Greetings again JD731. I hope your Sunday was a blessed one. Thank you for your post and your dedication to the study of our Lord's word so that we might discover the great wonders of God's truth. After a first read of your last post, post #15. I must admit, we appear to be far from the more...

Thank you for the compliment. The truth of my words, if there are any, is from God. All the errors are mine. Glory be to God! Peace to you as well, brother

Greetings And thank you for what appears to be a considerate, well thought out post. I agree with some of your analysis. But where I didn't agree was when you said in post #4... There are some nit-picky things I would change the wording (because I think they would lead to error) but the...

Greetings JD731. Hope and Peace to you in our Lord Jesus Christ Further, there are no verses that say that angels can impregnate human woman. Lets use some biblical reasoning skills on this topic. Argument from Reason - After Their Own Kind Concept We are instructed in 1 Corinthians 15:39-40...

Greetings to th1bill JD731 in our Lord Jesus Christ. May God's truth pierce the darkness of our minds and break down walls we have constructed against His truth. To be transparent before starting this post, angels did not procreate with human woman nor is their any evidence that they did...

Greetings Silverhair. Thank you for your witness and contribution to our seeking God in our posts. My apologies for what appears to be my misunderstanding on your position. My misunderstanding has clearly derailed us from drilling down on the points of the issue that are needed. I had...

Greetings again Silverhair. What a great day the Lord has made. I don't remember this distinction...it might have been your post I didn't have time to get all the way through. I agree that this kind of distinction can be a valid one (depending upon its use). One issue would be, does one...

Greetings I am going to try and incorporate the Sower Parable into the John 15 4-6 verses to keep us in that frame. It will probably turn from the traditional. To me, if we relate the two verses then the "seed" is the equivalent of the "vine". One is the word of life, the other the vine of...

Greetings to you brother, Silverhair. Grace and Hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. Regarding soil #2, we in large part seem to agree. The fact that Matthew depicts soil #2 as "endures only for a while" (Matt 13:20) seems to correlate with your description, above. You later wrote about soil #2...

Greetings Silverhair. Grace and Love in our Lord Jesus Christ. I would like to start by saying I haven't read much of what others are saying to you, and only some of your comments. So you might treat this post to you as a standalone that doesn't know the points that have been made previously...

Greetings to you Martin. I'm on my way to an appointment so don't have much time. It seems to me that justification is a one-time legal, if you will, act that makes a person in "right standing" with God. IMO, it relates to the law. Forgiveness, if we are seeking differences (because they...

Greetins Van. I was reading over some of what you wrote and thought I'd make some comments. I'm not sure which people you refer to that think the division "will be based on works". But for me, the general concept of the divisions in Matthew 25 are something similar to Romans 1:19-24 and...

Greetings Dave G. Peace and hope to you in our Lord Jesus Christ. Just as a nitpick, the word "hearken" means 'pay attention and listen'. So it seems to me that it is not a word that belongs with the point you are making. (1) comprehend/understand (ἀκούει G191possible definition given by...

Greetings Is this actually true? The problem is that the statement, which I know is a common Reformed assumption, is that it assumes a negative inference to be clearly true (and it is not clearly true, logically). The Negative Inference 1. The sheep hear my voice, I know them, and they...

Greetings to you JonC. Long time no write. :) Been away on a project. Musing on your topic, it seems to me that this word "punishment" can be put under the category of "creational experience", i.e., simply all the experience we face in God's creation. This creational experience can be said...
