So your approach to Bible study on the subject of the Trinity is to "force a proper balance" between texts that present different messages? I am no more familiar with the concept of forcing balance between texts than I am with playing …

I am disappointed but not at all surprised by your response to the texts I listed, Gao Lu. You take a rudimentary and uninsightful approach to expressing your disagreement with my conclusions: You bundle them under the banner judgment …

I don't subscribe to wsj.com, so I'm only able to read the piece's opening paragraph. Since you obviously did get behind the site's paywall, Gao Lu, please quote from the article a paragraph or two that in substantive ways dispute the …

I don't know about our respective posts' sadness or hilarity, reformed, but I do know about their respective bases in fact. CM and I each showed convincingly that the American government's $400 million payment to Iran was in no consequ…

In a review of my posts on the most recent 8-10 pages of this thread, Gao Lu, I found that I had cited the following 22 verses/passages:
Matthew 12.15-18
Matthew 26.36-46
Matthew 27.46
Mark 10.18
John 5.… -

Please convince me, Dave, that there's reasonable cause for us to fulfill your request for our "favorite proof texts" given your past and predictable history of refusing to engage any of the texts we've offered. The last time I asked y…

Jesus tells his disciples that he is about to leave the world and go to the Father. His disciples tell him they NOW understand what he's been trying to tell them. NOW they understand that he came from God. The disciple…

Your response disappoints me, CM, but it doesn't surprise me. Your refusal to engage the texts I cited is in keeping with the response most advocates of Jesus' deity have offered in CD forums over the years I've been in them when prese…

I bet the president would be proud to have you as a Trumpster, reformed.

The president claimed in an interview THIS WEEK that people came to him asking their sons' remains be brought back home from Korea. Those people's sons died at least 65 years ago, which means it's a good bet those sons were born at le…

I hope - but am not certain - that means you're going to post a response to each of the ten texts I cited in the other thread, CM. I look forward to your takes on them.

"Disgusting" accurately reports my assessment of the president's moral, ethical, intellectual, political, diplomatic, and temperamental leadership over the first 18 months of his presidency. I respect the fact that you choose very diff…

Thanks for the invitation, CM. I'll give it some thought... as I hope you will give some thought to responding to my request for your take on the ten texts from John's Gospel that I posted for your attention in in Homosexuality: Innate, Perversion or Choice? Comment by Bill_Coley June 2018

I think you make a valuable point via your "why not?" question, CM. When a rogue state run by a lunatic dictator is on your border, it's easy to support any news that reduces tensions, if only for a period of time. Just ask our friends…

I wish you could access the lengthy Romans 1 study we conducted in the previous iteration of CD. I don't have the time or patience to reconstruct the material I wrote there. It will have to suffice to say I think the Romans 1 passage i…

No, reformed. Two people can each be "honest" yet understand Scripture's message differently. For example, though I disagree strongly with your understanding of Scripture's message on homosexuality, I don't doubt your honesty. Honesty …

I accept his claims. Do you accept the claims he made in the ten texts I cited in a previous post in this thread? I hope you will engage these texts, CM, as directly as I have engaged the texts you offered:
- John 20.17 - …

On the subject of the role of truth, morality, and values in governmental affairs, reformed, I read this as your most revealing post yet. You, like the president you support, see government as fundamentally transactional - whatever rel…

And again contrary to your previous contention that as of John 17.1, Jesus has not yet revealed himself as God, now you say that in fact Jesus first revealed himself as God in John 2, and again in John 4, and again in John 8?

So you're saying the president of the United States traveled to Singapore to meet with and heap praise upon one of the world's most brutal dictators in order to sign an agreement... to work toward a future agreement. Might it have been…

So you contend that in John 17 Jesus "has not yet revealed himself as God." Does that mean you disagree with CD posters who have claimed John 8.58 reports an occasion when Jesus reveals himself to be God?
Specific to your point…

But Dave, you claimed that Wolfgang and I "cannot grasp" the meaning of Scripture passages. So on what basis did you decide that providing ADDITIONAL Scripture passages might "(force) a correct interpretation" on us?

1) It's hard to fathom that President Obama (or any other president in the last 40 years) would ever have agreed even to meet with Dictator Kim under current circumstances, let alone to sign the vacuous "agreement" President Trump sign…

Given the national and international embarrassment that was the president's performance at the G7 summit, it was almost guaranteed that he would declare ANYTHING that happened in Singapore to be a victory. As it turned out, there was a…

Jesus begins the prayer (John 17.1) with the term of endearment "Father," but in 17.3 does not refer to God as "Father" or to himself as "the Son." He calls God "the only true God," and he calls himself "Jesus Christ," the one God has …
