I respect your opinions. :) I would appreciate you not foisting things (beliefs, claims, assertions, etc.) upon me that are false. There are many here, but, to wit: "Amil view the Day of the Lord as being between the Cross and the Second Coming. So, according to Amil, Paul was writing...

Yes, more and more folks are coming to Jesus by the day. :) Right, God's Israel, His temple. We are all being built together, on the foundation of the prophets and apostles, with Christ as the cornerstone (Ephesians 2). God is never concerned with literal buildings or structures. The Church...

Ah, "knowledge." Such a misunderstood term in the context of the Hebrew of the Old Testament and the Greek of the New... It would be helpful to see "knowledge" in the same light as "intimately acquainted with." Before the Fall of Genesis 3, Adam, having been created in the image of God, was...

Amillennialism doesn't deny this in any shape, form, or fashion. Wow. Grace and peace to you.

LOL! Fine, fine, all good. :) I believe the exact timing to be unimportant; frankly, I'm quite puzzled why it's such an issue to you (and others), unless you think there's some larger point to be made, some larger significance to this. The point is really that Noah did what the Lord...

LOL! Well, stones in the temple. And... well, I'd just say we can't really be sure of anyone but ourselves. That's what our faith is: God's assurance of things hoped for, and conviction, which can only come via the Holy Spirit, of things unseen (Hebrews 11:1). Donald... I don't even want to...

Well, I agree about the "destroying," and "bringing to nothing" (although we may understand a bit differently and/or what this destruction... bringing to nothing... really is), and that it will occur, once and for all, when the Lord returns. But not that he "cannot possibly be Satan." You...

Right, well, has and still is. Grace and peace to you, William Wallace (Braveheart reference)... :)

Many say that, yes. :) Much of Daniel, especially the latter half of Daniel, is of the apocalyptic literature genre, which is intensely metaphorical and filled with symbolism. This doesn't make it less literal, per se, but not woodenly so. Grace and peace to you, 777.

I'm not saying it's particularly antiquated in this specific passage, RD, but overall, it is, and in several passages particularly so. Again, it's not wrong, it's just harder for us because here we are many centuries later, and the English language has... evolved (although that's kind of a "bad...

Well I would exhort you this first... Put down your KJV and start reading the ESV (or maybe the NASB or NIV) instead. Not that the KJV is heretical or even says anything different, but because of the antiquated language can be misleading. Okay, back to our regularly scheduled programming...

Not one made of stones (or wood, or bricks, or any other literal building material), no. And the one that will be built is being built now. :) "Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made by hands, as the prophet says, ‘Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool. What kind of...

You know, Jesus was speaking of Himself when He spoke of the Temple (John 2:19). Is Donald John Trump... Jesus? And Paul tells us that all we in Christ are the Temple that God is building now (Ephesians 2:19-22), built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets with Jesus Himself as...

Others of particular interest: Chapter X Of Effectual Calling Chapter XIV Of Saving Faith Chapter XV Of Repentance unto Life Chapter XVI Of Good Works Chapter XVII Of the Perseverance of the Saints Just a magnificent document. Not the Bible, of course, but based on it through and through...

One thing... :) This from the Westminster Confession of Faith (with Scripture references): Chapter IX Of Free Will I. God has endued the will of man with that natural liberty, that is neither forced, nor, by any absolute necessity of nature, determined good, or evil. 204 204 MAT 17:12 But...

This has gone far enough, Spiritual Israelite. Now we are just circling back over (and over and over) the same things. Grace and peace to you.

And you've given examples where you think you've shown that it doesn't, it never does. Sure. We disagree. Continuing on... This is a mischaracterization of what I have said. All I have said is that only the few will ~ of their own free will and accord ~ accept it. You apparently see no...

ON FREE WILL "You are denying that! Either that or you don't even know what free will is." <eyroll> I get that it seems that way to you, but no... "You don't believe that all people are free to make the choice to either accept or reject Christ with each choice being a viable option for all...

GOD'S CALL, FAITH, AND SALVATION "Faith and works are not the same no matter how hard you try to make that so." I'm... not trying to do that at all, Spiritual Israelite. As I've said, our good works are the outward evidence of the faith we have. "Salvation occurs by grace through faith and...

Breaking this up to make it more manageable... :) FALLING AWAY "You are not accepting what it actually says." And I think the exact same of you, Spiritual Israelite. "That is a different context than Hebrews 3 and 6." It's not; it's very much the same. We disagree. "For someone to be among...
