I am not an expert on escatology but I still find it very difficult to believe that the angels lied to us when they said Jesus would be coming back like he left. Publically. Hold on Paul lied as well to the the coming. Wait John lied to in Revelation. To post the thought that Christ is not...

Sorry mjwhite we are going to have to do this another time. I am in the process of moving and all of my resources are packed up. Still I will leave you with a final thought. If Christ did not die for all then why does Peter write that the false teachers spurn the blood which was shed for...

I think Louis just made the quote of the year. I want to borrow that for my delivery class this sememster. It also pens a strong truth. If it breaks down it is not of God. The fact also since you insist on using a questionable verse is that if one does not believe he will be damned. That...

The best way I have heard the temptation put was that Jesus being both divine and human at the same time had a human nature that could sin. This being said that human nature did not sin. The issue I am seeing after starting this thread is that the apostle's Peter and Paul wrote Jesus did not...

Let's look at this. God condemns because of sin. Agreed God sent Jesus to pay for those who call. Agreed God knows all things. Agreed People who never hear of Christ die and go to Hell. Agreed If God did no provide a way for all men with the cross then justice is not served. To be just...

I have a definitiative statement. Can you use any scripture to so aritculate your point other than Mark's Commission? Why I bring this up is because this is not in the best manuscripts and is in most situations not consider to be part of the original text. When the text is suspect we must...

No I do not believe in it as limiting God. As I have said this view has some gapping holes in it. Does God know everything? Yes. Does God control what is going to happen in every circumstance? That is a point with which scripture is unclear. Does God decree every event from beginning to...

I have a question. What language was the New Testament written in? Here's one thought Greek. Why? Because only 3 books in the New Testament were written for a Jewish audience who by the way could speak Greek as evident from it permeation into the culture of its day. Or another view is that...

Julie Please explain yourself. Are you commenting on Mcfly1960's answer to my post. I am not as interested in the quote I understand that, but to whom is it directed.

I am going to assume that my answer is confusing. This might be a better way of explaining it. When a guy and a girl get engaged they know they are each others. They know that no other person is going to be with the other one. Still they cannot take part in all the things of marriage yet...

I would like to add Jesus commentary on the end of times. Look in Matthew 24:29-35. Note that this generation could refer to the age that sees the events given before. These events could be symbolized by the fig tree. The key emphasis is that after the tribulation shall the signs be...

I love the use of context in John 12:19. The fact that a I made a mistake in assumption is evident. Let me clarify. When the Bible speaks on a theological basis and not quoting a man who speaks in generallities it takes on the concept of the universal scope. When it speaks in a general...

I believe I am seeing your point. Could you please post a method to harmonize the two points as you see them. Or do you believe it is one or the other depending on the method of interpretation.

SnuP I think you are on to a very interesting idea. As my signature says somethings we just aren't going to know. Wouldn't you agree?

 

I must ask a simple question. When did we learn how to pronounce the name Yahweh again? The fact that it was missing for more than 2000 years makes it very difficult for anyone to call upon it. The very fact that the rabbi had lost the pronounciation leads one to think that we may still have...

I have a simple idea. Let's look at John 3:16. The key word is world. This word cannot mean the elect. This word is used in the whole Bible as meaning universal. That means that Christ was sent to die for the whole world. There is no sound exegetical study that can dispute this fact based...

May I ask simple question? Please give me some reason to support a pre or mid-trib rapture. There must be a literal not interpretive scripture to support this idea. Let us understand that in none of the major eschotological discourses done by anyone tells of a secret coming of Christ for the...

I tend to like your post. This view is one that has developed in an effort to confront Calvinism. I am not a Calvinist, and I see some version of your view with Good Points. I still believe though that this view has some major flaws in it. If you will post back with some books that I...
