To be clear and brief:
"Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few." (Ecclesiastes 5:2 NIV)
Ec:5:1:
Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God,
and
be more ready to hear,
than to give the sacrifice of fools:
for they consider not that they do evil.
Ec:5:2:
Be not rash with thy mouth,
and
let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God:
for God is in heaven,
and thou upon earth:
therefore
let thy words be few.
Isa:55:8:
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,
saith the LORD.
Isa:55:9:
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways,
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
If you want to trade single verses but reject the passage the reference verse comes from I can certainly do that but it is a game for x-mas day after dinner rather than it being a learning tool.
If you look at the whole most your words are more than the Bible making your words many and Scripture few. By the amount I've just posted I've created quite a buffer for myself.
I'm sure that by the time my words outweigh the passages the message will be quite clear, universal salvation, for man and for beast of burden is the summation that the bible expands on.
Since I can't change the text of the Scripture just posted we get to use mine as far as reference material goes or you can explain why your version is the one that should be considered to be the correct one. I would certainly find it easy to spend pages and pages defending the text I use. I'll also point out I use some text as a reference for an opinion rather than having an opinion and then looking for the version that best fits that. I'm quite sure if one Rabbi has given the 1611KJV text the okay as being as perfect as it gets in the world of translations then it is no longer a point up for debate..
When that text is compared to the newest version of something like the Jerusalem Bible and the topic is Da:9 and the 70 weeks and what it means you will find a vast difference in just what the message is. In the KJV it is a cog in a wheel as far as being completely understood using those words alone.
The newest and easiest version (agenda is only possible in one version) it is clear who the 'he' is while in the KJV the beginning of the passage has covenants associated with the God of Ge:1 rather the serpent of Ge:3:15. That is a current topic that should be hot still.
More Scripture and fewer opinions is the message, to have one on the bible you have to consider the bible, how about Ge:1-3 and Re:20-22 as being a 'summation' and then the discussion about what the Kingdom of God is all about
Really? (short for bull****) Ready to take the acid test? I'm obviously going to stack the deck in my favor.
Isa:65 is an expansion of a group that is only introduced within the last few passages contained in the Book of Revelation so an accurate reading of that one passage would be impossible. The ones called 'the rest' is not given in the passage they first appear in (their beginning) but their end is given a time that spans 1,000 years and a 'little season' after their beginning. Isa:65 begins with a dsescription of their 'attitude towards God while having the same level of control that was available before the flood. ( a lengthy topics that covers all of Jude, do your summation on that one page if you would be so kind)
The term 'sword' is the connection between the two references and 'the rest' are unique because that is the only place where entering the grave has a person remain awake. Your favorite OT book says the grave is a void, Isa:65 is anything but a void as the whole chapter is about that one group from their beginning until their ultimate fate of being alive forever in the new earth while making their home outside new Jerusalem.
There are a few verses about the differences between two groups, those that are alive and those who are in hell. The beggar Lazarus and the Rich Man is the prophecy. The manifestation into reality begins with the trumps sounding about 3 1/2 years before the sword comes for 'the rest'. Servants are immortal and sinless people and are the whole House of Israel as defined in Eze:37:1-14 and the Church as defined in the 7 letters. The 12 Tribes are experiencing a resurrection except for the 144,000 and they are witnesses, just like the survivers of the 7 vials are witnesses to the Church members that need a resurrection to be part of the living during the 1,000 years. That combined group is trained in being a Saint as the fire that sends Satan to the lake would also have taken them and their destiny without that time with Christ. God is with the ones in Hell, how else would He know what they were saying while Satan is in chains.
Christ is said to have the keys before the letters are given to the Church and they would have to be out before the trumps start to sound so hell is open at that time. Eze:39 says Israel will see the grave before they see salvation and the same place Jonah went will be open for them should Jesus decide that is where they need to be for them to experience the transformation that is promised in the last part of Matthew:23. It is the same process that gentiles face before they meet God, the one that can kill you with death and then torment you. The 12 Tribe members could be there for no more than 3 1/2 years as their ultimate destiny is to be alive as soon as that option becomes available. Satan's followers will then be sent to that same place. Being the little bitch I am and seeing them on their way to paradise I can certainly say, 'Thanks for lighting the fires.' knowing full well that if they so much as twinged that they would be coming down with me. As it stands that day of judgment for me is someplace in the future and I have no reason to question what Christ has in mind of the ones that fuk with His Church.
Re:18:6:

Dex is not claiming to be a Christian and some of your comments are insulting.
He is claiming to be an expert though. His version seem to be a post explaining his version and then it is a closed subject.
Any discussion is an insult.
You can imagine how bad it would be if vanity was also an issue with the 'expert'. I'm quite sure the 'experts' are the actual Scribes who wrote what we both read today, we both qualify as being 'gentle readers' as such we are both entitled to an opinion.
The term 'grace' has a limited number of references and after reading them you should have an 'opinion', is that opinion going to be more accurate than that of somebody who has looked up the passages the verses come from. Considering the term 'God forbid' I'm going to go with reading the passages gives you the best bet at understanding the 'message'.
One verse from Luke says Jesus told them about all things in the OT that applied to Him. That goes back to a prophecy by Moses.
Way back when I did my first post on a Christian subject here it was made pretty clear by Dex that listening was not an option, here you were here to learn only so saying belief in a literal God brought out the retard label. Then mentioning the 6M number had been reduced and memorial plagues had the updated number, talk about **** hitting the fan, permanently. Sorry was that supposed to scare me away, coming from the bush to the other side of the 'overpass' just had be realizing there were pricks on this side too, u-turns are options in my world and that isn't my destiny. Blanket condemnation from then until today and the tactics are the very same, very troll like if you use the urban dictionary. Small town, just where do you hide when hounded? This is about as small town as you can get.
Your acknowledgement of KJV-onlyism explains a lot.
Such as what?
Did you just lose your train of thought there or is mind reading part of the requirement of 'your readers'?
Please elaborate cause it sounds kind of insultish.
The KJV is 'the standard' when exploring prophecy just because everybody is using a standard text so the discussion is about the same words rather than about which words should even be there. If you want to 'chat' about that part we could start with the term 'all flesh seeing salvation' compared to 'all people seeing salvation' as there are 3 other forms of flesh on this planet, only one version is correct.
