I was not repeating an earlier question. Methinks it's you that should go back and reread carefully... :) It's not a matter of believing anything you might have said. I was asking you to comment on the explanation (Biblical explanation, at least in my mind) that I submitted to you, and if...

LOL! No, right, and... well, we'll just say mistaken. :) And, heresy is never a good thing... :) Grace and peace to you, MI.

Such a nice avoidance of the questions... Really, though, the silence is deafening... :) Grace and peace to you, Rich.

He will not allow for what Paul says to the Philippians, that He laid aside His position as the second Person of the Godhead for our sake, that even though He was (and is) God in the flesh, He completely disregarded His deity for our sake ~ and it is in this sense that He could say the Father...

See, I disagree with you here, Rich. Let me ask you a question. Which comes first in a person, belief or faith? Before you answer this, read all the way to the end of this post. :) At any rate, you might also remember what Paul says in Romans 9:16-18, that it depends not on human will or...

Moses had faith, just like folks today do. People were not called "Christians" in his day, and not until believers in and followers of Christ until the first century A.D., and even then, the term was not first coined by Christians. See Acts 11:26... Jesus's disciples were first called...

Absolutely. I'm really quite surprised by that question... Moses was certainly a Jew. And Moses most certainly wrote about Christ Jesus... prophesied about Him, starting in Genesis 3:15. Christ Jesus, as surely you know, said everything Moses wrote was about Him ("...if you believed Moses...

Ah, you continue to paint with such a broad brush... No, as I've said before, there are good "OSAS teachers," and then there are bad "OSAS teachers." To explain: There is a sense in which we are saved (it is an assurance of God and thus a certainty), but also a sense in which we are being...

Well, I think it's that they somehow think "OSAS" is some sort of license to continue sinning willfully... and to continue in disobedience... which is quite ridiculous connection to make. :) And, at the very least, they think the gifts and the calling of God are revocable, which is in direct...

Well, I don't think Scott is advocating any kind of replacement, so there's that right off the bat. If he is, then he's mistaken, but I don't think so. But sure, you are certainly forgiven for that... :) All in Christ are of God's Israel, yes, but this does not exclude ethnic Jews throughout...

Right. Good. If you had been more explicit in what you said, all of this could have been avoided. Hmmm... not very convincing... LOL! Goodness gracious. Grace and peace to you.

LOL! Neither do I! Dispensationalism is... well, it's just goofy. :) I... don't even know what this means... LOL! With the fact that you say there are not two resurrections. My goodness. If you agree with everything I just said in my previous point, then we're good. It's probably a good...

Sure. The Kingdom has existed since His first advent. Don't you agree? Well, sure, but as I've said ~ and I think you agree ~ the millennium... and His millennial reign, will be over at His second advent. I mean, He will still be King ~ He will always be our King ~ but the millennium, the...

I'm not arguing anything, M3n0r4h. I do recognize ~ and did even before I replied to you ~ that you and I are not far apart, and maybe fairly close together in our understandings of God's Word. Great. Yes, I thought I was understanding that. Yeah, good. Hm. Right, and what I'm saying is...

The only physical resurrection, yes. Right, and this is the first resurrection. Paul talks about it in Ephesians 2, Peter talks about it in 1 Peter 1, and this is what John "sees" in his Revelation (20:4-6). If all the rest are physically raised prior to ~ or during, which is really the case...

Yes and no... in this case ~ and many other cases throughout Scripture, especially in Moses and the Prophets, it means there is a lesser (immediate) and a greater (ultimate). Two other very appropriate examples are: ...what God promised Moses in the Mosaic Covenant, the Law, the Ten...

Okay, I'm good with that. But just to clarify in case what I said conveyed any misunderstanding... There will be a rapture, just not a removal of anyone from anything. God never promises ~ or indicates that He will ~ remove us from anything... ever. But God does promise, over and over again...

For now... :) But the discussion here is concerning the final Judgment, as depicted in various ways in various places, namely Matthew 25:31-46 and Revelation 20:11-15, at the conclusion of which the wicked, who will not stand in the judgment (Psalm 1), depart from Jesus in obedience (Matthew...

Well... I just didn't put it in, because I thought what I had sufficient, and maybe somewhat because Revelation 20 presents... problems... for some folks... :) Preaching to the choir, here, RWB... :) I might quibble with this a bit. Those standing at the right hand of Christ will already have...

Well, some will not have died; there will be some who are still alive when Jesus returns. Disagree. Grace and peace to you.
