Basically yeah.

Nice. And we can just call that "marriage". We are Christians after all. ;) :D :)

Nope. Now you're equivocating. I never said that the Elect are the same as the remnant that Paul's talking about in chapter 11, such that we can just consider them exact synonyms. You made that up.

But He did say to Peter (Peter was definitely there when this happened) after He Luke 22:19 "took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them," said, "This is my body which is given for you". This Jesus says in the context of that Peter is right there and that Jesus had already...

It's actually a worthy contention here. If morals are absolute then evolution is unlikely to be true, at least as commonly understood. Somehow morals must have evolved, but not just the cultural tradition of morality, but the actual absolute nature of particular morals, must have evolved...

But those are absolute numbers. Isn't Israel like 91% vaccinated? So that these absolute numbers are roughly equal between the vaccinated and unvaccinated means that the proportion or percentage of the unvaccinated with severe illness is like 10 times higher than among the vaccinated, doesn't it?

Why mention predestine if all that's meant is foreknow? "Predestine" means to set something in advance, why would you talk about presetting if the thing being set is going to be setting itself? It seems superfluous and basically meaningless if it's foreknowledge, to mention predestination, but...

What do these terms mean Marke?

Well, it was 'kind of' individuals, wasn't it? It was like a few thousand people, of the remnant, in chapter 11. That's only a small quantity of individuals, so does it stand to reason that individuals are predestined for saving faith?

I thought Neanderthals supposedly married Homo Sapiens Sapiens? Are they saying that the offspring from these marriages suffered from infertility, like donkeys and horses and mules?

Prove it.

A typical 'Protestant-istic' way of looking at our faith, with 'overweighting' on our scriptures. Examine the historical institutions of the ancient Church, and there's no room for any doubt.

He's vehemently Antichrist so this is actually just more evidence in support that He indeed did walk the earth. I compliment him for honesty and integrity because I can't find a PhD in a relevant field who appears to wish more that He never existed. [Edit: iow Carrier (with honesty and...

In fact there isn't the slightest hint of circumcision being taught by anybody in the New Testament, with the exception of those who are characterized as troublemakers. Circumcision seems to represent the Old Testament or Old Covenant.

In other words it's not demonstrated because it's basically not demonstrable. 'Convenient.' Nor with evolution, as you've just confessed above. You're arguing against yourself. Yes. The Resurrection of Christ is actually way better supported than evolution is, and it requires way less...

Right. I think the main reason I hesitate is because there are other passages where it seems to describe a two-part 'model' of humanity rather than a three, although I agree and admit that Paul seems to have a three-way division in mind. Perhaps Paul's spirit and soul together equals what...

I don't know who wrote Hebrews and so I don't know if he or she learned justification by faith from Paul or not, but he or she certainly knew justification by faith and knew that it is taught in the Old Testament because the OT scripture is quoted in Hebrews just as surely as it's quoted by...

I think the Scripture is at least equivocal on the matter. I say overlap meaning that mainly 'spirit' and 'soul' denote the same thing, but maybe slightly distinct. Certainly I think that our physical body is one thing, and then our immaterial part or parts is another, and I think there are...

Spirit and soul are overlapping concepts in the Scripture.

The Lord preached the 'DBR' to His disciples; this account of His 'earthly ministry' is well supported in the record (i.e., in the four Gospels). It was before the 'DBR' actually occurred, and none of them 'got it'. And then when the 'DBR' did happen, they still didn't 'get it.' It wasn't...
