an unfortunate reality when you teach that God is done with Israel and has switched His plan to the Church and Israel is cut off. When you no longer see a future salvation of a remnant of the Jews, and believe that they are forsaken by God, then you see them as nothing but "Christkillers" and...

no. it is correct to go with as I believe you said earlier "all Israel is not Israel" (paraphrasing Romans 9:6) It is a Remnant that is saved. BUT it is wrong to claim that the gentile church, IS that Remnant of Israel There's a Remnant of genetic descendants of Abraham that are elect and will...

the alternative is that Adam made an informed decision, but made a bad value judgement. Valuing his wife over God. and while I am speculating... so are you. Because the bible does not say Adam was deceived (and in fact the results point that Adam was not deceived or ignorant, the 2 options...

If the goal was to teach, then that is a very poor teacher. a child learns not to touch a stove after touching one and burning their hand perhaps but a child does not learn not to play with a gun by shooting themselves. Mind you before the deed was done, there was no promise of redemption, no...

God wouldn't be fair if He gave them a consequence they couldn't understand for an action. Like with a child if you tell them not to play in the street because a car might hit them and they might die they don't understand death and thus the consequence is meaningless to them and they don't know...

God gave Eve the honor though, and that it would be through a woman alone, without a male human father. She was punished for doing wrong, but the main blame for the curse on the world, and death entering the world, was laid on Adam. Not Eve. The scripture never refers to it as Eve's sin...

it's speculation that fits the facts, the facts being that Adam's punishment was harsher, and Messiah would not come through him but Eve, the sin was laid on Adam not Eve, and God in His wisdom before the fall created marriage, then after the fall, in the New Testament, God is abolishing...

If that was the case, why was God to a degree, more lenient on Eve? There was a curse, but also a promise of redemption. Adam just got cursed. It's Adam's sin not Eve's sin. I think Adam was aware and made the choice anyway. it makes a lot more things make sense, like the end of marriage -...

but the serpent argued against it and Eve believed the serpent. what I'm saying is Adam believed God not the serpent, Adam didn't have his mind changed. Adam knew he would die and chose die with his wife, rather than live with God without his wife. That changes the calculus dramatically. If...

I see Hamas as clearly the bad guys that are going against God and God's plan. I see the IDF as bad guys with a predictable future redemption arc. But in the case of a firefight and accidental killing of a journalist, I perceive that as an accident.

yes branches broken back off but Paul goes into how branches will be grafted back in. That's what I keep harping about, a promise of an eschatological repentance and salvation of a remnant of Israel that initially rejected Jesus. as Zechariah 12 goes into it, it's people who are of the house of...

Assuming everything is a symbol is a mistake. Revelation explains symbols when things are symbols. Angels come by and explain this means this, this means that, and Jesus Himself explains the symbols of chapter 1. On top of that it's loaded in old testament references in which case the symbols...

so much wrong in this post. God does chastise Israel for disobedience according to Deuteronomy 28, but there is a promised regathering into their own land, and eschatological salvation - a remnant turns to Christ. You're basically declaring that Paul was just "hoping" but that his claims that...

the first part of Revelation 7 has 144,000, 12,000 of each of the tribes of Israel marked by God, the tribes of Dan and Ephraim were replaced by Levi and Joseph (the father of Ephraim, originally Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph were tribes). Dan and Ephraim were cut off for Idolatry...

if she's mixed in with Palestinian terrorists, accidents happen, are you thinking the IDF is checking ID on everyone before shooting in a firefight? Alright! Stop! Everyone, ID's out, we need to see which are terrorists and which are journalists! it's life and death situations and sometimes...
