The Narrow Path Ministries

It doesn't actually say the city and sanctuary will be destroyed during the 70th week. Verse 26 says, "After the sixty-two weeks". I understand it to mean, during or in the aftermath of the 70th week. I think 70AD is within a reasonable timeframe for that, especially considering Jesus' prophecy tha...

Othniel, I see you've dismissed the dispensational view (at least in part) because of the gap it proposes between weeks 69 and 70. Maybe I've missed it here on this Bible Forum, but even listening to one of Steve's audio clips (an older one, I think) I have yet to see any attempted refutation, let a...

Does anyone know an online source that lists extra-biblical examples of the Greek word proorizo (translated "predesinate" in the KJV)? I remember reading C. Gordon Olson's book, Getting the Gospel Right ," in which he states a written resource of some kind. But I'm wondering if there's anything onli...

I'm jumping in here having only read a few posts so excuse me if I'm saying something someone else repeated. I think I am fine with satan being created evil (one Cf. Isa 45:7). I don't know why we typically shy away from verses like that and try to explain them away because He doesn't fit in our cu...

First, Paul tells us that while one might perchance die for a good man, only God committed his love toward us as sinners, even committing Christ to die for us. So, no, it wasn't a big sacrifice. It was the BIGGEST sacrificie! Second, None of the persons of the Godhead follow a ‘Give to Get’ philosop...

I share your frustration. I never expected my mention of John 10 would take on a life of its own. In hindsight I wonder if we were all duped a little, since regardless of whether that example was even correct, there surely are some insights into Scripture that have come to light only relatively rece...

Backwoodsman writes: But is that really the only thing in that paragraph that you found notable? Notable? Again, because your criticism was undetailed assertion, there was nothing to which I could respond pertaining to the Luke 16:18 "middle voice" discussion. As for your hyperbole, when you marry, ...

For the record… [/i][/u] Here are all 17 the English translations of Luke 16:18 I could put my hands on tonight. Note that not one of them supports Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5 that the innocent party can remarry, based on the exception clause. How many ‘life-long Greek scholars’ are represented in...

Based on our last exchange about the Trinity, I felt you were unwilling to concede sound arguments But that's just the thing -- some of your arguments aren't nearly as sound as you think they are. In fact, some of them have some pretty big holes in them. I went back to find the point in that thread...

Then how would he explain the difference in form betwen the middle future and the passive future? Does he think these are just two different forms of the middle future? But in that case, why would the voice be called "middle"? This implies that it is between active and passive. This reminds me of a...
