Not God, but you Jesuit Futurist aficionados.

ATP, you are being very inconsistent. When arguing in favor of OSAS, you readily claim that "transgression and sin" are finished and ended in the life of believers and is no longer associated with them regardless of whatever deliberate sinful behavior a believer manifests.. But, here when I...

I didn't give the parable of the Unmerciful Servant, Jesus did. And to interpret it any other way than what is so painfully obvious - that the Unmerciful Servant was previously forgiven but wound up condemned again - is a willful distortion of Scripture so that salvation may by obtained on our...

God never promised to force anyone to "abide in the Vine" - only to help those who choose to remain there in the midst of temptation and sin. Conversely, He warned us of the fatal mistake of failing to continue to abide there with Him.

So, you're not willing to settle for anything less than Liberal Utopia, right? No system is perfect, but it's still better than the tyranny of massive governmental intrusion. If you like that so much, why are you still here? Why not go down to Venezuela and take up the struggle with the rest of...

Nah, it's more of a reflection of church history. Incidentally, are you able to identify any numerically specific time prophecy in the Bible that had a "gap" inserted into it? Of course, cases where God relented because the people repented, like Nineveh, don't count for obvious reasons.

If I've offended you, I apologize, but if the truth I speak offends you, then that cannot be helped. BTW, I am not a Jesuit Preterist, I am a Protestant Historicist, which cannot in any way be confused with Jesuit Preterism or the Jesuit Futurism to which you subscribe. Furthermore, there is no...

This principle that Jesus came to "finish the transgression and to make an end of sins" in the life of the believer is taught throughout Scripture, such as Hebrews 10:12-14 KJV; Isaiah 53:5 KJV; and Romans 8:1 KJV: "But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down...

So what? Whether or not there was a real lord, unmerciful servant, and an impossible 10,000 talent debt, the principle taught by this parable IS a reality: that a sinner who asks for and receives forgiveness for his impossible sin debt can find himself under obligation to repay the sin debt...

ATP, for who and for what time duration does the prophecy apply? The Jews and for 490 years unto Jesus' day. You know full well that by Jesus sacrifice, He finished the transgression and made an end of sin in the life of every Jewish believer of His day. So, why do you insist that the verse...

I prefer to let free men live free. The spirit of Satan is the spirit of bondage and control and the imposition of one's will upon another. That is exactly what Liberalism embodies, as exampled by liberal activist judges whose legislation from the bench has created the illusion in the minds of...

Yes, I can see it now: The Unmerciful Servant, cowering in fear and begging for mercy before his lord, hears the words drop from his lips, "You are forgiven this impossible debt of 160,000 years of annual income" and begins to kiss his feet and thank him profusely for his kindness - but does not...

Of what significance is 444 B.C.? It is merely the end of Artaxerxes' moratorium (prompted by the lies and false reports of Israel's enemies) on his own comprehensive command that he had already given in 457 B.C. that Israel rebuild Jerusalem, which included the unprecedented setting up of a...

I fully agree with the Historicist view that the verse has to do with 490 consecutive years pertaining to ancient Israel, where the last week is fulfilled by Jesus Christ, not Antichrist, because it specifically says it has to do with "thy people and thy holy city." Our confused Jesuit Futurist...

Yes, please explain exactly what in verse 24 leads you to conclude that sin and transgression must end before 34 A.D., which is 490 years from the beginning of the prophecy in 457 B.C.

Yes, there will be a "chatham" EVENTUALLY. Why can't the 70 Weeks end before the end of sin?

RJ, don't pretend you don't treat sinners differently based on their patterned behavior. I seriously doubt you would allow a visibly drunk alcoholic cab driver to take you to your next "Feel the Bern" rally, or stand in a wedding that was officiated by an ordained "Church of Satan" minister, or...

I wonder if the Unmerciful Servant, who after he was forgiven went out and proceeded to serve sin unto death rather than obedience unto righteousness, thought he was OSAS when his lord condemned him again to repay the same debt of which he was originally forgiven?

Because I refuse to join you in legitimizing the sin of homosexuality?

Why can't the 70 Weeks expire in Jesus' day 490 years after they began, while sin continues on for another 2,000 years to our day?
