Personal opinions bore me to death. I do not care what you "do not think" is true. Can you establish ANY of this with scripture? NOPE! Will you even try? Nope!

You are a liar, marke! There is no way you could have asked the questions you asked in your last post had you read it. You aught to be ashamed of yourself.

You don't have to tell me that! I'm the one here always begging people to make an argument and stop pretending like just because they've stated their opinion that it counts as having made an argument, much less counting as having established their theological position. False! You'd know better...

Yeah, I don't know what "PCE interpretation" means either. My bet is that if/when you (we) discover what it means that we'll simultaneously discover that ttruscott is not a Christian in the normal sense of the term and that it's more than a little bit of a waste of time to be debating Christian...

Great. What was the point of pointing that out? Yeah, so what? "Former pastor" explains a great deal about your stubbornness on this forum. Of all the people in the world, pastors are the most entrenched in their doctrine. They've spent too much time and money learning what they believe to...

Answer me directly, marke. Have you read any of the things we've linked to that explain what it is we are proposing? Yes or no. That answer is no. I know that it is because the ignorance you've been displaying here for a week or more. It isn't a statement about your intelligence it's just a...

I don't really care anything about what you "believe". What I'm here for is to debate. The case has been made that your belief is wrong. You can choose to ignore it and bore everyone here to death or you can apply yourself to defending your faith and make an argument either in defense of your...

"PCE interpretation"?

No, Jesus was not to be the first King but the last. I'm saying that its plainly obvious to everyone who's done something other than listen to sound bite theology from their pastor's pulpit that God had a king in mind for Israel all the time and that the Messiah would be the last King of the...

There is no congress in the system we are advocating. Laws are not to be made, they are to be discovered and then enforced by the governing official. God has laid out a complete legal justice system in the bible complete with the role that a king would play in that system. There isn't any way...

All true. What's your point?

Neither do I. No one here is in support of putting anyone in a position of absolute power. Have you been reading anything we've suggested you read? No, of course your haven't because you're a lazy waste of everyone's time. In the biblical system that we are advocating the king would have no...

Not at the time or in the manner that they did so but as has been pointed out to you many times already, it is clear that God had it in mind for Israel not only to have a kingdom with a king but for the Messiah to eventual sit on that throne.

I refer you again to my previous post.... All systems will have flaws, yes, but the system being discussed here wasn't proposed lightly. Israel didn't really demand much of a move. It was not a fundamental change in the form of government, it was merely the installation of a king to preside...

I suspect because it took more faith than they could muster to accept God as their King. I'm sure they felt like having an invisible God as the King was like not having a king at all and they wanted a king that they could see with their own eyes like everyone else around them had. That's pretty...

Why can't it be right? Logical Necessity 1 That state of things which obliges something to be as it is because no alternative is logically possible. Further, it doesn't lock the real God into anything anyway because the real God doesn't actually know the entire future! That's the whole point...

Yes, and then that argument was rebutted by more than one of us who not only explained that it would only apply in the context of a nation that God had offered to rule as King over and provided ample resources to other more substantial rebuttals to your interpretation that come with scores of...

Everyone can have an opinion. The difference is whether that opinion can be established by scripture AND sound reason. This is a debate forum not a personal opinion forum. Please, please try to apply yourself toward making actual logical arguments. It will be much more enjoyable both for you and...

Exactly my position! There seems no good reason to leave the selection entirely up to a purely random selection where every male in the country is on equally likely to be selected as the king of an overtly Christian nation.

Take your time. I totally get it.
