I’ve spent more than a year on one book (which is not long to spend). We didn’t get really deep in about a years time. How many times have you heard your a particular passage preached? More than one on the ten lepers? More than one on communion? More than one on Luke 2? More than one on David...

There is no reason to continue. I pointed out where I thought your OP was off the mark scripturally, and you do not see any reason to discuss the issues.

Ones should read my op again to refresh their memory of my reason for posting it because no one yet has dealt with my concerns. I said the following; Then I said this As far as we can know there was not a single person, including those who were closest to him who believed it was in the plan...

not by necessity. If you look at the next verses, Jesus is 12 and not able to be called a “young child.” Since we are not discussing whether or not the trip to Egypt took place, it is reasonable to conclude that the options include the trip to Egypt after 40 days but before Nazareth, or after 40...

Let me explain what I didn't want to get into from the very beginning of this. But now I have no choice it seems. I do not believe the traditional account of Christ being in a house in Bethlehem when the wise men found Him. The Law of Moses required a young Jewish boy to be presented before...

I wasn't sure that he was doing that either. I was just pointing out the time frame between Luke and Matthews accounts.

Luke 2:8-12 In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock at night. 9 And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. 10 And so the angel said to them...

How much of the story we remember is Scripture and how much is tradition? Matthew 2:1 - The text refers to wise men from the east (number unknown)... Matthew 2:1-2 - ....seeing his star which rose [in the east - TR]. ...and the star going before them and then stopping somewhere, behavior...

Why are there two stories? I see one. One chapter with the shepherds. The second chapter with the Wise Men.

Do you think maybe it took a considerable amount of time for the wise men to find Christ, being that He was now in a house (maybe Nazareth) and not the stable where He was born.

1) Luke 2:11-12, For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 2) Matthew 2:9-11, When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the...

Jumping from one verse to another in the attempt to support your view that ALL in John 12:32 means elect is deflecting It is not my gospel Ken. It is the word of God. You should take your own advice Ken. I have never said or assumed that ALL always means all people on earth but then again I do...

I was not deflecting. No, I just disagree with your false gospel. I was simply proving that you can't just assume every time you see the word "all" that it means every person on earth, as obviously in Luke 2:1 it does not.

You wanted to deflect from John 12:32 and what "all" means in that text so you jump to another verse in the attempt to support your odd view. You seem to have a real problem with context Ken. What does Luk 2:1 have to do with John 12:32 except that the word "all" is found in both verses.

"The powerful Scriptures showing that Jesus is the ‘Son’ are switched to ‘servant’ in the NKJV in Acts 3:13; "The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath Glorified His Son Jesus; Whom ye delivered up, and denied Him in the presence of Pilate, when He was...

Are you saying that you think that Caesar Augustus' decree applied to every person living on the earth when he issued that decree? How does that question relate to Luke 2:1?

So now your saying that it does not apply to anyone from 100 Ad and onward. You just keep digging a deeper hole for yourself Ken.

The "all" in the English language is "Always" determined by the context in which it is used. The context of your verse reveals that, it's common sense.

Not at all. The Bible itself proves that the word "all" does not always mean everyone who ever lived, nor does it always mean everyone living at a particular moment in time. Luke 2:1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Ceasar Augustus, that all the world should...

Funny thing… When God said the whole world, I assumed He meant the whole world. Why do you use the Word if you don’t have the faith to believe what it says? And Gill, who I also read, is wrong on this and a lot of other things. I would like to know why you think that the Blood of Jesus is...
