How many times do I have to tell you that I'm talking about what is the case for those who are the children of the kingdom? You and I are children of His kingdom right now, correct? Are we not in the world right now? Of course we are. But, are we of the world? No. We are of His kingdom instead...

It's work in the sense that it's something we are required to do (Acts 16:30-31), but it is not the kind of work of which someone can boast about or else it would not be true that we are saved by grace through faith but not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9). Think about it. What is faith? It is the...

Look here, little guy. If someone doesn't want to talk to you, then that is his choice. There's no need for you to beg him like an attention starved little boy to keep talking to you.

Would you say these things you're talking about are a sign that Jesus's return is near? Scripture does talk about a time of increased deception and wickedness just before He returns (Matthew 24:9-13, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12). Maybe you could talk about this from that perspective to make it...

Grow up. He clearly indicated that he doesn't want to talk to you anymore and you are childishly begging for him to do so by trying to bait him. Are you that lonely, insecure and starved for attention that you need to try to bait him to talk to you despite him clearly not wanting to talk to you...

Christ's enemies don't become His footstool until they've all been defeated and the last enemy to be defeated is death (1 Cor 15:26). So, that means He reigns at the right hand of the Father until death is defeated at which point all of His enemies, including death, will be made His footstool...

Nowhere does it say that Jesus separates from the Father at His second coming. At His first coming He had to separate from the Father in the sense that the Father could not die for our sins since it is not possible for the Father to die. That separation caused Jesus, as man, to have anxiety...

I agree with this. Jesus being at the right hand of the Father is an expression of His position in relation to the Father. He is not below the Father, He is on equal standing with the Father. As He said, all power in heaven and earth was given to Him (Matthew 28:18). His standing as being equal...

No, it does not. What it reveals is what Jesus talked about elsewhere. The wheat are in the world, but not of the world. John 17:13 “I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. 14 I have given them...

Right. I agree completely. How can anyone deny that the reason that the ones who rejected Jesus did not do so because they could not accept Him due to their supposed "total depravity", but rather they did so because they would not accept Him, implying that they were capable of accepting Him and...

Have you not read Jesus's explanation of the parable? He is talking about the world because the wheat and tares are both in the sower's field and Jesus said that the field represents the world. Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a...

Hmmm. We need to not draw conclusions just from selective cherry picked verses, but instead from all of scripture. John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the...

Well, I'm clearly not an Arminian then, even though you have called me that in the past, since I have often made it a point to show that faith is not a work. Faith is contrasted with works in scripture in terms of it not being the type of work of which we can boast about. We are saved by grace...

That is true, and I did acknowledge that his view could be true even though I don't currently believe that it is. It would obviously be hypocritical of me to try to say that his view wasn't even possible. Obviously, it is since the text does not specifically indicate how long after verse 29 is...

I don't think you are understanding his argument. I'm pretty sure that he is not arguing that "this" does not act as an adjective to "genea". However, what I believe he is arguing is that Jesus is saying, in effect, "this same generation that I just described" (in the previous verse) will not...

What are you talking about exactly? ? I did say what I thought you "seemingly" were implying, so that means I wasn't 100% sure you were implying that. So, I misunderstood you? If so, what was the reason you asked me why I left out the word "immediately" when what I was saying didn't have...

That's what I thought it was about because you've said similar things in relation to that before. Just wanted to make sure. But, no one is really addressing what you were intending to address, it seems. I have talked to you about this topic before enough already and I know we'll likely never...

Because it had nothing to do with the point I was making. My point was not in relation to how soon "after the tribulation of those days" that the sun would be darkened and so on, but rather that it would occur after the tribulation of those days rather than during the tribulation of those days...

The word "millennium" means "a thousand years". So, can you please use a different word to describe what you're talking about in order to avoid confusion? If I was using a word that was causing you to be confused in relation to what I was talking about and you asked me to use a different word...
