Do you have a problem with Paul Christianizing the OT prophecies by saying that the promises God made to Abraham and his seed apply to Jesus and those who belong to Jesus (Galatians 3:16-29)? Do you have a problem with Paul Christianizing the OT prophecies about the inheritance of Israel by...

You are very confused. You are trying to equate Sheol with the bottomless pit? That is wrong. They are not the same. Also, Sheol and the grave are not the same. The grave is simply anywhere under the ground where people's dead bodies are buried. That's not where people's souls are. Your apparent...

No, I was complaining that you posted a scripture without giving any indcation as to why you posted it. So, all I could do was guess. Imagine if all we did was quote scripture back and forth. Do you think that would be a fruitful discussion when we're left to guess as to why the other person...

You are constantly misrepresenting what I believe. It makes it impossible to take you seriously when you have such horrible reading comprehension skills. I don't replace "the definition of Israel with another definition of Israel". That was a false statement. Just one of many that you make on a...

Have you ever read the book of Hebrews? In Hebrews 8 it talks about how the old covenant was inferior to the new covenant and that is why the old covenant with its animal sacrifices and many burdensome rituals needed to be made obsolete and the superior new covenant established by the blood of...

You mentioned "saved nations", so I thought that implied you thought there was also unsaved nations. I don't personally think it's referring to nations at all. The Greek word "ethnos" has several definitions and "nations" is just one of them. I think it's just referring to saved people in...

What was your reason for posting this exactly? Did you expect me to determine that by reading your mind?

If I'm understanding your right, you're basically saying that you believe neither Amil nor Premil can be true. Does this mean you are now a Postmil? I don't know what other options there can be. Do you believe that Jesus will return before or after the thousand years? It has to be one or the...

I'm not understanding your point here. Don't you believe that the end of all things will occur on the day of the Lord that Peter wrote about in 2 Peter 3:10-12? What does it matter what he calls it there? The end of all things, if we understand "all things" to refer to the heavens, the earth...

Jesus did not refer to the end of the old covenant in the Olivet Discourse. He referred to the end of the temple buildings and things that people identified with the old covenant, but the old covenant itself ended upon His death and He did not refer to His death in the Olivet Discourse...

I believe you are not looking at the context of the verse. Paul associated "the end" in there directly with the day that the Lord Jesus Christ is revealed at His second coming. So, the context has to do with God keeping us firm, not only to the end of our lives (if that comes before Jesus...

I don't understand this argument at all. Why are you thinking that there was only one word that He could use? There are multiple words that have the same meaning. There are multiple words that can be used to refer to "the end". And, I showed you examples where "telos" is used to described His...

You obviously don't read what is said carefully at all, as evidenced by you bringing up things from the Old Testament to a discussion about how things are in New Testament times. The discussion is about what is true now and has been true in New Testament times. Nationality no longer mattered...

We'll just have to agree to disagree on this then. I don't see that He had to only use one certain word that means "the end" to refer to the end of the age.

That is not necessarily the case. Both words mean "the end", so there is no rule that when referring to the end of the age Jesus could only use one word to refer to it.

Actually, it seems like you are confusing me with rwb since he seemed to argue that "the end" Jesus referenced came at the cross. WPM is arguing that the old covenant ended at the cross, which we all agree with, but he is not arguing that "the end" Jesus referred to was what happened at the...

Are you saying you think "telos" never refers to the second coming? If so, I disagree. 1 Corinthians 1:7 Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. 8 He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day...

What Scripture and you are saying to who? To rwb? I was addressing his beliefs in that post.

What? No, I am not. Not even close. Are you sure you're reading my posts carefully? I have repeatedly said that "the end" refers to the end of the age which I believe will occur when Christ returns in the future. I didn't say that Jerusalem was the old covenant. Are you sure you're not...

No, that is not what I'm claiming. I have clarified what I'm claiming more than once so it's not even possible that you are reading everything that I'm saying carefully. What I'm claiming is that ruling/shepherding with a rod of iron relates to destruction rather than what you might normally...
