I’M ONLY A YEAR AND 4 MONTHS late with this comment, but just had to tell you MY search terms that led me to this site – “polygamy is biblical” – after being told by my “pastor” that he was once a polygamist. I love my pastor, and his now ONE wife, so I wanted to study it out for myself, and came upon this wonderful site, which will be a source of study and treasure for a long time to come, I think. THANKS!!

Comment on Two Kingdoms of Heaven by Glenn

Jay,
You’ve got this right. The sheep find themselves in the lower Kingdom, the Kingdom of Heaven. The followers of Christ, those who have offered their lives as a living sacrifice to God are the inhabitants of the Kingdom of God, the Higher Kingdom. I’m working up a post on this soon. Take a look at the rich man’s query about getting tp heaven. If he wants to be perfect, getting into the kingdom of God he needs to sell what he has and give to the poor.

Thanks, Hazim. I’m not a big fan of prosperity theology either, but I don’t think it’s entirely wrong. I’ve only listened to a handful of Meyer’s sermons, so it’s possible she teaches things with which I’d have a serious problem.

I couldn’t disagree more, I’m surprised by your evaluation. Prosperity theology at its most brash, that’s what I hear when she speaks.

I don’t believe that everyone will be saved, but I do believe that the standard Church criteria for salvation are incorrect. I strongly believe that many people that Church leaders call “saved” will not be and that many people they call “lost” will be saved.

sorry Jay don’t agree. and well aware of your multitude of arguments that every one will be saved. “for narrow is the gate and straight is the road that leads to life. and wide is the gate and broad is the road that that leads to destruction and that is the way most choose”. “shall not the judge of all the earth do right?”

Weapons: ragged nails, elbows, knees, head, teeth, spit.

Thanks for the “Time Machine” reference.

Check my take, if you will.

I don’t see where Paul contradicts what I have said. He didn’t say, “For not all Israelites will be allowed to join the church.” In fact, just a little bit later in that same letter he says that the gentile converts are joining Israel, not the other way around.

And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you. Romans 11:17-18

There has never been a church outside of national Israel and there never will be.
Not according to St. Paul:

For not all Israelites truly belong to Israel… [Rom 9:6b]
