And Moses...notice "Christ" and "reward"?Mysteryman said:Abraham looked forward to the cross...a "friend of God", justified by faith.glorydaz said:First I'll address Rev. 12...Satan didn't literally spew water and kill people. This is undoubtedly speaking of Herod's attempts to kill the Christ child. It's a normal thing in scripture, that the raging tumults of the nations should be compared to waters.
Mysteryman said:No one in the OT ever accepted or rejected Jesus Christ. They are going to the second death because they made that wicked one their father. The father of lies, and author of death.
Now, I'll address this little tidbit of misinformation. Read it and weep.
Doesn't sound like the second death to me. ;)
The promises to Abraham were through Christ.
Galatians 3:16 said: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.
[quote="Matthew 8:11":232wf86l]And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
[quote="John 8:56-58":232wf86l] Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Oops, looks like David did, indeed, know Chirst.Hebrews 11:24-26 said:By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
David foresaw the Lord...always before his face.Romans 4:6-8 said:Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
[/quote:232wf86l]Acts 2:25 said:For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
LOL
David by revelation knew of the Lord that was to be the messiah. Israel believed this, until the day that he came and then they didn't beleive.
Those under the law , on the way to the promise land, God took their names out of the book of life, and these were children of Israel.
Then there were nations which were not of Israel, and who were not a part of the law. Neither did they know him . Nor did they believe in him. Yet, they are saved, unless they have sinned a sin unto death !
Your theory is > [/quote:232wf86l]
Yes, I'm the one with the loose screw. :biglaugh
You deny the scripture I've given and prefer to live by your own set of rules.
Not much I can do with someone like that.
I'm not sure how many Christians think Abraham, Isaac and Jacob...much less Moses, Elijah etc. have been taken from the book of life, but I'd hazard a guess they are few and far between. Look hard you just may see them among the 24 elders in Revelation.
I think maybe it's time to shake the dust after this last little theory of yours...I see no hope if you actually believe what you're claiming.
