Could be, but I call it a prophecy. Not a future prophecy, but a current one for that time. We see this referenced elsewhere. Paradise....that place of comfort which is Abraham's bosom. Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise...

No, I don't think it was a parable.

You know, I just realized.....that's something I hadn't thought about. :unsure:

That's true....but Jesus was the one doing the speaking.

Right on target once again. Those who are interested in truly understanding the Bible, would do well to check these guys.

This reminds me of when Jesus said they would not believe even if one rose from the dead. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

So, back to the importance of Peter. Peter represents the remnant. The remnant refers to faithful Israel. It's faithful Israel that will go through tribulation, while enduring to the end when they will be saved. So, when we read Peter, we have to bear this in mind. "A chosen generation"...

By that remark, you prove you're too ignorant to converse with.

But they work so hard to wrest the truth of scripture. That might count toward their works salvation, do you think?

Actually you get more milk from goats than you do sheep. They're much easier to milk, too. Anyone ever tried to milk a sheep?:ROFLMAO: Genesis 27:9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:

You might be. Probably of the vulture variety.

Well, it's good that you can admit being brainwashed. Most people refuse to admit that.

You're wrong, of course. See what Paul says about coveting in Romans 7. Coveting comes from the Ten Commandments.

You are, clearly. LOL

So Paul is calling us a vineyard, too? How about an ox? Is that what you get from those verses? 1 Cor. 9:7-9 Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? 8 Say I...

Has your "belief" compelled you to do any of the same? I'll just respond to the words in red....which actually answers your entire post. NO, my belief has not COMPELLED me do DO any of those things. My belief is in the FACT that Christ is performing HIS WORK IN ME. Which is why I cannot and...

Well, there is a lot you don't know. Peculiar that you think you know what I want and don't want. I realize it's hard for you to understand that the Jews have always been God's chosen people. They are His physical people....a nation. We are a spiritual people....members of the body of...

Of course it is. He was speaking to Jews.....his fellow believers in the Messiah. YE are a chosen generation. In what way do you think gentiles could ever be called a generation? In what way do you think gentiles could ever be a kingdom of priests? A royal priesthood? Exodus 19:6 And ye...

No, he was writing to the scattered remnant. That remnant that was persecuted for their testimony of Jesus Christ, the Messiah.

I call Peter the head of the remnant. He makes it clear that this remnant of Israel was a "chosen generation". A "royal priesthood". An holy NATION. A peculiar people. 1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew...
