    The Man of Sin identified

    You have gotten way off track. To start with, you seemed to be working it out in your mind, but then veered off. Your start was that the one "man of sin" was actually many...and rightly so, as the children of Adam after his sin were and are many, but stated as if "one man" with regard to all...

    A Disciplined Probabilistic Approach to Biblical Hermeneutics

    You refer to the bigger issue. Excellent! What you are referring to is the need to "reconcile" all that is written-- which of course must be. After all, God does not disagree or contradict Himself. And yet people do in the handling of His word and fail. Still there is an even bigger issue...

    A Disciplined Probabilistic Approach to Biblical Hermeneutics

    Fancy. Perhaps legal--or illegal. I mean you've brought a gun to a knife fight...violating, well, surely it violates something you just stated. The scriptures "are spiritually discerned." But hey, welcome, and all the best to you in your approach!

    Let's dispense of souls being converted and saved, but not lives, shall we?

    Again you show your misunderstanding of the actual circumstances. But don't misunderstand me saying so. Your saying so is enough that I don't need to say anything unless I care to share with you the actual truth, which I do. Now, it is clear just how you view things, that the flesh is to be...

    Godly Sorrow.

    First-- it should be noted, that this insight is yours..from God. Thank you! As for any relative connection by likeness, yes, there is a likeness. This is the godly sorrow of a parent who is tasked to correct and discipline a child, which hurts the parent "more than" the child. Paul then in 2...

    Do you believe that ALL babies that die go to Heaven or only "the elect"?

    That is NOT what is written...and it is you who has made "revision": 3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his...

    2,000 Years of Believing a "Lie" Does Not Make it True.

    Apparently I need to tread carefully here because so many have become endeared to those "false teachings"--which I should not need to be concerned with for they were foretold. The question then becomes: Now that the church has been led astray, will she also be lead "unto all truth" just as it...

    Christ's sinless Head with a sinful body?

    No, but your off topic meddling and your need to assume an upper hand where you have none, speaks of you rather than me. God knows.

    Christ's sinless Head with a sinful body?

    But other than some need for you to attempt to catch me in some error or for one-up-man-ship, what is your point?--because that was not what was being discussed. I was answering the question of, "How can anyone be saved without hearing Jesus' gospel?"...and I gave the correct answer--that all...

    Christ's sinless Head with a sinful body?

    It is not that they alone "lacked", but what all lacked-- which is Christ and salvation that was attained for all who believe (whether in His coming before or after) at the cross.

    Christ's sinless Head with a sinful body?

    Unlike the times and the timeline kept by men and this world, the things of God (including salvation) are "the same yesterday, today, and forever." In other words, all who are "in Christ" before and after the cross, "were" crucified with Him, and therefore saved.

    Christ's sinless Head with a sinful body?

    Perhaps you misunderstood me. What God has joined together in Christ (those before salvation came who believed in the promise of Messiah, and those after) I have rightly also joined--which is to say both those before and those after "were" crucified with Christ, and yes, thereby and therefore...

    Christ's sinless Head with a sinful body?

    Why do you presume the need to correct me (again) when I have named all who are in Christ, both the dead and the living? If you wish to elaborate or clarify points you see as important--please do. But when you begin "with all respect" it would seem you are addressing error as if I left some...

    2,000 Years of Believing a "Lie" Does Not Make it True.

    Peter told us, that because "there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction." 2 Peter 2:1 Paul told us, that "The...

    Christ's sinless Head with a sinful body?

    Thank you for your input. You speak of the first who would be last, for those who received the promise did not receive it in life as was made available to the gentiles, but only received it in death. These are "the dead in Christ."

    Inconsistency of Christians never being sinless

    Though you mock and assume to take the upper hand, how is it that you do not know that these times are to be spoken by the Holy Spirit and that the bride is to otherwise be silent in church? As for what was unlawful for a man to utter, that time has passed.

    Christ's sinless Head with a sinful body?

    I have not preached "repenting and being saved after the grave." Wrong from the first sentence.

    Christ's sinless Head with a sinful body?

    That is a start. But do you expect to do His will according to your own understanding and making claims about of God based on the things of men and this world? You can't. But as it is written, "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth." That is--if you...
