Not really sure what it is you're asking. My point was contrasting the difference between the Body going out into the world on the offense, and the Body taking precautions within assemblies.

Well, I agree for the most part, but there are those who legally immigrate and should be afforded the same consideration that all Americans should bestow upon our fellow countrymen. For those as you describe, I am tickled pink to see an administration that is enforcing Law and returning to...

Sorry for the repeat. I have no problem with a historical fulfillment. Numerous prophecies have more than one fulfillment, though. The coming of Messiah has been fulfilled. The coming of Messiah is still a future event. The fact remains, though, that Babylon is still there, and still...

Well, if you don't think there is a spiritual battle going on in the assembling of the brethren, I don't know what to tell you. But that's a different discussion altogether, lol. Again, we are looking at an issue that is not involving the Body, it is the world entering into the House of God...

But it still has to be acknowledged that every individual salvation has a place in time when it occurs. It is not something one is born into this world already having. Before you placed faith in Christ you were dead. All you had was physical life. You were separated from God. Regardless of...

Sorry, no. Luke 18:9-14 King James Version 9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus...

The events of Christ's return are likened to the Flood and Sodom and Gomorrah in Matthew 24 and Luke 17. I would suggest that judgment implies anger. Consider: Exo 32:12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to...

I think Trump is checking into that, lol. Still, this is America, and those who come here legally without intent to harm America and Americans have a right to worship as they choose, just as we do. Our only real hope of combatting a muslim rise is the Gospel, in my view. God bless.

I don't know that I'd call them dangerous, lol. Probably better to look at the over-zealous as either new to the faith (and thinking that's the way it is done), or perhaps they are striving so hard because they think that in some way that ingratiates them to God or are "proving" their salvation...

Going to have to disagree. This is spoken with a context of the Body of Christ and refers to conduct within the body. Romans 13 King James Version 13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever...

No, actually they were justified. And this—in an Old Covenant context. Romans 4 is given to show a precedent for justifying individuals based on faith, yet most look at this chapter and say Abraham had received what the New Testament over and over say they had not. So, back up. Read Romans 3...

Are you arguing that Christ was slain from the foundation of the world in a literal sense?

There's actually quite a bit of Scripture that makes it clear that, while the Lord certainly knew who would be saved, they were not saved (redeemed, in an eternal context) until Christ redeemed them from their sins. You are suggesting a salvation that did not exist prior to the Cross. Here are...

I'm afraid I can't see using Christ telling a parable as a prooftext for making the Spirit of God His brother as a valid approach. Using that method, there are numerous parables that could be misrepresented as teaching something about Christ that Scripture denies elsewhere. I did take a look at...

Sorry to hear about this. I will pray for her. God bless.
