Hi Wormwood, Your words: "Notice how Paul speaks of the "promises" made to Abraham. He doesn't just have one particular promise in mind, but all of the promises God made to Abraham were ultimately about Christ." Not meaning to offend but I believe your interpretation is much broader in scope...

Hi Wormwood, The word 'seeds" is never used in the bible as a description of generations only as plant starters. The word "seed" referring to generations is BOTH singular and plural similar to deer, moose and sheep. Believing that every time it is used in a prophecy, it is referencing Christ...

Hi Retro, Resonse to post #54 Your words: “Sorry, but you're mixing metaphors (parables), which is just a bad way to communicate! You're mixing the "Olive Tree" with the "Vine." (John 15.) That's a different parable for a different purpose. Look at Romans 11 ONE MORE TIME in context: The main...

Hi Wormwood, I would tend to agree with your assessment if there were only one covenant, but there are more than one. The old or Sinaitic covenant of Ex. 19:5 - "Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people...

Hi Wormwood, Your words: "Your hermeneutics essentially says that some stuff was about Jesus, but some future stuff really was all about Israel. My point is that Israel's entire function as a whole was to usher in the Christ and foreshadow his work! Dispensationalism does complete violence to...

Hi Wormwood, Your words: "Because Israel is merely a foreshadowing of Christ. The sacrifices were merely a foreshadowing of the one true sacrifice. All of the Law and Prophets point to Jesus (not just some). I think this verse in Matthew makes it clear that this is how the inspired author saw...

Hi Retro, Your words: “On these points, I will VEHEMENTLY disagree! These are "game-changers!" First of all, Isra'el was DEFINITELY looking forward to the Messiah as the One who would bruise the serpent's head although it would cost Him a bruised heel! …The Torah is FULL of such prophecies...

Hi Wormwood, Of course I'm aware of the typologies used in the OT. I even wrote an article here on the typology of the feasts of Israel and another one on the spiritual promises to Israel that came to their fruition w/ the NT church, to refute the idea of replacement theology. The problem is...

Hi Retro, Response to post #49 Your words: “Second, as far as only 2 resurrections are concerned, those are the 2 (or 3) that we are TOLD about! Remember Yeshua`s words (same incident, two accounts):” I concede there were more than a couple of resurrections. I’m aware of the OT ones but we...

Hi Retro, Response to part 2 Your words: You said, "I do not believe that Christ's sacrifice was retroactive." How could it NOT be?! "For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins," said the author of Hebrews (Hebrews 10:4). How could they look forward to...

Hi Retro, Okay, this isn’t fair! :( I gave you a ¾ - 1 page response and you fire back with THIRTEEN PAGES!!! Really, you need to find a way to be more direct! There are different kinds of resurrections for different purposes. The resurrections that Christ performed were to act as proof of...

Hi Wormwood, Give me three examples please to further clarify your position.

Hi Dani, No disrespect intended, but I believe in the literal interpretation of the bible. Yes, for believers some of what you say is true in a "spiritual sense" but I believe there will be an actual physical fulfillment as well.

Hi Retro, Some interesting points indeed. Your words: "Will they be resurrected for the Millennium?" Imo, they were resurrected with Christ. They are enjoying their immortal, incorruptible bodies as we speak and their lot is in heaven, not on earth. I don't believe they would want to come back...

Hi Retro, And peace shall rain in the valley of christianityboard.com. I had a comment on something you wrote in post #18 but a "cease fire" has been declared so we live to "sharpen iron" another day and God Bless You as well! BTW, Dr Suess would love to have my imagination!

Hi Dani, Is. 66:6 - "A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the Lord that rendereth recompence to his enemies." Ez. 43:7 - "And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the...

Hi Retro, I believe I do remain true to the scriptures. Scripture never said I would drive a red car or fly in a plane. They never proclaimed most of any historical events in modern history, so should I deny the reality just because the scriptures don't speak about them?!! Your world view is way...

Hi Retro, Marcus is right. Those are all for the living inhabitants of the millennium, not for us immortals. I never said we wouldn't eat or drink. I said we won't NEED to.

Hi Retro, Yes, 1 Co. 2:9 is speaking both of a near fulfillment we receive in our walk with Christ, but it is also speaking of a future fulfillment when all will be revealed. We only are shown what we need to know as we grow in Christ. All knowledge is NOT imparted to us upon salvation. Your...

Hi Up, Your words:"Having eternal bodies does not necessarily mean that we won't consume anything in the age to come. Why otherwise would there be a tree of life in the new Jerusalem bearing "fruit"? And why did Adam and Eve need to eat anything before transgressing the law of sin and death?" I...
