I think you missed what he was asking. Unless I did. I believe the context of his question was in relation to who the Israel is now that is still blinded in part since that is what I was talking about in the post he responded to. That Israel is determined based on DNA. Of course, you know that I...

Why not? God initiated a process back then in Paul's day where He wanted the salvation of the Gentiles to provoke blinded Israelites to jealousy so that they too would want to be saved. You can see that in what Paul said here: Romans 11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall...

Romans 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel...

What do you mean "once the blindness in part is lifted"? The blindness in part is never fully lifted, but the blindness of individuals is lifted when they repent and put their faith in Christ. Look at the following passage: Romans 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh...

No, Paul refers to the enemies and the election separately. The enemies would be those who are blinded and the election refers to the remnant of saved Israelites, as can be seen in Romans 11:5-7. When it says the election are beloved for the father's sakes that's referring to a special love...

Using scripture to interpret scripture is clearly not something you care about. I used scripture to back up my understanding of the timing of the last days. You use your imagination to make scripture say what you want it to say. You don't care if you interpret passages in such a way that...

That's what you think, but you are required to ignore what Paul taught in 1 Corinthians 15:22-23 in order to come to that conclusion. You need to reconcile the scriptures instead of making one of them say what you want it to say in order to fit your interpretation of the other. LOL. You do not...

How many unbelievers survived the flood? None. How many unbelievers survived in Sodom? None. Jesus said that's how it will be when He comes (Matt 24:39, Luke 17:30), but you completely ignore that. Your doctrine is based only on your imagination and not on scripture.

Wrong. That is not what I believe. Misrepresenting my view does nothing but make you look dumb.

Your doctrine is completely ludicrous. You think literally all believers will die before Christ returns despite Paul saying there will be those who are alive and remain. You are the one denying the truth here. Your nonsense can't be supported by scripture, overall. You interpret something you...

Believers will be changed to have immortal bodies at that point and will meet Christ in the air. No believers will be left behind. That's ludicrous. You are trying to differentiate between saved people and believers, which is beyond ridiculous. No mortals will survive. How absurd to try and...

No, I'm not saying that. Don't try to speak for me. It will be more than half the planet's population, I'm sure, because it will be all who don't know God and don't obey the gospel of Jesus Christ. 2 Thessalonians 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be...

In Revelation 20 John sees souls of the dead in Christ living and reigning with Christ and, of course, they would be in heaven. Can you address what I said regarding Acts 2:29-36. Should we not accept what Peter taught about how Christ was given authority on David's throne by way of His...

I have no idea of what you're trying to say. Before the "one week" is referenced in verse 27, only 69 of the weeks had been previously mentioned. So, verse 27 has to refer to the 70th week and there's no reason to think the 70th week wasn't of the same duration as the previous 69 weeks.

Again, you said this: 69 times 7 is 483, not 490. What am I missing here? Or are you just using faulty math?

I think we should let Paul tell us who Abraham's seed is instead of you. Galatians 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ....And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs...

It's the last week of the 70 weeks, which equate to 490 years. Please explain this comment you made: For the life of me, I can't understand why you said this. Can you explain it? If each week is seven years, then the seven weeks equates to 49 years and the threescore and two weeks (62 weeks)...

Right. We are all Christians first and foremost. These other labels just help identify what we believe about certain things. Since I believe amil is true, then I argue for the truth. That's who I am. Jesus reigns now and I will always promote the doctrine that puts an emphasis on His current...

Why are you taking that so literally? How could He possibly literally sit on David's throne in the future? Surely, it has decayed and doesn't exist anymore. We need to allow the NT to interpret the OT for us. The NT reveals things that are hidden or not clear in the OT. I accept Peter's...

Yes, I did realize that. So, just take my responses in that context. I was responding to the opinion being shared and not necessarily to what you believe personally. None of this matters in relation to Romans 11. As I showed in Romans 11:5-7, Paul made it clear that there was a remnant of...
