No, just how words are used and their implied meanings. First born has always been used to designate the first of at least 2 children. and other than an OT usage of adelphos as kinsmen and writings several centuries removed with common names in Israel it is all assumption. Once again the NT...

but as I am not talking about HIs resurrection, that is an irrelevant point. but Jesus did spend 50 days walking the earth after His resurrection.

are you saying Jesus' first coming he levitated while doing all the gospels have written? Proof? And when did Jesus second coming occur?

No, for I was talking about the kingdom of God/heaven (the same) and its use in Bible times, while you are addressing sin.

The fact you are a universalist is just a big a problem as yo9ur mothers works salvation. But if you are living in her home, you are under her authority and must obey her. I do not know what are in your handwritten gospel papers, but if you feel compelled to pass them out against your mothers...

Nowhere does this speak of Jesus landing on earth. It says we meet the Lord in the air and forever be with Him. Making a post rib rapture is done by combining similar words for dissimilar events and making them one. But instead of useless debating here, I will say this. Time will prove who...

stupid people proposing stupid things. Stap in, it is getting worse.

Haven't read all the responses so this may already be written. What we call hell is empty right now. the Biblical name is the Lake of Fire. When the lost die, they go the place of torments spoken of in the account of Lazarus and the rich man awaiting being cast into the Lake of Fire.

Actually teh saved are chosen before the foundation of the world so probation closed then. God is not intimate with the lost and knows them not so their probation is also closed.

Two reasons should suffice: Psalm 119:9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 3:15-17 King...

Actually, according to Scripture, believers are only jujdged by what they did in the name of Jesus (or religious works, or good works, whatever name one wishes to tag them with) If they were not done according to the Spirit, they are considered wood hay and stubble. If they are done according...

But that is way off topic and not germane to the thread and conversation we are having, though correct.

Go ask 100 people and get your answer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firstborn So show that Mary was barren after Jesus was born with Joseph regularly boinking her. Also please show how Mary had a sister called Mary in her family.

I need not- linguistic usage shows brothers is the primary meaning and unless is not applicable- applies. Strongs, thayers and other lexicons do not list adelphe and adelphoi with a sub definition of kinsmen vis a vis- cousin. https://studybible.info/strongs/G79...

Now you are going from a phrase about the long awaited kingdom promised to Israel, to what a sin is. that is apples and oranges

now you need to show why the same authots used syngenes for cousins instead of adelphos.

Mary, the mother of Jesus, did not have a sister; she was an only child1. However, there is a mention of a "Mary of Cleophas" in the Bible, who is referred to as Mary's sister2345. It is unclear whether this Mary of Cleophas is the same person as Mary, the mother of Jesus. According to some...

And where did Hegesippus get this supposed info.

Now I know many people think Jews are not very smart, but they are intelligent enough not to name two daughtees of the same parents "Mary".

Because He is called "firstborn" which by normal grammar and understanding explicitly means they are the first of at least two. go ask a dozen people if first born means there were most likely others. But not in context of our discussion but as a generic thought. when people have only one...
