Dean, as far as my posting on 2Pet 2.1-22 is
concerned, I posted the verses which served to establish a context in terms
of its referents. I left most of the verses out because they rested upon
other verses to supply an antecedent. I clearly stated in my address that
this was what I was setting out to do. Surely you can understand that my
objective was not to make a biblical argument, but to trace the referential
context of verses 21-22 (the verses you quoted).

Dean, with all
respect, you are not in a position to make such a determination, as you
have not examined the argument from my perspective. Yours is a different
paradigm altogether, one which functions from within the
Calvinist-v-Arminian tradition. The thing you do not realize is that
your position is only relevant from within that debate. Arminianism is a
notable response to Calvinism, yes; but, at its core, it operates on the
same set of assumptions, merely playing the role of antagonist. But what
if the assumptions of Calvinism are wrong? What if they are off base?
What if they do a disservice to the God of Scripture? Quite frankly, you
will never know it, because yours are the same presuppositions as
those of Calvinism -- unless, that is, you open yourself to a
new set of presuppositions. I have been fortunate to examine those
tired assumptions and, with the help of some wonderful teachers,
have found them wholly inadequate to address the "who" of Jesus Christ.
Hence, as I told you before, I am uninterested in this debate,
'cause I've already been there, my friend, and done
that.

cd: Respectfully Bill-From my perspective you stated that I
was lucky you didn't join the debate until now-then when I respond you
give a tragic event story of your father and yell at me -Then send
some passages to offer support which were altered by you (v.20)-to which
you still haven't explained.Then you state I have had this discussion
before so I will not do so now but I was right before so one should take
my word for truth now. Now your students get nasty with me. This is
sounding strange to me. By the way the heck with Cal-Armin.
views-what does the Bible say on this subject?
Rev 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold
fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
Ask yourself this :
1 What was heard?
2 What does hold mean?What are we to hold fast to-and
how does one not hold fast?
3. What does repent mean? And repent of what?
4. Why would Christ warn about coming as a thief? Does
he make this "thief" claim elsewhere in the Bible to tie thought
together?
