Does that mean the original readings were longer by 1300 years?

God chooses individuals for salvation on the basis of crediting their faith in the truth as righteousness. 2 Thessalonians 2:13, Romans 4:23-25 2 Thess 2:13 says through faith in the truth, and only by jumbling the word does anyone see "NOT through faith in the truth. Those that believe God...

Sheep and goats are individuals, born anew believers and non-believers.

God chooses individuals for salvation on the basis of crediting their faith in the truth as righteousness. 2 Thessalonians 2:13, Romans 4:23-25

God chooses individuals for salvation on the basis of crediting their faith in the truth as righteousness. And not one OT saint was transferred into Christ, who was located in Heaven, before Christ died providing our means of reconciliation. That is why they had to "wait" to be made perfect...

Why does "from the beginning" refer to "from the beginning of the New Covenant," and NOT from the beginning of creation? Answer, no one was chosen by being spiritually transferred into Christ before Christ died. Recall Abraham's bosom, and Jesus declaring no one, not one OT saint, had gone up...

The verse [2 Thess. 2:13] is a compound sentence, with subjects, verbs, direct and indirect objects. There is no separate thought. We should always give thanks to God for you as beloved by the Lord. Subject, =We; Verb = should give thanks, direct object = God; indirect object for you the...

Fine, but I wonder why all the people of one nation are sheep and another nation are goats. :)

I completely disagree that Christ did not come with the gospel of grace for all humanity. And then He said to them, “You foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! “Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to come into His glory?” Then...

Yes, our difference seems based on a different understanding of the meaning of the Greek word translated "nations." This word, in this grammatical form, nominative plural neuter, appears about 24 times in our NT. Here, I believe, the word is used to refer to the multitude of individuals all...

Christians do unto others as they would have other do unto them. They were persuaded to commit to Christ. Just how this was accomplished is up for debate, but all of us agree we are to spread the word through persuasion, not compulsion. The idea of conducting the ministry of Christ by...

In Matthew 25: 31-46 Jesus teaches about the end of the age of grace. He will begin is Millennial reign, sitting on His thrown. Some have read this passage and conclude, mistakenly in my opinion, that Christ's division will be based on works. But I believe "giving to Christ what He needed"...

Thanks, but since Christ was accepted by some (His disciples such as Paul) the chronology does not seem to have carried worthwhile weight. Does Christ's fulfillment of prophesy get negated if either timeline is accepted as the correct one?

I see where a construction project for our shipyards was recently announced. The potential problem with all very expensive military hardware (like the B-2 bomber) is we should avoid putting too many eggs in one basket. It might be that low earth orbit hypersonic weapons might destroy most...

The verse is a compound sentence, with subjects, verbs, direct and indirect objects. There is no separate thought. We should always give thanks to God for you as beloved by the Lord. Subject, =We; Verb = should give thanks, direct object = God; indirect object for you the beloved. We should...

How would the addition to or deletion of the timeline discredit Jesus?

1) Addressing my qualifications rather than the topic. This marks the poster as a deceiver using fallacious argumentation. 2) Totally made up false claim with no evidence. This again marks the poster as a deceiver using fallacious argumentation. 3) Totally made up false claim with no...

More absurdity posted by the non-stop fount of falsehood. Many will seek to narrow door is scripture, many will NOT seek the narrow door is Calvinism.

Yet another Calvinist falsehood proclaimed to derail discussion of the truth of the gospel.

Still this buffoon tries to hid is ignorance by hurling idiotic insult. He did not know the difference between continuing in the present and continuing in the future. These false claims are the house of cards, Calvinism is built upon. Many seek the narrow door precludes no one ever seeks...
