So, are you of the Five Wise or Five Foolish Virgins in Matthew 25:1-13?

While I like your optimism, I would encourage you to read his responses again. He needs a one-way trip to Banville.

They are unable to lead me into their fresh, clean and cool waters of ETERNAL DAMNATIONISM, so they love their enemies by banning them.
LOL

Can't decide which forum is more demonic - ChristianityBoard, TalkJesus, BaptistBoard, ReligiousForums, or ReligiousForumSite.

I spend most my time at USMessageBoard. The Non-Christians are far more open and tolerant of intelligence.

Yes, Infallible Arbiter, love that one, it's my fifth profile here - The antichrist's always have to ban hard-core universalist's like me.

You have been reported.

Bye.

 

[InfallibleArbiter]

Are you in every verse in the bible ?

You're in a vacuum, provide a context.

You have been reported.

Bye.

As the Judas you are, do what you do quickly - loving your enemies.
I'm on three other forums under other profile names.
Ta Ta.

Are you ok?

BTW, when I said, "I tend to think it's more likely he's role-playing a part he perceives others here (on CC) to be," I was not referring to something like [he's] "playing devil's advocate"... in case you thought I meant that.

How was your day?

Yes , but if the four foot wall is not round ,how can the birds have wings on Wednesday?

 

[Nehemiah6]

I've never heard one christian ever say they were of the Five Foolish Virgins -
Usually, they just ignore this thread and move on.

Why would they? Do you belong to that group?

 

[Nehemiah6]

Matthew is the most Jewish centric book among the 3 synoptic gospels. There is a very good reason why that particular parable can only be found in Matthew. Clue is found in Matthew 15:24

However, this parable is not limited to Jews. It applies to the Church. And even Matthew speaks of the Church. Once you start slicing and dicing as to what applies to Jews and what to Gentiles, what you get is a mess.

Well, at least your not denying it's for the church, as the others here have.
As stated in the OP, no one wants to admit to being either or -
Shows the lower levels of demonic consciousness, the whorish death-cults of christianity are locked into.

 

[TheDivineWatermark]

your not denying

Did you mean, "you're not denying" ?

 

[InfallibleArbiter]

Did you mean, "you're not denying" ?

No, I meant "your not denying", so as to expose those who would rather focus on non-essentials rather than the essence of the OP - as the Five Foolish Virgins are want to do.

Oh, I thought one part of your "focus" was (as you put in your Post #21):

Post #21 - The Non-Christians are far more open and tolerant of intelligence.

any christian's

the pharisee's

The antichrist's

hard-core universalist's like me

Little-known fact: my spiritual gift is sometimes "spell-checking" (or was that the "Superlatives" voted on back in high school, I forget. )

Anyway, I'm fondly remembering a poster who often spelled this same way... perhaps that was one of your several aliases you mentioned having in the past, here at CC?


[maybe you misspoke in your Post #21... and you really meant something ELSE... I guess that's a possibility too... we all do it, at times! = ) ]

 

[TheDivineWatermark]

No where says that those in the church age are 'virgins '

Yes. The misapplication of that one small 's' (referring to PLURAL virginS), not to mention its CONTEXT, has led to many false ideas, such as:

--"partial-rapture theory"

--"Millennial-exclusion theory [for any member of 'the Church WHICH IS HIS BODY']"

--"'lose-your-salvation' theory"

--men thinking they can "marry" numerous women at the same time

--and so many more...

 

[Blackpowderduelist]

I don't really like it when someone has to get banned. I'd rather have a discussion with them about their ideas and the way they understand stuff.
But when you come in here and just start basically calling names and understand things the way you do with out even explaining yourself, well you get banned.
The people who do that, I often wonder if they have studied at all, because they certainly aren't exemplifying the standard Jesus or Paul or Peter set.

 

[posthuman]

it's my fifth profile here

why did you lose the first one?

Jesus did that himself in Matthew 15:24 and Matthew 10:5
