  1. Brother Tony, I read your reply on Anderson, I know you all think I'm argumentative but, when you don't agree.....the first thought I had is, I wish you would introduce me to the guy that hasn't sinned, maybe David, that had a man killed so he could commit adultery, yet, he was & is a man after Gods own heart, or maybe Paul the guy that persecuted and had Christians killed, or maybe Richg or Kent H, or even you ! I used to listen to personalities also when I was younger but today and for some time, my only concern is, does it line up with scripture & to me its hilarious that you think "I'm in a fix" LOL, I interpreted what we've discussed perfectly, not because I'm smart, but because with an open mind to things of God, its an easy read.

      Keep deluding yourself. Nobody has said that anybody is without sin. But, Anderson continues to live contrary to many Biblical prinicples, as does Kent Hovind. Follow them if you wish...And this is going to be the last time I ask you to stop contacting me through the Single Status update option. If you don't, I'll use the ignore feature and turn it over to the moderators and administrators of the site. I've never claimed I was perfect, and your continued deflection and refusal to answer questions is only proof that your spiritually immature and in need of some serious soul-searching. I wish you well, and I'll be praying for you. 

      Again, don't contact me again unless it's on the PUBLIC forums. 

  2. I could quote a hundred verses that show the ridiculousness of thinking we will be gone when the tribulation starts, do you really think that Jesus suffered all that torment & humiliation on the cross and that were to get out scott free, with no testing of faith, no real hard trials, it doesn't even make sense. 1st Thess. 3:4,“For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.”

      If you've got something to state, do so on the public boards and stop posting to me individually The fact of the matter is that EVERY Christian DOES suffer tribulation in life. This doesn't necessarily equate to the Great Tribulation. You truly need to learn how to rightly divide the word. And again...don't post to me in private...if you've got something to say, out with it in the public forums.

  3. I have the same problem, mine is bonded by duck tape at 72 now. And I wonder about transferring over notes and the time it would take. I have had it for around 45years. My advice would to buy a double wide margin , Oxford or Cambridge. Some have margins all away around, but with print good on the eyes and some good Micron pens .005 or such. This would make a large Bible. I am writing about the pens for others sake. I have seen to many expensive Bibles wrecked by cheap ball point pens that bled though the pages and of course a cover for your new friend . Your truly Bro. West.

      I don't recall saying I was going to buy one....did I? I may have...I know I need a new one, as does my wife. We usually get the Thompson Chain Reference Study Bibles in large print. Being diabetic, I'm losing part of my eyesight. So, I need the big letters! ? I didn't report it to PastorMatt I realized I was being hasty because of lack of sleep. Covid has made me crazy these past four months. LOL

      I have asked you not to contact me on my profile...you, as an "old man" may have forgotten this. You've also ACCUSED me of having ME as my final authority. You don't know me, and you're  a liar. Don't...and I repeat, don't contact me again on my profile page. I'm reporting this to PastorMatt as I said I would. I'm also blocking you as of now. You are a hateful, lying, bitter old man.

  5. The original question by Brother Tony was about Peter being wrong in Acts two. Peter is responsible only for the light God gave him at that point. Later God gave him more light as in Acts 10. He is not the only one to have this happen Apollos (Acts 19:1-7) He was re baptized, why because he did not reject more light given to him.

    Cornelius was another who went by the light that he had, but when Peter spoke to him he received that light, in fact Peter may have received light himself not only about the gentiles, but that the Holy Spirit was given before baptism. (Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? Act 10:47) This is different than Acts 2:38.

    My main point is that the book of Acts is a book of progressive revelation and to rest your doctrine now on Acts two will produce damnable heresies. I know this first hand as being a member of the “Church of Christ” in good old Tennessee as a youth. I could of died and went to hell. Here in Indiana we have plenty that place the plan of salvation in Acts two. No, I am your Brother and not a MR. West, that is if you believe what Peter said again: For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 1Pe 3:18. This is the ministry of reconciliation spoke by Paul.

    So let me “TROLL” on out of here. Yours Brother West.

      West...don't contact me again on this thread...Only on the public forums. For allegedly being a 72 year old, you act more like a 10 year old. I'm tired of your subterfuge here. Only on a public forum will we discuss anything.PastorMatt is going to be notified of your behaviour if you contact me here on this thread again. Adios.

      My, you love yourself, don't you? Don't forget, West...you're a sinner...so I guess you're just as "vile," correct? I don't deny that the flesh is vile. As far as here on earth, we live peaceably with all men "as much as lyeth in you." But, the Bible also tells us to avoid vanity, which you seem to revel in. In Heaven we may indeed get along...in fact I'm sure we will...but here on earth, as long as there are differences between us in ideology and doctrine (I hold to the Bible), we won't. I don't deal well or kindly with people who make statements they can't defend, but instead use hundreds of unrelated Bible verses and circular reasoning.  Again...have a nice day.

      The only here who libelous (libel is written...slander is spoken...maybe you need to look the two terms up...) would be you. You don't know me, and I certainly, just from the limited interactions with you here, have no desire to know you. You also don't know my college professors or what they taught me...to a degree Acts has SOME progression in it, but it's not a progressive book...it's  historical in nature. Maybe you should look at the classification it sits under. Whether the "patriarchal trinity" as you call it, is mentioned or not, it doesn't justify your reasoning. 

      I am not the one stating that or questioning whether the Bible has errors or not..maybe you should go back and learn to read an comprehend who it is that is doing that, as I clearly pointed out who is questioning it. 

      As far as humor, I have plenty of humor...in fact, this whole interaction with someone who has circular reasoning and poor grammar and communication skills is very humorous to me. It's not meant as a slam, but rather one imploring you to proof read what you type before you post it. It helps. 

      As far as calling you "Brother," I'm still not convinced you are. I can only take your word for it. But, because you seem so offended by it, I'll call you by that for now. 

      Have a nice day.

      Don't get so defensive....I never stated that you WERE a troll, but that you were certainly stuck as a possibility of being one. This reaction shows your immaturity. And if you're not a Mr., then I take it you're a female using the Brother falsely. Conflicting statements don't help your case. 

      Acts is not a "progressive revelation,"...it's a historical book.

      I've lived here in Tennessee for over 25 years, and am very well aware of what the CoC believes. I also studied them when in Bible college back in the early  80s, and in high school in the 70s. 

      The implication of what I wrote was about a person who had asked the question of how Peter could have been so wrong about the events he spoke of. We know he didn't know all of the events that were to come, as the Bible had not been completed. You're correct in that he gave only what he knew at that time. Still, being led by the Holy Spirit he shouldn't (in the estimation of the person asking the question of me) have made such a mistake. This s considered by him to be one of the contradictions in the Bible.

  9. Congratulations on the "One Year In" badge! ? That's an accomplishment that I might make. I might not. I don't like spending a lot of time on Social media outlets. They truly, at times, seem to be a waste of time, filled with nothing but infighting and ugliness. I try to keep away from that stuff. Hope you're well.  Again, Congrats!

      I wasn't trying to "iinsult" you, was just stating what I saw as a possibility. I also had history as one of my minors. My majors were pastoral studies and psychology, but I never got the opportunity to finish. My second minor was in music. I also tried to major in journalism/creative writing. Working three jobs and trying to go to college just doesn't work, especially after one gets married. 

      I look forward to more conversations with you as well. This place is far more tame than what I have been in, such as the Southern Baptists site on Facebook. UGH...it's get's so down and dirty in there, I've had to limit myself in there. I used to also be on the Fighting Fundamentaist Forums back before Hurricane Andrew blew the owners church and house down!  It was terrible...it was offline for many months, and he never put it back up, but instead, let it go to pot. A participant in the group bought it ant changed the format. It's never been the same. I also participate in the BaptistBoard.com site. Never really liked that place, but was there for moral support for several friends. It's also changed, just as the modern Baptist Church has changed. 

      I loved history when I was in jr. high and high school, and it came over into my college years back in the 80s and when I tried to go back in the early 90s. My high school history teacher and I, along with a couple of other of my classmates, would spend all of our study hall time talking about history, and before school, and sometimes afterwards. He was a great teacher, and I really miss him. 

      Have a blessed afternoon.
