David, have you ever read Matthew's gospel? I am not trying to insult you but have you ever considered what it says. If you believe the words of the gospel of Matthew the question would be answered. Consider what the apostle Paul wrote to the Galatians who were having problems with the law. 4...

I am not sure what issue you have with my post. I would not disagree in the least of the literal reading of those verses, but what do they have to do the the literal reading of Jesus Christ judging the literal nations according as to how they treated Israel during the great tribulation, which I...

A one sentence exposition of the whole Bible is not sufficient for sound doctrine. Surely the mind of God is more complex than that, no?

Who being saved and lost? When? You will not explain your logic and reasoning?

Thanks David. I will fix that so it will be more easily understood. Paul was the apostle to the gentiles. The apostolic band numbering 12 apostles who were chosen to minister to Israel, the people, along with Jesus did not change. They continued after the resurrection to be called to minister to...

Au contraire! I have a great deal of interest in addressing the sheep and goats in the Olivet Discourse and accept the definition in the text. They are nations, not individuals. I will likely have more to say about it. Stay tuned if you are interested.

Please quote me saying that because I need to fix that. I did say that Paul wrote 13 letters to the church and never mentioned goats and only mentioned sheep in the context of the Jews one time. The reason for that is the fact that he is the apostle to the gentiles and his epistles will be the...

Work with me here please. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. Do you think the structure of this sentence demands that nations is the antecedent of the pronoun "them" or do you think individual...

I don't have much confidence in Gail Riplinger for several reasons but I have been looking for some proper adjectives that describes my view of John Calvin's "Institutes of the Christian Religion." You have nailed it here without even trying. Note to self: bookmark this post for an adjective...

No, I have not failed to address this Olivet Discourse. It is a prophecy that takes place on Wednesday of the week when Jesus Christ is crucified by his own nation, Judah. This is not a prophecy about you or me and it is improper and confusing for you to ignore the context. It is in the context...

What good does it do you guys to have a Bible? You cannot discern it's truths. You do not understand "the times" and the one time you are living in "now," you cannot comprehend it's mysteries. God's history is divided into times, all designed by God to culminate in his perfect will being...

The reason is because Timothy was in the church at Ephesus in the province of Asia and most of the members of that church and all the churches in that whole region were of the dispersed of the 10 tribe nation of Israel who were cut off by the Assyrians in 722 BC. I am told that genealogical...

The scriptures makes the answer to this question clear if we discern them by the Spirit and through the scriptures and consider that two groups of Jews occupied the land when Jesus came to speak to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. They were the orthodox and the Grecians and it seems they...

I think I remember you writing that the Japanese had a Bible already before you showed up. Why did you spend so much time translating a Bible in Japanese if they already had one? Why not just stab a sinner with it?

Thank you Charlie24. After seeing the various ways people interpret this passage as if these words I mentioned are not even part of the text or they have no relationship to the entire discourse or if they see no continuity of the mentioned events in spite of the language and the times and...

Mt 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And he...

Romans was written in 58 AD and Paul, the author thought there were Jews and gentiles. Rom 3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are (present tense) all under sin; He actually thought he was a saved Jew in 58 AD...

I am a futurist and I have no problem understanding why the Law of Moses was given to the nation and people of Israel as a temporary operative principle of divine dealing and it was not given to gentiles. It was added to the Abrahamic Covenant after 430 years as an Addendum to it to condition...

:)

I have one verse for you that you or he are probably going to not believe and it has to do with words. The best one can do is just hope you do not argue against what it says. 1 Cor 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that...
