BTW, l'm not judging him as a person.
For all l know, he might juggle for kids at a hospital on the weekends.
His girlfriend might think he's the funniest man on the planet.
He may build homes for the poor with his own money.
It's what he is teaching on CC....that l and others are concerned about.
Well, I have nothing to hide.
What do we agree on?
1. The Trinity or the Godhead
(i.e. the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost are separate persons but they are all one God).
2. Jesus Christ is God Almighty in the flesh.
3. The Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God.
What do we disagree on?
1. You believe in "Once Saved Always Saved or a "Sin and still be Saved" doctrine instead of Biblical Conditionalism.
You do not believe a Christian will ever stop sinning and most of those here who believe in some form or another of this teaching have a problem with me preaching out against such a false doctrine.
2. You believe in Eternal Conscious Torment instead of "Dualistic Conditional Immortality" as the Bible teaches.
Granted, I do not believe that to be a salvation issue, but I can see one holding to such a belief as being inconsistent with one saying that God is love and or that His Judgments are good. For I believe God's righteous ways can be explained. They are not a mystery. I believe the story about the Richman and Lazarus is real. But that the Richman was being tormented by the heat of the flame in front of him. I believe the Lake of Fire is a place whereby the wicked will be destroyed both body and soul as Jesus says (Matthew 10:28).
3. Most in your camp believe God commanded Hosea to marry an actual prostitute whereas I do not believe the text says that.
4. You believe Jesus made alcoholic wine at the Wedding of Cana wheras I do not believe that is what the text says.
5. You believe Jesus condones the New Covenant believer to be able to use physical violence against another. I do not believe that is the case. Jesus said for us to turn the other cheek if we are smitten and to pray and do good towards our enemies. Jesus did not say we were to kill our enemies back. Yes, God commanded the entire destruction of certain people groups in the Old Testament, but we are not under the Old Testament anymore.
