Those who have been around on TOL a while are some of the thickest-skinned people on the internet, as far as I can tell.

God doesn't know what He will bring about? Again, God, from the beginning, declares the end. He can do that. Indeed. And God knows what He can and cannot bring about, from the beginning. He doesn't need omniscience to do that. WRONG. At NO POINT in that entire passage does Jesus speak...

Saying it doesn't make it so. No, Israel has not existed since Genesis 12:1. Israel refers to both Jacob (the GRANDson of Abraham), and the nation that descended from Jacob, who was given the name Israel. The nation is the people who descended from Him. The patriarchs of Israel are Israel's 12...

So you're saying Lamentations, the Certificate of Divorce from God, was never given to Israel... So Lamentations isn't scripture? Because I'm not understanding how God didn't give them Lamentations while also giving them Lamentations.... ... Also, I find odd your turning to Leviticus to...

I was quoting Paul. For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” - Galatians 3:10

No. He DECLARES the end from the beginning. As in, He declares the end, from the beginning. “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that [e]it is...

She does according to your view of what knowledge is! The same kind of knowledge that God has about things yet future. The only difference is that He has access to FAR more information than any human ever could in order to make such predictions, extrapolations, etc. That's called "begging...

Your belief is nonsense! Did Jesus mean "this generation," speaking of the generation that was present when He said "this generation," when He said "this generation shall not pass away until..."? Because that's not "a future generation," which is what you are trying to say He meant. Which...

If you circumcise today because the Bible tells you to, then you are cursed to keep the law.

How many of those were Jews by heritage? How many were Gentiles? I'm not concerned about corruption. What I was observing was that one's upbringing would have a significant effect on how one reads the scriptures!

Saying it doesn't make it so! What a load of nonsense! It doesn't even deserve a detailed response! Jesus wasn't lying when He said THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS AWAY! He meant EXACTLY what He said! But when circumstances change, God can no longer do that which He said He would do! He...

Circumcision came before the law. LONG before it, in fact.

It has EVERYTHING to do with them hurrying! Jesus told them to hurry to spread the message to all the cities in Israel, told them they wouldn't even be able to make it through all of them before His return, even telling them that if the people they speak to reject the message, to just keep...

Keep reading: Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke21:32-33&version=NKJV Guess what? Hardly any of the things...

Then what ARE you suggesting? Jeremiah 18 doesn't make sense? God is in control. Be He is not meticulously controlling everything at all times. God allows men to behave as they will.

Are you actually trying to suggest that if they didn't hurry, it would take them 35 years to go through all the cities of Israel? Take a look at these images and tell us seriously that you are, taking into consideration that they were instructed to just keep moving if their message was...

You seem to be missing the thrust of my argument: People do not have the right to any service that someone else provides. That's theft. The only exception is if they offer that service for free. And even then, you still don't have a right to it. As you said, if someone doesn't want to pay...

High price because the government is involved. And because some people need teachers. And having a teacher helps to avoid one's own bias. And because of that, people have the right to charge for their time teaching.

No, just tripartite. Strength is something we have. We are not "strength."
