I disagree with the allegorical interpretation. I believe that you must consider that all three of the servants knew their master - though one of them had a wrong mindset of the master. All of them are given a measure of responsibility, and one squandered his opportunity. I believe that this...

Daniel 9:27 is representative of the anti-Christ by most major scholars. Tamid represents the word daily in Daniel 12:11, and is in reference to Daniel 9:27. Blessings, Howdy!

By the way, I did take two semesters of Greek and Greek exegesis as well. Though, again, I just don't have the time to get into deep exegesis of the text. I hope you will understand that, I'm doing my final this week on the Parable of the Talents!

We can agree to disagree on the use of Kai in the verse, but I do not believe personally we can conclude that they were interpreted from that verse. You're attempting to read and imply your presupposition into the text, rather than allowing the text to speak for itself. I will say this, Rodney...

I will start from the bottom and work my way up. I do believe there is one God coexistent in three different persons - this is very clear from John 13-17. There, you understand that Jesus explains that He is working with both His Father (God) and the Holy Spirit (God), and that we must work...

Thank you for your response. I know that pentecostals lean on the baptism in the name of Jesus and if they are Oneness, they also do not believe in the trinity. Matthew 28:19 is clear in its instruction from Jesus. However, we do see baptism in the name of Jesus in Acts. I believe both are...

Thank you, friend. I will be completely honest, I don't believe it is required for salvation nor do I think it is a major issue if you are baptized in the Name of Jesus or in the Name of the Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit :)

I do not think that I understand scripture 100%. I simply love scripture and to learn. I have already learned a few things simply responding to people and doing a bit of research! :)

Let me rephrase my statement. I believe, instead of interpreted correctly. Yet, once again, it is not scripture that says the Tongues was interpreted. The Greek word for "and" is the Greek word "Kai" which is a conjunction in this sense and is connecting the two clauses - they were speaking in...

I don't believe that they did. This is one of the topics I am most interested in researching, but I do believe that they continued. I believe the Gifts will cease when Christ returns (1 Cor. 13).

I think there is a simplicity to the Gospel. Yet, I believe that many Christians look at people who are studied and have given years of their life being led in the direction of academia in a wrong light. Though, again, I must say that everyone who is trained must be humble - much like Martin...

I do not believe it is difficult to lose salvation, but I do believe that one can lose their salvation. Hebrews 6 makes this pretty clear.

The 1,260 is debated - though there is a great work by Francisco Ribera in 1590 that believes the period of the antichrist will last for a literal 3 1/2 years or 1,260 days. 1,290 is the abomination of desolation or the time when the sacrifices stop. This is referring to the middle of...

Ephesians 2:8.

I disagree, if interpreted correctly, it is they spoke in tongues AND magnified God meaning they did both. Again, you can't superimpose a presupposition of a belief on a text. It never says that there were people around that interpreted it, and if it were important that what was being said was...

I am sorry, but I must disagree with you. The word tells us and instructs us to study to show ourselves approved (2 Tim. 2:15). While the word is hearing his voice, we often disregard and put off the responsibility of study. This is where we often lack. We must not base our entire theology or...

Well, this is very simple - most believers are not studied nor have they been told the text exists. You must remember that the normal Christian is not a scholar, nor do they understand where their belief comes from (I'm talking progressional development through Church History. We know faith is...

Nope!

I understand, but it is more so to say that I am getting the degree nonetheless. I think it's fun to talk about doctrine and I love understanding God's word deeper.

I suppose it's more of a personal issue, I'd rather not put my personal life and be specific to which university. But I love it and I really love learning.
