... They often assume it from two verses: Act 16:15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful...
Thank's for your response Jonathan, If that's all that they can come up with as a justifing defence, then I feel sorry for them. ...

Well guys, it actually goes deeper than that. Paedobaptists have a Theological System (a way of interpreting Scripture/how Scripture fits together) called...
Thank's for that Steven, I wouldn't be supprised, after quoting their doctrine, that they had to write their own bible,mmm! But to digress, if I may, you...

Well, that's a good question. I appreciate the manner in which you ask it! I hold the position that v. 8-9 of Eph. 2 is speaking about the free grace given to...
Uhhhh... its Stephen. Like the guy in Acts :) ... -- Soli Deo Gloria, Stephen Macasil "Resolved, never to give over, nor in the least to slacken, my fight...
First, I LOVE CHRISTIAN HEDONISM. I am almost 100% sure it's Biblical. But I have a problem with John constantly quoting Psalm 37:4 as a command. As John...
Simply put, both the Hebrew word and the Greek translation (LXX) are imperatives, which mean that the word translated into the English as "Delight" is in fact...
You're right, I see it in the Strong's now. Should have looked there first. So in this case, you might paraphrase this verse to read, "You are commanded to...
... Chris, I agree that Psalm 37:4 is not a command. But it is a non-command restatement, ofttimes easier to understand, of the following commandment: And...
But it is a command. Delight is in the imperative form, and an imperative is a command. It is not an option that you can consider. It is a command that, if...
It definitely is a command, but we have the option to obey it. It seems obvious that to deight in anything but the Lord would be idolary. Thus, it is in the...
We have the option to obey or disobey any command (even the Ten Commandments). However, as Piper brings out, God promises terrible things to those who don't...
No, yet this is the mystery: the blind shall be judged for not seeing. Actually, I don't like the way that sounds. It's more accurate to say they shall be...
... Well, now that I understand the Hebrew imperitive form of the verb, it seems "Delight" /is/ a command. I wonder if perhaps the Bible translators have just...
... The blind will be judged for not seeing? The man answered, "Why, this is an amazing thing! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes....
I think it is more that, since English is not an inflected language like Hebrew or Greek, our imperative form looks just like our declarative form. Soli Deo...

Actually, I do think it is biblically accurate to say that we are judge for our nature. Ephesians 2 says we are "by nature children of wrath." When Romans 5...
It's actually even more accurate to say that Ephesians 2 says that "*we were *" by nature children of wrath *like the rest of mankind. *Not that "we are"....
