When will the LAST NON-JEW be saved [literally not one more gentile can/will accept salvation] so that the Blindness can be temporally lifted? I just wonder if people have thought through how that could possibly work.

Tommy G was pretty biased in his presentation. Just one example is where he spoke about Jewish people going into the West Bank and just "bulldozing" buildings and taking them from Palestinian Families living there. I just happen to know some of the facts about how complicated that issue really...

Romans 2:28-29 (It is handy when the Bible answers these questions for us.)

So no eating Ivanka. I wonder if that is more a “split of her hoof” issue or a “chewing her cud” issue. ;)

Could anything be less relevant to anything than whether Ivanka’s “rejection of so great a salvation” is accepted or rejected by an apostate sect that denies the Son of God, the only way to the Father?

Historically and Linguistically, was the term “Jew” not derived from “Judah” and a reference to the half-Kingdom with a link to the historic tribes of Judah, Benjamin and the landless tribe of Levi?

We are indeed BOUGHT. Setting aside the OT and Gospels (where it talks about buying things) here are the exact verses using the term [G59] “agorazō”: [1Co 6:20 NASB20] 20 For you have been bought[G59] for a price: therefore glorify God in your body. [1Co 7:23, 30 NASB20] 23 You were...

I desire NOTHING less than I desire to argue this point, however, I will offer one small observation of a selective re-interpretation and then leave the matter. Examining the LAW of Leviticus 5 closely, note: Lev 5:4-6 [NKJV] 4 'Or if a person swears, speaking thoughtlessly with [his] lips to...

As the parable of the Forgiven Servant in Matthew 18 illustrates, they are not the same. The debt was “canceled” without being “paid”. The difference is “forgiveness” vs “restitution” of the debt. Is “sin” a debt that ”restitution” can be “paid” for, or a debt is “cancelled” by offering...

False … but a conversation ender.

Gal 3:13 [NKJV] Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed [is] everyone who hangs on a tree"), Perhaps a bit pedantic, but “redeemed” is not “paid in full” either. Galatians is about who God has purchased, not a debt I owed that...

Strawman … you are soundly defeating arguments that I am not making. :rolleyes:

Isa 46:10 [NKJV] Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times [things] that are not [yet] done, Saying, 'My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,' Does God declare the end from the beginning? Does God’s counsel stand? Does God do all His pleasure? Is God sovereign...

Reader’s Digest discussion of the issue: Free will is the capacity of individuals to make meaningful choices and exert control over their actions, independent of prior events, external coercion, or physical laws. It is the foundation of moral responsibility, serving as the basis for how we...
