You obviously believe that sin and transgression must end before the expiration of the 70 Weeks. Where in Daniel 9 does it say that this is the case?

RJ, Liberalism considers only speech that it agrees with as "free speech" while whatever it disagrees with as "hate speech". Liberalism is truly a mental disorder in that it fails to recognize the very reason for the 1st Amendment in the first place is to protect the right of others to say that...

"And have nothing to do with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather rebuke them." Ephesians 5:11 KJV. We are not helping the gay community to find Christ and leave that abominable lifestyle behind by championing efforts to force Christians to condone it as normal and support it financially.

RJ, I appreciate your passionate defense of what God calls an abomination. Why don't you hop a plane to an Islamic country and lead a protest against the popular Islamic practice of hurling men convicted of the crime of homosexuality to their deaths from rooftops, and let someone else help...

ATP, if I told you, "I took two weeks time off from work to end world hunger", you fully understand that the word "to" is a "why" preposition indicating why I'm taking off from work, not a "when" preposition demanding that world hunger will cease to exist when the two weeks are over. In the...

Reasoning that God "cut off" the 70 Weeks to bring about the 6 objectives ("finish the transgression and make and end of sins...") and then concluding that since transgression and sin still exist, this means that the 70 Weeks are not yet ended - hence the "gap theory" - is flawed, subjective...

The 70th Week was fulfilled by Christ. It was He Who "in the midst of the week" caused the sacrifices and oblations to cease to have any value in God's sight. It was He Who "confirmed the covenant with many for one week", first in person and then through them that heard Him (Hebrews 2:3 KJV)...

Jesus preached against immorality and the crucified Him for it. Do you expect that the preaching of truth today will have any different a reception? Do not Ms. Gessen and the rest of her godless ilk fashion themselves as "elites" - possessing intellect and ideas far above the ignorant masses...

The 70 Weeks were given by Gabriel to Daniel as the means not only to reveal the future of the Jews and Jerusalem, but also by which Daniel was to have "skill and understanding" regarding the only portion of chapter 8 prophecy which was not fully explained - the "vision" of the 2,300 Days. In...

Here is a video of Masha Gessen, one such homosexual elitest. It's only a couple of minutes long. Shocking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9M0xcs2Vw4

Just as the harmful, risky behavior of a cocaine addicted prostitute compels you to exercise your right to exclude such a person as someone to whom you want your children exposed, Christians have the right to discriminate against the same harmful, risky, Biblically unsanctioned lifestyle of...

Good gravy, man, did you even read the OP? This thread is not for debating each other about whether the Bible teaches OSAS, but how those on both sides of the issue are affected by their belief. Please read the OP.

My position is that, among many other proofs, OSAS is disproved by the parable of the Unmerciful Servant. That said, why should my salvation that is fully predicated on whether I abide in the Vine or not drive me to anxiety? True conversion awakens the desire to serve righteousness and resist...

That's OK, but I will add an addendum regarding the 70 Weeks. I don't see where 38 years is established b/c Paul's meeting is with Roman Jews, not those of Jerusalem, as well as the fact that Paul had already informed the Jews that the Gospel had been redirected to the Gentiles, the very...

The prophecy declares that the "woman" flees into the wilderness for 1,260 days (years). Literal Israel didn't flee anywhere for 1,260 years - at best, it can be argued that she fled for 1,878 years if one chooses to believe that God had a hand in the 1948 "rebirth" of literal Israel. However...

Marilyn, while I agree that the Jews did corporately reject the Messiah, I cannot see where Acts 28 can be that which marks this. Rather, the 70 Weeks which applied to the Jews as a nation is found expiring in 34 A.D., 3 1/2 years after the Cross, which is marked by the monumental event of God...

Paul's declaration that death cannot separate the saints from God is not a reference to the Second Death, because the saints are not subject to it. :rolleyes:Therefore, he's referring to the First Death, which cannot separate them. However, EX-SAINTS will very much be separated from God in...

Yes, the debt of the Unmerciful Servant was paid for by his lord, but because he chose to return to his service of Satan, that payment was withdrawn. "Therefore, if we sin willfully after receiving a knowledge of the truth, there is no more sacrifice for sin."

Of course it will never fail, but only for those who continually abide in that salvation, unlike the Unmerciful Servant who chose to return in the service of the devil, ATP.

No, post 512 is merely the convoluted thinking of a deceived person. There is nothing in the parable, nor in the rest of Scripture, to indicate that the 10,000 Talents represent anything other than what they do: the "sin debt" of the sinner, both in the beginning of the parable and the end of...
