(2 Peter 2:1) gives you the context of who is being addressed. "denying the Lord that bought them". Pretty simple. They are not Christian. Even our witness to others of Christ brings salvation or damnation. To one we are the savour of life unto life. To the other we are a savour of...

Your grocery lists don't bother me because I don't pay attention to them. (2 Peter 2:1) is clear. These are not Christians. "denying the Lord that bought them". See? Stranger

I was hoping some fighting breaks out on the temple mount and they blow the dome of the rock to kingdom come. Stranger

BreadOfLife Save your grocery lists for another, as I have told you before. (2 Peter 2:1) is clear. It is addressed to false teachers and prophets. They are not saved. Stranger

The title of this thread, " This section shows how much you love God", sets a wrong tone from the very start. As if I or another believer are in competition as to who loves God more. Or, I can prove I love God more because I do certain things. Seems very shallow. A certain truth was...

The parable states in (Luke 12:37), " Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. Peter asked, (Luke 12:41), "...Lord, speakest thou this...

There are not two parables here. The parable is (Luke 35:-40). If you cannot understand what the parable is then how can you hope to interpret it? The parable is (35-40). The explanation is (41-48). And you offer nothing to what I have said other than you don't believe in pre-trib...

No, you don't get David. You're too busy being 'great after God'. You're too busy casting out demons and healing people as you walk down the street...watching those limbs grow back out. Sure. You don't get David at all. David was a sinner and knew it. And God knew it. But David...

My point was that Jesus gave the parable first and then Peter asked the question. Something you...missed. (Matt.12:37) disagrees with you. The parable says, "Blessed are those servants". If you reread my post you will see that I have considered and explained what it means to be assigned a...

These are those who were never believers. They were false teachers. (2 Peter 2:1). Stranger

I don't know what you mean by saying I have made the error in saying the parable is speaking to all. I have made distinction in the Church and those servants on earth. The parable is not addressed to just one individual steward. It simply says who that faithful steward is. (Luke 12:42)...

I appreciate your encouraging words. Stranger

Actually, this parable begins in (Luke 12:35-40). Then Peter questioned the Lord as to who this parable is directed to. (41) To which Christ responded. (42-48). So the main point I would say is found in verse (36). " And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will...

So, based on your choice of subject, how much do you love God? Stranger

One will have the same view of, or interpret the 'millennium', as they do the 'kingdom of God'. I see the millennium as a literal, yet future, 1000 year reign of Christ on earth, with Jesus Christ physically present in Jerusalem ruling over Israel who in turns rules over the other nations...

"By Grace" Sounds good. I always keep two important quotes in mind. "Yea hath God said" and "It is written". Stranger

No it's not. Paul's letters and the whole Bible are written for all believers, in all times. Just like Job, Paul's letters are to a real people and real churches that really did exist. They are not allegorical. They may contain an allegory. But that doesn't make them allegorical. Your...

If you're going to interpret the Bible allegorically, then you view the Bible as an allegory. What is that supposed to mean when you say that you or allegorical interpretation does not discount other methods? Does that mean you don't know what to believe? You don't know what is true and...

The first thing that must occur is for people to slowly get used to the idea of a mark on their right hand or forehead as being normal. When the beast decides to institute such a program, he is not going to stand up and say 'I am the beast' and then quote (Rev. 13:16-17) and order everyone to...

Howdy, pleased to meet you. But, if the Seed of the woman is a 'who', shouldn't we expect the seed of the serpent to be a 'who'. I feel like Dr. Seuss. In other words, satan was definitely behind the serpent and used the serpent. And it is to satan that this prophecy is given. It is to...
