I agree. But neither refers to "Israel" as an entity.

Absolutely! Especially since Jews weren't supposed to be hanging out with Gentiles, according to the Jews of Peter's day. And if those at Jerusalem were so fervent to follow the law, they wouldn't hang out with Gentiles. Neither would they live like Gentiles, as Peter was doing. Right...that...

And that's why he was hanging out with Gentiles? That's a funny way to limit one's ministry to non-Gentiles. Right. The ones Peter was writing to. Maybe so, but for now you agree that they aren't separated, right? Is "a man" single or plural? And which came first, "a man" or "ye"? Thus, which...

And Gentile believers, who are strangers to their own peoples . Right...because in Christ there is no Jew or Gentile. Thus, everyone outside the church that is not a Jew is a Gentile. If you're saying the body of Christ isn't reborn in the same way as Israel, I agree. But "whosoever" doesn't...

Big tea bags

You missed one: [1Pe 1:3 KJV] Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, Here it is in the ESV: [1Pe 1:3 ESV] Blessed be the God and Father of our...

Hey, Bradley, can you quote who or what post your comment was directed at? I doubt anyone would disagree with what you said, but perhaps I didn't realize I said something against it.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/01/buttigieg-says-he-was-shocked-how-controversial-it/ Don't they know it is called "black top"?

Yes. Yes, because it is talking about this: Ephesians 2:5 KJV — Even when we were dead in sins [not alive], hath quickened us [made us alive, which is what being born is all about] together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved) Yes Romans 10:9-10 KJV — That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth...

Everybody faced with death needs to be born again with the life-giving Spirit.

Some of them used to post here.

I think this sums up this whole thread.

You seem conflicted. The concrete reality is apples. There are four of them (you know because you count them). But the concept of "4" existed before the apples, without being concrete. When the apples first dropped to the ground is NOT when "4" was created. You knew about "4" long before that...

"Years" requires a planet going around a sun, one of which didn't exist when you are supposing that "time" first began.

You shouldn't tell him that. He's trying to be careful of his brain cells.

Yes, this is probably tangent to the main point of the thread. @JudgeRightly I read this today: Micah 1:2-6 KJV — Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple. For, behold, ***the LORD cometh forth out...

"Root" is a traditional girl's name?

"Highest" good? Doesn't that mean there's a "lesser" good, or even a "not good at all" alternative? Are you unable to define love without appealing to alternatives? Hmmm.

Better to say, if there's a before, then creation of it (time) had to be earlier, but that puts its creation before creation of the heavens (space) and earth (us). Yet that means something was created on day zero (or earlier), and therefore not everything was created in 6 days, despite Moses'...

I've looked at this thread once or twice, but haven't gone through every post. I think the intent is to separate time from things that were created. Thus, the following doesn't apply to time: Colossians 1:16-17 KJV — For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth...
