Would you like to name a few?

How many doctrines are obvious enough to only need a single verse of support?

What you’ve pointed out here is not two evidences, but only a single piece of evidence, because your definition is derived from the fact Adam didn’t die in that 24 hour period. As I’ve pointed out in other posts, the non-24 hour definition of day is used earlier in the same chapter as God’s...

Are you saying foreknows because He ordains, or He ordains because He foreknows? If He foreknows because He ordains, then He is the author of sin.

There were two parts to my comment that you were responding to: You addressed the "distinct part of us" part, but not the "that survives our physical death" part. I'm glad you've been persistent with this question. I don't know if I have the full understanding of the impact of believing one...

Does that also mean you are old, but not old?

Perhaps so.

As promised, though somewhat later than I had hoped, here's my reply to @Clete's post in the other thread. Clete, I didn't bring my quotes that you were answering, so sometimes the gist gets lost without it. If you think I've gone off on a tangent from what you meant, please let me know. I...

I think you've proved what I was trying to say. Their belief is based on something, and therefore it isn't totally mindless. Perhaps you are saying that belief that tries to limit any actions of God in creation is from the instincts of man weighed down by the constraints of his sin nature, but...

But beyond the snark, "mindless" belief is always based on something. Consider the Tooth Fairy (to try to find an example that hasn't been overly emphasized in media--especially Hallmark Movies for Santa). Children are told this by their parents, and they believe their parents. This is NOT...

Funny how what you wrote isn't true.

Why do you think these are future prophecies regarding Egypt? The Jews in Ezekiel’s time (and Jeremiah’s) trusted in Egypt to save them from Nebuchadnezzar, but they didn’t/couldn’t. Egyptians were carried off captive to Babylonia, and allowed to go home about the same time as the Jews—40 years...

Thanks, GD. And welcome back. You’ve given good scripture to show that we are elect, which is agreement with @JudgeRightly and myself, but I couldn’t tell if you were answering my question to JR, which was to find out what he thought we were elect for, if not for salvation.

Begging the question. how do you know it was a spiritual death? It’s not in the context. My context, a couple chapters later, is closer than your context. You have nothing indicating Moses was just a bodiless soul. I agree I’m not too happy about my “rescue device”, as you call it. The best I...

It’s sad that you have to ignore what I post and try to post something that you think helps your argument more. I’m not saying it can’t be a 24 hour day, but it CAN be longer, as my examples show. Offering examples to show it can be just 24 hours doesn’t really help your argument. I’ve...

No, it doesn’t say you will eat of it in the day you eat of it. It says you will die in the day you eat if it. Two things have to happen in that day: eating and dying. Just like God made two greater things in the day He created the heavens and the earth. And just as there were two things that...

Sure I do. Genesis 5:5 (NKJV) So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died. Neither do you here 👇 Genesis 2:4 (NKJV) This [is] the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

And gut-wrenching for David to watch as his son did to him on the rooftop what David did in secret: [2Sa 16:22 KJV] So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.

David still died.

You brought up the souls under the altar in Rev 6:9 before. The picture is most likely prophetic in nature, but if you take it woodenly literally, as you called it, then why do those souls need to be restrained from enjoying the benefits of heaven by being held captive under the altar?? They are...
