Um, you kinda went unhinged there. It was answered appropriately. Plus, remember that Jesus gave His mother away?

Then you're also blind.

Are you seriously suggesting you didn't just give the scripture talking of Peter laying a foundation, Rom 15:20?

Maybe. It sounded better in my head. I guess my point was that WHO it was written to is important, but discerning how it applies to them helps us to better apply it to ourselves. For instance, if Ezekiel 38 was written to people that it didn't apply to at all (because they would be long dead...

I'm not sure it wouldn't be possible in other ways. For instance, in Muslim cultures sometimes pressure is exerted on Muslim store owners not to buy from or sell to non-Muslims.

While I agree that evil is not forced on the world by God, He certainly allows it temporarily. But I expect there will be a day when it is no longer present, but still allowed. I say this because if we in our spiritual state (resurrected to die no more) have free will still, then we can still...

I think there's little doubt we can learn much from all the books of the New Testament, but we have to understand how they were written to whom they were written. I don't think we should take the subject matter as our guide regarding to whom they were written, at least in most cases, since we...

Hard to argue against Christians needing to eschew pornography and adultery. Or against demons being demonic. Sometimes the demons might make you less miserable temporarily before they make you more miserable in the long term.

Ok. Did somebody say they thought that in this thread?

Yes, but if someone is building on the idea that we have "free will" and it means the same as what you mean when you say "will". how does the result change someone's idea of God's sovereignty?

Why is this distinction so important to you and @Right Divider? I agree with you, but it seems a distraction hardly worth the time, brought up when other topics are at issue.

I hope it doesn't cause you too much trouble. Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic condition that can lead to chronic lung, ear and sinus infections, along with other disorders in children Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic condition that can lead to chronic lung...

If God being in control means that only what He desires will happen, it negates the concept of sin. If it's His desire, and sin is acting against God's desires, then sin is impossible.

You got me there. Yet you think that's something to laugh about? That's why I asked further questions. Yet the answer was ":ROFLMAO:"? Why is that even related to Paul's admonition not to treat the Lord's table scornfully? You've swallowed quite a bit more of something. And you don't even...

Had anyone noticed how the MADs seem to use the same reactions as flat-earthers when they don't have an answer? :ROFLMAO:

Which is your way of admitting that what I said was correct, despite your slander.

Meaning that some believers look like unbelievers, right?

Isnt this your response to fzappa13?

And future readers as well, both believers (some who look like unbelievers, according to @Right Divider) and unbelievers (who look like believers, according to @JudgeRightly)
