    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    Give me a break. There isn't a last trumpet sound for each of us individually. There is only one last trumpet sound and when it sounds Paul said the dead will be resurrected and then we all will be changed at that time. Please do not try to give me this nonsense that it's not one corporate event...

    Ah, yes. The "general call" to repentance and belief and offer of salvation that goes out to everyone, but somehow can only be answered by relatively few.

    Okay, so go ahead and explain those terms as you think Calvin taught them or how you understand them (if you understand them differently than he did). Of course. We are saved by God's grace through faith. He wants to have mercy on all people (Romans 11:30-32). and that's why He offers salvation...

    Typical response from you. Deny, deny, deny. So, if she had been a worshiper of God for many years prior, which is entirely possible, then you would say she had been regenerated many years prior to hearing the gospel preached by Paul? If so, I don't think this is what a Calvinist typically...

    Translation: You have NOTHING to refute what I said. All you can do is act like a little child and call me names. You're just another babe in Christ who has a lot to learn. Oh no. How will I continue on without somoene who I just came across today who is unable to defend his doctrine beyond...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    We're talking about the body here. Don't change the subject. No one but Jesus will have an immortal body until the last trumpet sounds at His return. In the meantime, when a believer dies, their soul and spirit goes to be with the Lord in heaven. Paul talked about being absent from the body in...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    Are we playing scripture tag here? Why did you not address what I said? How can 1 Corinthians 15:42-54 be interpreted any other way except that we all will be changed to have incorruptible and immortal spiritual bodies at the same time when the last trumpet sounds? You can't just ignore what is...

    No one in the world can make any sense out of that gibberish.

    When exactly do you think Lydia's heart was regenerated? You're not addressing what Romans 1:18-32 indicates. Calvinists say that man is born totally depraved with total inability, right? Romans 1:18-21 says that no one has any excuse for suppressing the truth in unrighteousness and for not...

    70th Week and Day of the Lord are separate events.

    There is nothing in the prophecy itself that says every word within Daniel 9:24-27 had to be fulfilled withn the 490 years. It specifically says that about the six things listed in Daniel 9:24. It does NOT say that about the destruction of the city and the sanctuary. It does not say that there...

    70th Week and Day of the Lord are separate events.

    Can you tell me your understanding of the parable up to and including verse 7? Matthew 22:1 And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3 and sent out his servants to call those who were...

    The Prophetic Feasts of Israel

    Look at how you don't bother to address what I said. Is Acts 10:34-35 not in your Bible? Where will Jesus return? In the air (1 Thessalonians 4:14-17), after which the judgment will occur (Matthew 25:31-46) when the heavens and earth, as we know them pass away (Revelation 20:11) . But, you'd...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    No one but Jesus has an immortal spiritual body. Paul made it very clear that we will all be changed (all believers) at the same time when the last trumpet sounds. Only then will we have immortal spiritual bodies and the last trumpet hasn't sounded yet. You are in serious error with your full...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    It is you who is not understanding what we're saying. You tried to say before that if it was talking about physical destruction of the city and the sanctuary that would mean that it would have to be talking about a literal flood of water. We showed you that's not the case and you still aren't...

    You misunderstood the question. For one thing, that does not say that the Lord regenerated her heart. As you so often do, you are reading things into the scripture that aren't there. But, what I was meaning for you to address is whether or not her heart had been regenerated before anyone came to...

    In your view, regeneration involves God regenerating someone's hardened heart to make it so that they will repent and believe? Is that not correct? If so, do you claim that Lydia's heart was regenerated already even before hearing the gospel? Romans 1:18-21 makes it clear that no one has any...

    Do you claim that Lydia was born again before she heard the gospel (Acts 16:14)? Do you claim that her father was the devil before hearing the gospel despite the fact that she was already a worshiper of God before the gospel was preached to her?

    70th Week and Day of the Lord are separate events.

    So, what is your answer to my question? It's very difficult to get you to actually answer a question for some reason. It seems that you do not believe that the Bible prophesies the destruction of Jerusalem and the second temple anywhere. Is that correct? Yes or no, please. No, it clearly is...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    It's not my opinion. When someone keeps claiming that I'm a preterist even after being told many times that I'm not, then that person is lying about me. You have been told many times that a preterist is someone who believes that all or most of the Olivet Discourse, the book of Revelation as well...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    I've already told you I don't know how many times that I agree with your understanding of the passage in terms of who all of those references are talking about and you're still asking me this? I interpreting the references to Messiah the prince in verse 25 as well as the references to the...
