Lame? That wasn't nice, but considering the source, and your usual response to me... The point is regarding the OP. Daniel 8 IS in reference to Antiochus Ephiphanes IV and it was before Christ that Maccabees cleansed the temple. So the other abomination of desolation that Daniel 9 spoke of and...

I see there are three pages so don't know if anyone else brought this up but, the reason why Antiochus Epiphanes IV is brought up is because he was a foreshadow of the future Antichrist and future abomination of desolation that both Jesus and Daniel spoke of in Daniel 9. But what is missed is in...

I learned something on another site from one poster. What mainly happens with me is when I'm responding to a post, the Holy Spirit will suddenly enlighten me on something that I never knew before as I'm typing. That has happened over and over. Each time it happens, I pull up one of my word...

That is nice to know. You seem to be the first!

I understand what you guys mean, but what Paul was warning the Gentiles was to not be haughty regarding the Jews (the heresy of replacement theology), because if God cut off the natural branches, He could cut them off too if they didn't endure to the end and went back to living in sin, which...

I'll send you a comment privately - watch for mail.

I'm a little confused as to your timing. You don't mean at death do you? When we are born again of the Spirit of Christ, which must happen in order to be a Christian, our spirit will contain the seed of the Father. 1 John 3:9; Romans 8:9

LOL Did you not understand my post? Read it again. I am not 'for' the modern versions, but against them. And your reasoning is why, and we agree, so what's the problem. I am not 'for' sinning up a storm! I'm against sinning. And I am 'for' understanding the conditions of God, which in this...

Every translation I can find on biblegateway, calls it THEIR OWN OLIVE TREE. In other words, GOD'S PEOPLE. God's people started with the Jews, in unbelief some were cut off and Gentiles (wild) were grafted into God's people. And when the Jews come back they can easily be grafted back into God's...

Evidently you didn't read this part of the verse, so I'll repeat it. The natural olive tree IS the "good" olive tree. It is "natural." In unbelief they were cut off, but if they repent, they can be grafted back into the same tree. Not sure what obscure version you have, but the translator made...

I agree 50%. The wild olive tree are Gentiles. But Israel is the natural olive tree. Period. 23 And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted...

I disagree, Romans 11 says who is the wild olive tree - Gentiles. National Israel - believers and unbelievers are the natural olive tree.

But that doesn't answer the OP.

I don't get it. o_O

His nature determines His will. That is why we must be born again of the Spirit, to receive a new nature that does not sin. 1 John 3:9

I couldn't agree more! It is because sometimes the Greek has four or five different words with different meanings and applications for just one of our words - like our word "love." 1 John 3:23 to love your neighbor is agape - the God kind of moral love, the one where you would lay down your life...

Not at all. God gives all a measure of faith. Romans 12. You can be saved, just from reading the Logos, the other Greek word for "word," and repent, the qualification to being saved, because receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit is directly related to repenting of all sin unto Jesus. But when...

The supernatural faith that is one of the gifts of the Spirit, is a result of Romans 10:17. The word, "word" is rhema. And that rhema is spoken by God, Himself. When you receive a rhema, you also receive the gift of supernatural faith to see the rhema come to pass. Another verse that uses the...

LOL, read my post before yours #5. We agree!

Some translations call the fruit, faithfulness - "faith." But faithfulness is enduring to the end, and is the true fruit of the Spirit. This is why some believe you have to be saved first to have faith. That is the cart before the horse, and Calvinism.
