The Neverending Story
An ongoing debate on Scripture, Tradition, History and Interpretation.
Statesmen may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue. - John Adams |

God didn't wait for Satan to come to him. He went to Satan.
Yes, oh course ... this wasn't the question.
What was the purpose of this meeting between Jesus and Satan ?

You can't see what they're doin? Plain as day to me. Calvinist are trying to get the thread shutdown. Doing God's bidding so to speak so that what happened to me doesn't happen to anyone else.
Never mind that they're fairly ignorant of what goes on here.
Actually, is has occurred to me that there may be another reason to try to get the thread shutdown.
I cued the mod's in on this very possibility last night.
They (the mod's) appear to be keeping a watchful eye over the thread now.

I was justing fixing to FM you. Want to share your concern here?
To: Quester
I think you will find your answer in the following verses of Luke. This occurred right after the temptation of the wilderness:
Luk 4:17-21 "And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the book and found the place where it was written, "THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED, TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD." And He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."
Our Lord Jesus wanted to experience the temptations of man Himself before He preached to others. In other words, He practiced what He preached.

Why did you ping the mods from here? Why not FM?
To: HarleyD
You seem like an honest person. Just tell us. Are you and/or others trying to get this thread shut down?

Tragically, someone ran into my wife's cousin's car at our Southern Baptist church today (fortunately no one was hurt). The Calvinist in me just thought this was predestined by God. However, I should have pointed out to my good Southern Baptist friend that his "free will" caused the accident. I wondered how that would look to the claims adjustor. :O)

See post 3372. No Calvinist brought the Mods into it last night. I've never hit the abuse button, and have rarely posted to a Mod.
You obviously don't know the recent history of the Calvinists on FR. We believe ourselves to be an endangered species (the Lead Moderator said as much last night) and there's no Act to protect us, except for God's hand.
The Mods were pinged last night by someone OTHER than a Calvinist, and as a result, three Calvinists were banned on Easter morning.
Those are the facts.

I guess there's always the possibility that they were warned and could not behave themselves... even though it was Easter morning?
