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

And none of the Christians on this thread disagree with you on this. Where they disagree is with your methods of doing so.

REALLY? One reading this thread would never know that anyone had a passion for the soul of Doug....What if he died yesterday? Would one here have had time to show him the gospel in their lives? Oppppsssss tooo bad Doug didn't live long enough to "get it"

Doug was confronted with the cult word for a reason..he thinks that one can pick and choose anything they like and take the name of Christian..In my clumsy way I just wanted him to know that he was outside the professing church....As I said earlier HE knows he worships a different god than we do..and he is proud of it...

Jesus called it a vine..I told you Jesus was a calvinist:>)

Yo Ms Tulip, I told you that you were boasting against the branches. An obvious reference to Romans 11. You missed it. Your recovery was awkward.

[Invincibly Ignorant]

Nary a messaniac Jew there huh?

Where?

[CindyDawg]

Did you read what Mack wrote to me?

He also apologized. Turn the other cheek. Notice who isn't here?

[Invincibly Ignorant]

Calvinism is the religion of the reformation

Ah. So they are the ones responsible for not coming all the way out of Rome. lol.

[Jael]

Jael: You have a false dichotomy set up in your head. Doug isn't her enemy.

me: I have a freepmail from one of the Calvinists from just a few days ago, where he called me his enemy -- because I don't believe as he does.

Angelo, it doesn't matter what anyone else said to YOU. That doesn't make Doug Terry's enemy and it is a lie for you to claim that it does.

Besides, reading the conversation you had with "someone" speaking about the enmity between the saved and the unsaved has nothing to do with you or anyone else lying about Terry.

called an old hag

well he called me an old bag once. He's doing better, you know. In the whole tirade there wasn't any cussing. Becky's soap must be working. Can't you just laugh it off?

[CindyDawg]

I went here -- Bible: Revised Standard Version

thanks

yo Ms Busybody. (who thinks she's a martyr) Doug knows the gospel. He's your brother. Go badger someone else out of the kingdom.

Doug was confronted with the cult word for a reason..

For the same reason you should probably come out of your loveless cult.

he thinks that one can pick and choose anything they like and take the name of Christian..

For the same reason you're doing the same thing.

In my clumsy way I just wanted him to know that he was outside the professing church.

Clumsy way? lol. Try anti-christian way.

...As I said earlier HE knows he worships a different god than we do..and he is proud of it...

And you worship yourself.

[CindyDawg]

but there is an excellent RSV tool Here which provides for various search methods.

thank you too

[Jael]

...there is the one you and the muslims "believe in"

But the Pope says that the Muslims worship the same god as the RC.

called an old hag

Huh? I said this?

[RnMomof7]

Once again, I have to say that some of us plant seeds and some sow. It's up to God who, but if I yell and call people names and they turn away from God's message the opportunity is lost. In the end lost souls that have heard the gospel make their own decisions. That's between them and God.

It is up to God..but He uses people...

Telling someone to come to church with you is passing the buck Cindy..

Cindy find me one parable or verse that indicates that is Gods plan ok? If you notice in the NT unbelievers were not in the church..they were converted on the street THEN brought into the church

The church is for the equipping of the saints. It is not a salvation station

And thank you too

Don't leave the cap off the bottle of Welch's if you don't have it in the frig. :).

Nah, we just keep passing it around until it's gone in case someone wasn't right with the Lord the first time. (It's a joke, for those of you who don't get it)

[69ConvertibleFirebird]

Will this ever end?!?

[RnMomof7]

No I am clinging to the vine...That scripture in Romans is about the Jews..All that are Israel are not israel

Jhn 15:6   If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast [them] into the fire, and they are burned
  
  Rom 11:6   And if by grace, then [is it] no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if [it be] of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
  
  Rom 11:7   What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
  
  Rom 11:8   (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

[Invincibly Ignorant]

Which? This thread? Or the snipping? :-)

[RnMomof7]

You finally have something correct. Your love for Doug is "false love".

You will love your friend into hell now that is TRUE LOVE

[Invincibly Ignorant]

Good you found your way to Romans 11. You ignored all the verses with the word "root" in there. You're entire too selective. This tulip stuff has you treading scripture as if it were a smorgasboard.
