Again, your opinions alone don't cut it. Back them up with scripture if you want to be taken seriously.

What are you talking about? Has that already happened? No. So, it's not the present tense. Of course it is. It hasn't happened yet. That's how you interpret it, but Psalm 2:7-9 and Revelation 19:15-18 associate the ruling with a rod of iron directly with Jesus destroying His enemies. Good for...

You need to learn what it means in relation to ruling with a rod of iron. It's not hard. Just read Psalm 2:7-9 and Revelation 19:15-18. I don't see any shepherding being described in those passages. But, do you take that into account? Not at all.

There is plenty of violence associated with that word when it's done with a rod of iron. Context doesn't seem to mean anything to you. You seem to completely ignore the context in which it talks about Jesus ruling with a rod of iron in Psalm 2:7-9 and Revelation 19:15-18. Those passages very...

I wouldn't say "partial fulfillment" is the right term because that implies that it only has a partial fulfillment and never has a complete fulfillment. That's not what I believe. I think of it as having an ongoing fulfillment. It started on the day of Pentecost has had an ongoing fulfillment...

Please back up your claims with scripture. Just sharing your opinions without backing them up with scripture doesn't mean anything to me.

Nice try, but there's no reason to take you seriously when you won't even say what you think that promise is. If only you knew how ridiculous you come across when you play ludicrous mind games like this. Like you're a little child saying "I know something you don't know!". Bible discussion isn't...

What a load of nonsense. Why not give him a chance to be like the Bereans who took what they were taught and looked things up for themselves to see if it was true or not? In this case, he can't even do that because you won't tell him what you believe about this.

Why do you need to play games instead of you just making your point?

No, when someone says something that everyone except that person knows is complete nonsense, then I call it out as such. I don't believe there is another person in the world who would agree with you that Paul changed the subject from Romans 9:24 to verse 25. So, you need me to spell this out for...

I meant that his main focus is spiritual because he's talking about spiritual salvation throughout Romans 9-11. You are not getting that Paul was speaking in the present tense in Romans 11:11-14. When he said he wanted to provoke some of his fellow Israelites to jealousy, do you think he was...

I couldn't agree more. There's no reason to be so hesitant to share a doctrine if you feel confident that it's true. I'm not sure why he clings so tightly to a doctrine that he apparently has no confidence in.

Yes, indeed. I mean, is the following not clear that physical DNA has absolutely nothing to do with being part of the Israel of God and being a child of God and Abraham's offspring? I believe it is. Romans 9:6 It is not as though God’s word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel...

This is ridiculous. How can anyone believe that you don't intend for him to guess what you're thinking when you won't just say it? We are adults here. We don't need to play games like this. If you make your point and he rejects it, so what? We reject your points all the time. You say the...

Of course. Where is there any indication that the new covenant would only be partially in effect at any point? It's either fully in effect or not at all. Would you agree that it makes no sense for it to ever only be partially in effect? It does not say that. That is your false interpretation of...

Gimmicks? You call other scripture which shows the new covenant as currently being in effect and applying to both Jew and Gentile believers gimmicks? Give me a break. Let me ask you something. If New Testament passages like Galatians 3:16-29 weren't written, would we know that the promises God...

Was Paul mistaken when he indicated that the new covenant is currently in effect when he talked about he and other disciples, including Gentiles, being ministers of the new covenant (2 Cor 3:6)? Hebrews 8:6 But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of...

It has to do with that because of things like the promises God made to Abraham and his seed. The promises seemed to be made to Abraham and his physical descendants, yet Paul made it clear that they were made to Christ and those who belong to Christ (Gal 3:16,29). So, if something like that...

Why is this necessary to spell everything out to you? Scripture makes it clear that the new covenant was put into effect by the blood of Christ and that both Jew and Gentile Christians are expected to observe the Lord's supper in remembrance of Christ's death and the blood of the new covenant...

Here is the promise made to Abraham that Paul was talking about in Romans 9:6-8 when he referenced "the children of the promise" who are Abraham's offspring (seed): Romans 4:14 It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but...
