And he is about to get four more years to do just that.

No answer, eh?

You appear to be like the Sadducees who did not perceive the Resurrection in the OT.
Thus do you contradict Christ Himself.
Who replies to you...

Matt 22:29 ... Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

1) Are you suggesting that sperm and egg are the same? Are the works of the law of Moses and the faith of the COG the same?
2) Are you saying that there was? Book, chapter and verse from the historical OT please.

1) Are you dealing with IVF treatment back in Sarah's days???

2) Try Psalm 49 and 16 for example. Tell me does your religion teach that OT people do not receive eternal life??? In effect were not saved???

I guess you don't believe what happened at Matthew 17:3???

John 5:39 Why would the Jews think = "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me"

Why would the rich man ask how to receive eternal life if it was not thought by the Jews to be an option.

Then there are the verses which deal with heaven and hell in the OT. If these are not possibilities to them why would they discuss them?

The term "everlasting" in the Hebrew means "time out of mind"

etc

So we must conclude that the woman's seed plays an equally important role in the offspring.

Are you suggesting that Sarah's "seed" is different to her husband's???

See also Gal 4:23.

In addition, Israel was promised real estate in the historical OT but in the NT the promise is eternal life

Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ

The Elect:
Ro 4:12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised. 13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

The satanic unBiblical Liberal abomination Church of Scotland makes the move to steal God's property from the congregation who is sticking to God's law.

Scotland no longer has a national church but instead has embraced the religion of Satan which proclaims ditch the Bible and keep the sin.

Fire and brimstone is on the horizon.

He is correct.

The Church of Scotland has been putting people off Christianity for years.

The Kirk has been UnBiblical and UnChristian for years.

The Church of Scotland is Liberal and therefore serves Satan. They are a false witness. They wouldn't know the Bible from the Bus timetable - just like the Church of England.

Biblical Christians do not attend the National churches of the UK.

Looks like people today are full of deceit and prepared to call God a liar. Come Lord Jesus, come soon.

Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools"

Government in charge of religion???

Prov 17:15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.

Prov 18:3 When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach

Must be Non-Christian Liberals.

Roll on the day when America can return to real government.

It may be that somebody gets blown up because of this action.

The cartoon of mohammed by the Dutch paper received an over-response, this is likely to have a similar effect.

Perhaps they should burn one of Richard Dawkins books instead, these are more of an attack upon Christian beliefs.

dont know why he start talking about the masoretic text

"The English translations generally available today are all based on the same Old Testament text—the Hebrew text that has existed without serious rival and with extraordinarily little variation for about two thousand years, called the Masoretic text.

Ancient versions (translations) of the Old Testament, including the Greek (called the Septuagint), differ from the Masoretic text in sometimes significant ways. Modern English versions differ in the extent to which they adopt readings from these and other non-Masoretic texts, but they all basically follow the Masoretic text.

i still dont understand even reading randalls paper, it shows that the old testament has been copied accurately ?

Say, whats a "politically aware Democrat?"

Obama clearly does not know how to read a situation like this. Perhaps he doesn't do public grief 'acting' like other professional politicians. Gordon Brown is similar in that his personality takes second place to political ambition.

Ignore Wharton. All he knows is the greek characters and their sounds. If you transliterate what he has written you will find that it is English in greek characters.

But as long as you armchair judges remember that you are perfect, the rest of us poor Christians will struggle on in the real world.
