You need to interpret the scriptures in a way that doesn't contradict other scriptures like what I showed. But, just do what you want. I've shown you the scriptures and now you have to decide if you want to have a doctrine based on all of scripture of just certain cherry picked scriptures that...

How can Jews who reject Christ, and therefore reject God the Father as well, dedicate a temple to the one true God when they don't believe in Him? John 5:23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him. John...

It's not fair to group people who believe in a third coming of Christ in the future (which is the same coming that we non-preterists believe is the second coming) in with full preterists who do not believe in a future coming of Christ. Partial preterism is not the same as full preterism.

If we are saved by grace through faith and not by good works, as Paul taught, then how can we lose salvation by bad works/sins? It would have to be by way of losing our faith, right? Since that's how we become saved in the first place. That's what seems to be described in passages like Hebrews...

Why not? Paul describes the bride of Christ in Ephesians 5:22-32 and he said it is the church. You believe you're part of the church, don't you?

That's all I was asking was if you have considered it. Thanks for answering the question. That isn't necessarily the case. Jesus knew that most likely all of His disciples would die before He came again in glory (many believe they were all martyred, which is very possible), but He wanted to...

You're saying you believe He came and got His bride in 70 AD and then immediately went back to heaven with His bride? Don't you believe that those who are Christians now are part of His bride?

Calm down there. I'm trying to have a reasonable discussion with you and I'm not judging you, okay? I'm just asking if you've considered the possibility that Jesus could have been talking about His transfiguration in Matthew 16:28 or not. So, have you?

So, where do you think He is now? Still on the earth somewhere? Or do you think He went back to heaven again after that? If so, when?

I've never talked to you about this before, so why are you acting as if you and I have talked about this topic before? Can you address what I said about what Paul wrote in Ephesians 2:8-10 and Romans 4:1-8? Can you not see that the good works are prepared for us AFTER we have been saved by...

Read what follows that verse, which is a description of His transfiguration. Have you ever considered that He could have been talking about His transfiguration? There where some who had been standing there when He was speaking in Matthew 16:28 (Peter, James and John) who saw Him appear in glory...

The king in the parable is God the Father. It specifically says the king, representing God the Father, sent His armies to destroy them and their city. He used the Roman armies to do that. All people are His in a certain sense, so the Romans armies were His armies in the sense that He used them...

You've seen the miscommunication we've had, so, yes, do whatever you need to do to make your beliefs clear, so I don't have to guess. Are you not aware that scripture teaches that we are not saved by good works? Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of...

Marty, please address what it says in Matthew 22:2-7. You are conflating two different things here. Matthew 22:2-7 is very clear that it is God the Father who brought judgment against the Jews in 70 AD.

You are horribly mistaken. There is only one gospel and there has always only been one gospel. There has never been any way to be saved except through faith and not by works. Okay, now I see what causes your false belief. Galatians 2:7 is not talking about two different gospels. Here is a...

I would agree if you mean that repentance is also required. Repentance and faith go hand in hand. But, can you explain what you mean by that exactly? What do you think is required for someone to be saved?

Which post are you talking about? My post #2 in this thread? I know that you misunderstood what I said in that post because you quoted only one thing from it, which, by itself, gave the impression that I believed a certain thing, but the rest of my post showed what I really believe. It can look...

I never said otherwise. Do you understand that? You seem to have trouble understanding what people are saying for some reason.

I'm asking what that means exactly. Do they think if someone sins a certain amount after being born again then they are condemned or if they commit certain sins they are condemned or something like that? Salvation is by grace through faith and is not by good works, so if we're not saved by good...

I never said otherwise. Even the demons believe and shudder (James 2:19), so just believing He exists is not saving faith. Paul said that one must confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead in order to be saved (Romans 10:9). You seem to misunderstand a lot of what...
