    Resignatio ad Infernum- Willingness to be Damned

    Indeed. Jesus rebuked Peter for his blustering (though sincere) assertion in Matthew 26:33 that “Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away.” And Peter wept bitterly when the denials occurred. He who thinks he stands best beware lest he fall. (1 Cor 10:12) We need to...

    The amazing prophetic foresight of the Jews

    For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem? (Mic 1:5) John 19:15 Yes? Hitler is prophesying that he a war started by international...

    I am a descendant of Shem. Now do you have a reference?

    Still waiting for that reference, how's it coming along?

    The amazing prophetic foresight of the Jews

    It's the gift that keeps on giving. Little wonder the chief rabbi of Czecheslovakia crowed in around 1938 that Hitler was 'the Jewish Messiah'. More amazing prophecy.

    Biblical precedents for the lake of fire

    Well, bless you for coming along, and may I attempt to un-snag your concern, my friend. Revelation 21:24-26 teaches that the nations and kings of the earth have repented of their traditional enmity towards God. Further, the Pearly Gates stand ever-open. And the leaves of the tree of life are...

    The "If it's true it doesn't matter." claim about UR.

    And with God, we can be assured that, whatever the surprise, the result will be infinitely better than we imagine.

    Biblical precedents for the lake of fire

    Are you snagging on the concept of the 'second death'? Keep in mind that death is used as a positive spiritual metaphor in many scriptures eg blessed are the dead who die in Christ; die to self, live to Christ; lest a grain of wheat fall to the ground and die, etc etc. Paul died daily...

    Biblical precedents for the lake of fire

    Lol, would it make you happier if I use 'experience' instead of 'vision'? (Sounds like San Fran in the 60's). Or do they need to return grasping the Shroud of Turin as proof positive that it was something more than dreams and visions?

    The amazing prophetic foresight of the Jews

    Take the Transfer Agreement, for example. That's the deal between the National Socialists and the Jews which continued from 1933 until the outbreak of hostilities, about which it's been said that 'Hitler built Israel'. He helped them emigrate and gave them full value in German goods for their...

    Christians should attend synagogues to show solidarity with Jews?

    He ignored the warnings, because he was blinded by his zeal to convert his Jewish brethren. For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: (Rom 9:3 et seq) It got all the way to the 7th day before the riot occurred. Paul was plainly...

    Biblical precedents for the lake of fire

    Scratch my last reply. Are you saying that a vision can't be physical, it must be purely spiritual? I'd probably agree with that. But I don't know if Peter offering to build tabernacles necessarily meant that the apparitions on the mountain were incarnate. Consider altars and idols, they are...

    Christians should attend synagogues to show solidarity with Jews?

    What scripture do you say supports the claim he had foreknowledge and expectation of his arrest and/or transportation to Rome? So it would have been okay for him to partake in animal sacrifices with the Jews at the end of the week? Did I say or suggest that God condemned him? God rescued him...

    Biblical precedents for the lake of fire

    Interesting, but seems to me ultimately a distinction without a difference. Or it depends on one's definition of a 'vision', does it exclude spiritual transportation? Or perhaps he was transported in spirit and had a vision. Like Isaiah 6 in the throne room. Are there any scriptural examples of...

    The amazing prophetic foresight of the Jews

    So Hitler also had the gift of prophecy? Praise the Lord! Do you have a citation please? I wonder if he also foresaw that terminal event, do we have any indications? Perhaps in a 'wish you were here' postcard to Rudolf Hess?

    Biblical precedents for the lake of fire

    Thanks for the thoughtful comment. Is this saying of Paul's relevant here, that fire will test the quality of each man's work, and though it be burnt up (as wood hay and stubble), he will nevertheless be 'saved, as though through fire.' (1 Cor 3:14-15)? Isn't the 'work' he's speaking of our...

    The amazing prophetic foresight of the Jews

    But surely they didn't do any kind of deals with Hitler to transfer Jewish wealth and people from Germany to the Promised Land? That would be too much.

    Is the Earth Flat?

    There were 2 MMX's, in 1881 and 1887. The former can be found here: https://physics.ucf.edu/~rep/EDI/michelson.pdf. I can't readily locate a full version of the latter online at the moment, only page 1 and the citation:On the relative motion of the Earth and the luminiferous ether Can you locate...

    Christians should attend synagogues to show solidarity with Jews?

    Perhaps an easier example for you to follow would be Paul in Galatians, when he first goes up to Jerusalem and rebukes the Judaisers as 'false brethren secretly brought in (who came in by stealth to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage),' (Gal...
