The Epistomological Impact of an Omnitemporal Eternity on Theological Paradigms.

It is obvious that you are more interested in impregnating Scripture with your own beliefs in order to support those philosophies that you have aligned yourself with, rather than simply let Scripture speak for Itself. And there is obviously nothing I can do to open your eyes to your false logic, because you clearly have so passionately invested yourself, both personally and spiritually, into these beliefs. So be it.

Just know this. I have only tried to point out what I thought was a misstep in your logic. I have never attacked you, nor really your beliefs. However, you seem to think that those who merely disagree with your interpretation of Scripture are heretics and somehow satanic. Please think about that response.

I'll leave you with the words of Thomas A Kempis, from his book Imitation of Christ

"If I knew everything in the world and did not have love, what good would it do me before God, who will judge me by what I have done? Calm that excessive thirst for knowledge, for there is great discord and deception in it. People who have great learning are often eager to appear wise, and they often wish others to recognize them as wise people. There are many things that you can know about, though, that are of little or no use to the soul, and a person is exceedingly foolish who reaches for anything that does not lead toward salvation. Endless reading and talk do not satisfy the soul, but a good life puts the mind at rest, and a clean conscience brings great confidence in God. The more you know and the better you know it, the greater is your responsibility for using your knowledge wisely."

I do not desire to fight, nor do I deserve to be called satanic. So, I will leave.

Cut the pious sanctimony, pony. The fact of the matter is, you never answered the question:

FALSE

Because, in your heart, you knew that you would have to answer "Yes, the factual particulars of Matthew 11:20-28 were False" in order to hold your Humanistic philosophies together.

You honestly believe that, in Matthew 11:20-27, Jesus made statements which were, in their factual particulars, FALSE. You have made Jesus out to be a speaker of Falsehoods -- and this is entirely due to your desire to uphold a humanistic, synergist philsophy of human (arminian) fabrication.

Think about that.

Actually it is obvious that you believe that Jesus was simply making up stories in His upbraid, like my 4 year old does when he is telling me a famous Texas tall tale. As you have attributed this feature to all the OT prophets/oracles, I must wonder if you believe that Jonah was just telling stories when he said: "Yet, forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown."

But, really, do you believe that any prophet speaking for God, much less the Prophet, would speak a single word of error in the name of God while actually prophesying?

As Micaiah said (1 Ki 22:28), "If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me" so we should also say about any prophet who prophesies anything with error, "The LORD has not spoken by him."

And if the Lord Himself is not true in every word, then where is my confidence that He will fulfill His promise to return for me? It is gone for I hope in a liar who is the servant of Satan.

Nevertheless, I do agree, let the Scriptures speak:

... if the mighty works, which have been done in thee [Capernaum], had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

Does Jesus speak for God or does He speak for Satan?
