Speaking of the devil, do you blame him for your ignoring what Jesus said in all of Scripture? So did Eve (Gen. 3:13). Pray for humility!

I discern an unteachable spirit in you that ignores Genesis 1 and John 1, which teach that God's Word is not confined to Scripture but is also revealed via creation and the preincarnate Logos as well as via the post-NT indwelling Holy Spirit (John 16:12-13).

I seem to claim what Eph. 4:11-16 says, which you seem to deny. All truth is on the same level in One Way, but post-NT insights are not canonical, so what we all share on CC should be tested and incorporated into our beliefs if deemed good/true (1Thes. 5:21).

All humans who have ever lived had the God-given/enabled ability to be truthseekers or hunger and thirst after righteousness, and God's Word was revealed to folks before the OT and then the NT were written before the Bible was widely published after the printing press was invented circa 1500 AD...

No, I disagree with your fallible claim that John 17:17 means "You should look for Truth in God's Word which is the only source of Truth", because God's Word was revealed to folks before the OT and then the NT were written, and even after the Bible was written it was not widely published until...

I am not the one who said "They were Apostles, these other yahoos you mentioned were not." "Other yahoos" includes you, does it not? Or are you an infallible pope?

You are correct about people from birth until old age recovering and having natural immunity with no need of boosters, which makes that the cheapest route, and treatment with therapeutics is cheaper than the vaccine, which is why the drug companies lobbied against that route. In fact, both I...

Well, neither are you, so you should not post. (Actually, all in Eph. 4:11-16 were NOT Apostles.)

God's Word was revealed to folks before the OT and then the NT were written. Even after the Bible was written it was not widely published until after the printing press was invented circa 1500 AD. Do you deny general revelation via creation and conscience? Do you think you are infallible?

Well, duh! But Jesus taught via Paul, and Paul taught Eph. 4:11-16. If you think JC does not teach via you, then you should not post!

I began by wanting to learn answers to the questions/claims of atheists, but I soon learned that they are as closed-minded as some who claim to be Christians, so I changed my desire to wanting to inoculate Christians against atheism. On this thread, I amended the OP to include warning folks...

I appreciate Luther and Calvin helping to free people from Roman Catholicism, and I appreciate Billy Graham working for a salary rather than seeking to be rich, but I do not know much about Spurgeon. I also appreciated R.B. Thieme for teaching people at a seminary level, which I wish more...

Yes, it was so obvious that Covid should be cured the same way it was when Trump caught it aka therapeutics rather than via mandatory and untested/experimental shots and ventilators.

Yes, our hope is for forgiveness of sins so that we may go to heaven (Rom. 8:22-25).

It is impossible not to belong to a group of people who believe similarly enough to be called a denomination, so I encourage you to embrace truthseeking as perhaps the most fundamental and inclusive way of describing the narrow way and the remnant. Also, let us refrain from calling folks names...

Yes, we should recognize that the long form of the creed begins simply in a form young children can understand, such as “Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so” and develops or expands from there with deeper understanding (Eph. 3:16–19) as we mature spirituality (Eph. 4:11-17).

Well, I realize my need of moral reform, and my experience of inadequate teaching in Baptist churches motivated me to reform them and all churches to do better discipleship and especially apologetics or witnessing to atheists.

You mean like “doctor” Fauci claimed to follow science and effectively helped murder millions of people almost including me?

Yes, see what I just posted in #165. Most people seem content with remaining baby Christians instead of wanting to be fed meat and become mature witnesses.

Yes, because what almost everyone fails to realize is that every church should be a mini seminary. The only pastor I have known who taught that way was Robert Thieme.
