Once Saved Always Saved (OSAS). "Everyone the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. This is the will of him who sent me: that I should lose none of those he...

They were not analogies. They were two verses that used the exact same word (”til/until” in English and “ἕως” in Greek) that were comparing the meaning of the WORD (until/ἕως) to demonstrate that conclusions were being drawn from the word that could not be supported by the actual passage as...

I was just explaining the point that the other poster was making in the statement you wanted an example of. I haven’t felt good about a U.S. President since Ronald Regan‘s first term. (So I generally avoid the political discussions.) [“Why Hitler killed the Jews” is a topic that could use some...

The Trump economy grew from the Policy decisions of Obama, and the Biden success against COVID grew from the vaccine developed under Trump. And so on, and so on …

:no reply: Non sequitur. Everybody in the story of Lazarus and the rich man died.

Can the African Orthodox Church even run for US President? They would be better than a Biden vs Trump rematch.

I agree (with the possible exception of Luke). ... well. technically, Jesus is only Half-Jewish. That whole "Son of God" thing. ;)

The story in Luke is "verbatim" (word for word what Luke was told that Jesus said). While many believe it to be a parable, and not "literal", I disagree. I believe that Jesus would have no need to fabricate a false narrative of the afterlife when He possessed accurate knowledge of the truth...

I think that the definitions of "LITERAL" and "VERBATIM" are far enough apart, but not antonyms of one another, that your observation is a non sequitur. The issue for me is simple, metaphors are not LITERAL ... no matter how many times anyone insists to the contrary. The essence of Literal...

Wouldn't be ironic if those two came from the Tribes of Judah and Benjamin? [just a random thought.]

"God does as He pleases and He does it right well." -Corrie ten Boom

Bible humor ... gotta love it.

I tend to avoid eschatological discussions because I don't care enough about the answer to be willing to wade into the fight. It is not like "If I figure it all out, I will change what God is going to do." So I am a "Pan-Tribulationist" ... it will all PAN OUT IN THE END. :Laughingoutloud...

You keep a list of "Amillenialist members"? I am a confused "partial preterist" [I think a lot was fulfilled in AD 70-ish and most of the symbolism of Revelation goes past me ... so I am just waiting to see what happens and trusting in God]. I probably belong on your list (just to be safe)...

Not "LITERAL"! [Which is the point YOU refuse to acknowledge.] Nobody has an actual sword (pointy flat metal object with sharp sides) LITERALLY sticking out of their actual mouth. Yey YOU want to claim some parts of Revelation are 100% LITERAL when other parts are clearly SYMBOLIC METAPHORS...

Good for you! I am unfamiliar with any Reformer writings on Jews (except Luther, who changed his mind and has TWO different opinions).

That is just TOO cute!

WAIT! Canada has no President? Then who runs the country? ;)

In Germany prior to WW2 (say from 1900 to 1940), the Jews were hated because they were "other". As a rule, they lived in Ghettos (communities comprised of one group of people - like the Italian North Ward in Newark, NJ or the many Jewish communities throughout Europe). This was partly the...

Jesus will have a sword sticking out of His mouth in Heaven?!!!! [Nope.] Every church has a Golden lampstand? [Nope.] Jesus will appear like a slain lamb? Yuck! [Nope.] Jesus is a wooden gate? People are literal sheep? Plants? [Nope.] You have LITERALLY plucked your eye out already, Right...
