Adam clearly means
Adam = "the red earth" Adam, the first man, the parent of the whole human family
And Acts 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Malachi 2:10
Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us?
I know a whole group of Lutheran missionaries who were mercifully liberated and went the other direction.
And God multiplied their effectiveness accordingly.
Yet again, a Replacementarian’s ASSUMPTIONS
bite the dust as
WRONG.
PRAISE GOD FOR JimRob’s wisdom on this matter.
All of you know what to look for. If they make another run at the forum it'll probably be on one of these types of threads, so please keep the red flags in mind and if something doesn't smell right let me know by Freepmail.
Absolutely. From time to time we run into that “serpent seed” theology and we roundly condemn it and seek to teach otherwise. thanks
There’s not a high degree of motivation
when Replacementarians
mangle all out of whack the most basic, clear, straightforward prophetic Scriptures in the book.
or ignor them
or deny them.
or rationalize them in a slippery fashion.
Well you could always prove to us you read the bible, but I really don’t care either, as I already know the answer

Ping! will do.
Do I hear you correctly, that Full Preterism is a doorway to the Dark Side ?
Then feel free to post the verse. I haven’t tracked it down yet.
I have lots of verses virtually memorized but without refs.
I’m sure no one else does that. /s
It is clothing in which wolves sometimes hide.
I want to see you back up a statement you made, that’s all, the rest of us do it consistently
Note in the below article these themes:
The CHURCH began in Eden.
The SACRAMENTS were present in Eden.
The GRACE, for which the covenant thereof between the Father and the Son before time, was seen by man for the first time.
The GOSPEL of that grace was first preached to man.
You need to read again the account of Genesis and drop your preconceived notions of artifical dispensations and dispensations that, while they might exist, having nothing to do with the theology of Dispensationalism and don’t help your case anyway.
The Synagogue of Christ by Steve Schlissel
Messianic Jewish pastor
Messiah’s Congregation, Brooklyn, New York.
The church wasn’t born at Pentecost. It was Bar Mitzvah’d. No small matter, this. The church had a long, albeit dotted, history by the time the Spirit in Christ’s fullness fell, and a glorious, albeit difficult, future. By Pentecost, the church, because of its history, its providentially-ordained organization and the Holy Spirit’s promised guidance, was well-prepared to fulfill its function in the world.
The Belgic Confession, in Article XXVII, states, “We believe and profess one catholic or universal Church...This Church has been from the beginning of the world, and will be to the end thereof...” It has not, however, always had the same form. In the Garden of Eden God identified and separated the church (then consisting of two) using the essential elements, Word and Sacrament, Promise and Token, which would be present throughout the church’s history, in some form or another. Our first parents were created to understand themselves and all things else in terms of a word. They had received the defining Word of God; they had heard the anti-word of the serpent. Choosing the devil’s definitions, they had broken covenant with their Creator and entered into league with the destroyer, becoming co-pretenders with him to the throne.
God was not about to forsake His purposes, or to quickly formulate a “Plan B.” He graciously and forcefully took back Adam and Eve-He redeemed them-by placing hostility between them and their new master (the Antithesis), by promising in their hearing the incarnation of the conquering, suffering Messiah (the Protevangelium, first proclamation of the Gospel), and by clothing them with God-provided coverings (the “Sacrament”), indicating in the clearest terms that their fig leaves (their instinctive effort at self-atonement/covering) were wholly inadequate and unacceptable. It is God who saves. Calvinism did not originate in Geneva; it is found in Eden. God’s people, the covenant line, would henceforth be the people redeemed by Him to live, once again, in terms of His Word.

21-22”This is going to be trouble on a scale beyond what the world has ever seen, or will see again. If these days of trouble were left to run their course, nobody would make it. But on account of God’s chosen people, the trouble will be cut short.

AS with so many basic END TIMES prophetic Scriptures, this single verse blows the Replacementarian AD70 perspective totally out of the water.
Do I hear you correctly, that Full Preterism is a doorway to the Dark Side ?
A red flag. An indicator, part of a complex of beliefs. I don't know enough about Christian Identity to guess why hyper peterism would be part of their belief system.
To: 1000 silverlings; Uncle Chip You mean like the prophecy that Christ predicted regarding the fall of Jerusalem in Matthew? 21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. (Matthew 24:21) Now, where else in scripture does Christ ever use 'hyperbolic' language as you claim this to be? 300 posted on 11/07/2007 1:09:24 PM PST by fortheDeclaration (We must beat the Democrats or the country will be ruined! - Lincoln) [ Post Reply | Private
If this were Geometry, you would have proved the given
No, that’s the original scripture FTD posted. We’ve acknowledged that and the question I asked came after. Try again
= = =
AS I noted above . . .
But, please, show me the post where you acknowledged anything of the truth of Scripture in this department!
PLEASE!
So,
y’all have admitted somewhere that Mat 24:21
blows your AD70 fantasies out of the water?
I sure missed it.
BTW,
I’ve forgotten in all the convoluted egg salad mangled postulations . . .
Do y’all beliee there will even BE A GREAT TRIBULATION?
Why do I have it in my head that you think that also happened in AD70?
If not then, when? Even a sequence would be interesting.
