Where have I said otherwise? Apparently, you have not the ability to understand that since ALL humankind shall not be eternally saved, then atonement is indeed LIMITED. If atonement according to God's grace through faith will include the whole human race, why will those who have not been...

If the 144,000 literally represent God's chosen witnesses at the end of time physically preaching the Good News as Paul did in the first century, only their mission as the final call for man to turn to God through Christ, why does John write they are with Christ on heavenly mount Sion as first...

Have you ever considered them as the first fruits of the Spirit? They could not be spiritually resurrected until the Holy Spirit, depicted as the wind was sent to be in faithful man after the resurrection of Christ. They would be the faithful church from Old Covenant Israel (Church in the...

Why would I argue against that which is biblical? I was merely acknowledging what you believe without arguing I am against it. Not sure what it is you think I missed, but I see you did NOT answer the query! Did you not understand the question? Once again, I'm not sure what you think I...

We either understand that atonement according to God's grace through faith in Christ is limited to those who believe, or we must embrace universalism! Are you a universalist? Are you of those who deny there shall be a judgment day when whosoever's name is not found written in the Lamb's Book...

Didn't you argue that mankind was created with a free will? Scripture tells us that everything God created was "good"! Since man was created good, just as God has said they were, why attribute the fact that some will suffer eternal wrath to God? Did God force Adam & Eve to disobey Him and...

Will you argue that ALL mankind without exception is ordained to eternal life?

Jesus has come and is coming for ALL who believe! It is according to grace through faith that one comes to Christ for everlasting life, and He shall lose none of those ordained to eternal life! And none who in this life remain in unbelief shall be saved through Him!

Did not Jesus Christ come quickly, or without delay/suddenly/unexpectedly the moment you believed and were born again of His Spirit! We won't need to hold fast to what we have or fear losing our crown when Christ comes the second time. When all things have become new again, we have no more...

Not only do I know with blessed assurance that Christ has not yet come again, and is coming a second time, I anticipate that day with great joy and expectation knowing then there shall no longer be anymore sorrow or death for in that day, we have this great expectation: Revelation 21:3-5 (KJV)...

The verse is not referring to Christ' second coming. John tells us that which must shortly come to pass is the revelation of Jesus Christ, through the message preached of the testimony of Jesus Christ. The revealing of Jesus Christ unto whosoever has ears to hear the Spirit of Christ began to...

After all things have been made new, humans will exist, but there will be no more curse of death. As long as we live in a world where sin, and death through sin still exists, the world is not right with God. And shall never be until the Kingdom of God is complete, and Christ comes again. The...

The atoning blood of Christ paid the penalty, that is everlasting death, for all that God created in the beginning. By Christ's sacrificial atoning blood the sentence of death for ALL God created has been done away. That's why ALL that God created shall be made new when Christ comes the second...

If the world that now exists has already been made right with God how come the world is still burdened by sin and death?

I'm not following your reasoning, Marty? I simply want to know if the Preterist view the discourse as Christ speaking primarily to ethnic Jews, or the disciples of Christ? Because Preterists are primarily focused on 70 AD, and don't seem to give much if any thought to the fact that Christ is...

Being 'quickened' when we are born again, is NOT referring to our bodily resurrection that shall be in the hour that is coming, when the last trumpet sounds, and time given this age whereby mankind might be 'quickened' spiritually, i.e. born again shall be no longer. Resurrection is to return...

Marty, when you ask this question, do you believe that Christ was speaking to believers who were Jews? IOW is it more significant to understand that the discourse is directed primarily to the nation of Israel (Jews), or primarily to followers of Christ?

Exactly! Now in this age of time we, who are not physically dead, but spiritually dead while physically alive in trespasses and sins MUST hear the voice of the Son of God and they that hear have passed from spiritual death to spiritual life NOW, in this age from the first advent of Christ...

I've discovered that Davidpt seldom answers questions. What he likes to do is to keep asking more questions so he doesn't have to deal with the fact that his answers to our questions would force contradictions into the Word of God.

You again speak what you do not understand. Believing historical fulfillment of things that came to pass in 70 AD does not mean one must be a preterist to some degree. Do you deny that what Christ wrote would become of Jerusalem and the temple did not literally happen in the past? If you say...
