I don't know about that. If time doesn't exist, then maybe 7 million years is in the ballpark.

And why we don't claim scientist's explanations as "facts".

So now you're saying Peter should have been reaching out to Gentiles after the Cornelius episode, because there was a change in focus? Then we are in agreement. Paul's conversion? I thought you guys were "mid" Acts dispensationalists. So why do you point out that Paul says "now I turn to the...

I don't disagree that Jesus was only sent to the lost sheep of Israel. The question was whether the 12 apostles were only supposed to go to Israel.

As @Clete pointed out, you're assuming what we know are facts, and not speculations that work for certain predictions. Well, that third one is more supported by consensus. So at any point in time, the consensus is likely wrong. So it would be less likely for the future generations to reproduce...

You should be able to say the same thing about any point in history...that all will be rediscovered. But that suggests either that we've already explained everything correctly...and so had the people at any point in history..., or that we're wrong about some stuff, in which case we wouldn't...

But that's not context, that's pretext. Throwing it out there as if it somehow means Peter wasn't supposed to go to the Gentiles is directly contradicted by the story of Cornelius. Jesus wasn't sent to the Gentiles, we both agree. But He was sent FOR all men, whosoever believes on Him. You...

I agree. But neither refers to "Israel" as an entity.

Absolutely! Especially since Jews weren't supposed to be hanging out with Gentiles, according to the Jews of Peter's day. And if those at Jerusalem were so fervent to follow the law, they wouldn't hang out with Gentiles. Neither would they live like Gentiles, as Peter was doing. Right...that...

And that's why he was hanging out with Gentiles? That's a funny way to limit one's ministry to non-Gentiles. Right. The ones Peter was writing to. Maybe so, but for now you agree that they aren't separated, right? Is "a man" single or plural? And which came first, "a man" or "ye"? Thus, which...

And Gentile believers, who are strangers to their own peoples . Right...because in Christ there is no Jew or Gentile. Thus, everyone outside the church that is not a Jew is a Gentile. If you're saying the body of Christ isn't reborn in the same way as Israel, I agree. But "whosoever" doesn't...

Big tea bags

You missed one: [1Pe 1:3 KJV] Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, Here it is in the ESV: [1Pe 1:3 ESV] Blessed be the God and Father of our...

Hey, Bradley, can you quote who or what post your comment was directed at? I doubt anyone would disagree with what you said, but perhaps I didn't realize I said something against it.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/01/buttigieg-says-he-was-shocked-how-controversial-it/ Don't they know it is called "black top"?

Yes. Yes, because it is talking about this: Ephesians 2:5 KJV — Even when we were dead in sins [not alive], hath quickened us [made us alive, which is what being born is all about] together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved) Yes Romans 10:9-10 KJV — That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth...

Everybody faced with death needs to be born again with the life-giving Spirit.

Some of them used to post here.

I think this sums up this whole thread.

You seem conflicted. The concrete reality is apples. There are four of them (you know because you count them). But the concept of "4" existed before the apples, without being concrete. When the apples first dropped to the ground is NOT when "4" was created. You knew about "4" long before that...
