I'd hate (don't hate, appreciate) (don't hate (don't hate, appreciate), appreciate) to say this, God doesn't think in the Temporal. He exists in eternity. Past, Present, and Future are the same to him.

If he was saying about not going to the left or right of the law and the observences, he could have also meant about the entire scripture. There were plenty of scriptures that were both about David that came true about Christ? Why can't God mean both?[/quote]
I'm perfectly aware that God is beyond time. However, one must look at the context of these passages. In context, these verses are speaking of first the Mosaic law (not all of the OT, which had yet to be written), and then to that specific vision of John (Revelation). I agree that many prophecies have more than one fulfillment (an immediate one and a future one, as with many passages about David & Christ), but the context is the key.

How do you come to the conclusion that just because there are sheep and goats that 50% of Christians must be going to hell? All we know from that passage is that there is more than one goat.

Yeah, blame it on Scripture. Don't you know that all Christians believe their faith is "completely Scriptural?"

i dont think the one in two thing should be taken literally, plus, who cares. im not so worried about other people as i am myself. also, there are multiple senses of scripture, read Dei Verbum, both the literal (not literalistic, and it must always be in the context) and the spiritual.
