I have not asked you to do so. I have made no argument whatsoever, either against nor in favor of the Trinity doctrine. The things I've said have some connection to the doctrine but are not predicated on it. In other words, the things you say are false but not because you deny the Trinity...

Quick update.... I don't run the program very often and when I do, I only run it for about 15 minutes at a time because it really gets the CPU hot! My latest version of the program has run for 3 hours and 20 minutes at an average of 1,050,702.87 tries per second for a total of 12,608,509,439...

I simply see nothing about Passover that has anything to do with Paul's gospel nor do I see it's fulfillment as any indication that anything would change in regard to keeping the Law of Moses. Passover and Moses are as linked together as they could possibly be. In other words, if Peter, James...

@Insight me, So, I'm running very low on patience with this literal stupidity. I wrote what follows and then ran it through Chat GPT to help tone down my irritation with this nonsense because I'm trying my best not to create needless enemies. This, however, is your last opportunity to respond...

No, Jesus revealed it to the Apostles before His assention... Luke 24:44 Then He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.” 45 And He...

What we our to the Fed certainly does not matter at all. The only reason it isn't wiped off the books is because of the way the market works. It would crash the bond market. But no one expects that portion (about 20%) of our national debt to ever get repaid. The chunk that is owed domestically...

This all seems very simple to follow. I cannot imagine what Bladerunner's motives are but there isn't any way he doesn't understand what you're saying. He's surely just playing games.

Oh my goodness, this is frustrating. Okay, let's come at this from a different direction. Assume that I agree with every syllable you will ever say about the Apostles and their converts having to obey the law - because I do. There is exactly zero need for you to establish that point. I get it...

Yes. By far. No comparison. 70% of our debt is owed to the Federal Reserve and to U.S. citizens or domestic entities. Speculative. According to 1 Kings 10:14, Solomon received 666 talents of gold annually. That's roughly 50,000 pounds or 800,000 ounces, which would amount to over $1.8 billion...

I ask once again, what in the world does any of that have to do with whether the apostles understood Calvary to be a fulfillment of several of their feast days (Passover, Unleavened Bread and First Fruits)? These are Jewish holidays. Their fulfillment would not have implied anything related to...

Yes, Christ literally means “Anointed One,” and it is used in places to translate the Hebrew Mashiach (Messiah). However, the idea that the Septuagint or Douay-Rheims arbitrarily replace the Hebrew word “anointing” with Christ everywhere is simply false. Translators render Christos only where...

This is all just revisionist nonsense, which I think I've established well enough with my responses to your other posts which I can't even tell that you're bothering to read. I won't waste any more time with this literal stupidity.

Actually, the total on the debit side of the ledger is more like 45 trillion, but that is genuinely beside the point. There are individual citizens of America that are worth more in terms of total net wealth that Solomon ever owned combined throughout his life and the land mass that Ted Turner...

Of course it does! Wealth is more than money. You and I benefit from the wealth generation of countless people all over the planet. You can go right now and buy a tiny device that fits in your pocket and connects you instantly to the entire world's knowledge and communication networks, a...

Okay, I'm very confused. We are both Mid-Acts dispensationalists. What does that have to do with whether or not the Apostles understood that Jesus was the Passover Lamb and that Calvary was the fulfillment of the whole of Passover? There's no doubt at all that John knew it.... John 1:29 –...
