Is time an attribute of God? Please provide biblical support for your answer.

@LawyerRichNC @Unshakablewapr Lastly, suggesting that benefiting from something creates an obligation to withhold criticism is moralized silencing tactic, not an argument.

@Unshakablewapr Sad. Standing on the shoulders of people who paved the way for you and bragging about how tall you are. Hard pass.

The Civil Rights Movement sold justice without a definition. That wasn’t accidental. This roundtable conversation is going to make a LOT of people uncomfortable. Premiering tonight at 7:30 on You Tube. zurl.co/LbhQX 🎥👇 #CivilRights #TruthOverFeelings

@LawyerRichNC @Unshakablewapr Secondly, a platform’s existence does not prove the ultimate success, moral soundness, or adequacy of the “efforts”that produced it.

@LawyerRichNC @Unshakablewapr So now they are above critique? That is such an irrational stance. Whether the critique is valid has nothing to do with how the platform came to exist. A claim’s truth is independent of its historical or social origins.

@PappasChandler @JoelWebbon @HwsEleutheroi Romans 11 actually does not make your case either. Notice how you conveniently ignored the immediate context of Deut. 7. Pick any passage you want but none of them make your initial case. Baal in Romans 11 is still referring to the history of the nation of Israel in 1 Kings.

@RickLCaldwell @JoelWebbon @HwsEleutheroi Spoken like someone who's not read Romans 11

Well, I said that by the end of 2025, the positions would be clearly delineated. For folks who remember what happened in 2024, the "what was the holocaust Mommy?" meme, and all that? Well, here you go. Holocaustianity? Wow, just...wow. At the speed Joel is going, who knows where he will be a year from now? The degradation is happening at light speed. And I can't help but chuckle: there is no 90 foot tall Muslim statue outside of Houston. That's a Hindu statue (Lord Hanuman). If you can't tell the difference, you really are clueless. Young men have not been bludgeoned by the Holocaust. They have been bludgeoned by secularism in all its Christ-denying, creation-degrading forms. These guys have completely lost the plot, lost their balance, and it is sad to watch them plummet to their own destruction. I would like to see the Lord Hanuman statue ground to dust. Here's the difference. If the Muslims took over, they would grind it to dust with explosives and violence (as has happened in places like India and Pakistan in years past). If these CN guys took over, they would do the same thing because they have the same motivations. The only way to truly have that statue ground to dust *to the glory of Christ* is if it is taken down and destroyed by the people who built it in the first place, and they do so because they have come to know Jesus as Lord and are repenting of their idolatry (Acts 19:16-20). THAT is how Christianity works: the gospel subdues hearts, and families, and communities, and nations. Not politics. Not click bait. Not anti-Jewish rage or the ignorance that confuses a Hindu god with something Islamic. I held out hope for Joel for a long time, I really did. And no, I wasn't being foolish: I was being hopeful.

@PappasChandler @JoelWebbon @HwsEleutheroi Sir. That verse in context is a mandate given to the people of Israel, not Gentile nations, to dispossess the habitants in Canaan (v. 1).

@JoelWebbon @HwsEleutheroi This. You would think James has never read Deuteronomy 7 (specifically verse 5)

@OldWays007 @AFpost But the church is NOT Israel! Bad assumptions will inevitably lead to bad conclusions. And the church does not possess the sword 🗡️ by God’s design. All of this bloviating about moral suppression is only attractive to those whose thinking is not grounded in Scripture.

@AFpost This is just a logically coherent biblical view. If the Church is Israel, then the Church is also a land and a people, in obedience to the civil statutes of the Biblical Law, under the rule of the King.

Pastor Joel Webbon said that Christian nationalists should be allowed to impose their values on others "because we're right.” Webbon added that “Christians don't have to tolerate degeneracy, and degenerates absolutely must tolerate righteousness or they need to go to jail, or leave the country."

@MericanMomgrel @RuralMissionary @Protestia They are tons of scandals throughout history in Orthodox Church as well. Authority rests with the One has spoken clearly in his Word. Let's return to Scripture.

@RuralMissionary @Protestia I agree about the RCC. The problem is that the reformers replaced the pope with a million little popes, all of them so confident the Spirit is leading their private interpretation of scripture. The answer is the Orthodox Church.

@MericanMomgrel @RuralMissionary @Protestia This is just poor reasoning. The fact that we even know that this OP presents something that antithetical to God’s will is demonstrates God’s revelation is clear. We don't need a magesterium to adjudicate the matter. And the answer is NOT retrievalism. ECFs are not infallible.

The Abrahamic and Davidic covenants are everlasting and unfulfilled in their totality. The church shares in spiritual blessings but does not absorb Israel’s national identity.

The land promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob refer to real geography, not merely spiritual blessing. One cannot reinterpret OT covenants solely through later revelation; they stand on their own terms.

Biblical Zionism is root in God’s faithfulness. OT land promises to Israel are eternal (e.g., Gen 15). Israel’s national future is guaranteed by God’s covenant faithfulness The church does not fulfill Israel. Jesus’s return includes Israel’s restoration and Millennial rule.

@ElifNull @Eric_Conn Most modern Dispensationalists would assert that the phrase refers to a subset of Jews who rejected the Messiah and persecuted the church. Their spiritual posture, not their ethnicity, earned the label. Has ties to Romans 9:6. No the literal interpretation abides.

@Eric_Conn I feel like St. John already addressed this somewhere in bible. You’d think that dispensationalists for having read revelation so much would stop and think what “synagogue of Satan” means… I guess the literal interpretation hermeneutic stops there…

“This means the religion of modern Jews is part anti-Christ opposition religion, part Satanism, and zero-parts Old Testament Judaism.”

@Jgrey2003 @a_muqadashaql_i @gracetoyou Hello brother. I typically don't engage with ungracious individuals on X, and this thread demonstrate why. I was resigned to posting information for other people who may benefit from the information. Nonetheless, he has already blocked me.

@RickLCaldwell, I am surprised you are engaging this man. He clearly does not have the Spirit of God to enable him to hear and see the true word of God. I read through your responses and I agree with you. This man’s erroneous presuppositions has blinded him from seeing the truth regarding the timing and way in which Jesus reigns. Jesus is sovereign over all things… and there will come a day in which his reign will be done with an iron rod, which is the millennium and satan will be bound. But for now God has ordained Satan to be the “prince of the power of the air” and deceive and accuse all he can.

Our hearts are heavy, yet rejoicing, as we share the news that our beloved pastor and teacher John MacArthur has entered into the presence of the Savior. This evening, his faith became sight. He faithfully endured until his race was run. 2 Timothy 4:1-8

@a_muqadashaql_i @gracetoyou You gave the answer and ignored the implication. Jesus Himself, not Scofield or MacArthur handled the text in Luke 4:16–21. This is often referred to as the “Messianic gap” or prophetic telescoping. This entire time you been saying all these things are occurring. Evidence pls!

It’s an error to speak of “phases”, that’s adding to the text. The prophets didn’t use that language, and more importantly, the apostles didn’t interpret them that way either. Yes, Zechariah 9:9 was fulfilled in Christ’s triumphal entry (Matthew 21:5). And verse 10 speaks of His dominion extending to the ends of the earth. But nothing in the text demands these are separated by thousands of years. The reign of peace begins with the King’s first coming and unfolds through His gospel rule. Verse 10 is not “future” as in delayed, it’s the result of verse 9. Same with Isaiah 61. Jesus read verses 1–2a in Luke 4:17–21, stopping at “the year of Yahweh’s favor.” That doesn’t mean the rest is postponed, it means His mission begins with grace, and continues into judgment. The whole chapter is about the Messiah’s work, from redemption to restoration, not a chopped-up dispensational timeline. The apostles never split these texts into “phases.” They saw Christ as fulfilling the promises and advancing His kingdom now. When you divide these passages unnaturally, you’re not interpreting them like Peter or Paul, you’re interpreting them like Scofield and MacArthur. Again, repent. Submit to the text, not your system.

@a_muqadashaql_i @gracetoyou Isaiah 55 is addressed to Israel, inviting her to return to the Lord (vv.1–7), with the assurance that God’s word will accomplish what He sent it to do (v. 11). Verses 12–13 describe the results of that restoration, specifically joy, peace, and renewal of creation.

@a_muqadashaql_i @gracetoyou In regards to Isaiah 55:12, poetic language does not cancel the literal referent. Instead, it expresses the exuberance of creation when the Messiah restores all things.
