G165 AION

That's on you, then. But I've tried again to make it easier to understand below. Sure, it's similar, at least. It's not. Sure it does. "Times age-long" means something, since words and phrases mean things, as you correctly say. Perhaps putting the adjective before the noun it describes...

See post #3 where I explained it. No one can, because it's irrational. You cannot have "before" time, because "before" is a time word, and only has meaning in the context of time. In other words, time is a prerequisite of creation, ergo, time cannot have been created,

It doesn't. What it says is that God created light, then DIVIDED the light from the darkness, and He called the darkness Night and the light Day. And evening and morning (the rotation of the earth with light on one side, and darkness on the other), was the first day. What you and the person...

Yes, it does appear again, literally in the next book, Titus: Paul, a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect and the acknowledgment of the truth which accords with godliness,in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time...

More like three witnesses... Father, Son, Holy Spirit. God is a triune Witness - His standard of "two or three witnesses" comes from his triune Nature.

Actually, it's not. It's translated that way because of the bias of the translators towards Augustine and his commitment to Greek Philosophy. "PRO" does indeed mean "before". However, "CHRONOS" is not singular "time" but plural "times," and "AIONIOS" is a plural adjective "age-long." A...

Was rather surprised that Joe appeared on RSR!

Imagine the devastation little Jimmy's parents will feel when they come to pick him up from school one day only to find that he had been transported to a facility and been murdered by people who claim to have "assisted" in his "suicide," because his girlfriend broke up with him for some other...

Are you able to respond to the OP?

No, they won't. There's already been plenty of people who have come on here claiming the Bible is figurative. They've all made (or at least tried to make) their arguments without getting booted for violating rule 2.

Someone can believe the Bible is true but not literal. They aren't calling it a fable or a fairy tale, aka fake. This thread is within the rules.

Whoever wrote that must seriously hate pets... And/or has never had a pet that is a picky eater. I buy nothing but the best food for my cat. She's always asking for more, haha.

This quote stumbles upon something the Bible teaches, which is that the one who should punish a criminal after being convicted is the victim of his crime (Deuteronomy 17:7), and the Bible even makes special consideration for a relative of the victim of a capital crime ("avenger of blood") taking...

Well I guarantee you that most Calvinist preachers aren't doing Sunday school lessons or preaching sermons on passages like this, assuming they even know the passages exist! Forget the congregation's awareness of them... I think for most people, their brains just shut down when they sit in...

Begging the question. "Them whom Christ died for" refers to the entire world, not whatever you calvinists claim it means.

They way you said it, it was. No, it wasn't. The Twelve Apostles were part of a nation of priests who used to be of the tribe of Levi, not bishops. No, it did not. The Twelve Apostles will sit on twelve thrones ruling over the the twelve tribes of Israel in the coming Kingdom of Israel...

Let's hope that the people reinstated actually want to go back to work....

But not about Romans 9:11-13, apparently. Why can't you be wrong about that? Why does the passage have to be referring SPECIFICALLY to the two persons, Jacob and Esau, and not the two nations, like how Genesis 25:23 specifically says? Why can't "Jacob" and "Esau" be synecdoches for their...

Then the burden is on you to show where the older Esau served the younger Jacob. More evidence that you have no idea what the Bible actually says happened. Yes, past tense.
