Quix, how can acknowledging the birth and death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the "wake-up call" to the creation possibly be a bad thing?
I can understand pagans denying this, but it's truly bewildering when some Christians agree with them.
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened." -- Romans 1:16-21"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Slippery logic and sentence construction doesn't become you.
WHERE did I say it was a bad thing?
I said it was NOT
THE
WAKE-UP CALL I was referring to in terms of the prophetic Scriptures about the END TIMES.
I can understand Replacementarians twisting Scripture all out of whack along with logic and their own twisted sentence constructions on reality. Please avoid twisting my words and pretending they are still mine.
