    Where does the bible talk about the US?

    (SwampFox) If it makes you feel better to present yourself as the authorative source on the Bible, then so be it. I don't think I've done that. I'm just trying to help others by encouraging them to read the Word in context. And in this case, we can put it up beside history and see the amazing...

    Where does the bible talk about the US?

    I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one, too. I could go on and on but don't think anything I say would convince you to publicly admit you might not be right in your eisegesis. It really is OK to admit you're wrong sometimes.I hope you're not offended by my constructive...

    Where does the bible talk about the US?

    Damascus fell to Nebuchadnezzar in 572 B.C., just as Jeremiah prophesied. The Babylonians maintained rule over the city until 538 B.C.Shalom,

    Where does the bible talk about the US?

    I say to you with love, one word... context. I recommend reading the rest of the chapter and the surrounding chapters to understand this verse in its context.Ref. v. 28, verse 31 is in reference to Kedar. Wesley says in his commentary of Kedar, "Kedar - Was one of the sons of Ishmael, whose...

    Thankfully the eternal destination of Judas is not a bedrock issue. :angel9:

    Validity of the gnostic texts?

    (SwampFox) It's widely accepted as a false teaching as well. I'm strongly against calling Judas the Son of Perdition because it's used to falsely teach the pretribulation rapture theory in many cases. The Son of Perdition is the one who is condemned and the only one who is assured to the pit is...

    Validity of the gnostic texts?

    Shalom Swampfox. :shepard: It is widely accepted within Christendom that the "son of perdition" in this context is indeed a reference to Judas. I don't think it's possible that Judas was ever saved for if he had saving faith, Satan would not have been able to "enter" him in the first place...

    The final authority?

    2 Cor. 1:12 — "For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward."I am very wary about what the fleshly mind authorizes...

    Validity of the gnostic texts?

    Judas was lost. He's described as the "son of perdition" by Jesus in John 17:12... While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. He also described...

    Validity of the gnostic texts?

    One word = INVALID.Irenaeus denounced it as heresy ca. A.D. 180 in his anti-gnostic Adversus Haereses. See here, section 1 of chapter 31 on the Doctrines of the gnostic sect called the Cainites.
