@Biblethumpingwi No one believes we get the final say Mr. Strawman. God gets the final say by deciding to actually give us eternal life to those who believe. And he sovereignly set it up that way. Why do you have a problem with his sovereignty to do that?
@5Solas Was the use of the word decreed by these translators decreed? Imagine not forgiving translators for doing what they were decreed to do. I guess the unforgiveness was decreed too. #NoRogueMolecule
I hope Leighton Flowers doesn’t mind me sharing this, but he was doing a celebratory livestream for reaching 100k YouTube subscribers when he got the news of Voddie’s passing. You can see his heart break before uttering a tearful prayer and ending the stream.
I choked up watching this, and walked away convicted that I should strive to have such a loving heart as he does.
Actually, it’s because we care about lost souls that we don’t want people misled to believe that it’s not their responsibility to repent and believe, which is the implication of Chadd’s message to Joe. (ie only if God unilaterally elected and irresistibly called you can you come, and you certainly will if He does)
I’m not sure what you’re worried about given the fact that on Calvinism, nothing we say is going to change the predetermination of Joe or any other elect/reprobate individual who may hear our warnings. However, if you and Chadd are in error, it may very well hinder Joe’s conversion. We care about him and his listeners enough to say so.
@Lead_Flinger I don’t think Dave “won” necessarily but Murray definitely did not wipe the floor with Dave ☠️ and everyone who is suggesting so is delusional.
You can only talk about football if you’ve played in the NFL
You can only know baseball history if you’ve played in the major leagues.
You can only be an expert in professional wrestling if you are in WWE
@sola_chad I think the comments mentioning about bringing your “best and worst” misses the point. Hebrews says Abel brought his offering by faith. Logical conclusion would be Cain didn’t bring it by faith. Reminds me of the poor woman giving 2 copper coins vs the rich giving large amounts
@PeterEdelman5@joshua_p_jung@synodofdork @Ovadjahu Small church in California. In that instance was just about a season our specific church was going to go through.
But it doesn’t matter, you’ll find a way to discredit it.
Anyways, have a blessed day
@PeterEdelman5@joshua_p_jung@synodofdork @Ovadjahu There was an older lady from my church I used to go to. She would speak in tongues for the congregation (nothing flashy or yelling) and then she would immediately interpret into Spanish to edify the church. Exactly how 1 Cor 14 teaches. She had the gift of interpretation too
@Ovadjahu @joshua_p_jung@synodofdork Words in context have meaning. Just because you pull up a screenshot that has words to seemingly back your stance up doesn’t mean much. 1 Cor 14 context isn’t about translation
