The geography of the present earth is the result of the flood, in my humble opinion. Maybe God really likes the way it all ripped apart and came back together with these current watersheds, and He'll copy it going forward.

You might need to think this through a little more. Is new earth going to have the Euphrates River? Is it going to have the River of Egypt? (The borders of Abraham's inheritance.) You can't have it both ways. So much for "new." Will these rivers be draining into holes in the ground? Remember...

It's probably my fault. (I am tired and still don't understand what this means.) I can revisit your point in the morning.

Narrator: But RightDivider wasn't willing. No sun, huh? This sounds like new earth. How is this relevant?

Would you mind elaborating on this?

2,000 years of predestination to hell? Sounds like Calvinism. "And if you are willing to receive it, he [John the Baptist] is Elijah who is to come." Likewise... And if you are willing to receive it, Solomon's reign fulfilled the territorial promise to Abraham.

Ok, thanks!

You're smart, what implication is there that Elijah sort of returned prior to the Messiah? I know you already know the answer. God's promises and prophecies can be fulfilled in a nearly/sort-of kind of way. (This is open theism 101.) I am in an open theism forum, right? If you're not an open...

Is it still happening nearly 2,000 years later?

Got to call you out here. You know what I mean.

Cool. So then you agree that blindness in part Israel has happened (past tense, i.e., no longer in effect). Sorry to daze you, Mr. Mechanical, but I guess you now realize that not ALL Israel will be saved, despite that being the mechanical understanding. Your not an open theist are you? Yikes!

Like I said, I love learning from you AND you are a genius!

Yes! 💯 Solomon says, "Ahem." I'm with you. YES! Why not also, but more permanently (as a corporate nation)? :D Yes, but a major event happened after Paul wrote this, and God changes His mind. Is prophetic certainty warranted in this instance? That's the question. I think I know how to...

Haha! You're too humble. At least I know for sure that your logic is far superior to mine. What I am trying to say (albeit poorly), is that as open theists, it seems inconsistent to be certain (in our minds) of God's future plans for nations. We can be certain in our salvation, because Paul...

Why do you interpret this mechanistically? Be an open theist. Edit 3:57 pm (Eastern): If you want to be mechanical, then the blindess no longer exists! A decent percentage of Talmudic Jews are still converting to Christianity today. The NKJ version (Enyart's preferred translation) says, "...a...

I was answering a silly question according to its silliness (Proverbs? ;)) l don't want to ignore scripture, so let's see what you got... Why didn't you bold and underline if and some? Continue on to Romans 11:23... And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for...

"Yeah, having the Son of the Living God as my descendant is nice and all, but I want muh dirt." God's covenant with Abraham was fulfilled in a way with David and Solomon's reign. Also, Elijah kinda came before the Messiah, as promised.

Let's say you have a 17-year old son named Abe. His birthday is coming up and you promised him a remote control airplane. He is eagerly looking forward to the day. But when the day comes, instead of a remote control plane, you gift him a Gulfstream G700 complete with 24/7 on-call pilot service...

"Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." John 8:56 NKJ Based on this verse, can we say Abraham is already satisfied?

And Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you. For now the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. But now your kingdom shall not continue..." JudgeRightly, you may be correct, but...
