No, I'm not going to just act as if Romans 11:11-14 does not exist. It helps establish the context of the rest of the chapter. All people, including all Israelites, have had the opportunity to hear and accept the gospel over the past almost 2,000 years. You are not understanding that none of...

Good grief. This is ridiculous. Peter taught the same thing that Jesus did. Compare these passages... Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37 But as the...

Why would I lie about that? It should be clear that I get my view from scripture since I am backing up everything I believe with scripture. I have no respect for you because instead of just discussing the scriptures, you have to try to act like I'm making things up, which I am not doing. Talk to...

LOL. You have some nerve accusing me of playing games when that is clearly what you are doing. Philippians 2:5-8 shows that, but instead of accepting that, you are playing games and asking me for a single verse which says that. What a joke. John 1 also shows that He is the Word and the Word is...

You are the one who keeps making comments that I'm playing games and acting like I'm being dishonest, but I'm not. Don't act like you are innocent here.

Resistance to what? I'm not the one denying clear, straightforward scripture. You are. You want to avoid the clear, straightforward scripture at all costs. Not surprising. I can't take you seriously. If you can't even discern clear, straightforward scripture which says Jesus is God and created...

As man, He was born of a virgin, but God He was not created. As long as you fail to differentiate between His deity and His humanity, you will not get it. You are deceived. Why is it that you can't accept that He could be both God and man at the same time?

Who are you trying to fool with your nonsense? You can't fool me. Holding my position out of fear? LOL!!! You are delusional. Philippians 2:5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God...

Total nonsense. Paul wrote that Jesus Christ is in His very nature God, but did not want to use His equality with God to His advantage while He was on the earth because He had a mission to die on the cross for the sins of the world. You do not accept what Paul wrote in Philippians 2:5-8 about...

I wasn't just concerned about me making things personal, but I know how, in the past, you have taken offense to things and have taken things personally. So, I would like to avoid that if we can. We clearly are likely to never agree about this, so what is the point in continuing to repeat...

LOL. Did you not even read what I said? I'll post it again... I said right here that I was honestly assuming things about what you said and I told you why. I was saying it was an honest mistake to assume that you believe the verses about Jesus being God are mistranslated because that is exactly...

Yes, you were right that Peter didn't even mention Judas's name there, which is similar to Jesus referring to Judas but not by name here: John 17:12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so...

There are many passages which clearly indicate that Jesus is God, so I was not being dishonest to assume that means you must think those verses are mistranslated. That is what others here who deny that Jesus is God claim, so I figured you probably do the same. Nothing but word salads, twisting...

Peter isn't speaking in John 1:18, so did you mean some other verse?

As if I'm not also doing that? Look here. The difference between us is not that you are looking at all of this closer than I am. No. We are both trying to look at all of it very thoroughly, but we still disagree. So be it. Accept it. I don't want to talk about this any further or else things...

Why is the word "if" in there then? You are trying to say it's unconditional, but the verse itself does not.

Many verses in our English translations clearly show that Jesus is God, so I assume you think they are mistranslated. So, you think they are translated correctly and you just don't accept what they say? You continue to not understand that Jesus is both God and man at the same time. As the God...

His exhortations are part of the truth he has written. His exhortations are in relation to us continuing to keep our faith until the very end so that we don't end up turning away from the living God. That's what passages like Hebrews 3:12-14 indicate. We are responsible to continue to have that...

How does what you're saying fit with the warnings given in the 2 verses preceding it? I don't see you looking at that verse in context. I believe it is clearly saying, in relation to those who have confidence in the first place, that they must continue having that confidence until the very end...
