Will you exegete Matthew 23:37? “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing."

Yes indeed. Also if we were to take just one verse you wouldn't even need faith, just be meek and you will inherit the earth.

As always, as a calvinist you are operating on the false premise that there is only one will and that is God's will. There is man's will also which often conflicts that of God's. Jesus wanted to gather Jerusalem's children but guess what? They refused. Not a failure on Jesus' part. Matthew...

A doctrine invented centuries after Christ and the Apostles is the Gospel? Preposterous. There is not a single book of the Bible you can read through that doesn't utterly refute the philosophy that is calvinism. I would urge everyone to avoid any "isms"

How can you call the Bible God's word if there are "irreconcilable discrepancies" in it?

Calvinism's foreknowledge isn't what you and I think when we think of foreknowledge. When we think of it, we think God knows something beforehand. What they teach is that foreknew is an active verb, it is something God does, God knows these people, these elect people. From eternity past of...

I have also RETURNED to pre-trib. That is what I believed when I first got saved for many years. Then I got tricked by the posties. If there is no pre-tribulation rapture, the sheep and goats judgment makes no sense, there is no one left to populat the millennium. All the people who talk about...

Not true. I can futurism from the 2nd century in Irenaeus' writings. This is something historicists like to repeat with no evidence. Try to find me a single early Church father who claimed the 1260 days is 1260 years. Now that is a new teaching. And at the end of the day who cares about the...

I have recently embraced the pre-trib view. It is the view I was taught when I was saved and I should of stuck with it instead of wondering off into chaos. The pre-tribulation rapture not only preserves imminence but also explains so many things, such as who inherits the kingdom in the flesh...

But partial preterists DO believe in two returns of Christ. They have no leg to stand on when criticizing pre-tribbers. They believe in a judgment coming on Jerusalem in AD70 and then the official second coming at the last day.

Can you answer my question I know you and I share quite a bit similar beliefs based on me reading your post history here, I said: "Now I am starting to realize it is not so simple. Where do we place the judgment seat of Christ, sheep and goats judgment, no resurrection mentioned in Matthew 24...

Wow. You know I have been settled on my view of the rapture for years now, but I am starting to return to my roots so to speak. When I got saved I did believe in the pre-trib rapture. Then I read Matthew 24:29-31, matched it up with 1 Thess 4:16-17, Rev 11:15 and 1 Cor 15:51-53 and called it a...

There is none more prideful than the humble

Jesus' death made provision for all sin. However just because Jesus dies for a sin does not mean it is automatically forgiven. That is something only faith and repentance can do, to apply the forgiveness

I did some searching as I was sure you were using hyperbolic language but wow, these guys deny water baptism and even the Lord's supper. Horrible system. Dispensationalism taken overboard.

You got me there. I hope some molinist shows up and lets us know. I do find the behind the scenes workings of God fascinating. Sometimes we will not know this time of eternity. In the kingdom it will all make sense.

Molinism is the idea that God has middle-knowledge, knowledge of counter-factuals. God knew what every person would freely do in each given circumstance and God used that middle-knowledge prior to creation to predestine all that come to pass while people are still completely free. It is trying...

You need to stop using AI for this. It feeds you whatever info you want. I can open up chatGPT right now and get a baptism is 100% required response.

Do you believe baptism in the name of the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit is a viable form of baptism? (Matthew 28:19-20)

Don't do this to yourself. I can find verses that say Repent and be baptized. See look at Acts 2:38, you don't even have to believe! You can't just take John 3:16 and yoink it out of context and make it the end all be all. Read John 3, that same chapter says you must be born again of water...
