You've completely lost me.

I guess I am missing the part where anything in these verses runs off and does nothing since they are saved. Mind pointing it out? I Corinthians 3 deals with laborers. Last time I checked, you have to perform labor to a laborer. Paul speaks about feeding the Corinthians (and us) with milk...

Which is it, Swampfox? I've said it before, I'll say it again. The servant that is found good is found good because he is doing up until the very last moment. He's not off in the corner saying, "I'm already saved, so there's nothing left for me to do." If you'll kindly notice, I hightlighted...

I want to clarify something here. I'm not using the example of the second servant to say that this evil one was a Christian at one point. What the OSAS doctrine says is that someone, chosen by God, can literally do whatever they want after they are saved. This means that set person could decide...

Hosea 6:6For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. This has probably become my favorite verse in the Bible. What people don't understand is that Satan, the pharisees, and virtually any Jew in Jesus's day could quote Scripture left and right...

writer, and I quote: The context of the passage is the “End of the Age” and the “Coming” of Christ as King over all the earth, namely the millennial reign of Christ: YOU brought it up. The passage from Matthew 24 is not about the millenium, it's about the coming of Christ. I Scripturally...

Address what is said, and use the Word of God. The really funny thing is I have and I did.

Why did you need time to go through the explicity stated? It's contiually the same thing. Whatever writer says is the Word and whatever anyone else says. We're supposed to document it all while you state a few verses and run the majority on your opinion. I leave this Scripture up to each...

James 2:14-26What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those...

Well, clearly, because it documents the time of millenium which is not a part of the timeframe of Matthew 24 as you have proposed. I've already documented what a servant of Christ is and we agree that Christ is the master returning to the earth. The good servant that continues working through...

Scriptural documentation. You wanted it, you got it.

Attempted insults always work so well when someone doesn't agree with you.

Matthew 24 Click the link and read it in its entirety without comments and without far reaching concluions and the word of writer. Matthew 24:3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of...

This was written in the Old Testament and is not addressed to Christians. Then why did Jesus preach from it? Why did he quote it? Why did he expand on it? This statement is pure nonsense. John 5:39Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify...

And you chide me for being out of context. The subject of Matthew 24 remains unchanged. It's not about the millenium, its about the coming of Christ and the parable speaks to the servant that is present at his return. You're reaching so far outside of Scripture I'm losing you.

Where in the passage does the servant claim to be saved? Where in the passage do you see this as referring to those who are just sitting around at Church, as you put it, doing nothing? Common sense, to be blunt about it. However, which verse would you like me to document that says we are...

I'm very familiar with Matthew 24 and its parallels in Mark 13 and Luke 21. The issue is indeed the second coming and I never stated to the contrary. Never have, never will. However, the example here holds the same. The blessed ones are the ones found doing the work, not the ones that claim to...

I think it is time that I put something forward here that is found in the Word but often overlooked: II John 1:9-11Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any...

Scriptural Documentation: Matthew 24:45-51Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler...

Well that's how I arrived at the solution as well. The key is that if you accept the Biblical timeline of events, this puts Adam as being (very roughly here give or take a few hundred years) about 6,000 years ago. This is not enough time, IMHO, for the fairly significant divisions we see in...
