Circumcision came before the law. LONG before it, in fact.

It has EVERYTHING to do with them hurrying! Jesus told them to hurry to spread the message to all the cities in Israel, told them they wouldn't even be able to make it through all of them before His return, even telling them that if the people they speak to reject the message, to just keep...

Keep reading: Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke21:32-33&version=NKJV Guess what? Hardly any of the things...

Then what ARE you suggesting? Jeremiah 18 doesn't make sense? God is in control. Be He is not meticulously controlling everything at all times. God allows men to behave as they will.

Are you actually trying to suggest that if they didn't hurry, it would take them 35 years to go through all the cities of Israel? Take a look at these images and tell us seriously that you are, taking into consideration that they were instructed to just keep moving if their message was...

You seem to be missing the thrust of my argument: People do not have the right to any service that someone else provides. That's theft. The only exception is if they offer that service for free. And even then, you still don't have a right to it. As you said, if someone doesn't want to pay...

High price because the government is involved. And because some people need teachers. And having a teacher helps to avoid one's own bias. And because of that, people have the right to charge for their time teaching.

No, just tripartite. Strength is something we have. We are not "strength."

I mean, wouldn't it just mean that in one verse only two of the three are referenced, and in another, all three are referenced? Not sure why something like that would need explanation...

Long press is usually the answer. Not sure they have an option to paste as plain text though. I just use a bluetooth keyboard for typing. Then I don't have to worry about such things.

As I mentioned before, and as @Clete has pointed out for a long time on TOL, belief paradigms can blind you to what should be obvious. If you have such a rigid view of the world, that it does not allow you to view things from a different perspective, a different paradigm, then you will never be...

The only reason I can think of for why it's problematic for Lon is that it completely destroys the notion that God is "omniscient," because it shows that God learns! (Which in fact is one of the categories of verses on https://opentheism.org/verses!) That's a HUGE problem for his position. But...

Amazing insight! I had never considered that the background of the church fathers of the 3rd century onwards woud have had such an effect on what they believe, but it makes TOTAL SENSE that because they were pagans originally, and did not grow up in the scriptures, that their readings of the...

And this is why you check the original language... "Want" here is not "desire." It's "lack." “For thus says the Lord: ‘David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; nor shall the priests, the Levites, lack a man to offer burnt offerings before Me, to kindle grain...

Indeed. But one cannot be an heir if he is not part of the family. No. You have misread what is said. Not once does Paul (who is the only person to use the word in the Bible) use "predestined" when speaking of unbelievers. It's ALWAYS someone who is "in Him." Romans 8:28b-29a: "those who...

Lon, you're seriously overthinking this! I'm glad you think it was a good question, but you're overthinking it! It's an excellent point that I didn't even think of, that even further blows your position out of the water, but it wasn't what I was getting at. When I asked you, "Does your wife...

Saying it doesn't make it so.

Again, they do not have all their land back. Their land includes everything between the river of Egypt, the Nile, and the great river, the Euphrates. (Genesis 15:18) Currently, the modern nation called Israel only occupies a small portion of that land. So no, NOT fulfilled.
