Oh now I think back, that was my second from 1976, totally worn out before I found out it was Dispensational. I did not depend on its notes though and ended up Reformed. My first was a Good News one in 1973, gifted by the couple who led me to the Lord, which I soon became fed up with.

Thank you I accept your apology. I asked you why Jesus rebuked the answer you gave that it was the first son who was obedient. “The first,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. 32 For John...

My oldest worn out Bible is 50 years old thank you. I believe in the Trinity as three in one persons, all divine and as you have not bothered to take notice of my beliefs, I will not further converse with you unless you do thank you.

But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: (John 15:26) The Father is from eternity unbegotten, the Son begotten: "According to Saint Gregory the Theologian, trying to go further...

I cannot have respect for a man who makes a deal and then gets out of it by not answering my question .

He revealed to me that was the standard of obedience He requires.

Interpreted the text for me.

I am a holiness doctrine believer.

God taught me it at the time l was seeking entire sanctification. I have not read it anywhere else. It is not one that is usually discussed.

What was the answer from Jesus?

But there are different reasons to regret. Fear of the consequences is the most usual.

We need to take into account which one Jesus said was the obedient one and He showed that it was not the first one. Therefore it was the second even though he did not make it. We can assume he intended to. When Jesus says jump we are not to stand thinking about it.

The point of the parable is the comparison of the sons therefore l do not think the second changed his .mind. Obedience .must be instant . It is about attitude.

@Titus :oops: Jesus says he was the obedient son.Two choices.

You might have. But then again you.might not. You have been prevented from going by unforseen circumstances. That is why we must read the text carefully and make sure we are not twisting things.

It does not say. You are reading things into the text to fit into your own ideas about sin. Sir.

@Titus I made a mistake because of what you added. The second son is just said to have not gone, that's all, nothing about him changing his mind.

Yes but scripture does not say the reason. Obedience is not having second thoughts and regretting it. That is not obedience. However, something cropping up to stop our obedience does not take away the intention. He could have been run over and put in hospital. It does not say.

He is teaching about obedience. It is my understanding. It was intention that showed the obedience.

@Bruce-Leiter I will get back to you tomorrow as I am tired.
