Samson:
Hi Everyone,

Everyone is invited to participate in this venture. I just desired to share my recent experience in a Youtube "Religious" discussion. On Youtube, I'm known as Oceangrove129, it's the place I was born, Ocean Grove, N.J. down by the Jersey Shore and My date of birth, 01-29-57. On Face Book, I just go by my regular name, Bradley A. Mathews. Rarely, do I get involved with any "Religious" discussion or debate on Face Book, mainly because of Family Members who are part of My Friend List, especially My youngest Daughter and some others I won't mention. Of course, it's the " He or She that is convinced against their Will, is of the same opinion still premise that I try to follow that is the CAUSE that prevents Me from arguing these beliefs we share at Bible Truths, etc, etc, etc.

However, recently(during the last week), I made a few comments at the Video, How The Church Destroyed My Faith By Jael Sister. This was the Video that I Posted on OFF TOPICS approximately a year or so ago. Well, I decided to make a few comments, primarily directed to a User named: Universalism Refuted. I made the usual comments, defining Aion & it's derivatives, defining Kolasin(to correct or prune), Timoria(Severe Penalty or Punishment), Apollumi(destroy, lose, lost or loss); Olethros(Destruction or Extermination) and the ALL being Eventually Saved Routine with the usual Scriptures(1Tim. 4:9,10; 1Tim. 2:3-6; 2Peter.3:9 and others). I even explained PAS(All, Everyone, As many as), God's total Sovereignty and that All Choices are based on prior Causes.

Now, I know We are counseled not to get into debates with those that don't readily accept these Truths after an initial reasoning, so there's no need for anyone here to counsel Me in this area. I have sort of a combination Type A & B Personality and usually I stay clear of these back and forth arguments that lead nowhere, but did any of you on occasion, due to Your Carnality and imperfect nature just get into that mind set where you desire to " Slam Dunk" these typically boring and predictable responses from "Orthodox" Type Christianity. This Guy from the Video, who made the Comments in response to Me is named: Cqqrzgth and gave the usual responses & comments- Context, Context, Context, His God of Context, Name Calling: We are Idiots & Dumb A@@es, The Parables are Literal; " You don't know Koine(Common) Greek," etc, etc, etc. By the way, I DID NOT RESORT TO NAME CALLING. The only rough comment I made is that it was Blasphemous to suggest that what God desires or wills will not or cannot happen due to Human choice and that it would mean that God is a Liar if what He desires doesn't come to pass.

Another reason to avoid these debates has to due to Mathematics, that's right, Mathematics. what I mean by that, You only get 500 Characters in each Post, so your limited. Does anyone here have any experiences like the above and occasionally fall prey to this DESIRE to get involved in these discussions, even though We probably shouldn't. This Guy(Cqqrzgth) was so Male Pride arrogant, MY Testosterone(the little I have left) started to flow encouraging Me to really SLAM DUNK this arrogant Jerk.

Let those thoughts flow, Samson.

I've stated this many times Brad. 

"Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience."

Craig

PS I know it is hard not to sometimes as we all have a little idiot in us.

Yep and big things come in small packages sometimes.

eskimojerry:
I do too have the same problem now and again, Samson. To try and keep myself from arguing, I try to look at it now as having different God. I have a God and more times than not, I know their god too from experience. The race is on, after all. Good day all. :)

Interestingly Enough Craig,

In my original comments at this You-Tube Video, I wasn't even communicating with this particular Guy. He wasn't even involved in comments that preceded mine. My initial remarks were directed at the Guy named: Universalism Refuted and then, out of nowhere this other Guy chimed in. I think the comment of His that annoyed Me the most was: We don't know Koine Greek. I kind of wonder, Who really exactly knows the Koine(Common) Greek Language of that period, We don't have any original Manuscripts to compare, perhaps maybe secular writings of a Non Scriptural Nature from that Time period. The only thing that I might have accomplished was a little Post Holiday venting and a little Winter Weather Claustrophobic Itis frustration removal,  ;),  ::).

Carry On, Samson.
