What do you mean by this? How do you think people entered into the kingdom during old covenant times? The tares were never in the kingdom. Jesus contrasted the children of the kingdom, represented by the wheat, with the children of the wicked one, represented by the tares.

It is that simple, but you don't want to accept it, so you make it too complicated to accept.

Yeah. So? You think the tares only refer to the chief priests and Pharisees? Why do you take that so literally? Do you never consider whether or not your interpretation of one verse is contradicting any other verses? Do you believe the scribes and Pharisees had more influence over who enters...

It's so clear that you were delivered from deep spiritual darkness. It's great to see! Let's pray for these people who are still blinded by false teaching so that they can see who Jesus really is.

Says the guy who frequently calls his claims "undeniable".

You're not interpreting that correctly, but, unfortunately, it's partly because of the way that verse is worded. If you look at the parable as a whole and read everything He said about it, you should see that all He meant there was that He has His angels separate the children of the wicked one...

You're not differentiating between the deity and humanity of Jesus. Do you believe that Jesus created all things as these scriptures teach: John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were...

That explains a lot. I was wondering what his religion is. Notice how ridiculous his argument was. Obviously, the context of what was being discussed was in relation to the God who created all things, but he interjected with the irrelevant point that Satan is also a god. We're not talking about...

If only you actually understood what is written in Hebrews 8 to 10 then I would win. But, you don't. Ask God to explain it to you since I apparently am not able to do so.

So, explain it then. What did you mean when you said "Jesus' blood is not the New Covenant, but the purchase price of the covenant."?

No, I don't believe that. Who would ever say that the gospel doesn't need to be preached anymore? Of course I'm not saying that. I'm saying that the new covenant has been fully in effect since Christ shed His blood of the new covenant which provides for the forgiveness of sins (Matt 26:28)...

No Amil claims that, so you are making a straw man argument. Jesus contrasted the people of the kingdom (represented by the wheat) with the people of the wicked one (represented by the tares) (Matt 13:38). The people of the kingdom are in the kingdom of heaven and the people of the wicked one...

What is your point? He's not the God who created all things. But, Jesus is. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made...

You can't understand what the parable is about without understanding when the rewards are given which is when Jesus returns. He gave no rewards to anyone in 70 AD, so the parable has to be about His future return when He will give rewards to His people. To me, that establishes the context of the...

Where are you getting this from? Why would it say they are resurrected to "damnation" (John 5:28-29) and to "shame and everlasting contempt" if they get a chance to repent after being resurrected? Scripture never teaches such a thing. We (Christians) are all His "brothers" and His sheep...

That's what he thinks he's doing, but it's not reasonable to make the statement that I believe Jesus returns right after Matthew 24:15-21 is fulfilled when I have never said such a thing. If he wants to debate the meaning of that passage, that's fine, but it's not acceptable for him to...

Do you not think we are made up of 3 parts: body, soul and spirit? 1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

LOL. Waiting? Do you have no patience? Do you think I have nothing better to do than talk to you? So, it was too much trouble for you to go back and read my posts? Did I not make it clear that I see the Jews being taken captive to all nations, "the times of the Gentiles" and Matthew 24:23-26 as...

Is there something you didn't understand about what I said? I said I have already addressed what you said there multiple times. Go back and read my posts where I addressed what you said there already.

I can't blame him for being confused by that. To many of us, it's obvious that those verses are about the same event and the reason that Luke didn't specifically mention the abomination of desolation spoken about by Daniel is simply because his Gentile audience would not have known anything...
