    The Inherent Flaws in Penal Substitution Atonement

    Certainly the "penal" part of salvation is only part. Thank God! Indeed, it is all of the above. Literally.

    The folly of Preterism

    Tit-for-tat scripture quoting and making a case for the ways of this world isn't helping you. Are these quotes suppose to make void the one I gave? I quoted that you might see the need to reconcile all scripture, not counter God against God. You have made your choice. So be it.

    The folly of Preterism

    When one passes "from death to life"--which part is of this world and which is part is of God? Galatians 4:9-11 But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? You observe...

    The folly of Preterism

    "Mystical metaphysical gobbly goop?" Tell that to Jesus when He asks you why you put Him off, when "today is the time of salvation." Matthew 23:13

    The folly of Preterism

    Again...you are not even hearing yourself. You just said the dead in Christ "will be" resurrected--as if Christ has not already been resurrected. You have reconciled nothing!

    The folly of Preterism

    There is no "waiting." Time is an illusion. First you said there is no purgatory (no waiting), but then you say they "have been delivered", then you say they "wait." Sounds a lot like purgatory doctrine. Certainly, that is the way the world would view it--but salvation and resurrection are not...

    The folly of Preterism

    I've been perfectly clear. People apparently don't even know what a Preterist is. No, I am not a Preterist. Preterists have just picked a time that makes most sense to them, and believe that everything was all over in AD 70. I have never said that...but have clearly said that both "we were"...

    The folly of Preterism

    There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

    The folly of Preterism

    Every age is "the last days", there are six or seven, the last of which are three and a half (so to speak): "a time, times, and half a time."

    The folly of Preterism

    For the record.

    The folly of Preterism

    What you have described cannot be fully reconciled without the false doctrine of purgatory, for you have made these last days a time in which Israel must wait until the fulness of the gentiles has come. That is not the case, but I have explained it as it actually is--that time is an illusion...

    The folly of Preterism

    You do not know what you say, nor what is written, only how you have wrongly understood it. As for my forefathers, if you knew me by name you would not speak as you do. That was your last chance.

    The folly of Preterism

    You are under the wrong impression, not understanding...as if God and the things of God were actually on the same created timeline of men and this world. They are not. Therefore, it is written that we "were" crucified with Christ, and He "was" slain before the foundation of the world (past...

    The folly of Preterism

    You are not hearing even those things you have quoted. Paul says "but now"..."and become" (present tense). He was also referring to "them that slept" (past tense). He also said "afterward"...which I have not said differently. But what is missing in your explanation, is that you have not...

    The folly of Preterism

    This is your false accusation (above). I do not "deny the literal climactic future return of Christ, which ushers in the general resurrection/judgment of the living and the dead and the introduction of the new perfect eternal state." (And you know what the scriptures say about faults...

    Who are the 144,000?

    My point was to sight the creation week as a foreshadowing of God's plans for all who would be saved, whom are by definition, the 144,000 (spiritually defined as ("12 tribes" meaning all the chosen, and "thousand" specifically as a declared undefined number of all who are included, just as it is...

    Who are the 144,000?

    So...you are saying there was and is a seventh day. Great--that is what I said also! However, that was not the point.

    The folly of Preterism

    I do not answer to you, but to God. I have stated the truth however, not keeping it from you. Perhaps you should read it again...don't miss post #56. Meanwhile, your own actions and character speak for themselves.

    Do most Christians here really support Russia invading Ukraine?

    You are only seeing what the media and democrats (Biden) is letting out and not considering the corruption that the Biden family has been involved in over there. It's all a cover up. Meanwhile, Putin has declared war on what has been going on there on his border. Follow the money--the Biden's...

    Trying To Work This Out - Outer Darkness

    You are correct with the "prison" idea...as we who were and are born into this world are captives. This world is that outer darkness. Thus, He said, "the kingdom of God is within you."
