Hey! A fellow Amil person! I don't mention it most times because I can hear the gasps even online a continent away! I haven't had time to read hardly any of this thread, I'm sorry, so I'm not sure I can make much of contribution here....but I would probably say... Firstly...I'm not real sure...

Rules, schmools....! As long as you are faithful towards the bible, and the guiding of the Holy Spirit on your conscience in responce to the word....everything else is just behaviour in response to your salvation, not an earning or keeping of it! We behave like Christ because we get to....not...

2 Corinthians 5:21: "For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God"......Love this verse!

But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:12-13 ESV) Yes, I believe this does cover what is 'needed'. We must 'receive him' and...

Yes, in the first 5 verses of chapter 9 we see Paul mourning for all his 'brothers of the flesh'. How could he not?? These people had been blessed because of God's promises to the Patriarch's. God had raised up leader after leader within this people, his purpose to bring about the birth of the...

Um....I'm sorry if this has been said before...I haven't had the time to read the whole thread...but... Doesnt 'Predestination' just mean that God determined beforehand? In which case, we'd say that God, before the world began, had already decided that his will and purposes for mankind would...

Clearly there is disagreement over this issue. And disagreement, with mature, biblical discussion, can be edifying...for both sides, regardless of "who's backing the right take on scripture". I'm not seeing a whole lot of mature disagreement, only a lot of "you're wrong, I'm right, therefore...

^_^ I'm not offended...no one forced me to read the whole thing....which I confess I didn't! I simply don't have the time to spend on such lengthly posts. I'm just trying to offer some tips for better back and forths on the board....not many people here will read something that long, which will...

I'm sorry, but no one is going to read a post that long. I imagine congratulations are in order for composing something of that length, but if you're truly intent of getting your point across, you need to half, or even quarter your post.

Well...then the question must be asked... that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to...

I think that we see throughout the gospels, that the Disciples really didn't have a good grasp on what Jesus was bringing. All the Jews had the understanding that when the Descendant of David showed up, he would actually overthrow the Romans and set up his Kingdom of Israel and be undefeatable...

You know... a lot can be said on the subject...calvinistic views, arminian views. We can even quote scriptures on the topic...because scripture does indeed talk about this. But I think when it all comes down to it, we need to step back and consider two things: God is the only one who knows the...

So...to once again clarify....are you saying that Protestants are NOT saved, as we are not part of the RCC?

Thank you for your apology, although you do confuse me. You claim to have extra-biblical knowledge pertaining to all of God's teaching and the end times in particular, but then you claim you don't speak on behalf of my family. If you speak from God, you speak to all. Man, if you knew how hard...

You know...I've never claimed to be fluent in Greek....or to be a mouthpiece of God....or to be able to research infalibly. You would note that I said "and it seems to me".... You, however, are claiming to be one God has sent directly to us, that we may sit at your feet in learning....big...
