It's called selectively reading and accepting only those verses that appear to support what the Bible does not support. To some contradiction forced into the Word of God is of no matter at all!

I'm scratching my head Scott, because you've lost me! I've been trying to understand how you believe that physical life was never really the intent of God when He created man from the dust and formed the clay into a human with flesh and bone, then breathed the breath of life into them (spirit)...

Again, I can't help but notice how you dismiss the reason Christ spoke to them in parables, was that they would have understanding of the Kingdom of God they would be sent into the world with. The parable of the fig tree is no different. The Olivet Discourse covers the whole New Covenant era...

We walk with God too when we have the Spirit of Christ in us. We walk with Him just as Enoch, and Noah also did. Just as all who are of faith walk with Him. The spirit in Adam before the fall was not tainted with sin and death. He had not yet become spiritually dead in trespasses and sins...

This is true! With one BIG difference we are physically resurrected immortal & incorruptible when the last trumpet sounds. Believers will be standing before the Judgment Throne already clothed in immortal & incorruptible bodies, that's why it is only the DEAD who are judged according to what...

Earth was created for physical beings Scott. Why would the earth be made new again and immortal & incorruptible bodies of flesh resurrected from death to inhabit it, if we shall not be flesh & bone again when Christ comes again? You seem to be leaning in a spiritual direction which the Kingdom...

I see it as a warning to those who are eternally saved but see others professing Christ who fall away. Believers should not be surprised that some will fall away, who were not eternally saved. I believe that's why the analogy of the earth bringing forth both good and bad fruit with only the...

But you are confusing how only those having physical eyes to see His coming in the clouds, with every eye seeing Christ at the Judgment Throne. Those who physically see His coming again are all kindreds of the earth. It is THEY, not those who have physically died and departed from the earth...

Every living creature upon the earth is a living soul. We are both flesh & bone and spirit. We don't ignore the fact that God created mankind to inhabit a physical, though mortal body with a spirit. The life we receive through the Spirit of Christ in us is not physical it is spiritual life...

Heb 6:4-6 This passage is commonly used to prove those who have been saved can fall away from faith and be lost. IOW those who do not believe in eternal security. The passage does not say it is possible for them to fall away, it says "For it is IMPOSSIBLE"! Look for example at vs 18 where...

Scott every eye will see (all who are still alive) Christ PHYSICALLY returning with the clouds of heaven in the same way He was seen departing from this earth. ALL without exception (even the dead) will see Him, because ALL without exception (living & dead) will be called before the Great White...

It seems you are conflating our entering into the Kingdom of God through His Spirit in us, with Christ's coming again in power and glory at the end of days. Christ came preaching the Kingdom of God as near, even at the doors for whosoever hears the message of the Kingdom of God and enters...

Is this really what you think some Christians believe about the creation of mankind? Surely none professing to be in Christ would deny that mankind was created with free will? Did not God give man a choice in the garden? And did man without any coercion from God of their own free will choose...

Exactly! We must make a distinction between what God's creation called the world is, from God's creation of mankind. The two are often interchanged as though they are the same thing. More often the Bible writes world when speaking of His whole creation, while mankind live in the world, but...

You isolate verses out of context to prove your doctrine, not biblical doctrine. When vs 9 of Hebrews is read in context, we learn who "every man" is. It is every man He brings unto glory through Him, and they are the children which God has given to Christ. Not every man, without exception...

Perhaps our doubting after knowing Christ comes not so much from unbelief, but from having little or immature faith. When the disciples of Christ had doubt through circumstances around them, Christ chastened them NOT because they did not believe in Him, but because their faith appears to be...

Summer is the time for harvesting! According to Christ the harvesting is now, during this age of Gospel grace, then at the end of this age, Christ will send His angels to gather that which the laborlores (disciples) have harvested together through the message of the Gospel. Matthew...

Yet every other parable Christ gives is that we might know the spiritual Kingdom of God is here, and that's what we proclaim as we take His Gospel unto all the earth. The parable of the fig tree is the same message as all the parables Christ gives His disciples. Christ very clearly tells the...

You did not address the purpose for which Christ spoke the parable. The parables symbolically speak of things that shall be as the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is made manifest as whosoever believes spiritually enters the Kingdom. Why would the parable of the fig tree be any different? Is the...

Read what I've written more carefully! I did not say all the prophecies of Old have been fulfilled, I said, "All the prophecies of Old are fulfilled and being fulfilled in this age of Gospel grace with the advent of Christ coming to earth a man." Then I give Joel prophesy being partially...
