John for JESUS wrote: Duh... Paul was visiting churches in different parts of the world when he wasn't being sent to different prisons. Paul was an apostles to the Gentiles to whom was committed the Gospel. He was actually visiting Synagogues for a while until the Lord showed him the depth of feeling against the Gospel among the Jews and then he turned his attention to the Gentiles. His aim was conversion and forming new churches. Sure after the churches had been formed he took it upon himself to confirm them in their faith and to teach them some more. As usual you like twisting the facts. |

John for JESUS wrote: I think that is a good point, but I also think it is possible that the gospel was heard all over the world in general with some pockets left to hear. If Paul wasn't talking about the gospel, do you still think whatever it was had still gone out into the whole world for people to hear? Would explain why Paul traveled so much. He was trying to find the pockets. |

John UK wrote: Mike, it is a wonderful question, and I shall eagerly wait for the reply. It is not wise to be either cold or lukewarm, but red-hot for the Lord, serving him with a whole heart, loving God with all the heart and soul, and to be loving one's neighbour as oneself. Maybe this is what revival preaching is really concerned with, these two things, from which flows all other things. I would love to see revival, have read of it, and seen some small measure of it in times past, but oh for such an outpouring of God's Spirit upon the dry and parched lands, that will effect a recovery of the church to its inheritance in Christ, all aglow with God's love and mercy, and testimonies that cannot be gainsaid. Rev 2.4, 54 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. |

Pastor Mike wrote: Five good reasons to quit church: 1. There's no proof God exists 2. The Bible is false 3. It's a scam 4. It's dehumanizing 5. People can take care of themselves Oh lookie, its the end time scoffer predicted by 2 Peter 33 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Time for your to repent Mike, before its too late! |

B.Rith wrote: Why yes of course! - it comes from the Bible. Can't you see that? Try interpreting "sunthapto" especially the "thapto" part. Also: "It is quite evident that both words, bapto and baptizo, had other meanings, such as “to wash,” “to bathe,” and to “purify by washing.” The idea of washing or purification gradually became the prominent idea, while that of the manner in which this took place retired more and more into the background. That this purification was sometimes effected by sprinkling, is evident from Num. 8:7; 19:13,18,19,20; Ps. 51:7; Ezek. 36:25; Heb. 9:10. In Judith 12:7 and Mark 7:3,4 we cannot possibly think of dipping." "Neither is this possible in connection with the following passages of the New Testament: Matt. 3:11; Luke 11:37,38; 12:50; Rom. 6:3; I Cor. 12:13; Heb. 9:10 (cf. verses 13,14,19, 21); I Cor. 10:1,2. Since the word baptizo does not necessarily mean “to immerse,” and because the New Testament does not in any case explicitly assert that baptism took place by immersion, the burden of proof would seem to rest on the Baptists." (L.Berkof) Are you still at school?! Seriously, you think and write like an infant!Possibly that is why you quote so much, because you can't think for yourself?! |

B.Rith wrote: And because they used the term "buried" the Baptists applied the method used in European countries, which is to dig a hole and 'dunk' the body into it. And hey presto the Baptists invented immersion?????????? However Christ was buried in the middle eastern way of cave with a humungous stone rolled in front of it. So the myth goes on that the poor Baptists couldn't think of a way to copy the cave/stone method and went for the European ground dunking instead. Is that how it happened in 1521 Anabaptist time? That's Baptist theology for you!!! Hey brains, figured out yet how sprinkling can signify a burial, middle eastern or any otherwise?! |

John for JESUS wrote: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, (II Timothy 3:2-4 NKJV) Doesn't that imply they love those sins rather than loving God? They choose those things over loving God which they could also do? Otherwise, why say "rather than"? That's your warped logic.It is a simple statement of fact describing the condition of lost men and women, not implying ability to do otherwise. |

John for JESUS wrote: Like when people are lovers of sin more than lovers of God, so they remain in it by choice. And of course you changed into a lover of God by the great power of your own free will. Congratulations! |

John for JESUS wrote: Scriptures teach that Jesus is the propitiation for the sins of the world and those in Christ are the ones who have their sins atoned for. God sovereignly lets people decide to trust in Him or not. You mean like he did when Adam fell and all of humanity was implicated in that fall without their sovereign free wills in exercise? |

John for JESUS wrote: I think it is best to believe what 1 John 2:2 says: Its not what the verse says that leads to the dispute. Its what you believe it means. You're putting your spin on it and the sad part is you can't even see that. |

Heartening to hear it!You ascribe the work in you to God and quite rightly insist that it has to be a supernatural work. So I don't understand what issue you have with DOG people. Care to explain? |

John for JESUS wrote: 4) Like a medicine that must be taken to be cured. Duck and Dive which ever way you want. You cannot avoid the fact from your own posting that Jesus placated the wrath of God (propitiated it) by offering satisfaction (an atonement). Satisfaction was the means to propitiate.On the one hand you insist satisfaction was made for every person, which would mean that God can no longer be angry with anyone, and then you duck and dive (seeing the absurdity of your logic) to then insist that one has to be in Christ to benefit from this satisfaction. How silly! According to your silly theology (if we dare call it that) God achieved absolutely nothing by the work of Christ. Christ only made something possible. People have to complete the process by saving themselves. God is now impotent to open hearts, to bring conviction etc. lest it jeopardize someone's precious free will. Ha! Beyond belief! What, if anything, do you pray that God will do for the unconverted, since according to you God cannot violate anyone's will? Prov 21:1 The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. J4, are you greater than a king to withstand God's will? |
