What need to worry when one's well versed in eisegesis, learned from the book of Delusion that you mentioned in a previous post?

It is time to seriously evaluate some these Christmas songs...

Here's a Christmas song that we introduced to our church this year. I think it does a good job of placing the incarnation in it's proper context.

1 O sing a song of Bethlehem,
of shepherds watching there,
and of the news that came to them
from angels in the air.
The light that shone on Bethlehem
fills all the world today.
Of Jesus' birth and peace on earth
the angels sing alway.

2 O sing a song of Nazareth,
of sunny days of joy;
O sing of fragrant flowers' breath,
and of the sinless boy.
For now the flowers of Nazareth
in every heart may grow.
Now spreads the fame of his dear name
on all the winds that blow.

3 O sing a song of Galilee,
of lake and woods and hill,
of him who walked upon the sea
and bade its waves be still.
For though, like waves on Galilee,
dark seas of trouble roll,
when faith has heard the Master's word,
falls peace upon the soul.

There was a time in my life when I was guilty of not obeying the Gospel. Did Jesus forgive me of that sin? I believe He did. If He forgave me of that sin, then He must have born the penalty for that particular sin (along with MANY more) on the cross. I find that there is no condemnation for my sin of disobeying the Gospel. After all, "Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us." (Romans 8:34) But did Christ die for every human being in the same way? If so, who can lay any charge against them, seeing as their guilt has been atoned?

And by the way, I'm not upset, and I hope you're not upset with me for butting my nose into the conversation you are having with Bro. Conner. I'll let you have the last word to me and then I'll go back to reading yall's discussion with interest.

Double jeopardy haven't you read of those who do not obey the Gospel?

Thanks for sharing the hymn. I hadn't heard it before, but what a great song of hope and gladness! I'd love it if you could post up the last verse.

5PM sure does come quick. A nice bowl of oatmeal, a shot of Metamucil, soak the choppers, kick off the bunny slippers, and off to bed.

I didn't post that to be contentious. I agree with your earlier post, and wasn't trying to pick a fight w/Bro. Observer. I think he knows that.

Bro. Christopher,

Here is an article that affirms your view that only few will be saved.
