Was your father a WWII vet Eric? What was his opinion on the Japanese at the end of the war? Did he think they should have surrendered sooner? or did he think America should have just quit fighting, packed up and gone home? Or did he think the Bombs were a gift from God? Fact is, whenever...

But that is your assumption, presupposition, preconception, opinion, view. And you're presenting it as declaratory. Fact is how I worded my post is universally true for all parties, who are not Dispensationalists in some sense. We all agree to just one Apostolic narrative. Your point about...

In the UK, does anyone you know have guns?----ah ... I mean "swords?" Are you allowed to carry a gun in the UK? You personally? but also, is anyone? Yes. It was necessary for them all to be killed, rather than to defend themselves. If they had defended themselves, then this faith of ours...

@Hoping Right? You agree with this, right Hope? I'm assuming you agree with this, but I realized, I don't have any proof. I'm asking you for proof. Will you give me the proof I need, in order to establish this assumption of mine? And assuming you will provide this to me, I'm going to...

When did you actually read the whole Bible though, Hope? Was it while you were Catholic, or "after?" We don't worship the Mother; we love the Mother. Agreed. Assumptions, presuppositions, tomato-tomahto. You really can only hold assumptions which are proven to be true, otherwise they are...

I mean it takes less than a complete thought to answer that question in a wide variety of valid ways, which makes me wonder about you as a person. Frankly.

There are Gospel passages which explicitly and in no uncertain terms says Christ came in part specifically for the Gentiles, planned, known ahead of time. And, "His own received Him not." But even though "His own" (Israel) "received Him not," nonetheless still, there were those who did receive...

John 1 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

But the American Constitution is Jesus's.

I never thought we'd see the day you'd quote a Calvinist non-ironically to support your view Clete, but, here we are. ;)

" And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham"

Yes it does. He could not just all of a sudden come from out of nowhere. Why did God choose Abraham? Supra. Yes it does. Why did God choose Abraham?

Then, you are a fan of just warfare, right? Because those are some of the reasons why defensive warfare is waged. That's what I'm saying.

No fan of justice? So why do you depend on yourself instead of on God?

Isn't this the answer, which Tam has already provided? The flesh Christ was veiled in, was Israelite (Judahite) flesh. By the time of Christ there were already lost tribes, but not Judah, not yet. Judah's lost now, along with all the other ones, in spite of what people with the surname...

Always know how to find the cloud on every silver lining, dontcha Hope? There is also (and much more importantly!) much justice in waging defensive warfare. Coveting is idolatry.

I remember it as one of the gigantic changes in the rules from Little League to the "big" diamond. You could "take leads" off the bases between pitches, and you could "steal" first base on a strikeout if the catcher dropped the ball and first base was empty. So not only was everything bigger...

So climate change comes in tsunami waves and the first was in the 1870's and the second one is now? Is that what we're saying? That ... doesn't comport with Al Gore's movie.
