Did Calvin admit that double predestination was unbiblical?I think Calvin agreed that his views on double predestination were a "Dreadful decree".
I stand corrected.
I am ALWAYS willing to be corrected by Scripture.
Jim
Uh, no. You're not "always". You have repeatedly claimed that Jesus "NAMED" various "kingdoms of heaven" when Jesus actually mentioned ONLY "the kingdom of heaven". There's 1, but you fantasize there are 5. And that without any Scripture that supports your claim.
And this will be the last time I have to correct your error.This will be the LAST TIME I speak to you on this issue.
Look in a mirror when you say this.The Bible PROMISED that you would not be able to understand
[Daniel 12:8-10]. So your inability to understand this Biblical Truth
does not negate the Truth, it only confirms what the Bible promised.
Let me explain this AGAIN, ok?The five "Kingdoms of Heaven" could not be ONE Kingdom
since the 5th Kingdom is Eternal and contains ONLY the Saints
from each previous (temporal) Kingdom. All previous Kingdoms
had both saved and unsaved people.
Nope. Just a different time frame. God didn't create "different worlds".(1) The Pre-Flood Kingdom was a different world,
Wow, you just really like to fantasize about so many "different" things: kingdoms, classes of people, and even Gospels.containing a different class of people and different Gospel.
Nope. The Jews lived in the SAME WORLD as everyone else.(2) The Jewish Kingdom was a different world,
If true, it should be easy for you to cite any verse/passage in the OT to prove your claim of the Jews having a "different gospel".containing a different class of people and different Gospel.
Well, now you're on to something. Yes, each of these people groups are from different time periods. Glad to see you noticed.(3) The Christian Kingdom was a different time period,
2 Tim 3:15 proves you dead wrong.containing a different class of people and different Gospel.
Now you're cooking!(4) The Great Tribulation Kingdom was a different time period,
You've proved nothing.containing a different class of people and different Gospel.[/QJOTE]
OK, if true, it should be easy to cite any verse/passage that declares this "different gospel".
[QUTOE](5) The Eternal "Kingdom of Heaven" is eternal,
containing all the Saints from the previous four Kingdoms.
You are just hilarious, Jim. There is just the gospel of Jesus Christ, known in the OT as the Messiah, and as Christ in the NT.I understand this Biblical Truth immediately and completely
destroys your current "gospel".
Your website about "5 kingdoms" is all alone on the web. No one agrees with your theories.
How come your "5 kingdoms" website is the ONLY ONE on the web then? Do you speak for all those who agree with you?BTW, I am not the only "wise virgins" left on earth.
From 1 Cor 15, Paul was referring to the rapture when Jesus returns to earth at the 2nd Advent. All believers alive on earth at that time will certainly be changed in the twinkling of an eye, as Paul said.There is a small remnant of us who will be "changed"
in the "twinkling of an eye" in the near future...
And what sign is this? I'll bet you will deflect, as always, and not even reveal your view about it.meaning months, not years. No, I have no idea of
the "day and hour" of His Return, but I do know that
the last "sign" before His Return has been fulfilled.

Jesus won't return until the 7 year Tribulation is OVER. In fact, it is His return that ends the Tribulation.
And those familiar with the Bible know that.
Well, you're the special one, huh.The website is the ONLY ONE because if fulfills Daniel 12:8-10.
OK. Where are their names in your website? Why aren't there? By "all the wise virgins", are you saying that there are only 10 of you?It is a collaborative effort between ALL the "wise virgins" still
alive.
Your "understanding" of Scripture is amazingly inadequate. The wise and foolish virgins were in a parable. Jesus wasn't speaking of real people.So you do not disagree with me that the Last Saints
(called the "wise virgins" in Matthew 25) will be "changed"
at the time of the resurrection. I am glad to see that, after all
this time, we can agree on at least one thing.
I've been directly honest with you.Please be more honest when talking with me.
I got no "link" other than your own website.I could not "deflect" from this issue when I sent you a link
that answers the question in the last post.
I do what the Bereans did with Paul's preaching. I search the Scriptures daily to see if what Paul/Jim/whoever says is true.If you are not willing
to READ my answer that does not mean I am "deflecting" it only
means you are not looking for truth, but only looking to attack.
That is YOUR problem, not mine.
Again, you are woefully lacking in understanding. What ENDS the Trib is the return of Jesus. Anyone familiar with the Bible knows that.It is NOT TRUE that Jesus returns at the end of the Tribulation...
there is a brief period of time on earth AFTER the destruction of
the Revelation Beast (at the END of the 2nd Woe/Sixth Trumpet)
and the sounding of the Seventh Trumpet, (and beginning of the
3rd (eternal) Woe).
You just keep embarrassing yourself with all these extremely erroneous claims.Secondly, the Great Tribulation is NOT seven years.
Both numbers of days (1290 and 1335) refers to the last half of the Tribulation, give or take a few days.That "theory" can not possibly be correct because it contradicts
MANY Scriptures and was developed during a time when the Bible
PROMISED the Truth would be "closed-up" and "sealed". So to argue that "theory" is correct is to argue that Daniel 12:8-10 is a lie.

Revelation 11:14 shows that. The "Season and Time" [Dan 7:11-12]
shows that. The time BETWEEN Rev 19:20 and 20:10 shows that
and there are several (about a half-dozen Scriptures) that show
that. If you want to learn more Biblical Truth about this issue
you are can read chapters 1.2 and 1.3 on the link below:

The Great Tribulation Kingdom and the Revelation Beast(s) and
Daniel's Fourth Kingdom/Beast last for a period of 3.5
"times/days/years/watches of the night". You can
learn the details of this time on the link below:
https://www.5thkingdomofheaven.com/chapter-8
Since the Bible PROMISES that the truth about this subject
remains "closed-up" and "sealed" until the "time-of-the-end"
[Daniel 12:8-10], which is also shown as the "Season and Time"
we can know that (and I quote you) "those familiar with the Bible..."
could NEVER know the Truth on this issue because their "theories"
were developed during a time when the BIBLE PROMISED that
the Truth would be "sealed". It is really as simple as that.

I do what the Bereans did with Paul's preaching. I search the Scriptures daily to see if what Paul/Jim/whoever says is true.
And this is what I have found: NONE of what you have posted is found in Scripture. Your "understanding" of Scripture is woefully lacking.
Again, you are woefully lacking in understanding. What ENDS the Trib is the return of Jesus. Anyone familiar with the Bible knows that.
Rev 19 describes the "Rider coming on a white horse". That's King Jesus.
11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war.
12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself.
13He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.
14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.
16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God,
18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, great and small.”
19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army.
20But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
21 The rest were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
You have been refuted AND checkmated. You have no out. This chapter destroys your fallacies.
You just keep embarrassing yourself with all these extremely erroneous claims.
Both numbers of days (1290 and 1335) refers to the last half of the Tribulation, give or take a few days.
So,each half is 3.5 years. Do the math. Adds up to 7 years.
The reason I asked was that it seemed as if he didn't agree with double predestination.I'm not sure if you're trying to say if he thought it was unbiblical. He was a very early protestant, so everything he did had to be extremely well justified from both scripture and history. The Catholics would have destroyed him otherwise. Like I said, I just read one paragraph in that article. But it is very hard for me to imagine him going against scripture.
No, I'm not angry at all. And what excuse am I looking for?Seriously, though. You're just angry and looking at scripture as an excuse.

I am pointing out to 5kingdoms that his view cannot be proven from Scripture and his website is the only one on the web. That speaks volumes.
He won't even say who agrees with him, or how many of the extensive list of scholars he sent his website to disagree with him.
Transparent, he is not.
Seriously, though. You're just angry and looking at scripture as an excuse.
All you do is quote chosen sentences from the bible that seem to agree with your preconceived whatever-it-is you have going on. There are other passages too. And if you care to dig deeper into that, you can look into the Greek and see the translators can only translate so much. And if you dig even deeper, you question why people hundreds of years after Christ added books to the bible that weren't even written by the apostles.
So,each half is 3.5 years. Do the math. Adds up to 7 years.
(1) First, as it says in the first paragraph of the first chapter of the website,
the ONLY measure of Biblical Truth is harmony of ALL RELATED Scripture.
It is in Chapter 1.1
https://www.5thkingdomofheaven.com/chapter-1
(2) Secondly, if you care to read further, in Chapter 1.2 the "Season and Time" is revealed.
This is the same period that Daniel 12:8-10 calls the "time of the end" and the same time
between Revelation 19:20 and 20:10 and the same time between the end of the 2nd Woe
and start of the 3rd Woe in Revelation 11:14.
(3) Thirdly, if you care to read further, in Chapter 1.3 you will see five (5) examples of Scriptures
talking about this "Season and Time" or "time-of-the-end" and the "Final Harvest" of the
Last Saints on earth (called the "wise virgins" in Matthew 25:1-13) just before the destruction
of the Revelation Beast.
(4) Finally, if you think you have ONE VERSE of Scripture that contradicts anything on the site,
or anything I have said on this forum... you only need to offer that Scripture for analysis.
To simply say I do not harmonize all related passages - is to say nothing at all.
Do you want to offer an "example"?
