The Christian is called to have faith (that is, confidence) in the recorded Word of God. But the Christian also is commanded to prove that the record to which he holds is authentic. Consequently and throughout history, the Lord always has provided irrefutable witnesses to establish the authenticity of the record of the things which he has spoken. Such witnesses do not exist for the book of Revelation, for the document is a forgery. It is the height of foolishness to accord canonical status to a document such as the book of Revelation which not only contradicts established Scripture, but also provides within its own pages multiple proofs of its corrupt nature and illegitimate origin. There is no virtue in veneration of a forgery. |

You may rest assured that John the Apostle wrote the NT book of Revelation. On what basis, or by what authority, do you make this pronouncement?Have you proved the authorship of the document, in obedience to the command of I Thessalonians 5:21? If so, pray tell us how you were able to establish the authorship, whereas so many learned and devout Christian men throughout the centuries have been unable to establish it with any degree of certainty. |

It is not a parable... It doesn't say it's a parabale like most parts of the Bible do, doesn't start like one, Jesus doesn't explain what it means, he didn't compare it with anything, parables don't use specific names, The parable of Lazarus and the rich man is LOADED with symbolism, so that the interpretation is painfully obvious to those who originally heard it (though you fail to understand it).Alan wrote:
and of course Jesus NEVER USED FALSE IDEAS TO EXPLAIN TRUE ONES NOT EVEN TO GIVE A WARNING. No so! Indeed, in the parable of the unrighteous steward, Jesus uses sarcasm, mockingly warning the leaders of the Jews that they need to make friends of the UNrighteous, that they may have a place to go when they are evicted from their stewardship (the implication being that the leaders of the Jews shall not find refuge among the righteous). The parable of the wicked tenants foretells this eviction. Even as the parable of the pounds is NOT a commendation of the sinful practice of usury, so also in this parable Jesus is NOT commending the practice of "cooking the books"! The unrighteous steward added to his unrighteousness by discounting the debts which others owed
his master. |

In this matter, the Westminster Confession departs from the Scripture and follows Talmudic myth. It is the animating spirit, imparted at birth, which, upon death, returns to the Creator, Ecclesiastes 12:7. Not until the resurrection is man reanimated.The assertion that the dead are conscious is contradicted by numerous passages of the Scripture, and gainsays the necessity of resurrection. In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, Jesus uses the false, Talmudic conception of the "afterlife" to warn the rulers of the Jews of their impending downfall. Jesus does much the the same with the parable of the wicked servant (Matthew 25, Luke 19), which many Christians erroneously take as an endorsement of the sinful practice of usury. |

Adam and Eve Our first parents, being seduced by the subtilty and temptation of Satan, sinned, in eating the forbidden fruit. This their sin God was pleased, according to His wise and holy counsel, to permit, having purposed to order it to His own glory.They being the root of all mankind, the guilt of this sin was imputed,(f) and the same death in sin and corrupted nature conveyed, to all their posterity descending from them by ordinary generation.(g) (f) Gen. 1:27, 28 & Gen. 2:16, 17 and Acts 17:26 with Rom. 5:12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and I Cor. 15:21, 22, 49.
(g) Ps. 51:5; Gen. 5:3; Job 14:4, Job 15:14. Rom 5:12] "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned" [15] "But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
[16] And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification." |

Romans 5:12 "Wherefore, as by one man SIN ENTERED into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned"Where then did sin go.?
Why it caught a Greyhound Bus and secretly jumped into all other people - and thats the arminian truth.
Romans 5:19 "For as by one man's disobedience MANY WERE MADE sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous." "Many" - Of course this does not include the "divine" arminian freewillikers - they like Dwayne are perfect. Watch out Dwayne; Jesus only came to save sinners, - Not you righteous. |
