So what do you think the following means? Take a look at Genesis 22:17-18 God said to Abraham, "indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore . . . and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed." (1) stars (2) grains of sand on the seashore (3) all nations of the earth shall be blessed through Abraham's descendants. (In Romans the Apostle Paul teaches that the Christian Church is the spiritual children of Abraham.) Compare Galatians 3:6-9 "So also, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”Understand, then, that those who have faith are the sons of Abraham. The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith." Missmuffet, do you think Genesis 22:17-18 with Galatians 3:6-9 teaches that only a few people will be saved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. Very mature. Your comment is incorrect spin and nothing more. The person I invited to leave obviously had no intention of actually reading my posts in this thread. He said he had read only the first paragraph. He then launched an attack on my thread (which he had not read), an attack that was incorrect nonsense. This thread has absolutely nothing to do with the subject of his post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The re-post is now unquotable. Several honest attempts were made in the endeavor, but it just wasn't possible. I'm sorry. Allow me to take the time and put your questions down so they can be answered. Whether they meet your expectancies are another issue. Thanks again.

And of course it goes without saying that no is going to be forced to become a Christian. Edited September 2, 2019 by JAG** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allow me to take the time and put your questions down so they can be answered. Whether they meet your expectancies are another issue. Thanks again. You are welcome. I did the best I could for you. The software would not allow me to enlarge all of it. I am looking forward to reading your answers to my questions. The basic question of this thread is the question that asks: Is Christendom going to end up being a little flock? Yes or no? The absolute compelling answer is NO, not a little flock, but just the opposite of little flock, its going to end up being a HUGE-ENORMOUS flock of saved people. There are several Bible verses quoted in this thread that make A HUGE-ENORMOUS flock an absolute certainty. Here is one of them: "By faith Sarah, even though she was barren and beyond the opportune age, was enabled to conceive a child, because she considered Him faithful who had promised. And so from one man (Abraham), and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore." Hebrews 11:11-12 Edited September 2, 2019 by JAG** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
