    The Interpretation of the Rich Man and Lazarus Parable

    At least we agree that Luke 16 is God's attempt to warn His people of an impending fate. However, the nature of that fate is what is here in question. It seems that you are willing to allow God to depict Nebuchadnezzer in a fictitious way in Daniel 4 because this depiction eventually resulted in...

    I checked this site's interpretation of how Christ, and not the antichrist, confirmed a covenant for seven years, Very detailed and comprehensive, but they left out one critical proof text: "How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord...

    mjrhealth, give up this loose liberalism which says you can hold onto Jesus and sin at the same time. "What fellowship hath light with darkness?"

    The Interpretation of the Rich Man and Lazarus Parable

    Let's examine what's "unthinkable" and "out of character" for God, alright? You do not realize that by claiming that God's depiction of Abraham in Luke 16 is literal and therefore proof that the passage is a literal account of two dead men, then you by default are claiming that: the Rich Man...

    The Interpretation of the Rich Man and Lazarus Parable

    What a ridiculously subjective argument and a textbook example of circular reasoning. You first claim that a depiction of Abraham in a parable would make God a liar and then back up your entire argument with "God cannot lie"? Perhaps you are unaware that God depicted one of His faithful...

    You are correct that the 70 Weeks had to do with "thy people (Jews) and thy holy city (Jerusalem)". Daniel's mention of the restoration of Jerusalem and the temple had to do with the return from Babylonian exile. That was accomplished already, as well as a subsequent destruction of that...

    People have erroneously concluded that the verse is saying "at the end of the 70 Weeks transgression will finish and sin will have ended". Then, they conclude that since transgression and sin still exist, the 70 Weeks have not yet ended. That is a faulty conclusion. The text is actually an...

    How did you arrive at this conclusion?

    How many people have you actually heard say, "I will EARN my salvation with works"???? I'd bet an entire year's salary you've never heard anyone say that ONCE.

    Hey, it was you who claimed that keeping the letter of the law leads to condemnation. I'm merely trying to help you. According to your interpretation of Paul's words, each day you go without murdering someone is a day you fall under condemnation for keeping the letter of the law which says "thou...

    The Interpretation of the Rich Man and Lazarus Parable

    Friend, I've heard this argument often and my response is always the same: What is your Scriptural evidence to support this claim that a parable must never have included in it actual Biblical characters? I can tell you that none exists and that you are left with only subjective reasoning, which...

    The Interpretation of the Rich Man and Lazarus Parable

    What we know for sure is that the "dead know not anything", the dead "don't praise the Lord", of the dead "their memory is forgotten", and "there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave, wither thou goest." Therefore, if someone tells you that they died and things...

    Am I correct in assuming that you killed no one today? If I am correct, then you are guilty of keeping the "letter of the law" which you say leads to condemnation, so you'd better get out a machete or an Uzi and get busy so that you can get out from under that condemnation. Seriously, is...

    The Interpretation of the Rich Man and Lazarus Parable

    Because the dead "know not anything" (Ecclesiastes 9:5 KJV). Wouldn't you agree that you must first know something before you can verbalize it?

    I posted what I feel is a fair challenge to a popular Christian axiom - "We need not concern ourselves with the "letter of the law" because we keep "the spirit of the law" as New Covenant Christians". I pointed out that while it seems on the surface to be exceedingly profound, it is actually...

    You're welcome, friend. Yes, many believe the 70th week is future. It's actually a new teaching that began to be preached around 100 years ago. It first appeared in the 16th century during the early stages of the Protestant Reformation. Luther and the rest of those great men identified from...

    I would refer you to Daniel 9:27 KJV where it says that Messiah would be killed "after" the 69 weeks. By this verse, we see that He was not killed during the 69 weeks, but "after" the 69 weeks, so that means He was killed during the 70th week. Those who are honest can see that we can't just...
