As the proud possessor of a British passport, I have always been aware of "Withour let or hindrance," but the term has been there since at least the early 19th Century, and I doubt that most British people know what it means, let alone foreigners, so it's really not that helpful and only...

More than Conquerors was the book that really helped me. When I read Revelation, I couldn't understand it. The world kept coming to an end and then cranking up again (e.g. Rev. 6:12-7:1). M.T.C. showed me how to read the book so that it made sense. Having said that, I try not to fall out with...

Yet another 'against the person' post which is a fallacious argument. Did I say that @Van said the words "the New Covenant" appear in the context? Nope, so the implication that I did is another false clain by Van. What I said was that the words 'New Covenant' appear nowhere in 1 or 2...

A good word.

@Van constantly repeating this does not make it true. The words 'the new covenant' appears nowhere in the context of 2 Thes. 2:13. In fact, the word 'covenant' appears nowhere in the whole of 2 Thessalonians! Well maybe it pops up in 1 Thessalonians, so that the recipients would expect to...

Thank you for confirming what I wrote. Found nowhere in the 1689 Confession.

:rolleyes: I took time to explain to you that because 'have been written' is in the Perfect Tense, it means that the names were written, once and for all in the Lamb's Book of Life and they have been written there since the foundation of the world. I understand that you may not like that, but...

I think you should not constantly accuse others of making false claims. It really doesn't help your case since you only back your case up by making more false claims. That is one translation, even though it does not follow the word order of the Greek. Another translation is from the NKJV...

Acts 17:26. 'And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings.... .' This verse seems to suggest multiple nations, but only one race - the human one.

I didn't find any reference to the 1689 Confession in your link. Instead you offer one page from an American 19th Century writer of whom I have never heard. But people who come into membership of a church should undoubtedly commit themselves to regular attendance unless there is some pressing...

I must say that I don't recognize the criticisms of churches on this thread. Maybe there's a difference between churches in the UK and USA. The main difference would be in size, and I think there is a danger here. It's hard to get to know everybody is a big church, and I think some people who...

It is a perfectly clear answer, and I am amazed that you are still asking the same question. If your mother ate your breakfast for you as well as giving it to you, you have my sympathies, but otherwise, again, stop being to silly.

I think you'll find I have. You have just asked another four, which makes me wonder why I bothered to answer your first one. I think you are trying to change text of Acts 5:31 to read, '...That He might offer repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel. Unfortunately for you, that is not how...

I really don't think you have and nor do I think you have read my post #185, where I answered your question. Let me give you a hint. When you were little and your mother gave you your breakfast, does that men she ate it for you as well? Now stop being so silly.

I'm not stopping him. I don't think you have read Acts 5:31, because if you had you wouldn't ask such a silly question. Here is the text; read it again. 'Him [Christ] God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.' What do...

Why don't you just read Acts 5:31?

Perhaps I may put a different point of view here? ἀπ᾿ ἀρχῆς is found in several hundred ancient Greek MSS, while ἀπαρχήν is found, I believe, in 16. Interestingly, Codex Sinaiticus has the former, while Codex Vaticanus gives the latter. Usually they are united. While the NET is right in...

Hebrews 10:25. '... Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.' Both :).

Acts 16:31. 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.' John 6:37. 'All that the Father gives Me will come to Me.....' The giving of people by the Father to the Son comes first. The coming of those people comes afterwards. Your system has people coming to Christ first, and...

1 Tim. 2:1. 'Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men ....' So, @Silverhair, do you make supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgiving for all nine billion people in the world today? If God desired every single...
