You speak a lot of nonsense. There is no "replacement theory" except in your imagination. You said yourself that there are two Israels, right? With one being spiritual Israel? Look at the description of spiritual Israel in Romans 9:6-8. It is made up of those who are the children of God and of...

Some of them will, as has always been the case, and some won't, as also has always been the case. Many misunderstand the following verse... Romans 11:23 they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. Dispenationalists and other...

You are all over the place here. You get some things right and some very wrong. You are acting as if all of the natural branches (Israelites) were cut off. No. Not true. Paul spoke of an elect remnant of believers at that time which included himself. They were not cut off. They remained in the...

Are you even trying to understand my points? It seems like you are giving ZERO effort to understand them. Of course I believe that the repentant thief on the cross, along with all dead believers, are with Jesus in paradise. How does that equate to them standing before Christ on His judgment seat...

You did not. At all. Not even close. You think some naturally reject the gospel and had no ability to accept it since only God could give that to them. This would include those who have no excuse for suppressing the truth in unrighteousness and for not glorifying God and being thankful to Him...

You are completely ignoring my arguments and not addressing them. Are you afraid to actually address them? You're clearly willing to change your mind about some things like you did about Judas being saved, so why are you so closed minded about this? Look at the context of Romans 10:17. Paul...

Explain to me how it would be better for a saved person to not have been born? Not being born is obviously not better than salvation. That's an irrelevant question. Are you even trying to see my point? Again, 1 John 2:19 refers to people who were never saved as leaving John's circle of...

Show me where scripture ever says that salvation does not require our faith and if it did, it would mean we could boast about it as something we did to merit salvation. There are scriptures which say that salvation is by God's grace and not by our works (Ephesians 2:8-9), but none that say it is...

That is not what scripture teaches. Scripture teaches that faith comes from hearing the word (the gospel) and accepting it, not from being given a new heart/spirit. Romans 10:14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have...

How can you think that His throne in Matthew 25:31-46 is different than His judgment seat? That makes no sense. Did you not see what I had said about Romans 14:10-12? You obviously don't understand what Paul said in that passage. Romans 14:10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost...

No one has yet appeared before Him when He is on His judgment seat/throne. Jesus Himself clearly said that all people will be gathered before Him AT THE SAME TIME and then each of them will have to give an account of themselves to Him, as Paul said all people will have to do in Romans 14:10-12...

What do you mean by that? Are you just not able to communicate clearly or you don't want to do that? Do I see what with Noah and Lot? What does this have to do with what we're talking about? Yes, of course. I never said otherwise. Go ahead and keep talking to your strawman if you want, but...

You have to be kidding me. How is it speculation that someone Jesus said would've been better off never having been born possibly saved? There's no need for speculation here. The statement Jesus made that it would have been better for Judas to never have been born has nothing to do with...

I've only told you that several times before already, but sure. Here is why... John 6:70 Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?” 71 He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would betray Him, being one of the twelve. I don't...

Hello? You are clearly wrong about this. Is Matthew 25:31-46 not in your Bible? Do you think the goats who get cast into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels are saved?! Clearly not! And Jesus indicates that He will be talking to them on that day. He will take vengeance...

Unbelievers will also stand before the judgment seat of Christ, as Matthew 25:31-46 makes very clear. Romans 14:10-12 implies that as well by referencing an Old Testament passage (Isaiah 45:22-24) which has unbelievers bowing down to Christ as well at His judgment seat.

Yes, and part of the truth of the story is that believers will be rewarded in some way based on how they served Christ. That is a reward beyond the eternal life that we all will be given at that time. Of course, it's only for those who have received the Holy Spirit. I never said otherwise...

I never said that it's from our own good works. But, we are responsible to submit ourselves to God to allow Him to work through us. He doesn't force Himself on anyone. That's what Calvinists like you don't understand. You think people are just puppets or robots that God uses to do as He pleases...

Yes, you answered by responding to a strawman instead of responding to anything I said. I said NOTHING about Paul talking to any unsaved people in 1 Corinthians 3. Unfortunately, your reading comprehension skills are very poor, as is the case for most people on this forum. That what isn't going...

Who said anything about giving glory to ourselves? Not me. If our Lord wants to reward us and tell us "Well done, thou good and faithful servant", why is that a problem for you? It isn't about our righteousness, but God expects us to serve and obey Him and that doesn't happen automatically. We...
