True--but God was very reluctant to agree to the Israelites having a King in the first place. He warned them what a King would do to them.

It had to happen in some generation or another. In the case of other persecutors of God's people, they are even now imprisoned in the place of punishment. They did not escape. The Great Tribulation, Millennial Kingdom and Final Judgment are the wrap-up of history--they are all included in the...

I believe it was Amadeus who brought him into the discussion. ;)

I think that if you will read the Revelation chapter 7 passage carefully, you will see that the people you are speaking of are in heaven and they did NOT survive the great tribulation.

Yes--those are very interesting points. Even after the Resurrection, according to the gospel of Luke, Peter STILL was left wondering what happened after he saw the empty tomb! (Luke 24:12) In spite of being told that the Resurrection was going to occur, he still did not truly believe--he...

Saul wasn't a part of Christ's Church--which was indwelt corporately as well as each individual Christian was and is. The evidence of being indwelt by the Holy Spirit is the Fruit of the Spirit. In OT times, faith produced obedience. The fact that Saul was disobedient points to his lack of...

Agreed, tzcho2. Which brings up the question, what if you are not watching for the Lord's return for His Church? Weren't we told to keep watch for our Bridegroom? In the Lord's telling of the Ten Bridesmaids, only five of them had enough oil in their lamps. They were able to watch for the...

And now you are comparing me to a Roman who renounced his/her faith? One can, of course refuse a gift, but once it is truly accepted, it starts a process that is not possible to undo--even to the point of martyrdom. Peter was weak in the faith at first, and cowardly--but, was martyred...

“Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen” (2 Tim 2:14).

We are supposed to testify of our faith. What is it that you think you are doing?

I think you are getting into the weeds when you say that. Well that is no doubt true. He is our "helper" and He "leads to all truth" countering the lies of the enemy of our souls.

You were obviously implying something about me--that I am somehow like Hitler or the "sons of the devil" in merely using the word "we". It is quite irrational to attack someone because they used a word that I have shown was also used by Peter.

Please, show me in the Bible where that is stated? I maintain that a "saint" is a believer. Period. Whether one is "born again from on high" is a separate matter. There is no record that John the Baptist was ever indwelt by the Holy Spirit ("born again") but are you prepared to say that he...

Simon Peter in John 6:68 says, "...Lord to whom would we go?..." Would you accuse him the way you have accused me?

What utter nonsense. Jesus says, "Come, let's be going." at Gethsemane. He could have easily said, "We must leave now." And WHAT QUESTION WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO ANSWER? I know you love to be cryptic and all, but you are not helping whatever your argument is by being nasty to other Christians.

Old Testament believers are also referenced as being saints but the word typically comes out "faithful" from the English translators. The word in question is qaddiysh in Hebrew and it is from the same root word as "holy" in Hebrew. And that is what "saint" means--holy or set apart for God's...

Hitler probably said lots of things that others have said (only he said them in German, more than likely). Is there some reason for this irrational attack?

"We" as in "we who have faith in Christ". What did you think I meant? What is the purpose of your second line? Is it to be just as offensive and obnoxious as you can be?

And what "claims" would those be?

And you dare to talk about violating forum rules after comparing me to Hitler?? What is wrong with you?
