    The Book of Revelation: Mystery Or Profitable?

    Never suggested otherwise. Sheesh, you people are thin skinned! That isn't true at all! Who told you this?! The rhetorical power of questions is as old as literature! There's even a word for answering a question with a question. It's called "maieutics". It's associated with the Socratic method...

    The Book of Revelation: Mystery Or Profitable?

    Who is it here who's being hostile again? Sheesh! I've read Galatians so many times that I have literally lost count - along with the whole rest of the bible, by the way. And it isn't merely that Paul went to the Gentiles, it's that he had to tell the Twelve what gospel he was preaching! He...

    @blackSand You are a lunatic. I do not discuss Christian doctrine with non-christian weirdos. It's not like you were responding to anything I said anyway. Just another in a long line of waste of time buffoons. Good bye.

    The Book of Revelation: Mystery Or Profitable?

    Look, if you don't want to talk about it then don't but something is not irrelevant by virtue of the fact that you declare it to be so. It's not like I ever had any delusions of ever convincing you of anything in the first place. So what? If you were half as intellectually honest as you...

    The Book of Revelation: Mystery Or Profitable?

    We were told that! The Apostles in Jerusalem had a meeting with Paul, who was instructed to attend BY REVELATION no less (Gal. 2:2), where they heard the gospel that Paul was preaching and then agreed with Paul that they (Peter, James, John, etc) would minister the Gospel of Circumcision to the...

    The Book of Revelation: Mystery Or Profitable?

    Actually that claim was not made. The claim that was made is that the letters to those churches were to members of the Kingdom (i.e. those who came to Christ during the previous dispensation). Had Jesus wanted to address Paul's converts, He'd have sent the letters through Paul.

    The Book of Revelation: Mystery Or Profitable?

    Answer the question, Tambora.... Do you believe that there was salvation for gentiles apart from Israel? Was Paul wrong when he told the Ephesians.... Ephesians 2:12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of...

    The Book of Revelation: Mystery Or Profitable?

    Wow! Two one liners in one post! The substance and depth you bring to the discussion is truly breath taking! So what is your point here exactly? Do you believe that there was salvation for gentiles apart from Israel? Was Paul wrong when he told the Ephesians.... Ephesians 2:12 that at that...

    Unless the one being punished is both innocent of his own wrong doing and being so punished voluntarily. John 10:17 “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. 18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I...

    God

    B57 thinks you're right! According to him and those who believe the irrational nonsense they believe, they agree with you that God could have done ANYTHING AT ALL but chose, for no reason at all other than that it pleased Him to do so, to have His Son murdered as payment for the sins of the...

    The Book of Revelation: Mystery Or Profitable?

    You made claims. That's not the same as substantiating anything. I make no such assumption. God's word tells us EXPLICITLY that Peter, James and John agreed that they would minister to Israel while Paul ministered to the Gentiles. One test of whether that is true is to read things written by...

    The Book of Revelation: Mystery Or Profitable?

    This was a lie. The previous "three steps forward and two steps back" comment is proof enough to anyone who knows anything about dispensationalism that you haven't the faintest clue about what it teaches or why it teaches it. What's more is that you don't care what it teaches or why and aren't...

    The Book of Revelation: Mystery Or Profitable?

    It's directly related to what was said in the opening post, Ariel. You simply don't have a response to any of it and are looking for excuses to go on posting one post after another after another after another as though you're some sort of bible scholar and TOL your private blog site.

    The Book of Revelation: Mystery Or Profitable?

    This is a thread where someone brought up the seven churches and made a unsubstantiated claim that these churches were somehow both Jewish and Gentile, which is not true and which I proved was not true by directly quoting the very scripture that was brought up and which you have no completely...

    The Book of Revelation: Mystery Or Profitable?

    Umm, yeah, I just did that. No kidding. So was Paul. Saying it doesn't make it so. We are told explicitly that Peter, James and JOHN would minister to the circumcision (i.e. Israel) and that Paul would minister to the Gentiles. Galatians 2:7 But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel...

    The Book of Revelation: Mystery Or Profitable?

    The Book of Revelation was written to Jewish believers. That is Kingdom believers of the previous dispensation, as apposed to those who are in the Body of Christ. Note the Jewish, Kingdom, priesthood, law orientation throughout... Revelation 1:5 ...To Him who ..... 6 ....has made us kings and...

    Dinosaurs are fake and leads to atheism!

    I agree! Accepting the existence of the Tooth Fairy would literally be easier than rejecting the existence of God. The evidence for His existence is literally everywhere you look and the closer you look the more evidence you find! The existence of God is so in your face obvious that every...
