I can't mean "2000" or 2500 or 1500 ... But if you mean it can be off by 5 or 10 years I do not doubt that such a thing could happen. A thousand generations - -in the context of "God's faithfulness" where the text does not mean "God will become unfaithful after 1000 generations. By contrast...

There is not one text in all of scripture where "1000 years" means "as long a time as you wish not actually 1000 years". In Rev 19-20 we see that the time between the coming of Christ in Rev 19 and the lake of fire in Rev 20 -- is exactly 1000 years. In 2 Peter 3 -- the "coming of the Lord"...

I don't find any text says all Angels are demons and I don't find any mention of evil spirits or demons in Gen 6. But a noted above we see that Satan is Beelzebul - rule of demons in Matt 12:23. A fallen Angel as the ruler of demons. 2 Ki 1:2 Satan as the prince of demons. A fallen angel -...

2 Thess 2:1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. NKJV 2 That ye be not soon shaken...

I take it from your comment that you too agree that claiming someone is over half a mile tall - is pretty silly. In 1 Enoch, Book 1… chapter 3 they bare "great giants, whose height was three hundred cubits". Because cubit is 18 inches (46 cm), this would make them 450 feet (140 m) tall. Book...

not included in the Canon of scripture. And for good reason. It says that giants were over half a mile tall. That is pure nonsense.

I understand your urgent need to get in good health. Will be praying for you. You are trying to lose 280 pounds fast. I went from 240 to 180 but that is nothing compared to what you are dealing with. I do know this - you can't gain weight or even maintain your weight if you just stick to a mix...

35 And He said to them, “When I sent you out without money belt and bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” They said, “No, nothing.” 36 And He said to them, “But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his cloak...

Indeed and some of those groups are affiliated with the scholarship I note above. Given what Paul says about that idea in Romans 8 -- I choose to let them each speak for themselves before leaping off of that cliff. Rom 8:4-12 points to the fact that the born again saints can and do comply with...

depends on context. Uses it in a verse of actual scripture. Rom 2:13 "it is not the HEARERS of the LAW that are just before God - but the DOERS of the LAW will be JUSTIFIED" Where Justification is a distinct GOSPEL concept. As the Baptist Confession of Faith sectn 19 and the Westminster...

Rom 8:4-12 points to the fact that the born again saints can and do comply with God's Word while the one that is not born again "does not submit to the Law of God - NEITHER INDEED CAN they" You have free will - and can choose to identify with whatever group you wish. Rom 8: 4 so that the...

BobRyan said: 1. When I use the term "included in the moral law" it is not the same as your 'the only thing in the moral law". You realize that right? 2. The Eph 6:2 statement by contrast only works with the Ten. Thank you for that example of ignoring every scripture referenced in the post and...

I was not intending to correct you -- I think you make a good point that Abraham is the father of both the Jews and the gentiles according to Rom 4. 9 Is this blessing then on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say, “Faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness.” 10 How...

Thanks - nice to see you posting here. Excellent point. I missed that --

indeed - that is false Which you should bring yourself to respond to if you want to make a point there. typical ad hominem when your argument fails?... again? Until we read the actual Bible. Deut 5;22 "He spoke the Ten and added no more". Eph 6:2 only the TEN are written such that "Honor...
