The “rather” does not mean what you claim it to me. You ride on the English word in this way only by divorcing it from the original Greek.

I know what 'is' means and I know what 'rather' means...

So what do you think rather means???

Are you suggesting that the greek word doesn't mean rather in English???

***The Holy Spirit did not write the Bible.

ROTFLOL! You didn’t even wait until tomorrow to contradict yourself again.***

Wow. You cannot keep anything straight.

Let’s go back to post 338:

MB:The Bible was written and assembled under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit

Dr.E.: Ah. At last, sanity. So it is not “Bibliolatry” to believe the “Holy Spirit wrote the Bible.”

May I quote you tomorrow when you change your mind?


I cannot help but wonder how in the world one can manage a computer but not keep a single thought straight. What is your hypothetical doctorate in? Does it involve street pharmceuticals and alternate states of reality?

I never said that I could keep these commandments; it is the God of Love and Mercy that I depend on to forgive my sins.

I never said that any of us could keep these commandments. And that is exactly my point; man cannot love God unless God gives us that power to love Him.

The message of Jesus was not love and mercy and charity. The message of Jesus was about glorifying God. The way you glorify God is through love and mercy and charity. And these are gifts from God which He gives to us to help us glorify Him.

Yet you didn't include it.

lol. Do you excerpt from people's remarks or do you post every word they write?

As I said, including the extra words would in no way change what was meant nor written.

Sorry for the double posts. I’m distracted.

What was ambivalent about my saying that I find nothing in the WCF that is not true nor unScriptural?

“It’s easy to see why the missionaries we support in Latin America are succeeding.”

The fastest growing religious movement in Central and South America is the Pentecostal movement. It is growing so fast and causing so many to leave the Roman Catholic church that they are beginning to feel the usual backlash of persecution.

Another interesting feature in Central America is the Roman Catholic church’s history in the “Theology of Liberation” movement; a decided marxist movement that was the spiritual energizer of revolutions in the countries. It is the model that James Cone uses for his “Black Liberation Theology” that is prominant in Jeremiah Wright’s troubles.

You haven't answered it at all. Not once. Just in case you've forgotten, here it is again: Do you believe that Pope Benedict XVI is the antiChrist?

The original question was whether or not I believed the WCF.

And now for the ninth time, I will say again...

I do not see where Ratzinger contradicts or disproves one word of the WCF. After all, he calls himself "another Christ" and "infallible," hallmarks of you-know-who.

I'm appalled at your post regarding the "recruiting of the savages in Africa."

You should really be ashamed of yourself. But I won't hold my breath.

As Christ said, your own words condemn you.

Thank you for those quotes from Scripture.

Machen never made the deadly error of calling himself "another Christ" nor thinking he was "infallible."

Yawn.

In post 268 you wrote:

Umm, you may wish to consider what Scripture is. It is what we wrote as an accompanying manual for the teachings of the Church.

Now you're saying the Holy Spirit wrote the Bible.

I realize you're having trouble keeping up with your own posts between all the sarcasm and personal attacks you're leveling at Bible-believing Christians, but try harder.

Your own words condemn you.

***The original question was whether or not I believed the WCF. ***

Then you wouldn’t mind answering this other original question:

Do you believe that Pope Benedict XVI is the antiChrist?

It is not complicated and never has been.

I agree. Yet egotists like Luther, Cauvin, Zwingli and Machen set out to dumb it down. Why would that be?

Satan is the father of all lies.

LOL. Yes, the truth bores some people because they prefer the darkness to the light.

Therefore, they sleep.

***I’m appalled at your post regarding the “recruiting of the savages in Africa.”***

If you were honest, you might include my full posting which included the uncivilized in Africa and Southeast Asia.

Bearing false witness is specifically condemned in the Bible, or doesn’t that apply to the selected elected elite? I cannot think of a Biblical injunction that would compel one to fully answer what one has hinted at and is called on. I’ll just refer to it as intellectual dishonesty.

Unlike certain arrogant Reformed with a massive inferiority complex, I’ll trust in God to be my Judge, not tin pot bloodthirsty dictators or theological Visigoths.

Do you believe that Pope Benedict XVI is the antiChrist?

When I am in error, I normally apologize and attempt to mend my ways. It appears that the elected selected elite of the Reformed need not stoop to such peasant ways.

Do you believe that Pope Benedict XVI is the antiChrist?
