Revelation IMO spans nearly 2 millennia (3 actually). It starts with Christ receiving, unsealing and setting in motion God's plan for the ages, which then proceeds to unfold until the end. The expression "must soon take place" can also be interpreted as "must happen swiftly", which can either be...

I'm sure Paul was telling Timothy to no longer drink only water, but to drink a little wine in order to calm his nervousness and put his mind at ease. Sounds like alcohol to me Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities. 1 Timothy 5:23...

How is an act of compassion different when done by the unregenerate or when done by a saint? God is glorified whenever his spirit is obeyed. Do you believe the unregenerate cannot obey the holy spirit?

Christ's righteousness is imputed to us via covenant, as our sins were imputed to him. There is no such covenant with Adam so non sequitur

Oh dear, I'm catching a whiff of calvignosticism. Do you believe an unregenerate person can do good works, and by that I mean works that God is well pleased with?

Simply believing doesn't save a person. It is written that with the heart one believes into righteousness, and with the mouth acknowledgement is made into salvation For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:10

I take issue with the the expression God the father, God the son, God the spirit. Apart from God the father these terms are not found in scripture. Rather we see the son of God and the spirit of God. IMO there should be a comma between God and the father, ie, God, the father, because the term...

IMO It really doesn't matter what's in the cup. Jesus said as often as you drink this cup, not as often as you drink this wine. The ancients used wine because they didn't have refrigeration. It's all symbolic anyway, a way to remember and express our faith in the covenant. The bread and cup were...

Funny, my heart has never been convicted for not observing the sabbath. Also, I have never felt blessed or righteous when observing the sabbath

You're glossing over the fact that God said he would make those of other nations his people and call them by another name. Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God. Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which...

No it's not. The increase wouldn't have happened without God's nourishment, so God gave the plants the ability to produce fruit

So what happens if we ignore the sabbath?

The spirit provides the nourishment, but the "plant" produces the fruit.

Grace through faith enables us to overcome sin

Does a plant produce fruit of itself? Indeed it does when the garden is kept free of weeds And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; Matthew 13:3 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: But other fell into good...

We are saved by abiding in Christ. Can you live a life of sin and abide in Christ?

Because Jesus was speaking to those who were still under the law. His death and resurrection changed all of that

God says meh... But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God. Romans 2:10-11

It doesn't matter what they thought or were waiting for. God's purposes are not constrained by their unbelief. It's like you're trying to justify their unbelief.

lol Jesus wasn't inviting anyone to do anything. He was declaring, Repent and believe in me or perish
