What I was trying to convey was I am a believer in Predestination. I can't argue Scripture w/ you Bill. I would not stand a chance
. If there is no predestination doesn't that open the door for "free will" ? I understand your stance on Israel and all will be saved. I just do not accept it. I am not trying to "start something". I HOPE you are correct in that interpretation! Is my salvation at stake for my views ? I have been told so and of course I do not accept that either. You are a gifted teacher and have a unique understanding of Scripture. I wish and pray I could grasp the Bible as well as you. I understand the remnant and elect are the same. I wish you would write a commentary on Romans. I have done the "course" you have online. Have not some of brothers sinned so unrepentantly there is no salvation for them? What if John Wayne Gacy was an Israelite? The Green River killer etc.? What does the "soul that sinneth shall die" apply to? I still look forward to meeting you someday. Your friend and brother. Yah Bless! PWM

Boy that sounds a bit harsh and narrow minded. I'm not defending ole' school CI because I fall into that group. Still when I see their error I am quick to adjust. I'm not an "internet CI" I have been at this a very long time and truly it's gut wrenching to me that we can't agree to disagree and remain respectful to one another. I've read a lot of commentary over the years beginning w/ Rand. And from a purely CI perspective who are today's modern day commentators? I'm not gonna be a disciple of any man but the net is not the only show in town! If that's where your spiritual needs are met you're just standing on top of the iceberg. I think Bill does himself a huge disservice by not publishing a lot of his work at a fair price to help him help us even more so. So what have you read lately? I'm interested in what you are the other scholars are reading. Where do I have to go to pull it up on the screen? Truly we are a stiff necked people. And to what scholars do you refer? May Yah keep and Bless You Sir. PWM I'll let you know how "The Serpent..." reads.

I came across an AN site, out of Missouri and all there posts and rantings were about and against Bill. For the most part it was pretty comical. Aryan Nations and the klan are a shadow of the things they were. I am an "old school" CI believer. That means a lot of the things I originally learned are not really valid today. Like all things our religion has evolved and grown and has been reinterpreted. I could be foolish and ignorant and say "that's not what I was taught". Instead I feel really fortunate that new pastors have taken the reins from Pastors Butler, Comparet,Swift and Miles. Some of the doctrine I have picked up on since being introduced to christogenea is new to me. Instead of finding fault w/them I am instead given the challenge of accepting or denying. The by product of this is it forces me to "search the scripture" w/ a new zeal. I am particularly studying the doctrine that says all Israel will be saved. So far I am unwilling or unable to find fault w/ this doctrine! Being 59 and involved in CI for 35+ years I am pretty proud of myself still be able to approach things I don't yet understand with humility and a willingness to accept the truth when I used to accept a lot of un-truths. It seems all of our pastors today are not in total agreement w/ each other and that is okay. No one man is privy to all the mysteries or they wouldn't be men. They would be Yahweh. There is a life time of study available at christogenea and I intend on taking advantage of ALL of it. That doesn't mean I won't disagree on some points. I just don't have the time to waste "dissing" another Christian man like Bill Finck and try to pick him apart point by point. Keep up the good work Bill and Yah Bless!
