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 –...

I'm very certain that there isn't anyone on Earth who is certain on the question of what EXACTLY is meant by, "God is Love". "God is loving" is a lot easier, obviously, but "God is Love"? What could that mean? I do not know. I mean, there's plenty to say about various things in that direction...

The proper use of the rules of logic is "reason" (logos). Logos and logikē are of a kind just like logic and reason are in English. Saying that God is Reason (or Logic) is no different - no different at all so far as I see it - than saying that God is Love. You don't have a problem with saying...

Interestingly, it is this specific use of the English word "logic" that makes it a less than great translation of the Greek "Logos". Logos would have to do with the proper use and application of the rules of logic rather than referring to the rules themselves. That would be the Greek word...

I disagree. Solomon exceeded all the kings of the Earth up to that point and his nation was certainly more just than ours but what the United States has accomplished in terms of scientific knowledge, technology, quality of life, etc and in terms of cultural influence of the entire planet...

Seems like there's a video about the Star of Bethlehem that I think it was in.

What it means, in the context of John chapter 1 is "reason", "rational discourse", "communication", "logic". It is where we get the suffix "-ology" from - as in "biology" - "bio" (life) "ology" (the logic of). As for why it is translated "word", I'm no expert, but here's what Chat GPT said when...

Yeah, so? I honestly don't understand your argument. The events of Calvary being a fulfillment of Passover is, by definition, a kingdom / covenant of circumcision thing.

That doesn't seem relevant. Quite the contrary. Just as they understood Calvary to have been a fulfillment of Passover, they would have seen the events in the upper room as well as the pouring out of the Holy Spirit as a fulfillment of prophecy, including that of Feast of Weeks. All very Jewish...

False. The 14th of Nisan in the year 30 AD fell on Friday, April 7th. Not only is that the - by far - most commonly accepted date but it just so happens to perfectly fit the biblical narrative as has been clearly presented here without refutation or rational rebuttal. You showing up to...

So, once again, you’re veering off into a fog of historical fiction and ideological bias. Let’s clarify a few things with actual history rather than this emotional revisionism dressed up as analysis. That’s a confusing claim. The Pilgrims were among the earliest British settlers, landing in...

You ARE a fool. Do you think it was by pure luck that I nailed your doctrine after having read one single, nearly incoherent post? It wasn't luck! The labels we human beings give to things are quite useful. They go a long way toward communicating whole swaths of information in just one or two...

@Insight me, What you've posted is a bunch of gibberish and flat out falsehoods and probably intentional lies. Do yourself a favor and turn off whatever idiot is teaching you this nonsense! It's literal stupidity! False. King James I reigned from 1603 to 1625. The widespread transportation of...
