private interpretation is a disease in the church that is inflicting massive casualties.

YOu should not assume anything for I assumed nothing. Reading my mind is not one of your fortes Well that may be your word, but it is not Gods Word. Are you saying in this word salad that Jesus did not physically rise from the dead with the same body He died in?

no it is lousy eisegesis as well. Which is why I avoid it with a passion. WOW! talk about straining at gnats to swallow a camel. Nation means people and Paul said all Israel ALL Israel will be saved because of their election. Well in the gospel it is specifically addressed to Israel. so...

I believe Peter. 1 Peter 1 King James Version 1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, He was writing to Jewish believers who were scattered due to the persecutions going on in Israel(remember Peter was the...

Jeremiah 31:31-36 King James Version 31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of...

I know both of these truths well! I understand full well that when Jesus returns, He will not be the suffering Savior, but the Conquering King!. And this happens prior to the 1000 year kingdom.

Well I have. I have had a year in linguistic training in each of the biblical languages. and in the context that that Jewish writer is using echad can mean the cardinal one (as it does) but it is used in many passages as a "compound one". But to show this Jewish writer: "that there exists...

please, if you are going to quote Greek, know how it is written. Greek manuscripts did not capitalize words! they were called uncial manuscripts. Caps came much later in English and other languages. And as your masters in the Watchtower love to make a big deal of JOhn 1:1 and the definite...

No the Watchtower reasonings on this is the unbiblical nonsense. John 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. Honor is a value word. It is saying that however one...

1. It is a reality! He physically rose from the dead, was seen by over 500 and ascended into heaven in the body the Apostles saw right before He ascended. that is fact, not assumption. 2. It is a metaphor. Jesus being with us is through the agency of the Holy Spirit. currently Jesus is in...

Well that is where a huge problem lies! No one is allowed to "interpret" the Scriptures. But this disease of interpretation has become pandemic in Christendom.

And I think you misseed the whole point of why I posted this thread.

Ok then. On these threads one ha to clarify subtleties because you just don't know where people stand.

Absolutely! That is why we have our massive oil, coal and gas fields! And the flood also made teh massive sedimentary layers we see today. Mt. St. Helens proved sedimentary layers can form rapidly and ot over millions of years.

WOW you do know how to twist verses don't you? Matt. 18 has to do with church discipline and not all matters. 1 Tim.3 is correct it is the ground of truth and a pillar of truth, but not that truth! Scripture is that truth! Any teaching, no matter if brought by a synod of Bishops or the...

So Jesus told turn the other cheek, but Rome says butcher them? HMMM I choose Jesus. where were these armed forces duirng the first three centuries of the church when Rome butchered Christians with glee? they were too busy being christians! And where did you get your education in Church...

You do not know early church history obviously. thew early church was wracked with divisions. Even Paul commented on that. And God always leads His followers. People not an organization. But He was leading and guiding all those names you cited. The very fact that the RCC taught one can...

No it doesn't. It speaks of things hidden from the eyes of the world. Scripture clearly and openly speaks of Messiahs death but the world could not understand while believers did!

Pulling texts out of context is poor exegesis. Paul in Romans 11 reminded us God is not through with the nation. In Luke 13 you cite, Jesus shows the setting aside is temporary. That word you underlined "until" is big- for they will acknowledge Jesus. and Jesus meant see HIm again, not...

R U??
