jt: Only ONE son of perdition???????  Where would anyone get such a peculiar idea? Eph 2 tells us we were all in that shape before embracing the truth and Heb 10:39 shows that it is possible to draw back to perdition as Judas apparently did. I believe it is John who speaks of 'many' antichrists that have gone out into the world. 
 
SLADE: John 17:12 "...not one of them perished but the son [singular] of perdition..." And also, whether Lance is thinking this way or not is merely speculation on my part.
 
jt: I would call what you describe 'peace at any price' Slade - Of what value is a truth talk list where some are forbidden to speak because others find their version of truth to be offensive? 
 
SLADE: No, that is not peace at any price. That is intentionally escalating the discussion for the sake of winning the argument. You know well that I said, "There are some doctrines we should never allow compromise on, but there are far MORE doctrines that require us to give grace and say, "Interesting perspective... not mine, but interesting nonetheless." Original Sin, Trinity, Eschatology, Dispensationalism, the spelling of Heretic[k], etc." Take what I said within this context.
