We really CAN'T answer some of these

[Willie T]

Why not?

ROTFL, yep, you are definitely steeped in your doctrine. LOL

 

[Dave L]

You would LOVE that full book. It shows how neither side can just say "Yes" or "No" to any of the questions.

Here's a link to the PDF.

I don't understand your comment so I asked "why not" hoping for a more clear response.

Because they have nothing to do with one another.

 

[Willie T]

Im going to read it for sure.

Want me to send it to you, or is the PDF version online good enough?

 

[Kermos]

Could you quote a reference for your definition here, ty
ntmy btw

For aionios/eternal, please see Strong's Greek: 166. αἰώνιος (aiónios) -- agelong, eternal then scroll down to "HELPS Word-studies" then about three quarters through the paragraph...

Study Gary North the author. And "Christian Reconstruction-ism" These people are way off their rockers. But most of the questions I can answer confidently.

Could you perhaps give an example or two to support your claim?

 

[Anthony D'Arienzo]

But he is a leader of the Christian Recontructionist/ Dominion Theology Movement which has no Biblical basis like I said. The fact that he is married to the daughter of Rushdoony only shows how far in that Movement he is.
They believe Christ will not come back until the world is under God's law according to the Bible. That is not what the Bible teaches, it's the exact opposite actually.

What do you think that they teach? What verses do they use?
Can you tell us which of their books you have examined?

 

[Dave L]

Jesus said his followers did not fight because his kingdom is not of this world. All millennial theories contradict Jesus and end in a blood bath ultimately. Making his kingdom of this world where his followers fight. "Christian Reconstructionism" is a violent form of Postmillennialism. Search it out on the net for details.

 

[Willie T]

One answer would be that they actually believe we are to obey God's laws. (How dare they!?!?!?!?)

 

[Anthony D'Arienzo]

I hardly think Jesus is handing out justice and judgement in this present world. Kind of assuming He will be ruling in a perfect manner. How can you think He is already ruling in this world? It's a horrible world because it is still run by men. IMHO. ♥

Jesus rules in the midst of His enemies right now. Psalm110, Hebrews 12:25-29

I do not agree with everything they say, but they are more right than wrong.

 

[bbyrd009]

Both groups are saved by grace the same way. The free willers are confused though, thinking their choice saved them. But their choice stemmed from their believing (proof of salvation), or they would not have chosen to believe, as redundant as it might be.

ok

He did say Kingdom authority was not found on earth, because it homes from Heaven Hebrews12:18-29

Acts 26:28 kind of seems to twist the road a little for your simple path.

Acts 26:28 King James Version (KJV)
28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

Why would Paul be trying to "persuade" people the way he did if they were already predestined to either believe, or not to believe?

Ha, pretty sure the joke there is involved in the understanding of what "Christian" meant back then, unlike now...or like now again, whatever, "a literal descendant of David on a literal throne"

 

[Willie T]

IT IS MY STRONG BELIEF THAT IF THE "SITE" YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO USE TO JUDGE WHAT OTHERS BELIEVE, SAYS:
"This is what they believe.", instead of, "This is what we believe."...…. then there is a 100% chance you are on the wrong site.

 

[tzcho2]

And the CR's can, just as directly as Dispensationalists do, point to Scriptures that hold their doctrine just as well. As I have said on here many times before, the Bible seems to be written so that people reading it will find the particular, and specific, God they are looking for. Preconceived expectations produce our anticipated results.

All the while, each one is screaming at the other, "There is only ONE Truth... and I have found it!...… NOT YOU!... or THEM, or anyone else!"

Ah, but no one screaming at anyone but yourself in that bolded mischaracterization in your quote. I notice also the subtle attack the Holy authorship of the word of God saying it "seems to be written so that people reading it will find....the god they are looking for."
Obviously , you hold to your own spiritual beliefs outside of the Bible scripture since you've basically said you don't believe it was written By GOD through men to REVEAL GOD'S TRUTH to humanity. That opinion is not far from the "many paths to heaven" belief.

The truth is , the Dominionists are believing that They themselves will build God's kingdom, not Christ as the Bible states and that same ungodly idea that any other being will build heaven on earth is as old as the earth. Interesting that the dominionists have something in common with these others -the tower of babel, the globalists, utopians,the wiccans, pagans, occultists, new agers and Satanists all believe they will make their idyllic kingdom happen.
The Dominionists have no Bible scripture that says Christians are to build the Kingdom before Christ appears and they deny the all the future endtimes prophecies yet to be fulfilled in the scriptures that contradicts their beliefs.
The second coming of the Lord Jesus -
Revelation 19:11-16, “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 makes war. 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. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes 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. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”
