Thank you, and I kinda like the Mr. Dude thing, not in the least bit offended by it. Well sir, if you had read my other post, you would know that I do not agree that scripture teaches Israel is in the geographic center of the earth, but that Jerusalem is the spiritual center of all the cosmos...

This is purely anecdotal, and I'm not about to enter into debate on this issue. But for what its worth, I came to repentance and faith 35 years ago, and for most of my Christian life I went back and forth and back again over the trinity. It wasn't that I didn't believe it, I just couldn't wrap...

Very well, Mr. Dude, will you please just ask your questions? I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but this Socratic method you're employing is growing tiresome.

Dude, its not a country, its a city, its Jerusalem. Can you please get to the point?

He did, Ezekiel 5:5, though I don't think it means what rvmb is about to insist that it does.

As a good brother of mine once quipped, "assume, that like firearms, all questions are loaded." But of course, I don't shy away from any questions. As I already clearly stated, I believe in Christ, all other matters are peripheral. So no, I do not "believe' in flat earth. Not anymore than I...

At the time of Paul's letters to Timothy, there were between 10 or 12 books of what is now the NT already written, depending upon which dates you subscribe to. But the likelihood that Paul was referring to any of these is low. That shouldn't detract in any way from the exhortation to diligently...

But I do not believe that. As I have stated before in this thread, I believe in Christ, and all the scriptures teach about Him, every other view that I may subscribe to, doctrinal, eschatological, prophetic etc, I cling to very loosely, including biblical cosmology. Jerusalem is indeed the...

I'm sure that the answer you are looking for is Israel, but the clearest passage of scripture related to your question does not mention Israel, but Jerusalem, in Ezekiel chapter 5.

Perhaps you are correct, maybe it was God who gave us science. But science and wisdom are not synonymous. And as is the case with so many of the good gifts given by God, sinful man will in no short order pervert them. What once were the means used by men to search out the mysteries of creation...

Amen Brother, thank you as well. That's exactly why I'm here, to hear stories just like yours and rejoice in the goodness of God together with my brethren. I started off in this particular thread because I didn't feel up to another endless debate about some obscure doctrine or another. In...

My brother David, you are debating with a man who has a very low opinion of Gods Holy Word, just in case you have yet to notice that small but important detail. Proceed accordingly.

Ha ha, Southern Baptist originally, walked an aisle, said all the right things, grandma stopped crying, the pastor gave me a bible, a handshake, and a bath, I was 10. 13 years later, a drunken adulterer, a lying thief, an angry, violent suicidal, fearful, yet full of pride with nothing...

I've been called everything but a white boy in my 60 or so years on this plane, not once have I ever been mistaken for a Jehovah's Witness. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Everything that was made was made by Him, and apart from Him was nothing...

2 Corinthians 4 King James 3But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5For we preach not ourselves...

I am so grateful to Almighty God that my acceptance into His eternal kingdom does not depend upon my own particular eschatological leanings or interpretations. But rather Christ in me, the hope of glory. That being said, the glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ has always been imminent...

This explains a great deal. Thank you.

No sir, it is not how you speak to me or anyone else. You speak down to people, as though you are the sole authority in all matters physical, scriptural, or spiritual. Which I why, regretfully, I must now bring this dialogue to a permanent conclusion. Much like the Pharisee prayed thus with...
