The Narrow Path Ministries

Steve and Homer and everyone,

I am going to be out of pocket for the next couple of weeks with trips and meetings. I am not ignoring you, but I just won't be around to blog.

I have enjoyed it. Take care.

Steve G, I have not yet mastered how to quote other posts, but here is my response. I laughed (not sarcastically) when you mentioned the OT saints. Touche! I think it may be question begging, since we are debating that point, but you it was witty. I see Romans 3:10-18 as proof of Romans 3:23. Paul i...

TK, I am not familiar with Paidion's post you are referring to, however, if he was saying that God follows the law of non-contradiction, I would second that notion. I like the way that Paidion attempts to reason. He writes very irenic and thought provoking posts. Additionally, I think he has some go...

Steve, Could you provide me with a Scripture that shows an unregenerate man being spiritually minded? I guess you are correct; at this forum, only Calvinists would argue that an unregenerate person cannot be spiritual without the Spirit first changing them. I feel uneasy about that, to be honest. If...

SSS, I did not see your hit piece last night. God was merciful. Job repented because he mouthed off to God and questioned His sovereignty by claiming that it was unjust for God to take away what He had previously granted. In Job 1, God calls Job blameless and says he is above reproach. Job's sin cam...

Hi TK, Brainwashing is a term that implies deception, as if God unjustly manipulated someone He had no right to impose His will on, and tricked them into a false reality where their mind now dwells. It is interesting that this type of language is used of the devil in 2 Timothy where Paul says that t...

Steve7150, While one instance does not make a norm, there is more than one instance, and Paul talks about this form of governance from God as always having been the norm in Romans 9. I am asking you to comment on a specific verse only to keep us from being all over the map. One problem I keep runnin...

Homer, When you argue that the issuing of a command logically necessitates the ability to perform the command, then what you are saying is the legitimacy of the command is somehow tied to the ability of the recipient to perform it. If the recipient cannot perform the command, then the command may be...

Homer, I have a meeting in a few minutes, and I do not have my Bible out, but I want to partially answer your post. Depending on the day, I will complete this later. In reading your posts, I usually do not see anything that I find all that worrisome (from my limited opinion). I may disagree with som...

Steve7150, I have a request for you. I have enjoyed talking about this subject with you, but in reviewing our posts back and forth, I see that we have written quite a lot and interacted on any of the texts very little. The posts, as I see it, have this format: 1) I write a post (unfortunately, it is...
