Seems like the world is just a little bit safer when in its rulings the Supreme Court sides with the "sane." But sanity's victories are often insanity's burdens, so let's pray for the insane among us, people - like the four dissenting …

And your post is evasion.
The issue is and always has been the texts, Gao Lu. What do the texts in Acts report as Peter's message to his audiences about Jesus' relationship with God? My interpretive practices produce my answer …

Whether my practice inspires much confidence is not relevant to the questions I've asked about Peter's message concerning Jesus' relationship to God as offered during four consecutive presentations in the book of Acts, questions you ev…

Yet again you evade a question, reformed, this time by raising an issue I have dealt with explicitly in other posts.
What "the whole Bible" says about Jesus is NOT IN ANY WAY GERMANE to what Peter's audiences understood about J…

I asked you to respond to my question directly and without evasion. Unfortunately, you chose to respond with evasion. For you have NOT "already explained" the fact that to four consecutive audiences in the book of Act…

While I disagree strongly with the owner's decision, it's clear she made it a) in consultation with her staff, and b) in response to what she believes is Ms. Huckabee-Sanders' "defense" of the Trump presidency, a presidency whose actio…

I look forward to your exegesis of the four passages in Acts, and to your direct responses to my questions.

Your reply here conflates the rationales for the bakers and restaurant staff. When you revisit media reports about the restaurant incident, you'll note that the staff did not assert violations of their religion(s); th…

Thanks for sharing your views.
(Quote)I'm struck that you question the ability of the restaurant's personnel to "prove" that their action was in defense of moral values. How did the cake bakers "prove" that baking cak…

If in his baptisms of converts, Peter sought to fulfill Jesus' command to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, why didn't Peter just baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?

Three additional audiences - a curious crowd, a collection of religious leaders, and a Roman centurion - all to whom Peter makes precisely the same distinction between God and the one God raised, and in one passage, between God and th…

How sad. The story shows the complexity of the issues immigration policy decisions raise. Thanks for the link, Jan.

This post of yours, reformed, is probably much less constructive or insightful to me - certainly - and Wolfgang - highly likely - than it is to you.
And I'm still waiting for you to respond to a response I posted in repl…

That is one of the most amazing structures I have ever seen. I wonder how easy it is to find the book you're looking for?
Thanks for passing along the link, CM.

I concur with the basic thrust of Wolfgang's response to your post, CM. (a post for which I thank you, by the way) While you offer an insightful and devotional take on the Acts 2 passage I raised to your attention, you also offer no ev…

I accept that you think the scenarios are "hardly the same," reformed, but I don't know what you think of the actions of the restaurant owner in Virginia. Do you support his right to refuse service to customers in defense of his moral …

CM, I offer my genuine respect and appreciation for the work you put into creating posts such as this one. Your heart for Christ and the high value you give to your belief that Jesus was God are on vivid display in these collations of…

One last update: You consider me an "obnoxious and disingenuous" "big boy" who's "all hat and no cowboy." Yep. Those feelings are definitely "innies"!
p.s. It took me a moment to come to peace with the fact that you consid…

I don't know what kind of "case" you're asking about. The case I "ferreted out" earlier in this thread was detailed, specific, and documented. It had to do with your attaching quotations from a March 2015 Washington Post story to two <…

I'm glad the issue matters to you, but your passion doesn't obscure the fact that lots of "real families" have been separated "legally" by the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy, and it is not yet clear that all of those se…

I not only read what you wrote, Gao Lu, I quoted it... correctly and in context. Now please return the favor. Prove that I'm "(twisting)" what you wrote "into lies" by quoting from what you wrote. Specifically, quote for us the section…

SO, that's the fuller story behind the "Under Obama" quotation you offered in your post. What about the other quotation you offered? Much to my surprise, given that you labeled the other quotation "Under Trump," giving us a rather clea…

If you're saying she didn't wear that jacket at any point in her trip today - e.g. getting on the plane to fly to the border - please confirm so, and I will immediately apologize for my previous post. I don't at all mind critiquing the…

I give high praise to the First Lady for traveling to our nation's southern border today. Well done. But I wonder about our First Lady when for a trip to kids and families in desperate straits, subjects all of tense national passion and debate, s…

I'm sorry that I have not made clear to you, Dave, that given what I consider to be your patently disrespectful refusal to engage any of the many texts I have presented to you in the past while I have directly and substantively engaged…

As you know from reading the Townhall.com article, reformed, its author presents only two numerical summaries of Obama-era immigration conditions:

It's necessary to be a Christian (see your quoted post above) but it's not necessary to include/understand it while presenting the Gospel. I'm surprised.
