Hi again Don.

Hi again Don.
"I, for one, do not accept this notion that a single act or word spoken in time puts one past forgiveness." I do not accept this either, I'm not sure if you are claiming that I did....
A correction, it was Pope Clement XIV that de-ordained the Jesuits from the mass worldwide (by decree), he later issued a bull "Dominus ac Redemptor" and dissolved the entire Jesuit order in return...
If anyone has never read this evidence presented by Augustus Toplady: that the whole Arminian system was invented by the papal Jesuits (Society of Jesus), which secret society has as it's sole...
Hi Don. Here are my thoughts on your latest post. I have put your comments in bold and mine in plain text, your quotations of me in italics. I hope I did all this correctly!
Here, having...
Hi Don. There is more than one issue raised here that are critical to judging all matters by the gospel.
• Holy Spirit regeneration as contrasted to Holy Spirit enlightenment on various issues...
Brethren,
Here is a link to what I am talking about: https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/15121.htm
Of course, the source is Roman Catholic but that does not matter.
I have written a lot...
Thanks so much Don for your gospel testimony and wisdom demonstrated in these posts! More interaction to come soon. I am going to post a new thread on Augustine's late 'conversion' to the gospel of...
In the past, I have had many challenges to the notion that the taunt against the king (kingdom) of Tyre in Ezekiel 28 in no way refers to Satan. Many have tried to score 'debate points' affirming...

The issue here is twofold: the doctrine of the biological transmission of sin from soul to soul and also the Traducian origin of the human soul. According to these, then, the origin of...
Kyle is actually closest to Austin.
Gill does not quite explain why Paul states there are some who 'perhaps' will be excused in conscience due to such light (what God has created), those who worship the creator in some manner until...
Hebrews 10:28-31:
He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the...
Many teachers of hypo-Calvinism and low-grace predestination today promote Andrew Fuller as some great light in the advance of the Reformation. The following links to articles of Dr. George Ella...
btw, the "Tyre and Sidon" issue is very significant. Not only did Christ say those places 'would have' repented, they did repent in connection with His ministry (Mark 7:24 ff, 3:8, Luke 6:17). At...
The second article is really good. I challenge the speculative notion: "except Adam had died, he would have abided alone, and the world would never have been peopled through him.". The Bible does...
The tenor of the article is excellent overall. I do not subscribe to Curry's view of the hereditary nature of a 'fall' of Adam, as all know who have read my writing for years. He stated: The total,...
A Brief Exegesis of Romans 5:12-21 (ESV)
NOTE: The position outlined here is one I have embraced, defended, and written about for many years. I am presenting it again as the old issue has come...
Thanks Brandan for this article, it hits the nail on the head. I do not believe the death as the consequence of Adam's sin is 'spiritual' death (dualism) that is promoted by most all teachers in the...
I am in process of composing my response, which will essentially be the same exegetical and logical arguments I have presented for years.
The Neon Gas Lamp speaks of Brandan's teaching as...
All I can say is, how is the traditional doctrine of 'hell' as perceived by most of those in 'orthodoxy' a part of the true gospel of eternal election and imputed justification in Christ's person and...
When I am able, in the middle of my present busy challenges, I will construct a response to arguments advanced by the neon gas lamp. So glad to have someone actually interacting again with attempted...
Thanks Brandan. Point well taken and understood completely. --Bob

Very simply, I see no essential difference! Neither one has a spoonful of the true gospel in them, both make the...
Brandan: This is my tendency now. I’m now pretty much settled in my convictions and I now tend to avoid this material... It’s tough to slog through the garbage and the muck for a few gold nuggets of...
Thanks Brandan. What I addressed in the article you cite was the false and horrific stand on issues in Protestantism that resulted from a revisionist view of historical theology.
Ultimately, the...
