1 Timothy 1: 1Ti 1:3 As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, 1Ti 1:4 nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God...

You've just done, by virtue of priori, what you asses in Credo. The first passage Credo gave, does indeed claim that knowing the future is the definition of "God." . It says exactly what it says; Only a priori of denial would second-guess. Entertain that you are forcing. It is a...

This is why 'prescriptive' and 'decretive' are proffered. It doesn't have to mean, at all, that God doesn't know as an alternative. That is a conclusion based on 'reasoned' but all kinds of potentially wrong suppositions. While I can appreciate the Open View, it isn't the only kid on the...

αποστασια (apostacy)abandoning the faith.

CHATGPT translation: 2Thessalonians 2:3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of {lawlessness}c is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he...

All of them? "The AICNT further aims to indicate the extent to which the manuscripts have been altered throughout the centuries. This is accomplished first by using, as the base text, what scholars have identified as most likely the earliest reading of the text translated. Secondly, over 2,000...

Ouch!

There are a couple of ways for it to make sense besides determinism. He is, after all, unwilling that any should perish. For me, God acting in our history to bring as many as possible is deterministic, but not determinism by necessity. For me: He is determined to save all He can...

Wow! Check this out Clete!

I can read Greek, but am not able to recognize all Greek intimations: επιστευσαμε (E-sword has a free download that helps quite a bit with my Greek called "Greek NT Int-erlinear" The Greek word επιστευσαμε is Aorist (completed) Active Indicative (great free online lessons with quizzes) First...

"In Remembrance" also important. There are all kinds of keys and indicators missed. When Paul mentions communion, it is a potlatch in several instances. Communion started as 'the Last Supper.' Matthew 26:26 " blood of the covenant" (He hadn't shed yet but it is the last supper they...

🤔 All three were involved in His resurrection.

No. It. Isn't. Okay, you bought the line. It is not shared by any means. No, of course I cannot prove something to someone who doesn't care about facts. I gave them. Done deal. Not in the church building where they are supposed to be safe! My fellowship has FBI checks. You said...

I cannot argue with a man who loves his organization "no matter what." It is a done deal, I can't touch it or you. For you? You might call it longsuffering or such and I'll not question your forgiving love, but absolutely not for me. Paul and Barnabas went two separate ways. Paul...

One statistic has a higher mortality rate among those who took the inoculation over those who did not! O.o

Because it is true? It is true. I know you love your church and will make up whatever you can, not because it is true, but because you have a stigma that fits with your Catholic expectation. When you have 'all ways lead to heaven,' ministers who are easily celibate because they don't...

2 Timothy 2:24 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient I've seen leaps and bounds in you on this, Clete. Keep it up brother! While you are doing well, there are a good number of laughing 'likes' on his posts. While icons are rudimentary, a...

I don't think purposefully, lying, stupid, or evil. It is more that we have bibles where everything is mixed, trying to make sense of 'all of it' as the Word of God. Patience, love, and explanation go a long way. TOL is not known for coddling but I think it the best tack: 2 Timothy...

I think this exactly right and succinct. We confuse the two because for a Jew, it was a sign 'he/she was a Jew' in God's favor. I'd think a Grace Bible would be a thoughtful help: O.T. "To Jews" NT "To Jews" NT "To Gentiles" Then in side notes: "To Jews with gentile principles...
