    Calvary Denied It Entrance Into The New Covenant (so how did it get past the door?)

    First, a few things about Covenants: I. "Covenant" and "Testament" are interchangeable in Scripture. They mean simply "an agreement between two parties based on mutual promises". II. According to Hebrews 9:16-17 KJV, no one can change another's Last Will and Testament once they're dead...

    Paul's Thorn In The Flesh=Not a Sickness but a Messenger of Satan to buffet me.

    I have been waiting...for you to post examples of my "rudeness" or "insults". Do so that I may publicly apologize. If not, then stop these accusations immediately bc falsely accusing other members is a violation of forum rules. Thank you.

    Paul's Thorn In The Flesh=Not a Sickness but a Messenger of Satan to buffet me.

    What about others who, unlike you, feel that religious doctrinal errors are no laughing matter, who are as righteously indignant today as Jesus was when He saw how those entrusted with freely disseminating the light of salvation had so corrupted it in order to make merchandise of it? Should...

    Hidden In Him, firstly, you seem to be under the supposition that as long as you include "LOL" or "funny" memes along with your rude, insulting, critical, argumentative posts, they cease to be such. They do not. Practice what you preach, please. Secondly, while there's no excuse for yours or...

    Paul's Thorn In The Flesh=Not a Sickness but a Messenger of Satan to buffet me.

    Look, lets not pretend that Ahab who "did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him" didn't know why Elijah was sent by God to stop the rain. Bound up in Elijah's brief meteorological forecast was an unspoken: rebuke by God for what Ahab was doing confirmation of disfavor...

    AN OFT OVERLOOKED LESSON FROM JACOB'S LADDER

    As Jacob's head lay resting on a hard stone rock of a pillow, his mind was filled with what is perhaps one of the most softest, sweetest, tenderest pictures of the Savior in the OT: that celestial Ladder bridging the gap between a hopeless, sinful, fallen human race and their holy, divine...

    Hell . . . The Bad News.

    "Wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat...because strait is the gate and narrow is the was that leadeth unto life and few there be that find it."

    They accused Elijah of troubling Israel with his rude, critical, and argumentative preaching and teaching. Elijah told them it was actually their disregard of God's commandments and worship of the devil which was the source of the trouble - and the same is still true today.

    Paul's Thorn In The Flesh=Not a Sickness but a Messenger of Satan to buffet me.

    Sorry, friend, the OC consisted of God promising to bless Israel if Israel promised to obey His Law, not "man-made" commandments. Paul told them to "lay by him in store", which means "store up at your house" - not in a church collection plate - an oft overlooked, yet crucial detail, by those...

    Paul's Thorn In The Flesh=Not a Sickness but a Messenger of Satan to buffet me.

    I never categorized you as anything - I disagreed with your use of dispensationalism. Is English you first language? I plainly demonstrated that Dr. Luke plainly refers to Adam as "the son of God" - irrefutable, undeniable, self-evident proof that the term "son of God" is applies to an Old...

    If you asked me to "keep" the fire going in your backyard firepit while you leave for the day and I get there to throw another log on and find it cold and damp, how can I "keep" it lit, since you never lit it in the first place? Likewise, you nor I can "keep" the rest of the week holy because...

    Paul's Thorn In The Flesh=Not a Sickness but a Messenger of Satan to buffet me.

    No need to get so emotional. You said Paul was "clear" when he referred to the "messenger of Satan". I think it's equally "clear" that Christians are to observe God's designated day of rest rather than a man-made day and is why I asked you about the Sabbath. As I said, no need to get worked up here.

    Paul's Thorn In The Flesh=Not a Sickness but a Messenger of Satan to buffet me.

    Dispensationalism is a poor substitute for Biblical exegesis, friend. Not "every available source" prior to the 5th century agrees with you, because the Gospel writer plainly refers to Adam as the "son of God", and when the Bible comes into conflict with church commentators, I always stick with...

    Paul's Thorn In The Flesh=Not a Sickness but a Messenger of Satan to buffet me.

    Yes, Sunday is observed in honor of the resurrection, but it's purely by tradition, not a directive in Scripture. Jesus had a lot to say about the "vain" worship of tradition and "commandments of men" in Matthew 15. You're statement about "synagogue missionary work" is not factual. There are...

    Paul's Thorn In The Flesh=Not a Sickness but a Messenger of Satan to buffet me.

    It's far easier to debunk this idea of a "literal demon" with just pointing out the writing style of the Hebrew people. Paul's use of "Hebrew Chiasm" is well established, and we need not look long to find it: (Symbolic "A" = "thorn in the flesh" <<<=>>> (Symbolic "B") "messenger of Satan" The...

    Paul also said PLAINLY "we establish the law" so why aren't you and the rest of those professing Christianity in church on the Sabbath and keeping the Ten Commandments instead of keeping a man-made replacement "day of rest" for which the Papacy takes full credit and responsibility but which the...

    You actually think Paul's tormentor was a real demon?

    Paul's Thorn In The Flesh=Not a Sickness but a Messenger of Satan to buffet me.

    Yes, but as in the case of "demons/women sex to produce giants", although "sons of God" is just as appropriately a reference to God-fearing humans as it is to angelic beings, Christians today for some reason seem unreasonably drawn to exotic, exciting, wild and weird interpretations of...

    What a shame the concept of brotherly Christian love is so distorted today that one who professes to be a Christian insults those with whom he disagrees and is actually PRAISED by others who profess the same! Can you imagine Jesus on the Cross announcing to the crowds, "Hey you Jewish JERKS, I...
