Let's take the definition a second: Desire, decision. While 'decision' to fix sin, it isn't desire. Really the two will idea is an attempt to show the difference and be clear about what will means in any instance given: Decision/desire. Back to my question: If God just has will...

There was great persecution of Jewish Christian first, then great persecution of the Jews by Rome not long after. Some of this was immediately for the disciples: All but one Apostle martyred. For Israel, it may well fit when He returns. Thousand year reign. I'm not entirely sure thus do...

Forgive my unclarity: I was asking in regard to what Mid Acts Dispensationalists believe, trying to grasp their history line. Appreciate and of course know the 2nd Acts position, but thank you just the same and again forgive the lack on my part.

Realize double-pred Calvinists see it as you do, no decretive/prescriptive, just will. In a sense, the separation is used simply to understand 'difference': Wheat/Tares. Keep going with that thought for me: How sin if He doesn't desire it? I'd guess 'He didn't know' but that isn't quite...

Might have been me? I believe much of Matthew 24 has already occurred. I see Jesus' words as applying to 'this generation' but also would put Matthew 24:30, 35-51 as final judgement, thus unfolding of immediate and further into the future. I also see all of it applying most directly to...

...Thank you for your indulgence. We now return you to your local comedy channel (the muse hit me and they are funnier in succession).

You sir, are in trouble!

Yes, but there seems to be reservations today. I'm just asking. I don't believe they are way ahead because with all their learning, they on the whole have rejected their only Messiah.

I may be missing something or just catching something not on point for thread: Connection between miracles and prophecy in thread? (just trying to follow, I don't always engage, enjoying it rather). I agree. Is there an overall approach to Israel today for the Christian? Pray for them...

I shouldn't have laughed at that.

Incorrect. Nice try, but I gave you me, when I was you. No longer true. You don't care. I did. Simple as that. Yes, but then no. There is no rug. It is all out in the open. Your summarizations of glib are showing. Based on YOUR value system. I'm calling it into question...

I'm addressing this as it does a better job of carrying conversation. You know, I believe where I agree and disagree on our conversation, just. I think keeping will: will is fine because I see it as you do as well. Double-pred Calvinists would also say 'just and only will.' A...

Murder and killing are two separate affairs. Yeah. You are. Do you know the difference between killing and murder? 1) Created things belong to the Creator. I can do whatever I like with my Legos, no questions asked. 2) A loving Being is at the very least trying to do the right thing, to...

My question on point: Will/since Israel may return to the Lord, it doesn't mean there are any of them now, but how does it inform our politics? You said 100%. What is our duty to God on point? None of this loaded, I'm asking from one who hasn't really thought about this particular, as a...

Yep It is a difference between decretive and prescriptive. You have a fatalist view but relationship (we aren't isolated beings) causes interaction (prescriptive). You genuinely assume too much. Your egocentric lens and thus 'truth' is biased and forged about as hard as steel. It'll go...

I likely should have started this differently as it didn't get the traction I imagined. "If you were president, would you send aide to Israel as a nation?" At a basic level, I'm asking what Christians 'should' do. I was recently reading of Israel's actions against Iran, brought...

Not the right thread, but help: Did the Jews have to accept grace, or did they yet have to keep the law as Christians? Basically clarification and a bit of the unfolding story and ty.
