    Fulfillment of Prophecy in the New Testament

    Yes. That is what I think as well. He seems to be doing the same thing with the OT that modern Doomsday religions are doing with the OT. For instance the JW's interpret OT scriptures as applying to them to support their credibility: True Worship Expands Worldwide — Watchtower ONLINE LIBRARY...

    If prophecy or seeing the future were true... think about it...

    Since a man's days are already determined, and the number of his months is wholly in Your control, and he cannot pass the bounds of his allotted time --Job 14:5 Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man whom You choose and cause to come near, that he may dwell in Your courts...

    I'm sick of this forum.

    I don't care what you posted when, or who agrees with what, nonsense is still nonsense. Free will implies the ability to do something other than that which God knows one will do--otherwise the choice is not truly free. If you choose to stay in a locked room, that's not what one would commonly...

    All knowing God

    Correct. Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love. For He foreordained us...

    Is God Omniscient as people say?

    Dude, have you ever heard of paragraphs? Ok, let's get started here... Well, I wouldn't want to debate the merits of Princess Diana's Vibrating Minerals Theory of Existence, since she's not here to defend herself, but words are only a "vibration" when they are in a medium that propogates...

    Is God Omniscient as people say?

    Do you then agree then with the scholars who say right after their creation some angels staight out rejected god? Or they were convinced by Lucifer to leave their domain? Or both?

    Omniscience is impossible.

    Just not THIS Bible, I guess... The beast that you saw [once] was, but [now] is no more, and he is going to come up out of the Abyss (the bottomless pit) and proceed to go to perdition. And the inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been recorded in the Book of Life from the foundation...

    Can a religion be said to be 'true' if only 1 out of a million can do it?

    Wheww! That's the best answer I've ever heard! I'm gonna be chewing on that. I suppose this kind of answer is the one Jesus told his disciples in private? (not sure where, but you seem to be able to tell us what [was said]?- perhaps something along the lines of Ephesians/Corinthians?) "So...

    Can a religion be said to be 'true' if only 1 out of a million can do it?

    You're thinking of Jeremiah 1:5. "Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." I wouldn't even say that is the strongest...

    Is God Omniscient as people say?

    I wanted to ask you (and all of you), why do you quote scrupture as a native language? Scripture does not speak for itself.

    Is God Omniscient as people say?

    DING DING DING DING DING!!! We have a winner! You'll notice I said: "Letting" people do these things? My dear, predestination does not mean God LETS anyone do anything--predestination means that God designed everything that everyone does. He doesn't LET them, He MAKES them. I know this...

    the right religion

    :yes: There's also Psalm 139:16:"All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." and Job 14:5:"Man's days are determined; you have decreed the number of his months and have set limits he cannot exceed." and Jeremiah 1:5:"Before I formed you in the...

    Do you understand the New Testament

    Hello yrgo yrgo (#1088): Although believing that Proverbs 21.1 was written with one particular king in mind and either by that selfsame king or one of his subjects, yrgo finds that the language of Proverbs 21.1 "fits" Jesus perfectly (a) and may be applied as well to "people belonging to God"...

    Greetings, AK4 (on or before Jan 4)! 　 yrgo (#1088): Although believing that Proverbs 21.1 was written with one particular king in mind and either by that selfsame king or one of his subjects, yrgo finds that the language of Proverbs 21.1 "fits" Jesus perfectly (a) and may be...

    Do you understand the New Testament

    yrgo: 　 I agree. And not just any royal whatever as in Proverbs 20.2 ("A king's"), 20.8 and 20.28 ("a king"), and 20.26 ("A wise king"). If the author of "three thousand proverbs" (a) wrote Proverbs 21.1, then "THE" king that Solomon had in mind while penning that particular statement...

    Do you understand the New Testament

    Greetings, AK4! 　 Proverbs 21.1, modified NIV: "THE king's heart is in the hand of the LORD; he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases." 　 AK4 (#1084): . . . In that verse it is talking about an "individual" . . . 　 yrgo: 　 I agree. And not...

    Do you understand the New Testament

    yrgo (borrowing heavily from AK4's own words in Post 1081): 　 Now, AK4, you have to come to terms with scriptures like "THE KING'S HEART." Do you believe that the expression "The king's" means "The king's" or does Scripture say "The king's" but actually mean "ALL MANKIND'S"? In other...

    Do you understand the New Testament

    Greetings, AK4! 　 Your Post #1077 has just been found and printed out, but a quick look at Proverbs 21.1 and 16.1 has already convinced me that those scriptures need not receive the same careful consideration presently being given to other points you have made and to other scriptures you...
