No, you posted your opinion about what Jesus meant. Not caring is quite consistent with contradicting divine omnilove.

1. So, please connect them. 2. Indeed I do. 3. Yes, I am older.

The seven pearls indicate God loves everyone as He commands us to do. I keep ignoring your blasphemous doctrine that demeans divine love. Agape love for sinners is not love of sin/evil. Your illogical condemnation of omnilove nullifies the righteousness of a just God who does not show...

It makes perfect biblical sense, because the NT teaches that the HS is given only to believers/Christians/spiritual Jews/Messianic Muslims and that all who do not have the HS are not believers/etc.

There is a problem with simple semantics and basic mathematics: the Bible says there’s one baptism A. “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance" B. "but he that cometh after me shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:” C. WB + SB = 2 Bs A. "For John truly baptized with...

Your reply reveals that you are oblivious regarding the omnilove of God/Jesus, so you fail to understand that the reason Jesus told this parable was NOT because he hated those who were not his disciples but because he hoped every hearer (a,b & c) would repent and become his disciple/good soil...

So, you believe Jesus did not hope they would be teachable rather than hard-hearted/closed-minded?! (cf. Matt. 13:14-15)

Oh. Well, I interpret the Parable of the Sower as follows: TOJ #81: Be teachable/humble. [Matt. 13:3-23//Mark 4:3-9&13-20//Luke 8:5-8&11-15] The Parable of the Sower is a fictional story that conveys a literal truth related to several other TOJ: on LGW (TOJ #3), on perseverance (#60), on...

Okay, but best might be to copy the list of them in the first lesson of our website at the beginning of the lessons on the HOB, so I will do that soon. I trust everyone is familiar <truthseekersfellowship.com> by now, although no one has taken me up yet on the offer to include their submission...

I understand "speaking in other tongues" in Acts 2:4 to refer to speaking in unlearned foreign languages, "they heard them speaking in tongues" in Acts 10:46 to refer to be unclear because "other" is missing, and "they spoke in tongues" in 19:6 likewise to be unclear for the same reason. I...

Oh darn! So much for the hymn Trust and Obey" I sang as a child during the time I walked the aisle. Can we cut to the chase by agreeing we are saved by God alone? And that GRFS is simple enough for a child to understand? At least I thought I did and still think I do.

I don't know how to add the acronyms to my signature either, although many of them would not be relevant for most of my posts, so I wouldn't want to do that. Is having them on my profile page not sufficient? Regarding the historical facts in this thread, if anyone ever discovers something...

RQ: Should President Trump instruct the Justice Department to ignore nationwide injunctions by Marxist district judges that block his mandate to deport illegal immigrants? Another way to ask this question is: Should immigrants illegally invited into the U.S. by the Marxist Biden regime be...

Thanks for the feedback. I do not know how to edit a post after the five minutes have expired. My main resource was The Timetables of History by Bernard Grun in 2005, and later I consulted the Smithsonian Timelines of History in 2011. TTYL

Because "they" in v.1 are the believers who spoke in "tongues" in v.4 who were the "people" in v.17 who were the "servants" in v.18, but why do you make me explain the obvious?

I agree that there is no text in scripture that specifically teaches that God loves Rufus, but those who understand semantics including implicit meaning can connect sufficient dots to arrive at that conclusion. Yes, on judgment day Jesus will tell those who he never intimately and personally...

Again, why do you say that? What do you "realize" I stated? :unsure:

How does what I said indicate disagreement?

Surely Acts 2:17-18 refers only to believers!

Yes, and all genuine believers are known by the HS's loving fruit, whereas the gifts of service vary from believer to believer and may even be evident in non-believers, although they fail to glorify God for such ability--with the musical gift being an example (cf. Exod. 31:3-6, 1Chron. 29:14-16...
