1 Peter 2:9-10 doesn't negate Israel, just differentiates a group. Chosen is not necessarily to be confused with salvation. One can be chosen and be such for a different purpose. The Assyrians were chosen as were the Medes/Persians and later the Babylonians. Cyrus of the Babylonians was...

The fact that it is only 1000 years and not eternal should give anyone the idea that it is not the greatest of times. Perfect conditions in many ways. The Messiah is among us. But many falsely see the millennial reign as the eternal reign that comes later. I have never really been convinced...

I get the feeling you could be right. Everything is converging at breakneck speed.

Not sure I can provide any verses that say Yeshua is coming back to save us again. I, for one, am pretty much convinced that I have been justified by the redemptive work of Yeshua already, so I really don't think I need to be saved again, so I have not really tried to find supporting verses for...

Where are your witnesses that they are false prophets? That is a requirement established in scripture for you to substantiate any allegation of a capital offense, which being a false prophet is. Since the events in question have not occurred as of yet, there are no witnesses. Deuteronomy 17:6...

I'll help with the chapter for others since you didn't put it in there. in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, I see a removal of the righteous that compliments what I stated earlier. In verse 17 of this, "caught up" is the Greek word Harpazo which means a forcible snatching away. The very same word...

Sometimes folks will mistake confidence or conviction with arrogance. It is not always easy to differentiate.

I actually take it to another level. Paul was a premier Pharisee, trained under one of the greatest sages of Judaism, Gamliel. To the Jewish mindset, the last trump has a particular meaning. It has a direct reference to Rosh Hashanah (feast of trumpets). That is one reason that I don't think...

Korea illegally? We went to Korea the first time as a United Nations response of an invasion of the sovereign nation by another. Most of the other events you mention, also in concert with other nations. We have remained in Korea over the years to support the liberated nation and secure them...

You seem to be fixated on mentioning individuals who have done bad things as opposed to collective will of the nation. No doubt there are those who have vested interest in making money off of stuff like that, but as a nation, that isn't the American's prime motivation for involvement in many...

No, I didn't go thru a detailed analysis of each and every conflict, and each action of every individual in each of those conflicts. Now you are being stuck on stupid and just wanting to argue. The southern soldiers were not all that stellar either. There was plenty of fault to go around on...

Yes, Siddiqi is a Muslim. His comments were from a rebuttal to a non Muslim that was asserting that Muslims think all non Muslims should be subjugated and either accept Islam or be killed. It was countering a claim that Muslims are not to be friendly to others that live around them, in or out...

I gather you don't like to read other folk's posts in their entirety or has a reading comprehension problem. I did state to the effect that we have had some checkered periods and are not as pure as the wind driven snow at times and have had a few bad apples in the bunch.

I paid my dues.

War does leave some nasty scars and effects that continue over time. I do remember Viet Nam quite well because of my military service. And actually, today in Viet Nam, Americans and America in general are held in high regard among the people. You really need to broaden your understanding of...

Actually, Mohammed didn't know how to write. Muslims claim that because Mohammed couldn't write, the quran is a miracle. The quran was written by others. And even the hadith, in Burkhari vol VI no. 558 and 562, states that Mohammed even forgot what was written. And it is not all that...

And pay attention to what I wrote. I didn't mention the quote came from the Quran, as it didn't. This discussion is useless. You are talking but not listening. That is required for a fruitful conversation.

Prove me wrong it the quote from Mohammed I posted. Do your homework.

You are arguing one group over another. You understand little of the dynamics of various strains of Islam. And even then, just as there are liberal and conservative Jews, liberal and conservative Christians, there are liberal and conservative Muslims. And many are only Muslim in the sense...

No, I have not fallen into anything. I personally know several Muslims, just as I know several Hindus and others. Most of these folks are just trying to earn a decent living and provide for their children just like the rest of us. I even have religious oriented discussions with a Muslim...
