Absolutely. As if us either of us haven't... :) Not in so many words, no, but that matters not; it is what it is. "Still a man hears what he wants to hear (sees what he wants to see) and disregards the rest..." ("The Boxer," Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, 1968) Grace and peace to you.

I think it's just that his facts don't correspond to your "facts," Keiw. By the way, you just cited a Scripture (John 4:22-24) that clearly insinuates the eternal existence of the third Person of the triune Jehovah... Grace and peace to you.

Well, that's good... :) But your understandings are very JW-esque. :) But yes, I'm well aware of the fact that JWs are not the only ones who deny that Jesus was God in the flesh. Well, the issue, Rich, is what Their "proper positions" really are. If those positions are misconstrued, then it...

Those are not facts at all. Revelation 20 does not make those claims at all. Those "facts" are merely what Premillennialists foist upon it. So to reject Amillennialism based on those things is, well, to use a baseball analogy, to strike out and subsequently trot around the bases claiming to...

He might very well be, but all he did was quote one verse from Proverbs, so it's really hard to discern much from that. They believe nothing of the sort. But He does cause the rain to fall on the just and the unjust alike, as Jesus Himself said in Matthew 5:45. What you say here, that those...

He did no such thing. Christ Jesus always was and always will be the personification of the Father's Word. Well, John clarifies that for us in verse 14: "...the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth."...

I agree. Thanks for agreeing with me. They were not. The Bible says no such thing. If they were, just as I said, God would be obligated to glorify everyone, which is universalism, which is a heresy. Well, I agree, although it is not the obedience itself that gets us there. Agreed. They...

Both are true. YHWH denotes eternality. God always was, He is, and He always will be. Jesus states this of Himself in John 8:58 and Revelation 22:13, and the writer of Hebrews affirms it in Hebrews 13:8, Well, both are true. And Jesus showed this of Himself all through the gospels and...

If everyone's sin is taken away, then everyone has to be saved, and a choice of any kind is not even necessary. Yes, if that were the case ~ Jesus died for everyone's sins and they were all taken away ~ then God would be unjust not to save everybody. So that's quite the conundrum for the folks...

Nope and nope. Grace and peace to you.

Well, there is meant to be no lying, as is the case with all sin, and will someday once again be as such. When Jesus comes back, all will be set to right, never to be set wrong again. I say they do, because it is not ours to sit in judgment of anyone. Your obligation is not to do what God...

I agree with pretty much your entire post, David, but picked the above out, because it is the crux of the matter, pretty much. Yes, so, that would be an issue if it were actually the case and not something wrongly foisted by non-trinitarians upon trinitarians. Grace and peace to you.

But that would be a lie. I hope... :) Grace and peace to you.

If they're not a member of His elect, they're... not a member of His elect. I'm not really referring to God's law, here, but only making a point: as they say, ignorance of the law is no excuse... :) Grace and peace to you.

I'm not sure who you think is doing that, but agreed. But not knowing Who He really is... that's surely not good. :) Grace and peace to you.

And I would say that His purposes were His purposes all along. But it is a great and awesome thing that God includes us and our petitions in the carrying out of His purposes, no? In the sense that we as finite and lesser than holy cannot truly grasp or fully attain to the infinite and...

Only God sees and knows the heart, right Rich? :) Grace and peace to you! And to David too, of course. :)

It's great, isn't it? Love Brando... Well that depends on who (or Who) you ask. :) My answer would be, "Of course I've seen Jews before. Who hasn't?" :) Beyond that, if I were to answer truthfully and say, "Why yes, Mr. Soldiers, I'm hiding a Jewish family in my attic," would I not be...

Not well enough, obviously. Right, right, well, right back atcha, my friend. Actually, it seems as if you don't know where the surface is... :) Grace and peace to you.

Sorry. I don't respond to smart-"elicks." :) Now where have I heard that before...? :) Just playin' with ya, Davy. :) Hackin' atcha, as Billy the Kid (Emilio Estevez) said in the movie "Young Guns." :) Grace and peace to you.
