Quite the opposite. Their hearts need no coaxing to be hard nor their eyes to be more blind. Jews kill others: Evangelicals "Well, they're God's chosen people. They probably had a good reason." Jews kill others: Evangelicals "Well, everyone who against what the Jews do is against God." Jews...

Anabaptists are what's served before the Baptists.

Yeah. The postulate that the recipients of Abraham's promises were all his natural dependents falls apart in so many places only a scheme against the truth could foment the argument. Consider also that Israel's status among Evangelicals - as irreproachable - has prevented the message of...

I think this refers to the appearing of the stark division between those who are in Christ and those who are of the world. The "one like unto the Son of man" represents the Body of Christ in heaven. The action of reaping is the bringing together, in one accord, the Body in heaven and on earth -...

Romans 16:19-20a “Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil. The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.” "Take your sickle and reap..." is a command given to "one like unto the Son of...

So, some of you have no problem with the Lord taking orders from an angel? The verse is this: "..one sat like unto the Son of man..." for a reason.

In character, there was no difference. Some examples of differences: Jesus had a body that could be injured or killed, could grow tired and hungry, etc. Jesus was limited in time and space in that He could only be in one spot at one time. Upon His resurrection He became the Life-giving...

Ah. I see what you meant. I agree with your conclusion. However, there are many natural things in creation that have a spiritual antecedent in eternity.

It is very rare that I mix human emotion with God's character. I think you're projecting into the text something that is not in there but is in you. Do you want help?

"Who can resist God?" The Jews could, and their fathers. Stephen said this, for example: “You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you." The people who ignore the higher powers established by God for another...

You must have meant to quote someone else. My question was: So, when Paul said that "Abraham's descendants" really meant "Abraham's singular Seed which was Christ" you understand Paul's definition to be the true one, correct?

"You serious, Clark?"

I missed that you saw my point but for the sake of explanation I'll expound a bit. First, restraint does not only act on bad behavior. It merely limits possible behaviors. God the Father is restrained by love. "God is love". It's His nature. So what He does will always be consistent with love...

Since you started it... Did Jesus change from being a little baby to an adult man? If you answer "Yes" then how do you deal with "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever."? Furthermore, Jesus refers to Himself as "the Son of Man" many times. How do you reconcile that with the...

Shall I expound upon the differences between God the Father and Jesus or are you content with your current level of understanding?

Ironically, one can make a pretty solid argument that the unrighteous elevation of natural Israel to irreproachable status has caused the death of 10’s of thousands of Jews.

If you’d like, I can explain why it is restraint.

“Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours be done.” His will: “take this cup away from me”. The Father’s will: “I will not”. Even though Jesus had a personal will, He obeyed the Father.

Jesus was restrained in that His desire could conflict with His Father’s. Yet, Jesus never disobeyed His Father. He did the will of His Father perfectly. BECAUSE that was true, after His death He was given all authority in heaven and on earth. Christ Jesus is now only restrained by love, as it...
