NOTurTypical,
How come you quote Catholic Saints, the first Christians, all of them
Catholic and then ignore the fact you deny the faith? Makes no sense.
To show you he too admits that Pre-Millennialism was the dominant view of his day. (Chiliasm)
I understand that but don't think it is right.
New Covenant sacrifice is offered to the Father in an unbloody manner in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

LOL, no. He will redeem them to Christianity, trusting in Him as their Messiah and God.
Your dispensationalism makes no sense, since according to you, the Jews become Christians, why would they not just join the Church like everyone else? And why would they be doing animal sacrifices at a temple in Jerusalem?
What was the purpose of eliminating all the Christians?
What you are seeming to be saying is that after a certain point, only Jews are allowed to be Christians.
What is the point of all of this?
eal Christianity is that Jesus is sovereign Lord now.
Jesus sends his spirit to the world to draw men to him and to believe and to follow the spiritual law, and so saves the world as it says in John 3:16.
All you have to offer is a world ruled by Satan and hell coming to earth.
Jesus said the gates of Hell will not prevail against his church, but you say it will and will destroy it off the face of the earth.
They cannot join a church until their spiritual blindness is lifted.

Hardened, or calloused, is how Paul describes it in Romans.
Why do you insist on saying blindness when obviously you are referring to Romans 11, where that is not the term used?
Basically you are placing God in the role of Satan, causing the world to be evil and actually virtually wiped clean of any living humans, until there are only a few people left, who God then decides to take away this barrier from, which had prevented them from believing.
I don't think your cult's doctrine is right at all. Paul says what was preventing the acceptance of the Gospel was the work of "the god of this world".
I'm looking at a web site saying, "How the church hinders the Jews from salvation."
The idea being, (according to the anti-christians) the church has to be gotten rid of so the Jews can . . whatever.
This goes back to my earlier point that all this sort of talk is antichrist.
You can't ignore how John describes "the spirit of antichrist" and how he describes the person "the antichrist" and make up your own arbitrary definition of both terms. Well, obviously you can because you keep doing it, I meant logically you can't continue to do so. And Jesus also says their "blindness/hid from thine eyes" isn't forever, but temporary. He says "until".

If I meant in relation to the antichrist as described in 1 John, I would say so, otherwise it is any way I want to define it, and any way anyone wants to understand it. Generally, it is (in my usage) someone who takes away from Jesus or presents a false, substitute Jesus.

Dude, you call everyone who you think is against Christ "the antichrist' when "ante" in the Greek doesn't mean "against" or "opposite of" it means "In place of/imitation". You don't even have the right connotation that the Greek carries, not what "anti" means in English in 2012,
You have amazing eisegesis of the text jm.

NTT,
Why are you being allowed to go off topic and very rude, won't answer anyone's questions directed to you about the the thread subject?
Because....no one's complaining. That's why. ATS needs to correct
this biased rule. Where do I complain about this...it continues (humor).
The anti-Catholic bias of this forum. If you are anti-Catholic, you send a complaint to the moderators and zap, the post is gone.
But, if you're Protestant, keep on as NTT has, the "off topic" censor doesn't apply.
Moderators if you can't see it's a "fix", for posts people do not like. A complaint isn't enough, you have to apply the "off topic" rule to everyone. Otherwise, you have a closed forum. Someone should start a thread
on the subject.

Also, from the same site is a good explanation of the misunderstanding of Romans 11:22

This site answers any questions with biblical proof. He is also very good at answering e-mails if you have anything you want to ask him.

. . . and . . ?
My opinion is not going to be included in the next version of the Bible, if that is what you mean, otherwise I have no idea what you mean.
My opinion is what this forum is about. And everyone else's opinion who writes on this forum, otherwise what is the purpose of it?
If all you want is someone to give you an iron-clad "truth", just watch your YouTube videos from your self-appointed prophet and don't bother reading this forum because you are going to find a lot of opinions.
And if you want Bible, I am sure you have one you can read without even having to turn your computer on.

You have to look at the origin of OSAS. It was never taught by
Christ or the Apostles to follow. End of story. How are you saved
at one point in your life if you are suppose to "persevere" to the
end?
OSAS came from Calvin and when did he live?
John 6:47 ~ "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life."
John 5:24 ~ "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."
John 6:37 ~ "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out."
I think you are living in the wrong century and rather than attracting people to your cause, I would say you are adding to what repulses people from it. In this day and age your threats are not going to get any traction in anyone's mind and why your church so often had to resort to violence in order to get attendance rates up.
And how does personal opinion have anything to do with our Justification? It doesn't, PO amounts to heresy.
