Well you do advocate a day is a thousand years, so yea you have. Are you now denying this?keras said:StanJ, did I say I knew the Day or the hour?
I indubitably believe the Bible, NOT your interpolation of it.keras said:I have quoted what the Bible actually says. Don't you believe it?
Why should it be? If their was a so-called formula to know what God plans to do, then Jesus wouldn't have told us that no man can know, and that ONLY God knows. Did Jesus lie?keras said:Is the fact of the exact period of 4000 years from Adam to Jesus, that nearly 2000 years have passed since Jesus and there is to come a 1000 year period of Jesus reign on earth, of no significance to you?
There is a difference between Jesus saying no one would know the Day He would come again and knowing God's plans for His people.StanJ said:Why should it be?

Prove: v. to establish the truth or genuineness of, as by evidence or argument.keras said:Amos 3:7, Isaiah 44:7-8, 2 Peter 1:19 and many others prove we can know what God has planned for the last days.
Not if you understood the context and meaning of what Jesus said, but of course your a writer, so you know it all.keras said:There is a difference between Jesus saying no one would know the Day He would come again and knowing God's plans for His people.
Amos 3:7, Isaiah 44:7-8, 2 Peter 1:19 and many others prove we can know what God has planned for the last days. Only the exact timing , we can't know, but Jesus did give us many signs that would indicate the nearness of His Return. Take heed or remain in the dark.
Please cease asking foolish questions, like did Jesus lie? And check your spelling too!
Their for there.StanJ said:Not if you understood the context and meaning of what Jesus said, but of course your a writer, so you know it all.
If you think it is foolish then you have a problem or are just avoiding answering the question. What spelling are you referring to?

[SIZE=medium]Therefore: 2599.5 + 3386.5 = [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]5986 years is the present age of mankind. [/SIZE][SIZE=medium][June 2015] [/SIZE]
So the Millennium has not started, must be 14/15 years away.
