Ironically, I just finished a 1.5 year study of end times things and my introductory thoughts for the first couple of classes was to caution the folk not to be caustic towards differing eschatological views, especially if those Christians held orthodox and fundamental Christian views of God and...

Alayboy and I share a birthday (August 27th) so we spent this weekend with him. He has attended the (UC) campus church on and off but doesn’t really like the vibe there (evangelical but quite “contemporary” in numerous ways he doesn’t prefer). So this morning we went to a nearby (reformed)...

Well, after rereading his quote in the context of the conversation, you may be right. He may have very well meant that she, ostensibly and nominally a Christian, needed to renew her mind regarding the alphabet soup group. I’ll wait to see if that’s what he meant.

Knowing voicecrying well, this interpretation of his intent makes absolutely no sense. Have you been up all night without sleep again Ekk?

The only person’s salvation that you can definitively know, is your own. I presume you are saved because you say so, but sometimes I wonder.😉

Elaborate please.

You’d be surprised…

Focus man. I don’t make claims about Dolly’’s eternal soul, nor the Crusader’s or Franklin’s converts. That quibble was with the responsible presentation of the gospel. I rejoice wherever the gospel is preached.

<sniff sniff> Teejay???

She mentioned Jesus a lot. 😁 She was influenced at a young age by Arminian/Pentecostal theology, as such, I’m sure that her life of good works was a reinforcement of whatever she believed about God, heaven, Jesus, and the afterlife. I wouldn’t bet one way or the other on her salvation, but I...

How does that mean that the real bulls and goats themselves were allegorical?

1) Fellow Calvary Chapel dude…would they (generally speaking) advocate for the allegorical method of interpretation? 2) You’re an evil mod! 😁

Those “pictures”, were they actual blood sacrifices or metaphorical ? Did those actual sacrifices point to another real sacrifice?

Bruh, I feel ya. I think the teaching of Jesus on “who is saved and who ain’t” can be helpful… “Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat...

I don’t follow your rationale. The basis of your faith is the revelation of God in His word. Jesus used the Jonah story to illustrate the truth of His own real death and resurrection. How would pointing to an allegory strengthen His claim of how He would die?

<cue the dramatic music, lol> @abcaines, you might want to take this one. 😁

Don’t hold your breath. My musical preference is to be able to hear the lyrics over the distortion of instruments.😉

Interesting. Do you believe Jesus literally rose bodily from the grave?
