If you are eligable to vote in the United States, who do you plan to vote for in the election?

(Craig19;52409) I agree with you in that Tod has gone astray a bit. But if you look closely he makes some sense in what he is saying I think he has just not come into full understanding of what he is teaching and thus he might be coming over worse than he actually is.I think his main point is...

good points

Exactly! Although I believe that the city is a symbolic picture representing the people of God. It is called the "wife of the lamb." It is a picture, as a city and habitation of God, of God's redeemed people now in unhindered and unbreakable fellowship and communion with God on the earth in...

(lizz7711;51529) Eliyahu,thanks for all of your responses. I've been off the internet for awhile, and I really need some time to put my thoughts together on this topic. Let me just say that what I'm talking about is not replacement theology, or saying God does not still love the Jews or see...

This man is a self-deceived, self appointed "prophet," in my personal judgment. Hint: prophets in the Bible gave an oracular word of exortation to God's people. They called them back to God- as He is as opposed to their imaginations of him. They called people to love, obediance and holiness...

Believing Jews are part of the church equally with any Gentile, absolutely. They remain Jews and others remain Gentiles, who are part of the community called the church, yes.

Yes, I am totally kidding. :angel10:I hope you figured that. Although it would be awesome to have my name involved with elaborately creative conspiracies. I am not concerned too much about what the pope says. I believe in the UFO phenomenon as a demonic deception and distraction. Most of it is...

He banned pre-tribbers? Ha! Ha!! :angel10:OK lets set aside the pre-trib silliness and I will get into the heavier things in your first posts herre. I am not sure when I can. But I would like to definitely dig in with you. I post mostly on Friday through Sunday when I have lots of time at a...

Might I sugest a different perspective?The Great Commision of Mat 28 was to the twelve apostles. Paul had a similar commision later. "Apostle" simply means "sent one" or "emissary."The great commission seems to be a call to apostles who spiritually build churches. They must go somewhere and do...

I said that everyone knows what rapture means, not that everyone agrees. Everyone does not agree on the meaning of Bible or trinity either. I see your point. I wish we all could just unanimously stop using that word for your above reasons. When I say the word "rapture" to someone who doesn't...

Many people have feelings and impressions about what the scriptures teach. But the facts are facts: While the New Testament often describes Israel and the Church in similar terms- both are pictured as the children of God, the chosen people, etc.- on no definite occasion does the New Testament...

It is one thing to argue that once or twice Paul uses the word “Israel” and “Jew” in a special sense, referring to the whole Church as the “Israel of God” and all believers as “Jews.” (Although I personally disagree with this, I certainly wouldn’t call this position dangerous.) But it is another...

Romans 2:28-29? Didn’t Paul say there that Gentiles who believed were true Jews? Look carefully at these verses as translated in the New International Version (I have added the italics):“A man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a man is...

No, I am not. I am something like you described yourself. You should read the book though. you will learn something. You don't have to agree with everything he says or his conclusions. I sure didn't. But the book gives a perfect comparison of Mat 24's "gathering" with 1 Thes 4's "catching away."...
