But how do we know this author is not theorising in a vacuum? What is the evidence for her proposals as to the cause of homosexuality?

]]> Comment on C.I. Scofield by Rev. Donald G. Hill, Ph.D. http://pilgrim-platform.org/2010/c-i-scofield/#comment-739 Rev. Donald G. Hill, Ph.D. Sun, 05 Feb 2012 03:17:41 +0000 http://pilgrim-platform.org/?p=604#comment-739 Thank you for the information you have shared re: C.I. Scofield. I regret that Mr. Scofield seems to have been in the dard re: the baptism in (or filling of) the Holy Spirit and the present day reality of spiritual gifts. But he was right about the pre-trib rapture and the 1,000 year kingdom reign of Christ upon earth after a very literal seven year tribulation. John Nelson Darby did not invent the pre-trib rapture any more than Martin Luther invented justification by faith! If you will go to my website and click on to my article "The Case for the Pre-trib Rapture" you may receive some help with this. Yours in the Blessed Hope, Brother Don.

I long for what you describe as "classical congregationalism." Please continue writing articles and books that clarify what the historic foundation of Congregationalism was in hope and prayer that those who have abandoned it may return to it. And those who know not of it would be prompted by the Holy Spirit to build upon it. Thank you. Phillip – as a CCCC ordained minister, I have found your articles to be very helpful.

]]> Comment on Marriage Fidelity by Sara http://pilgrim-platform.org/2012/marriage-fidelity/#comment-721 Sara Tue, 03 Jan 2012 15:46:56 +0000 http://pilgrim-platform.org/?p=1012#comment-721 I couldn't agree with you more. HIPAA laws do need to be changed. I had worked in hospitals prior to the law and never saw any of the issues that they claim they needed to protect. Although, I am sure that laws are needed to protect your health care history from general knowledge and to protect your identity information. Recently my mother in law was hospitalized in another state and even being a family member they withheld her condition and progress from us until we could prove we had power of attorney. Over the phone they would not believe that we were family members. On another occation, at the nursing center, they told us we could talk to her and find out how she was doing! Honestly, if I were ill or dying in the hospital and friends wanted to visit, that should be my call not HIPAA's. I couldn’t agree with you more. HIPAA laws do need to be changed.

Perhaps Mr. Scofield should have taken that to heart. “I am reminded of the words in James, “Don’t many of you seek to be teachers becuase in doing so you incur a stricter judgement.”

I noticed the host seemed to be keen on Phil getting his comments in. Some of these "talking heads" seem to really know how to keep their message going but sometimes the substance seems vague. I don't watch many online videos but it's surprising how many of them are on RT. Very good show and Phil makes some interesting points.

Looking forward to Marking God's Word next.
