You forgot 4 There's some remaining difference between the body of Christ Christians and the kingdom of Israel Christians that must be maintained on pain of being scorned, though no one can adequately explain why.

Just like they can't find who started the J6 riot, or the G Whitmer kidnap plot, or who killed JFK, or who colluded with Russia, or who created COVID 19. It's difficult to find out who did it when they won't look internally.

Because he was a troll.

Then you reject scripture? ...when he wasn't yet physically dead. Not in Abimelech's case. And if you don't need that explanation for Abimelech, then it isn't necessary in other cases. Your problem is explaining how God could call Abimelech dead when he was still alive, and it wasn't...

I started talking with my family about this "coincidence" a couple years ago.

It's not a matter of forgiveness. It's a matter of trust. You can forgive someone for a sin 7 x 70, but can you trust a group that never really came to you even once and said "I repent"?

So you agree that God called Abimelech "dead" even though he wasn't dead. And from your statement of it being a threat, you are affirming that it was describing a future potential condition for Abimelech, And not an actual condition, right? And that future potential condition was a physical...

He seems to be ever-watchful over some of His creation, but maybe not those who don't worship Him??

What isn't clear is if God was somehow so sure that the Judas who was alive when Christ was choosing His disciples was someone whom He knew about specifically centuries before. I don't see that as a necessary understanding of the text.

Why raise it from the dead if it's "just a vessel"? Can you show me a verse that suggests it's "just a vessel" to be discarded? The "old man" passage isn't good enough, because it only addresses the pre-resurrection body, not the post resurrection version of the same body.

I think if He has a way of not knowing something that is knowable, then it speaks to the mechanism of His knowing. For instance, if He decides not to know what Satan was doing, then how does He know if Satan is actually not doing the things God forbids him to do. Satan was at first allowed to...

The most reasonable version of the open view imo doesn't say His knowledge is limited to anything but those things which are at any time possible for Him to know.

Just like God said Abimelech was dead before he physically died...but it wasn't "spiritual death". Sometimes God talks about something that hasn't happened yet as if it has already happened. Romans 4:17 KJV — (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he...

A group of epigraphers claimed to have deciphered the Linear Elamite script, a system of writing used in the ancient kingdom of Elam (located in modern-day southern Iran) from 2300 to 1880 BC. François Desset, Kambiz Tabibzadeh, Matthieu Kervran, Gian Pietro Basello, and Gianni Marchesi recently...

And here's a case in point (remember that Rep. judges come from the same pool of lawyers that fill the legislatures in our country): https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/05/just-texas-rinos-vote-impeach-ag-ken-paxton/

Can anyone talking about eternal life and not mean something that is the antithesis of death? The whole passage is about life vs death (also called "perishing" or "condemnation") Or maybe the problem is that you don't agree with most Christians in this area. What do you think born again means...

Jesus explained that for me. John 5:28-29 KJV — Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of...
