If the written scriptures were the most important consideration of God in the salvation of men, then my question is why did God wait until the beginning of the 5th millennium to write the first word to men who were not of the seed of Abraham? And why did the scriptures he wrote to the seed of...

God is in charge of his word. He can do what he pleases. It is ironic that the common idea now is that men can do anything they want with God's word, but he can't. Men say God's word cannot change and then they paraphrase it and condense it and even apply modern western culture to it and then...

Jesus, in his parables, immediately before the week leading up to his crucifixion and during that week explains in detail the reason for the casting away of Israel and his calling gentiles in his redemptive work. In Ephesians, Paul calls this "the wisdom of God." (To the intent that now unto...

Okay, I heartily agree with you that the KJV is always right. I have no doubts about that and I think there is enough internal evidence to be relatively sure that Paul authored the epistle to the Hebrews. Who penned it is something I do not have a guess about. I think a possibility that God did...

I think Timothy was unqualified on more than one count to be an author of scripture. One important fact is that all the authors of the New Testament scriptures were disciples from the beginning of the ministry of Jesus. This excludes Timothy.

Continuing my defense of the rapture of the post resurrection church of Jesus Christ upon whom it was built, which is foundationally a Jewish church (Ep 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone) but a gentile church in...

Here are three important statements of the scriptures regarding sin. I know some here will not agree. 1) Joh 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. 2) Heb 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since...

I am the guy of logic and reason, ky. If the Judge of all the earth, God the Father, has condemned all men to death, without exception, because of a single sin (their first one), which is defined as a wilful transgression of his law and he, the Judge, because of his pity provides a willing...

I do not have a clue what NT Wright said but I know what Paul said. You are one of my favorite among the Reformed, ky, but you are wrong as usual. Justification is by faith with the evidence of works under the law and before the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, but justification...

Lk 13:1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? 3 I tell you...

Some facts of the earthly ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ to Israel. He exercised his ministry to that nation as " the perfect prophet" with Moses as the greater type. Acts 3:22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like...

How do you know this? Why choose the two words you chose as examples of your premise?

I do not think I said the number 7 refers to perfect things. If I did it was a mistake on my parts because I know better. I I don't think I did. The number 7 is the number for complete things. The number 12 represents something that is unattainable from the natural man, perfect government...

Gentlemen! I have thought I will give some insight into how I know Martha, Mary, and Lazarus are representative types of, first the church of Jesus Christ, then the regenerated elect of Israel, and finally how Lazarus equals the resurrection and restitution of the nation. I could give lots of...

John 11: A Microcosm of the New Testament times. A definition of Microcosm. Small wonder that the oldest meaning of microcosm in our dictionary is “little world”: the word comes ultimately from the Greek phrase mikros kosmos, meaning “little universe.” That meaning can be applied to many a wee...
