Hold on, I’m not accusing you of saying some of the things Jesus said, which aren’t written, are not important at all. I came to the conclusion that you think the things that Jesus said that aren’t written down are also not important for faith and practice. Faith and practice only. Is that...

I brought this up with another Premil and he told me there’s an Old Testament, New Testament, and there will be a Millennial Testament. I just shook my.

It appears that based on John 21:25 you’re drawing the conclusion that some of things Jesus said weren’t important for faith and practice. The things He said that were important for faith and practice were written down and we have them (the 1769 Cambridge edition of the AV1611) and if anyone...

I’m just curious, in your future millennial kingdom, will people be adding to the Bible? Every time Jesus speaks it would be the word of God, so if anyone holds a future literal millennial kingdom position it would seem they also should hold the position that the Bible isn’t complete yet. Do...

I agree, and here’s something else we need to consider. In Revelation 6:9-11 the souls under the altar ask the question of how long dost thou not judge them that dwell on the earth. The answer is given in vs 11 that they should rest a little season until their fellow servants also and their...

Yea, I think that’s a possibility. In Revelation 20:12 the books are opened and another book, the book of life, is opened. This happens at the final judgment. An interesting way of looking at that verse is to say the books contain the pages of time, while the book of life has the names of those...

No, I don’t believe it’s always greed, else the person with the lowest bank account isn’t greedy and everyone else is. Is that what you think? What if I used the money in my bank account to repair my car instead of giving that money to a homeless person? Am I greedy or am I being a good steward...

Well, what about the parable of the talents in Matthew 25? The guy who hid the talent in the earth and gave it back without interest to his lord is told he was wicked and slothful. If we consider our money as being given to us by God and ourselves as stewards then I wouldn’t think improving...

I’ve thought the same thing. In Matthew 24:40 and 41, the words “shall be taken”<3880> occurs 50 times and can have several different meanings. One meaning is to receive something transmitted, to receive with the mind. If I insert that meaning into Matthew 24:40 it says Then shall two be in the...

Right, Jesus had the foreknowledge that Peter would deny Him. Once Jesus told Peter he would deny Him, then Peter also had the foreknowledge of what was going to happen. Under normal circumstances we don’t have the foreknowledge of the future, other than prophecy that hasn’t been fulfilled yet...

What’s interesting to me is that some people on this forum will argue that many of the early church fathers had a consensus about a particular eschatological view. But you are pointing out that the early church fathers also had to contend with what writings should or shouldn’t be considered as...

Well, I’m not so sure about the “if God caused it, then God could not hold anyone accountable” part of your statement. Let’s consider Peter, was Peter held accountable for denying Jesus? In Matthew 26:34 Jesus tells Peter that he will deny Him. In verse 35 Peter says he will not deny and the...

Ok, I agree we are saved by grace and no work on our part is involved in that, works follow salvation. Even believing itself is a work according to John 6:28-29. But as far as our free will to choose Jesus or not, that doesn’t seem to be. In order to have free will, neither Satan or God can...

Ok, in 2 Corinthians 4:4 the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. Does a person have a choice as to whether they see Jesus or not? I mean if an unbeliever’s mind is...

Would a carnal mind be resisting the Holy Spirit as seen in Acts 7:51?

In Romans 8:16 it says The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. In 1 Corinthians 2:12 it says Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. We can...

1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Unless you think getting the mark of the beast is not a sin, it has to take place outside of the physical body. That means the mark of...

Let me throw this idea out there … The lawless one could be viewed as one that has no covenant. The man <444> of sin relates to both genders, male and female. Jerusalem is described as a woman in the Bible in various forms, one being a harlot. It could be looked at as Jerusalem had no covenant...

I think that’s a fair assessment, with out getting into OSAS vs NOSAS debate, we all know that there are currently some people who at least claim to have accepted Christ at some point and now claim to no longer believe in Christ. It’s fair to say even today there are people “falling away” from...
