I'm certainly open to new lawyer jokes. :-)

There's no such thing as a believing person who didn't start out being an unbelieving person. He also said "woe unto you hypocrites" (vs. 44). Have you ever met a human being who's not been a hypocrite? He also said "woe unto you, Pharisees" (vs. 42). The apostle Paul had been a Pharisee (Acts...

In the meantime each individual Israelite has an opportunity to receive this mercy - eternal salvation - during his lifetime. That individual doesn't have to try to stay alive hundreds/thousands of years, waiting for Israel to be gathered back into its land.

Where does the Bible say that Jesus hates lawyers? For God so loved all lawyers, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whatsoever lawyer believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Free will is what each individual has. The hardening mentioned in this passage pertains to a people-group, not individuals in that group. Read the rest of the story: For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

Without complete justice, righteous wrath can't be satisfied. Sin must be paid for, not swept under the rug and ignored. God's plan was to pronounce unjust people as "just" without lying in the process and consequently becoming Himself unjust. Romans 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his...

I think it does. Acts 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain ... Only a believer will benefit from the chastisement: John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that...

Yes. Here are some verses that bear out the substitutionary work of Christ on the cross that you might consider: KJV 1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the...

Ask not what your spouse can do for you, but what you can do for your spouse. I don't know if you're the husband or the wife, but these admonitions address each. Each addressee is told what to give to, not what to get from his/her spouse: Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own...

Yes. ... or if your spouse's unrepentant fornication do you part. ... or if the unbelieving spouse's departing do you part. Matthew 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry...

Those who are good at counting and those who aren't.

Men and Whoa, men. If a horse can understand, so can the libtards.

If he was saved before he committed these murders, then he was saved while committing them and after committing them. He will always be saved; his past, present, and future sins are all forgiven. If he's not saved (in which case he never was saved), he can still be saved as long as the Holy...

It doesn't say who ordained them. I think they ordained themselves by embracing the revelation that God gives to everyone. In 1 Cor. 16:15 the same Greek word (tasso) is translated "addicted": ye know the house of Stephanas ... that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints ...

There's no such thing as a believer who decides to take the mark.

No, I don't mean that.

I think you're describing a fictitious character. A saved (by faith alone) person is unable to take the mark because he is unable to pluck himself out of his Father's hand.

I've wondered that too. A couple of theories: 1. Maybe false ideas of reincarnation had reached the disciples' ears and they hadn't thought them all through? 2. Maybe there were false teachings floating around regarding the struggle that had happened in Rebekah's womb; that Esau had had some...
