Where does scripture tell the year?

It doesn't say we will know when. It won't take us by surprise if we are always ready. No one knows when it will be. Live ready and don't worry about it.

Matthew 24:36 "Last one turns the lights out, and Makes sure every curtain's drawn Nails the shutters shut, he's sure We are not of this world for long Who do you think you are? Did you figure out the date? What do you hope to do While you sit around and wait, wait, wait? Last one turns the...

The Jews missed it because they relied on their works for their salvation. Whether we pass the test or not depends on whether we have truly put our faith in Him and not ourselves. Jeremiah 18:7 If I announce that a certain nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed, 8 but...

The lump of clay here is Israel. That's the context.

Well, I feel church is very important. Going to church certainty doesn't make you a Christian. But, it is a command and corporate worship has great value, plus fellowship with like minded people has much value. I've attended a bunch of different churches with different focus'. There are very few...

You misunderstand what freedom is. Freedom to follow our selfish whims is not freedom at all, it's actually bondage. We go down that road, and many of us have, we end up in bondage to our own lusts. This does not lead to the peace we seek. Just look at all the people who follow after this type...

Hebrews 6:10 “For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do.” Romans 8:27 “And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will...

I don't know who you are addressing here, but our natural tendency as humans is to self destruction. Even the Indian tribes had laws.

The Constitution was based on biblical principles. The people who wrote it were Christian thinkers. We can't dictate what religion anyone should be in our country. That doesn't mean our whole system wasn't based on God's laws.

Lol...it doesn't say anything about children coming from hell. There's this thing called context...

You lost me here, no need to read more. The verse you quoted says nothing about children coming from hell. It's about the Pharisees living as the devil's children instead of Gods. I have never heard anyone interpret it in such a bizarre way.

Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand. 5One man regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6He who...

Paul called believers saints, even sinful believers. I think you are mistaken about the meaning of "saint".

Solomon did say that everything in this life apart from God is vanity. And that's exactly what you are expousing...vanity. All our philosophical wondering is of no use at all according to Solomon. "A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This...

Well, for one thing, no one can know they are saved under your system, since no one can know if he's one of the chosen few or not.

Wow, how informative. As usual, nothing but insults.

So? Anyone can become a sheep by doing those things. Which is clear from what I already quoted.

You read that verse wrong. 28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?” 29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.” What he is saying is that God require you to believe instead of trying to work your way to him. Jesus calls...

He also explain why they are not his sheep. "9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved." They did not enter through him, they were trying to jump the fence by doing works. "Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father. 38 But if I do them, even though you do not...
