I'm only using it as an example of how we should mine biblical passages.

I experienced God through the fruit of the Holy Spirit (God). I believed because of this and have had a personal relationship with him ever since. This led to a study of the scriptures to learn as much as I can about him.

I think everyone serves the highest calling a creature can have. We all glorify God. Some glorify his mercy and grace, others glorify his wrath and goodness in judgement.

Both are valid but it is impossible to uncover the spiritual truth in the OT apart from the NT. It remains locked for the most part except for history purposes.
An example is: “When Israel was a child, then I loved him, A…

What good is it to make a claim and not give examples?

I'm on topic but obviously hitting a few nerves.

There are other examples but I'm using today's most prevailing error as an example of what CM is speaking of.

My posts are on topic. I'm using modern day examples showing how people "strip mine" the bible instead of "step mine" it.

Who might be best at interpreting the OT? Jesus or Darby?

I'm only pointing out that Jesus defines the kingdom for us. And how we can be led astray not reading him first. Perfectly in sync with my other approved posts in this thread.

People who believe in a physical "millennial" kingdom ignore everything Jesus said about the kingdom. If you consider him first, all of the false prophecies created by Dispensationalists evaporate back into thin air where they came fro…

If you ignore anything Jesus says, how safe a hermeneutic is that?

In the OT the temple is brick and mortar. In the NT it is Jesus and Believers.... In the OT the kingdom is physical, in the NT it is spiritual.. and so on. This is why prophecy buffs with wild imaginations add to Revelation when they r…

The safe way is to define terms from the New Testament. And then read the OT with this in mind. Jesus and the NT writers show that the OT writers often did not understand what they were saying. So If you define Israel, the kingdom of G…

This is fine, but lacks reason other than revenge.

I won't invest the time because Paul solves the riddle for us, saying believers are with the Lord upon death.

Paul's context remains unchanged even though the passage cited can stand on it own.

Paul clears up all of the confusion about what happens when believers die.
“For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:” (Philippians 1:23)
We can adjust othe…

Just sayin' if they are right, Peter foretold it 2000 years ago.

Early death = less sin = less suffering in hell = goodness of God in cutting life short for the reprobate.

Loud noise/big bang. As I said it seems interesting that science predicts the same situation Peter said would happen over 2000 years ago.

"Great noise" = "Big Bang"?

It of course is wrath, but less sin to answer for can also be attributed to God's goodness.

Even if science doesn't fit in. scripture tilts the end of the world scenario towards the literal. Both occurrences so far are among obviously literal contexts.

I can see you're view as a metaphor. But I think science looking for a "second big bang" could tilt it more towards literal. Also, Paul tilts it in favor of the literal.
“And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord …

Not as bad as it would be for a geezer who lived a life of debauchery.

I don't, but it has interesting parallels to what science predicts is looming in the universes future. If so it might help explain the original creation from a scientific point of view.

Not really talking about that. But about death to the wicked as an act of mercy keeping them from suffering more severe punishment in Hell.

Nobody dies before their time. So it is a none issue in view of this. But what I'm saying is that even the slaughter of the Canaanites was an act of God's mercy, just as Paul's delivering the incestuous Corinthian to Satan for the dest…
