@Grandpa Hi, Grandpa - Hmmm... There seems to be a little dilemma in your proposed theology that you aren't thinking through. Okay … what specifically is the dilemma in my thesis? Which Israel is Isaiah speaking of when it identifies Israel? In Isaiah’s book the following identifiers are...

@NayborBear Hi, NayborBear - Perhaps, in your eyes, or the "eyes of men", or supposed "men of God" are concerned. Nope ... the OP stands as valid strictly on the basis of no one responding to my OP with a convincing and compelling rebuttal. But? There can NOT be any RECONCILIATION betweenst...

@garee Hi, garee - In regard to the prophecy of Isaiah as fulfilled. If prophecy is a curse it is to unbelievers of all nations as a forward nation "no faith". Okay ... so, here I'll have to disagree with you, because the text of Isaiah specifically identifies "Israel" as the object toward...

@tourist Hi, tourist - Apology accepted. My perspective is that I may disagree with other Christians (or other Christians may disagree with me), but I have to remember that they are not my enemies; we are all on the same page - maybe on a different paragraph - but our Father has declared us...

@tourist Hi, tourist - There is a youtube video of two gentlemen who share my worldview in general. I'd like to get your reaction to their unique Christian perspective. The video is here. Thanks in advance.

@RickyZ Hi, RickyZ - Do you genuinely want what you pray for? Jesus taught us what to pray for: Our Father in heaven, holy is your name. Let Your kingdom come, and let your will be done on earth as it is heaven. Do you want our Father's kingdom and will to be done on earth, AS IT IS IN...

@JesusOnly777 Hi, JesusOnly777 - Thanks for your reply. It's good to know there are others who see the world through the eyes of Scripture. I agree with your assessment. However, there are additional Scriptures that further refine our understanding of the messages conveyed by the Scriptures...

Nope … just means you got something in your eye. :cool:

@tourist Hi, tourist - Because of your claim that Christians are blind for seeking God's will for their life. I made no such claim. My claim is this: Christians who read Genesis and then later ask what is God's will for their lives are blind. Everyone is not suited for the same purpose in...

Okay ... so let's recap: I shared my thesis that people who read Genesis and then later ask what is God's will for their lives are blind. The basis for my assertion that they are blind is that our Father shared His will very plainly in Genesis. I then demonstrated our Father sharing His will...

@turist Hi, turist - Do you actually believe that anyone is actually going to consider your OP and apply it to their life? I have no beliefs in regards to whether or not anyone applies anything I have written. The chance of that happening is less than zero. What is the basis for this claim...

That is hardly the answer to a Christian asking God for direction in their life. What is the basis for this statement? OK, all of that stuff was accomplished centuries ago, what happens next. All of what stuff was accomplished centuries ago? Your answer to the question about God's will for...

@NayborBear Hi, NayborBear - Thanks for your reply! Okay ... so you brought up the subject of free will. If I am not mistaken the Calvinist perspective is that the lack of "free will" is a secondary effect of election. Is this correct? Thanks in advance.

@posthuman Hi, posthuman - Thanks for the reply. Just as state legislators are the governing authority, they also must submit to the laws they create. I hope that helps.

@posthuman Hi, posthuman - Thank you for your Biblical response. It's refreshing to see someone articulate a well thought-out Biblical reply. In response to your post on this subject, let me first say, "amen, amen, and amen"! Yes, Psalm 8:3-6 speaks of what God has done for mankind in a...

@garee Hi, garee - Thanks for your reply. I'd like to point out that in the same book of Matthew and in the same chapter, 13, you'll find the following text which explains why Jesus spoke to the Jews in parables (verses 10 - 17): And the disciples came and said to Him, "Why do You speak to...

I have heard Christians voice concern over knowing God's will for their lives after reading the Bible. But, Genesis makes it clear what His will is in Genesis 1:27-28: So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed...

@tourist Hi, tourist - What did I share that led you to the conclusion that I am living in some sort of fantasy world?

@posthuman Hi, posthuman - Thanks for your reply. After reviewing your quotes, I am not convinced that either 1 Peter 2:17-18 or Romans 13:1-2 are inconsistent with God's will for His people to be in control of the planet He gave for them as evidenced by Genesis 1:27-28: So God created man in...

Hi, Everyone - I wholeheartedly appreciate all of your responses to my original post (OP). At this point the OP stands as valid, because there hasn't been a convincing and compelling rebuttal given. Do any of you know of a theologian that would be willing to review my argument? Perhaps, I...
