Nothing there indicates them occurring in the distant future, only future, meaning after He said it...which He said would be "quickly." You mean that faithful group that scattered the night of His apprehension, the same group that could "not bear" all that He had to say?

The "text" is not the test. The theist does not rely "upon what the texts state." They rely on the Spirit who inspired and ordained it. The atheist does not.

A phony is a phony, regardless. The church is indeed full of them by every label. As for allowing atheists to pastor [Christian] churches, no, the dead do not make good pastors. Find a pulse, or pass.

"Not spiritualise" the scriptures? They are spirit! Since you have already called me "childish", at the risk of more criticism, I will say: "Naturally!" 1 Corinthians 2:14 "But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know...

It is in Paul's explaining the purpose of tongues (1 Corinthians 14:21) following his clarification that even the scriptures must be "spiritually discerned" (1 Corinthians 2:14). Which means nothing if Israel did not first suffer spiritual blindness, that blindness that remains "until the...

Ah, a false witness. This the Lord hates. You will not go unpunished.

You need to go back to school. Your definition of "address" is wrong too. Giving the correct explanation of a matter he failed to explain correctly, is not making up an idea either. If you can count...that is strike three for you. You're out. No cookie.

If you mean no one has come close to [embracing] anything Pink taught. That may be true. But, I have "engaged" it. You just don't embrace it.

The root of the word "foreknew" is "fore", meaning "before" (a reference to time). Before what? Before time. Time, is indeed the topic of Romans 8:29-30...even if you do not recognize it.

If any of that were true (and it is not) you would not have countered with your own scripture against scripture, you would have reconciled them. But you did not, nor can you, because you have already contradicted the other scriptures. And you continue to disregard the rest of the scriptures...

I am not a student of Calvinism or any other 'ism, but I would describe it thus: What we experience over a lifetime and the world experiences of history, occurred with God "in the twinkling of an eye" (instantaneously) in what is best described in a manner of before-and-after, which was...

I have given you the scriptures, and you speak against them as if blind. Those passages are the foreshadowing, the parable language manifest in darkness...not their fulfillment. Daniel 7:23 refers to the kingdom of Satan, the ruler of this world. Revelation 13:7 refers again to Satan...

It is you who is out of context and mixing the words written to those who sin with those who do not sin. But the truth is not me speaking...as it is written. You call the Holy Spirit "arrogant." Wouldn't want to be you.

You speak against all that is written. Your quoting scripture against scripture only proves your lack of knowledge. Both the scriptures that you have quoted, as well as those I have quoted are true, and must be reconciled, or "all truth" is not in you. Your half-truth attempts are proof of it...

It is only "off topic" if you cannot bear it now. But, on the contrary, it is on topic and I did address and explain Romans 8:29-30. As I explained, Paul spoke in the time-only context, for he spoke with those under the weight of that age and time. But in the context of "all truth" the...

This is the renewing of our minds, that we should come to a full and correct understanding that God being translated as "the same, yesterday, today, and forever", does not mean He has access to all points on a timeline of His creation. But rather that there is no timeline: "I am." Even science...

No...by that definition God is not "I am", "the same yesterday, today, and forever." By that definition, you put God in a box, within the temporal bounds of His own creation. Time is a created thing--which has an end. But God has no end, and therefore your definition is grossly in error. Such is...

No...I just quoted the scripture you say does not exist. Biblically, that is called blindness. And now because of this you do the same as BOL, mixing sinners and non-sinners. But you are wrong: A sinner, once he has died, is free from sin and sins no more. Therefore, Christ has said, "You must...

Indeed, there are sinners in the church...but all who are in the church are not sinners, and for BOL to treat them all the same by using those passages written to sinners as if they applied to everyone, is wrong. As for the first century Christians and "rightly dividing the word of truth"; I am...

For crying out loud--you are off topic in your own thread! That, as I said, is because you are ranting a pet peeve; and therefore are not thinking rationally. Nonetheless, here are the scriptures you have asked for: Matthew 6:9 "In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed...
