    The Spirit searched and knows the very mind of God the father, so he knows all the father does!

    Bushwhacker pot shot

    Note the complete absence of the answer to the questions:
    How could the Holy Spirit and Jesus not know the time of return if their "understanding" is infinite? The alternate translation choice of a few versions is "beyond measure" or beyond our comprehension. But that would not require it to be infinite, because almost all of us can look at the stars and realize our knowledge is limited.

    Your questions aren't important, and the answers are spiritually meaningless.

    Yet another pot shot by the bushwhacker. How could the Holy Spirit and Jesus not know the time of return if their "understanding" is infinite?

    I repeat, for the hearing impaired:

    "Here is the answer written with a bigger Crayola. What are the adjectives? Total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, perseverance of the saints. If Scripture teaches these points only without the modifiers, what have I said? "Scripture supports depravity, election, atonement, grace, and perseverance." Scripture does not support these concepts as distorted by Calvinists through adding the adjectives above. Get it?"

    That answer to your TULIP question was posted two weeks ago. What part of it is unclear to you? If you cannot grasp the clear meaning of simple sentences you really should leave the holy task of Scriptural interpretation to others.

    Your name-calling is ungracious and erroneous to say the least.

    Yet another slander, another off topic deflection, and no answer in sight from the bushwhacker in chief. This professing Christian asks questions but keeps his own position hidden, all the better to take pot shots at the unwary.

    Did this guy say which of the points of the TULIP he disavows, or did he create undefined points which he then says scripture supports. And which of the points distorted by Calvinists does he disavow? Who knows.

    The answer is clear to everyone but you.

    Tick tock, waiting for someone to say this bushwhacker disavows the T or U or L or I or P.

    Yes it is a challenge to admit error, rather than hold on to mistaken beliefs. Hence the silence...
