Yes...and no. As here: [2Ch 13:18 KJV] 18 Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers.

I'm not so sure that the "children of Israel" is the whole group, either, since it is referenced next the house of Judah. Jesus was pretty clear that the lost things in the prodigal son parable were ones that were feeding pigs in a far country they went to of their own accord, so the reference...

I think the "house" of Israel is different from the "children" of Israel in those passages. The children of Israel are actually grouped with Judah, probably because a remnant had left the 10 tribes in the days of Jereboam. The house of Israel (sometimes all 12 tribes, but often just the 10...

Yet you should care, since you are an ambassador of Christ. Then you are fooling yourself, and teaching others to fool themselves. I got that. Yet you do respond. Which means there's hope for you. Maybe treat brothers in Christ as if you love them as Christ does. I'm not just doing this for...

And since that was prophecied, it wasn't the mystery Paul spoke of, which makes the mystery something that was not promised: Ephesians 1:9-10 KJV — Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the...

Maybe you don't think so, but that's exactly the impression you give those you disagree with. "Long"? Do you understand what the word means? Which is soooo long-suffering! Why oh why would you think YOUR repetitiousness would be more effective against them than theirs is against you?? Which...

Not to belabor the point, nor to say that I disagree with what you wrote, but the predix "arch" means, in a sense, "better than". This from a Google search: As a prefix, arch- appears in a number of titles referring to positions of superiority, such as archduke and archbishop; it can also mean...

You have to click on it to see my text. https://theologyonline.com/threads/has-the-church-replaced-israel.54618/post-1899311 That may be true, but it shows you understood what I had written, and didn't need to ask "Where?" And he thinks he's treating you and @Clete, etc., how you all behave...

Didn't I just do that? Are you thinking he only reads those lines that are specifically addressed to him? Dont treat him like a dunce, just like none of us want to be treated like dunces, in spite of some amount of dunceness in all of us. I'm certainly not innocent of getting frustrated--with...

I'm not ready to go the "mental disorder" route, but I agree that @Gary K reverts to previously held positions even after one logically leads him away from them. On the other hand, just repeating the same exact point isn't usually effective, unless you bring more evidence/scripture/explanation...

The word translated "angel" is not Elohim. It's מַלְאָךְ Transliteration: mal'āk I'm uncomfortable with the idea that Jesus was once a regular angel (non-diety), but not that He was once the great Prince of the children of Israel. Michael is the only one called "archangel" in the canonical...

There's an interesting footnote in the Geneva Bible (translated earlier than, and in some sense inspiring the KJV) that explains that Michael is really Jesus Christ prior to His incarnation. If this is true, then when Stephen said he saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God, it could be seen...

*Sigh*

I've been wondering if the choice of who gets to participate in the 1st resurrection is somewhat similar to the testing Abraham experienced when told to sacrifice Isaac. In other words, the testing revealed A's heart by his actions. In like manner, God might know our hearts if we submit...

It's interesting to me that you so quickly give up on conversations by calling people "liar", "stupid", "moron", etc. Those aren't generalities. And they make you seem childish. I know you aren't, because ive seen some excellent, well-written posts by you. But you so quickly resort to...

Then you DO care. Maybe I was confused by your statement that said you don't care. Fools answering, or not answering, fools according to their folly. Carry on. Sounds like good advice. You should take it.

Ummm...the reason might be different than what you think.

Let's try another one. 2 Kings 20:12-18 KJV — At that time Berodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick. And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of his precious things, the...

That's fine...I'm trying to figure out what you're getting at. Sometimes people say they hold to something or reject something, but when they describe it, they are using the wrong label. So you are saying that both thieves got the same things, the same amount of Holy Spirit prompting, and they...

Here's where your view falls apart. It is Calvinism if the one thief that believed had some special extra something from God that allowed him to believe where the other thief did not have that. If you say that both thieves had the same things, the same promptings by the Holy Spirit, or...
