Is military service sinful?

[trophy33]

Touchy huh? That sure sounds impressive. More than me. I've never been to seminary or anything like that, I'm just a guy. And I believe the scriptures are true and that God is not the author of confusion. So I don't believe that we have to over-complicate it.

You wont even listen to this man to examine the data for yourself and then make specific rebuttles if you want, but alas, you sound like you are scared to watch a different teaching. Why? Do you fear that it wil destroy your world view so run from it. Lol! That's not how you do it. You set aside preconceived notions, study the material and then keep the good and throw out the trash because no one is right all the time, or about everything.

The Hly Spirit's job is to lead us into all truth. So why is (supposedly) leading me so far away from the truth and not you?

I would tell you about the times that the Lord pinged my spirit (quicken) to let me know that what I was watching is truth, but I wont because then you'd ask for the scripture on that one, lol. It is in there but maybe not your bible!

Its interesting you are asking about my age, while you use "lols", various red herrings, speculations, "you are scared" tactics, illogical thought chains etc.

But they were in the land when Jesus was talking to them.

Yep. And there's no prophecy, no types & shadows or anything like that, right?

 

[trophy33]

I think so. I can't think of any verses where the refrence to a fig tree means something else but Israel.

Can you give me an example where scripture mentions a fig tree and it is not referring to Israel? Maybe I missed one.

My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.

Well we've been talking for awhile now and I can't help but to get impressions from you from how you talk and what you say.

Do you read your Bible?
Ever read it cover to cover?

How do you read the bible, or do you? There is (as as I can tell!) 3 ways to read the bible. #1. Carnally, which means logically and the mind. #2 is we grasp the bilical principle that is being spoken of. And #3 is the spiritual message behind it.

I thik it may be possible that even if you do read scripture that you read it carnally only. You havent been able to "get it" about anything that I've posted. If I am wrong then you should be able to debunk it with the data and better questions.

I'm investagating you by asking do you read the bible?! Be honest now, you think I'm an evil genius trying to corrupt the doctrines of God?

Nah, that's not me. I'm the guy who wont compromise with the gays and cheer for them. No they can't come in my house. I suppose that's wrong too? Lol.

Wow, you did recoil from that questions about reading. And even so, no answer bout it!

Ok. I agree to disagree with you and wish you a pleasant day.

Is it in bad taste to ask someone on a Christian Forum if they are a Christian?

Too personal for you? That's an answer too.

I couldn't find the scripture about Go thee and be a dispensationalist. Do you have a scripture for that?

I'm sorry man, I'm joking. But that's how some of your questions make me feel.

No, I do not have a scripture for that, thats why I do not say anything like that.

Do you have a scripture about regathering of Israel in the 20th century having any significance for theology?

But how many Jews have to be gatered to Israel? 2? 3? half?

Same thing. Have a good day bro!

Yes, we can find how you define gathering (and why you chose the year 1948, considering there were many Jews in land before this year and many came after this year), but first, it would be more useful to find out if you have an explicit verse in which Jesus says He is talking about some 2,000 years distant era (or some future regathering of Israel), when he mentioned the fig tree.

No, but I know that Americans frequently need some subjective personal/anectodal info, personal experience, story, emotion/feeling, sharing to be able to focus on some objective and simple topic. Its very annoying though, mainly in the written conversation or literature.

 

[trophy33]

So you're not a Christian.

Your logic and speculations are exercised really poorly.

And you can't watch a 45 minute video because your attention span isn't that long?

Lol. You don't have to if you dont want to.

Easier just to get a quick summery. Is this what you had in mind?

Barrenness and Judgment: In the Gospel of Luke (Luke 13:6-9), Jesus tells a parable about a barren fig tree. The owner of the vineyard wants to cut it down because it hasn't borne fruit. The fig tree in this parable can be seen as representing Israel, and the lack of fruit symbolizes the spiritual barrenness or unfaithfulness of the people. The parable emphasizes the call for repentance and the potential consequences of spiritual fruitlessness.

Paul talks about a tree where branches are cut off and healthy branches are grafted in.
