Two things: Number 1: There is no place for anti-semitism or discrimination against any human being of any ethnicity, for that matter. But physical Israel and God's Israel are two different... entities. God's Israel includes many ethnic Jews, but a true Jew of God is not necessarily...

Well, what we're talking about is the Revelation of John, and... kind of what you're saying here but a bit differently... whether the visions/dreams given him are as relevant to us today as they were to his original hearers, and vice versa. And the answer, as you seem to agree here, is yes...

We should see it as both... we are in the midst of it. God's millennium is the same stretch of our time conveyed by the writer of Hebrews in chapter 1 of that letter... "...in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son..." Hmmm. Revelation is saturated in symbolism, but this does not...

Faith and works are not opposites of each other; the former is the reason for the latter, the... oh, let's say catalyst... for the latter. We are moved... motivated... compelled to do good works because we are assured ~ by God, of course ~ of our being in Christ and thus saved. It is in this...

Right, but this is not something Arminius actually said, but rather the unavoidable implication of what he did say regarding this "point," or rather, in this first objection of his. And now yours. Well good, but it is the implication of your understanding. Having this faith is what causes...

I mean, you can do what you want, for sure, but I don't think anyone is "okay" with being lied to or about... including you. But no reasonable person reading through our exchange would say I actually quoted you as saying "yada, yada, yada," and would understand clearly that I was just making a...

Interesting... Yeah, so somehow you quoted me as saying, "I got nothin' to refute anything you said," but I never said anything of the sort. To anyone, much less you. Yeah, no idea who said that, just that it was not me. So... what was that you were saying about being dishonest? <smile>...

Really, @TribulationSigns , all that should be necessary is to point out any one of several things. You cited some of them, but these are the clearest to me: "I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you...

Grace and peace to you.

Just a couple of things from your previous post... <chuckles> Regarding Romans 8:29 and Ephesians 1:5... I quoted them word for word, Spiritual Israelite. Verbatim. It does; if we are not in Christ, we can hear the word of truth, for sure, but if we are not in Christ, we will not trust in...

<chuckles> Oh, I see, so, in saying, "I don't understand your points" and "you're never clear" and such (repeatedly), you were really saying, "You don't understand my points." That's... interesting.... And a microcosm of so many other elements of this entire... "conversation." But okay, fair...

Right, and I used your own words to disprove your own assertion. Right; not necessary, since, for the most part, the three of us are making virtually the same points. Right; see above. And regarding the very same thing he was saying in that particular instance, you have accused me of the very...

Ethnic Jews are not necessarily true Jews of God. Not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel. That's 'prophesied.' We disagree. The land that we will inherit is the earth, as Jesus said in Matthew 5. There are still 'some to come,' so to speak, yes. In these end times, as you...

Right, God's household, and true Jews of God, as I said. Grace and peace to you.

Well, rIght, but it was never about ethnicity. God's Jews, His Israel, consists of people of very tongue, tribe, and nation. As Paul says in Romans 2:28-29, "no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical... a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a...

Just a sampling of Spiritual Israelite posts in this thread: “I can't make any sense of what you're saying here. This comes across as doublespeak.” “this is what you resort to every time I refute something you say since you're never completely clear in what you're saying.” “I have to guess in...

Because you keep saying you "don't understand" my points, even though I have been very thorough in explaining in many different ways, and you continue to clarify ~ wrongly ~ my positions in view of the many different passages of Scripture I have cited to support my positions many times over...

Like I said, the problem is not in what I have said, the problem is what you think my "overall beliefs" are and what you think Calvin taught/wrote about these particular things we've been discussing. I do not lie. If you think something someone says is untrue, SI, that someone is not...

I don't purposely tell untruths, Spiritual Israelite. Now, I could say what you say here is a lie, but I think you truly believe it, which just makes you, in this case, wrong. Either that or this is just another feeble effort to piss me off... <smile> Actually, 'wrong' is technically...

Nah, you're just avoiding it. Good. But you have denied, many times, that our good works are the result of our having been saved, our having been born again of the Spirit and thus of God. That people can't choose the Lord, for one... And that one countless times... Right, because the true...
