If tares are meaning the lost in general, it then contradicts the following, for example. It's not unreasonable that a practicing atheist, for example, can become saved if he or she were to denounce atheism and accept Christ instead. Obviously then, since that is perfectly reasonable, therefore...

I'm not really familiar with that concept, a dual fulfillment. I know what a 'type' means, but is that the same thing as a dual fulfillment? I'm guessing maybe no. I'm not stalking you, lol. I just can't figure out why, since you are not a Preterist, and that Preterists don't interpret Matthew...

In the Romans 1:8, Romans 16:25-26, and Colossians 1:5,6,23 passages you submitted earlier in this thread, there is zero mention of the 'end'(telos) in any of those verses nor in any of those chapters. Therefore, Paul is not interpreting Matthew 24:14 in any of those passages, you are. Except...

I don't agree with his interpretation of verse 14 and 15. At least he doesn't have Jesus being all over the place like your interpretation does. Your interpretation has Jesus focusing on the end of this age in verse 14 then in verse 15 He is once again focusing on events not even relevant to...

Now if only you could leave 70 AD out of some of these things. 70 AD can't explain everything.

You have things backwards. Judas is the son of perdition and that he is lost. In 2 Thessalonians 2 the 'Wicked' is meaning the man of sin, it is meaning the son of perdition. Look up the Greek word used for 'Wicked' in that chapter. In not one verse where that same Greek word is used elsewhere...

The context is the kingdom of God. Not everyone is in the kingdom of God. Certainly, satanists aren't, atheists aren't, nor are unbelieving Jews, to name a few. The only ones in the kingdom of God are the professed saved. Some interpreters apparently think everyone in the world are in the...

You prove without a doubt that it matters zero whether or not one can keep their emotions contained. Clearly, you can. No one denies that. But even so, still there are many of us that don't agree with you about everything you conclude. There are some in here that don't agree with anything you...

It's an AI, and that it can somewhat reason with you via interactions with it. Lately though, I'm not conversing with it that much anymore. But not that I was doing that all the time to begin with. I'm kind of burned out on that now. I'm thinking about using chatgpt for something else, such as...

Though, it is primarily about the end of the age, there are these parts, below. Why isn't verse 25 significant? Have you never even bothered to think about any of the following? Do you just interpret things sometimes, keeping in mind I said sometimes not all of the time, without actually...

Some interpreters simply don't get that if Jesus is using real world imagery to make a point, the point has to match the imagery used. Why does Jesus use real world imagery to begin with? Since He is the one that created man and provided man with common sense, He expects us to use it. He expects...

An interesting question to explore might be this. Do tares know they are tares? For example. If a tare equals a wolf in sheep's clothing, do they know they are a wolf in sheep's clothing?

Why can't you grasp that I am only arguing against that only OSAS is Biblical, NOSAS isn't? Are you seriously going to argue that OSAS is not Biblical? That there is not one single person once saved always saved, that every single saved person goes to hell? That's what it would mean if OSAS is...

Meaning the 1st and 2nd temple, obviously.

Can you point out in any of those passages where it ever says the end has come? We can't ignore that part in Matthew 24:14-----and then shall the end come.

The following, no person who believes that only OSAS is Biblical but NOSAS isn't, is going to be able to dispute the following below. Because if that one does or attempts to, it will clearly, undeniably, expose that person as purposely being deceitful and intellectually dishonest. One cannot...

I guess that's debatable about Judas then, in regards to whether he was initially saved or not. I mentioned him since I assumed everyone agrees that he wasn't in a saved state when he died.

What I basically mean is this. In order to be saved in the end one has to persevere unto the end. Meaning to the end of their life, or unto the 2nd coming. Whichever one might apply in their case. But if one falls away before they die and that they are in a fallen away state when they die, that...

Sometimes in order to arrive at the truth of something requires that there is an opposite to take into consideration. For example, the following. Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will...

What I believe is this. Both OSAS and NOSAS are Biblical rather than only one is the other isn't. That might sound contradictory, yet it isn't. Take Paul, for example. Obviously, OSAS is applicable to him since he remained in a saved state all the way up unto death. While OTOH, someone like...
