    ANALYSIS OF MATTHEW 24:12-13 - WHY IT DISPROVES OSAS

    What was originally due him? 10,000 TALENTS. What was "all that was due him" after forgiveness was withdrawn? The same 10,000 TALENTS. What OSAS fails to understand is that we cannot give Scripture a "private interpretation", as in this case where the 10,000 Talents are illegitimately made to...

    ANALYSIS OF MATTHEW 24:12-13 - WHY IT DISPROVES OSAS

    No, but insisting that what Scripture calls "black" is "white" is twisting it. And insisting that "till he should pay all that was due him" is anything less than that - which is how your OSAS interpretation corrupts Scripture in order to establish it - is a textbook example of twisting...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    Let's look at this from a perspective of plain old, down to earth, common sense Christianity: In Galatians 6, Paul's entire focus is on Christ: the law of Christ (vs. 2) everlasting life by the indwelling Spirit of Christ (vs. 8) persecution by reason of the Cross of Christ (vs. 12) the glory...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    Kinda hard to accept that when Paul specifically refers to us as "the Israel of God".

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    Verse 26: "Israel" that is to be saved refers to the one and only existing "the Israel of God" - those who are in Christ - not those who refer to Jesus as "The Great Imposter" and "son of a whore". Verse 31: How did you and I obtain mercy? Corporately? No, individually. It is the same with...

    A Thief Named Cognitive Dissonance

    Professionals stand in pulpits every week convincing people everywhere to ignore Peter's description of the destruction that Jesus is bringing with Him when He comes "as a thief in the night" so that they may continue to be held fast ensnared in the false eschatology of Jesuit Futurism aka "Left...

    ANALYSIS OF MATTHEW 24:12-13 - WHY IT DISPROVES OSAS

    ATP, you can twist the Scripture all you want, but the latter debt of this man is EXACTLY the same as the debt he owed before he was forgiven, and there's no amount of rationalization can change that. What part of "till he should pay all that was due him" do you not understand? Is English your...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    The Antichrist hates everyone, else it wouldn't try to draw people away from the worship of God to itself. That's why it's called "Babylon" which in prophecy means "religious confusion", and the Papal Antichrist has everyone drunk on the wine of her false commandments and precepts. Wake up, bro...

    A Thief Named Cognitive Dissonance

    Cognitive Dissonance is perhaps the most notorious thief out there because what he's after is more precious than all the gold in the world: he's after our minds. When we read or hear something that is inconsistent with our long cherished beliefs, healthy skepticism and suspicion initially keep...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    Bro, the Antichrist is actually responsible for the confusion over who Israel is. The Papal Antichrist power in Rome, by virtue of the misguided Jesuit Francisco Ribera, is responsible for your belief that Israel in prophecy has to do with the "literal" descendants of Abraham rather than the...

    ANALYSIS OF MATTHEW 24:12-13 - WHY IT DISPROVES OSAS

    Jesus' parable of the Unmerciful Servant proves that there is no such thing as OSAS. He begged for mercy for his impossible debt and was granted full forgiveness of it (at great cost to his lord), but in refusing to cease from his sinful ways, he was condemned again by his lord to repay every...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    A brain, not an Antichrist spirit, is all that is needed to understand who Israel is, and it's got nothing to do with the people who still today call Jesus "The Great Imposter" and "son of a whore".

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    Paul calls the church, "the Israel of God". I think Christians should really ask themselves whether the Holy Spirit would inspire the Bible writers to refer to a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem where the resumed sacrificial system there would be an official, national middle finger in the face of...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    ATP, in order for the Holy Spirit to "guide you into all truth", He must first lead us out of error. Unfortunately, Cognitive Dissonance too often gets in the way of Him. For instance, you along with most other Christians believe that Jesus will come "as a thief in the night" to Rapture the...

    ANALYSIS OF MATTHEW 24:12-13 - WHY IT DISPROVES OSAS

    If you understood the Old Testament Sanctuary service, all of which pointed to Jesus the Lamb of God, you would not be so quick to excuse your sin because you would see from that service just how seriously God takes sin and how seriously and meticulously He is in dealing with it, and the final...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    ATP, only if Israel humbles itself, seeks God's face with their whole heart, and prays, does He promise to gather them back to the land. You know that. And until I pointed out to you that Israel had not repented of killing Jesus and therefore was not gathered by God, you believed it. Now, you...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    You know that there is not one instance in the Bible where God gathered an unrepentant Israel back to the land after He'd scattered them for apostasy. What makes us think that our UNCHANGING GOD would all of a sudden decide to turn a blind eye to the greatest sin Israel could ever commit - the...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    Brother, Jesus said we are sheep and Paul said we are lively stones, so I'll get a bunch of us together to build a wall and you can jump over us and we'll convert every insomniac on the planet. Unless, of course, Jesus and Paul were using symbolism, that it.

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    The Jews WERE brought back to their land - after the Babylonian captivity, by order of Artaxerxes in 457 B.C. They were also scattered again in 70 A.D. and replaced by "the Israel of God" - the church. The church is "the Israel of God" and OT prophecies that refer to "Israel" which are not yet...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    Brother, Jesus spoke the truth perfectly in love, yet He so offended those He loved that they nailed Him to a Cross. The truth has always received as good a welcome as the Author of it was received - a Cross. Since you're so impatient to tell me what might offend you and others, let me tell you...
