Having a hard time understanding why people are continuing to indulge this madness (or should I say madman?).

J, that verse doesn't say what you think it says. The Greek word translated sins in R 3:25 actually means sin effects or results of sin. Paul is not saying that only one's previously committed sins are forgiven when one is born again, but that the former results of sin (judgment and death) that...

Pharisees, not Pharoahs.

Regarding the first, I'm sure the Pharisees had similar thoughts towards Jesus and his band of followers.

Apart from the fact that the book of Revelation is saturated with symbology?

By thanking GOD for creating men with the faith, courage and discernment to stand against the corporate status quo.

Oh OK. It sounded like you might be teaching what some here teach, that only a select few Christians are resurrected at the first resurrection. Glad you're not.

Those who repent and believe into Christ are in Christ. Period. Those who are just actors going through the motions are not in Christ, and neither is he in them. Thus, 'I never knew you'. Your doctrine is based on Revelation 20:4. But that verse says nothing about 'doing it your own way' or...

This is just not true. The body of Christ is Israel, and vice versa. Christ, his body; the vine, the branches. It is all one. This is not true either. Christ is the core and focus.

It's just staggering how little discernment exists today. Paul wrote that nearly 2000 years ago. Things changed dramatically not long after he wrote it. For the past 1900+ years unto whom have the oracles of GOD been committed?

eternal death

Jethro as in the father-in-law of Moses?

Prophecy is more forth-telling the need to repent of sin than it is foretelling future events.

I know I keep repeating myself, but since you keep bringing the subject up, I have to refute it. The version of Zechariah 14:5 that you keep repeating is a false prophecy. Those who promote it are guilty of bearing false witness of GOD. I repeat - those who witness that Zechariah 14:5 says...

Are you referring to the subject matter at hand... or his head? :)
