Yes, but there seems to be reservations today. I'm just asking. I don't believe they are way ahead because with all their learning, they on the whole have rejected their only Messiah.

I may be missing something or just catching something not on point for thread: Connection between miracles and prophecy in thread? (just trying to follow, I don't always engage, enjoying it rather). I agree. Is there an overall approach to Israel today for the Christian? Pray for them...

I shouldn't have laughed at that.

Incorrect. Nice try, but I gave you me, when I was you. No longer true. You don't care. I did. Simple as that. Yes, but then no. There is no rug. It is all out in the open. Your summarizations of glib are showing. Based on YOUR value system. I'm calling it into question...

I'm addressing this as it does a better job of carrying conversation. You know, I believe where I agree and disagree on our conversation, just. I think keeping will: will is fine because I see it as you do as well. Double-pred Calvinists would also say 'just and only will.' A...

Murder and killing are two separate affairs. Yeah. You are. Do you know the difference between killing and murder? 1) Created things belong to the Creator. I can do whatever I like with my Legos, no questions asked. 2) A loving Being is at the very least trying to do the right thing, to...

My question on point: Will/since Israel may return to the Lord, it doesn't mean there are any of them now, but how does it inform our politics? You said 100%. What is our duty to God on point? None of this loaded, I'm asking from one who hasn't really thought about this particular, as a...

Yep It is a difference between decretive and prescriptive. You have a fatalist view but relationship (we aren't isolated beings) causes interaction (prescriptive). You genuinely assume too much. Your egocentric lens and thus 'truth' is biased and forged about as hard as steel. It'll go...

I likely should have started this differently as it didn't get the traction I imagined. "If you were president, would you send aide to Israel as a nation?" At a basic level, I'm asking what Christians 'should' do. I was recently reading of Israel's actions against Iran, brought...

Not the right thread, but help: Did the Jews have to accept grace, or did they yet have to keep the law as Christians? Basically clarification and a bit of the unfolding story and ty.

Ouch. Are you sure?

The times were barbaric. You are second-guessing anyone under judgement. If you are a lawyer, fine. If not you've been presumptuous. Anger? You aren't great at the lawyer thing. :plain: You aren't making a compelling argument. You've compared apples to oranges for your...

A computer doesn't mind. Similarly God who sustains everything isn't counting. It is just in His knowledge and docket. Even an Open Theist says "everything knowable." Such needs consistency. I know how many coats I own: Sure it is mundane and inane. I'm not bragging about it, I just...

This is the difference between prescriptive and decretive. Decretive: toward all creation "It was good." He made everything good. Prescriptive: He has the Son save mankind. Did He 'want' man to Fall? Of course not. It means simply God is able both to make things happen that...

I'd like to redress some of this. Don't feel you have to respond, but if I can get you to 'think' and perhaps check yourself on a few admonishments.... Ya know....if you actually read the thing :( Isaiah 45:5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me Deuteronomy 32:39...

Uhhhg, I'm caught in dictionary circular reasoning: Want: To desire (someone to do something Desire: To wish or long for; want -American Heritage Dictionary :Z

Great question, may I weigh in and ask for clarity? Bladerunner beat me seconds before I hit 'post' LOL God 'can' get what He wants. It is why there is decretive and prescriptive in understanding His will. If He insists, no one can resist His will, true? We are clay He the Potter...

He might have meant sever... :D

Let me retrack a bit: Likely hundreds of thousands. They? God? He knows the # of hairs on 8 billion heads. A few words in prayer aren't too heard. I assumed you meant "God." And our hairs fall out 24 seven as well, yet He knows how many you and I and 8 billion people have. Perhaps...

God has been teaching me the same...if it helps. I've grown to love you and appreciate you so I'm glad God clubbed me on it. In Him
