11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. 12 So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, b]">[b]take him...

Mat. 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 invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. 4 Again, he sent out...

The Pharisees were condemned by Jesus for making unsubstantiated claims about their spiritual condition. They claimed to be able to see...when they were as blind as bats. Does that kind of thing still happen? I would say more so now than then. AND...we live in a time where Jesus is knocking...

If a little leaven leavens the whole batch....what is a lot of leaven doing to this thread? Just sayin'

I was hoping that the quiet and respectful attitude of the OP would inspire a kind of discussion that mature adults...let alone Christian adults...engage in. Very disappointed with the bad attitude some cannot shake. You will know them by their LOVE...not wanky doctrines.

You have not the understanding to interpret any of these verses. You make stuff up and then accuse others of being sloppy. If you are not an expert in Hebrew you can't even begin to peel back the layers of meaning in prophecy. Pride is not the same as knowledge and understanding.

Such gall. You have it backwards as usual. How can you expect anyone to take you seriously? And you go about it in your regular demeaning way. But you have exposed just how far off you are. Show any biblical evidence that there are 2 Jerusalems in eternity. That is more far-fetched then even the...

All organized religion... Babel is the same as Babylon. In the Hebrew they are identical. When people came together to build the great tower of Babel....they said..."let us make a name for ourselves". So anything that men have named...ministries , churches...etc..is Babylon. It is the attempt...

Faith is not the same as belief. Faith has power to do miraculous things. Whereas belief is a mere opinion...albeit religious and stubbornly held to. The Islamic extremists are an example of a tenacious religious belief...that many Christians also adopt....but only according to a different...

This is NOT there in Scripture and can only be discovered by those who accept man made systems of theology.

The denial of the kingdom of God NOW makes you a dispie. The belief that the gospel of grace is different from the gospel of Christ makes you a dispie. The belief that Jews will have a new gospel preached to them (different from the gospel of grace)...makes you a dispie. But to believe that...

What is spiritual now...will become physical in the next age. That's why we strive to enter into that world now...while we can advance in the kingdom life. The heavenly Jerusalem is coming down from heaven....to reveal the saints who are walking there NOW. :)

I also believe in a rapture and a millennial rule. But that doesn't make me a dispensationalist.

I am talking about what this doctrine does for people. It causes them to be unfruitful in the things of God...to remain unspiritual.

And some are as big as skyscrapers.

Another biggie that dispies refute is the kingdom of God. That is huge as we are to seek it first. So if you believe it is only in the future....how do you seek the future? So then dispies ignore the gospel of the kingdom saying that it has been replaced by the gospel of grace....for now. Then...

We all want as many people as possible to be saved. But the danger in not seeing the spiritual nature of the kingdom...is that many will not be qualified to enter in based on a lack of knowledge about that preparation. No one goes to the cross by choice....you have to believe it is necessary...

The key to understanding eschatology is looking at things from a spiritual, rather than a natural perspective. And this is especially true concerning Israel. The church is the lost sheep of Israel. The gospel is first to the Jews and then to the nations. There is One gospel. One Bride. One...

All Israel is the Gentiles added to the Jews....not the Jews added to the Gentiles. When the fullness of the Gentiles comes is...then all of Israel will have been saved.

Righteousness is to DO the right thing. It doesn't mean to be sinless...but rather to act with love and good intent. It is honest and innocent of evil intent. Sometimes it means to believe something...from good faith...but mainly to do something. The second main commandment...to love others...is...
