Got you. Being that Ezekiel got this prophecy in Babylon makes sense that Ezekiel 36 is talking about the gathering from Babylon. Why would he skip the babylonian captivity and go thousands of years in advance? What does this do to the current regathering of Israel? Is it a fulfillment of...

Not arguing but asking: Where is the proof that it is about the babylonian captivity?

There are no faithful nations. There has never been. You can say Israel in the past but look what happened to them?

We aren't here to preserve political nations or empires. Think about what you are saying. Jesus said this during the pagan Roman Empire. The strongest 1st century Christians weren't in it to preserve the Roman Empire or even change it. We are to call people out of it, out of the world and into...

Islam is going to take over Europe that is for certain. Nothing can stop it as the europeans want open borders and the birth rates are abysmally low. What changed since 1948? The state of Israel and the expulsion of the Arab population in the land. They say it belongs to them, the Jews say...

It is not necessary. The apostles quoted the septuagint which was a greek translation of the Tanakh. They quoted it as the word of God and it can be proven they quoted the septuagint in particular because of the quotes in Hebrews which do not match the masoretic readings but do match the...

James 4:7 “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” These two go hand in hand, you cannot resist the devil and fight him if you aren't submitting to God. 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is...

Can you give some examples of these?

Dispensational heresy served on a plate of confusion. Very serious as this seems to be a hyper-dispensationalist view. You just said the Church is without covenant... That means you are not saved if you aren't in covenant with God. The Bible teaches, not read through the dispensational...

The whole earth does not necessarily mean the entire planet in the Bible, the third kingdom in Daniel 2 is also said to rule the entire earth, and Greece never did. Just like "all the nations" in the Bible usually means the nations around Israel. "Far north" means areas around Turkey.

How do you interpret the book of Revelation and Daniel then? So many specifics and time measurements. That is why I am on the fence. I sympathize with open theism but at the moment I do believe God knows the future exhaustively.

Synergy is actually used in the Bible. The word monergism never is. If monergism were true, universalism would follow since God wants everyone to be saved and Jesus died for all. What does that mean? Synergism is the truth. This is why Paul says Be ye reconciled but also warns us not to...

I thought the first resurrection is for the saved and the second is for the lost?

What about those who seek and convert to Islam? Buddhism?

I don't know if you are married or not, but if you are: Remember when you were sending out invites to your wedding to all the people who you didn't want to show up? Oh hold on a minute.

Agreed, and nothing in Revelation even hints at it being years instead of days. Not all premillennialists believe in the pre-trib rapture, that is a dispensational belief but there is also historic premillennialism. I believe it is either 3,5 years or 7 years. Im not dogmatic on it because it...

He was saved, we know because Jesus said his name was in the book of life: Luke 10:17-20 The seventy-two returned [Judas is one of these 72] with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.” He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you...

Is 2 Cor written on ink?

Gotta be careful with Paul. He uses the word law in different ways. We are not under the law of Moses. We ARE under the law of Christ. 1 Corinthians 9:20-21 To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might gain Jews; to those who are under the Law, I became as one under the Law, though not...

Very good post I have noticed this same thing. The 'not of works' is immediately parroted. What is so perplexing is that nobody in the Bible teaches against works. Not even Paul rightly understood. The controversy was about the believing Pharisees requiring gentile converts to be circumcised...
