I've never heard one christian ever say they were of the Five Foolish Virgins -
Usually, they just ignore this thread and move on.

You know, act like this thread is not really happening - like it's not even in the Bible.
You know any christian's like that?

Amazing, infallibleArbiter joined today and started a duplicate thread on the 10 virgins under current discussion, a mystery ? :giggle:

Matthew is the most Jewish centric book among the 3 synoptic gospels.

There is a very good reason why that particular parable can only be found in Matthew. Clue is found in Matthew 15:24

The Five Foolish Virgins always deny who they are or that they even exist.

The idea is off base. It's an error to approach scripture from the stand point of trying to find yourself in the passage. All scripture is about Jesus. The approach to understand the parable of the ten virgins is to ask what is Jesus teaching. What he is Teaching is that He is going to return and some will be ready and some will not. The ones who were ready came prepared so that they would not be distracted by perceived necessity. The ones who are not ready are so because, they are concerned about perceived necessity. Things that are material and of this world. So if the question is are your ready for the return of the Lord today, or are you rather concerned about material things of this world? Then you have a valid question. If it is where do you see yourself in scripture it is not a valid question.
Casting judgement upon people because they are not looking for themselves in the passage but do not know how to articulate the thing that is in their heart, as I was able to; is out of line. Quite frankly it raises some red flags.

There you go again with your "correctly apportioning the word of truth." 2Tim2:15

Good work! (y)


In Matthew 25:10, the CONTEXT is concerning "the wedding FEAST [/FESTIVITIES]" (not "the MARRIAGE")... He is not coming then for the purpose of "MARRYING" 10 (or even 5) "virginS". No.

"Feast/Festivities" ≠ "Marriage [/Union]"

(though, yes, the "5 virginS" are also saved persons [thus will ENTER the promised and prophesied EARTHLY Millennial Kingdom--aka "the kingdom OF THE heavenS--upon His "RETURN" to the earth (see also Lk12:36 and context)]... just like "the FRIEND of the Bridegroom" was also a saved person, but not being identified as "the Bride/Wife [SINGULAR]" [<--the betrothed "A CHASTE VIRGIN [SINGULAR]" of 2Cor11:2, presently])

Spoken as one of the Five Foolish Virgins.
 
The user name says it all. This "person" considers himself Judge over us all. He has a wake-up call coming.

I tend to think it's more likely he's role-playing a part he perceives others here (on CC) to be.

But, who knows... just a guess. = )

While I like your optimism, I would encourage you to read his responses again. He needs a one-way trip to Banville.

Another of the Five Foolish Virgins announcing their Foolishness.
Too satanically arrogant to admit one or the other - because they know they are not of the Five Wise Virgins.

Yes, Infallible Arbiter, love that one, it's my fifth profile here - The antichrist's always have to ban hard-core universalist's like me.
They can't handle the heat of the WORD.
"A spiritual man judges ALL THINGS" - I Cor 2:15 . . . they have 'good judgment'.
