Okay, well, yes, that wording may be causing a bit of... ambiguity. This may be the disconnect between us. John used the word 'logos' for a very specific reason. You will probably agree with that, but in that day, people were searching for, wanting to know ~ and in most circles this is still...

I would think so, yes, three distinct Persons ~ Father, Son, and Holy Spirit ~ but together one God. Sure. This seems to be a contradiction of the first order, GodsGrace. Before answering, though... read on... Hmmm... Okay, and would you not add Jesus to this, God's Grace? And thus say...

Oh. My. Goodness. Wow. Well, I'm not sure whether to... ...or... Wow. Grace and peace to all.

Ah, well, even non-believing Jews were never really citizens of God's Israel. As Paul says, "not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but 'Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.' This means that it is not...

LOL! "Just one last thing..." Hmmm, okay, but, with all due respect, I could not care less. But thanks... I guess, because I couldn't care less about this, either... for letting me know that it bothers you, though. I wasn't. <smile> Grace and peace to you.

I don't even comment, for the most part, on what you say, except to correct the misconceptions ~ or false construing ~ of what I have said. Well, you don't seem to have any qualms about interjecting whenever I'm talking to someone else about some of these things. Which is fine, of course, but...

...because I won't agree with you. Yeah I get it... LOL! Yeah, I was sort of thinking two things at once and got my own wires crossed and just made a typing mistake (regarding premillennialism and dispensationalism). Sure. Admitting your mistakes; we normally call this humility...

Right, Good. And ethnicity is not the determinate of that. Right. Spiritually, of the Spirit. Not necessarily ethnicity. Right. But they are descendants of Jacob by the Spirit, not by the flesh. Thank you; the same to you. Peter did. <smile> I think that was just a mistake by...

Arminianism and provisionism... Right, I didn't say you didn't. And really, the tone in which you said what you said, I gathered that you were acknowledging at least some degree of similarity. I just said they were. You seem to be making it painful for yourself, really ~ reading things into...

It does, it just doesn't call it "true Israel," but the concept is unmistakable. Paul writes in Romans 9:6-8, that... "not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but 'Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.'...

Actually, in post 126 above, Spiritual Israelite, I missed that you actually had said "direct correlation," rather than "positive correlation," which is what I had said. The two are different. Since then we've been missing each other. So again, yes, I do agree with you that there is no direct...

So glad to hear you are at least somewhat geographically astute. Me, too. <smile> But God's true Israel is a people, and they ~ we ~ will inherit the earth. <smile> Grace and peace to you.

In your opinion. Okay, we can agree to disagree, I think, right? Sure. That was not my insinuation. Absolutely. This is not something to argue about, but I think that's kind of backwards... unless you're saying that not all dispensationalists are premillennial; premillennialism is a subset...

Not in God's economy. You might take a look at Romans 2:28-29, and Romans 9-11 ~ specifically 9:6-8 and 11:25-26. And Galatians 3:26-29, and Ephesians 2:11-22. You might consider what the land promise really is, as Jesus proclaims it in Matthew 5:5. Yes, of the Spirit, as Paul speaks of in...

That seems to me a problem, but fair enough. Neither do I. No, that's not it. <smile> Your manner of "conversation" is very, very abrasive. And not just with me. <smile> Ah, okay. <smile> Grace and peace to you.

It seems a simple question to me, CAZ. Who is Israel? Well, Jews, I presume you would answer. If so, okay, then, who are God's true Jews? You know, just one other comment... And this is not particularly directed at you or anyone else, specifically, but there is so much, shall we say...

Okay, well stop understanding that, because that's not what I do at all; never would I do such a thing. Well, if you say that, then I say you're not really hearing what I'm saying. Dude. I said that was a tongue-in-cheek thing. Goodness gracious. Not something to be flippant about...

The positive correllation of Calvinists and Amillennialists is not false at all. Calvin didn't write a lot on eschatology and Revelation, not because he was not reformed in his understanding of it ~ he was one of the chief reformers, you know ~ but because that wasn't the issue that he focused...

I do, actually. However... and this is a really big 'however'... <smile> Huge, actually... <smile> He or she will return, having never truly departed, but only ~ for a time ~ thinking he or she had. We are kept in the power of God... which you agree with, I know... and even our faith is a...

No, I'm most certainly not... <smile> That's the second, with regard to the first and second as portrayed in Revelation 20. The resurrection he's speaking of there corresponds with the second resurrection of Revelation 20. As I have said, this same Paul clearly talks about another kind of...
