Too bad John didn't elaborate so future readers of scripture would have the understanding of the plain reading. Darn his hide! hehe!

One can find crimes committed in all tribes. Some do, yes.

Then go ahead and give your "sound reasoning" for 666.

Possibly. But the list of the tribal names in Revelation differs from all other lists of tribal names. The most notable being the exclusion of Dan which is in every other tribal list in scripture. So what the "plain reading" of the Revelation verse that excludes Dan supposed to be?

Or, one should consider that their sound reason and their plain reading of scripture could be wrong. Just as the disciples learned when the master of scripture understanding was in their midst and they still didn't have it figured out. No argument there. Anyone can believe that they are the...

True. And more information keeps coming to help with those interpretations. Just imagine all the wealth of info revealed through the Dead Sea Scroll that had been stored for centuries and written in the languages of that day. Not only were tons of fragments of the OT found, but commentaries and...

Amen. I have enjoyed studying with you for many years. Fond memories.

Many years ago I bought the Bullinger Companion bible with the full appendixes. It's a huge book! He's not a Mid Acts dispensationalist, he's an Acts 28 dispensationalist. I have respect for anyone that goes through the entire bible with a fine-toothed comb like he did. And he did it without a...

Yep, I can relate. What seems to be the right understanding today may not be what seems to be the right understanding tomorrow. And whatever one's understanding was yesterday, I'm sure it was expressed with the same zeal and conviction as their new understanding.

To sum it all up ...... Proverbs 18:17 ESV (17) The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him. The only part of your post I would take slight exception to is your phrase: "the plain meaning of scripture". The reason being is that people had heard or...

Required for eternal salvation or a demonstration of eternal salvation? Works don't produce faith. But faith produces works. Works reveals (demonstrates) your faith is a real thing that folks can see. If works are absent then how does one know faith is a real thing? To demonstrate the point...

In my post #263 I gave a perspective on the use of FIRST resurrection.

OK, please name the other of the two you know of for the type of eternal salvation. And that eternal life salvation is the one I would like a list of the gospels for mankind.

Anytime one says that works are required for eternal salvation is to say that they merited it by their works and God owes them.

List how many types of eternal salvation there are. Thanks.

Well, perhaps, but I have my doubts. It is Paul that teaches ...... Galatians 2:21 ESV (21) I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose. And so does the author of Hebrews ..... Hebrews 7:11 ESV (11) Now if perfection had...

And how about the resurrection of Christ? And what about the resurrection of the ones that came out of their graves when Christ died? And what about the resurrection of Lazarus? And the resurrection of Jairus’ daughter? And the widow's son --1 Kings 17:22 etc. etc. etc. So how come the...

OK. Just list the ones that are for eternal salvation.

How many gospels does scripture record from Genesis to Revelation for eternal salvation?

Revelation records a 1st resurrection but not a 2nd resurrection. Revelation records a 2nd death but not a 1st death.
