    Jesus in the Old Testament

    I have a shadow of Jesus in the OT--if that's what this post is about, I kinda lost track. Judges chapter 6. The fleece was placed on the floor and in the morning, only the fleece was wet, the next day only the ground was wet and not the fleece. The fleece is Jesus, the dew is the Holy Spirit...

    Understanding The Flow of Our Lord's Book of Revelation

    Well, I have read all the post here and I can honestly say I don't know. There are some great arguments for both sides, however, I do believe the pre-trib rapture and there are three main reasons I tend to stick to that. 1) Jesus told us that not even the gates of hell will prevail against...

    Does god truly approve of repentance?

    Do you people even know what repent means? It means to change your mind--change your way of thinking. Change it from what, to what?

    Moral Argument

    Yes, God has written HIs laws on our heart and on our minds. Pretty much everyone alive today knows it's wrong to kill, still, lie, ect. even though they can become desensinsitized to breaking one of the laws,deep down they still know it's wrong. Before the Holy Spirit came into the picture...

    Does God Change His Mind?

    Of Course He changes His mind. Didn't Moses get God to repent (change his mind) about killing all the Jews and starting over with him (Moses). Didn't God change His mind about when Jesus' time would come as far as Mary getting Jesus to turn water into wine? God will never, however, go back...

    Parable of The Tares of The Field

    Yeah, but wasn't the barely harvest before the wheat? Maybe the wheat and the tares go thru the tribulation together? Not sure.

    Pre-destination and the elect

    That's good MTP. Very Good indeed. Psalm 91:14-16 pretty much outlines the greatness of our new and better covenant. In the old Covenant God said thou shall not, thou shall not, thou shall not, but in the new and better covenant, God said I will, I will , I will. and I will remember their...

    Adam......son of God.....Lk.3:38

    yeah, He created Adam from the dust, which He also created--on the sixth day He created man in His own image. Male and female He created them. God is so Awesome!

    Seven Years of Tribulation,

    remember the ten vergins? five of them had oil in their vessels and their lamps, five of them had no oil. and when the anousment was made that the groome is coming, the five without the oil wanted the five with the oil to give them some. Oil represents the Holy Spirit. You can't give someone...

    Understanding The Flow of Our Lord's Book of Revelation

    I think I have a way to easily settle this: Bible says something about most believers will be taken in a time when they expect it the least. All we have to do is find out what most people, who claim to be Christian, believe and know that they are wrong.

    Understanding The Flow of Our Lord's Book of Revelation

    I'm just a by-stander in this conversation, but 'He shall gather the elect from the four winds, from one end of Heaven to the other' sounds to me like the elect are in heaven at the time of the last trump--if in fact that is the last trump (jury still out). just trying to keep the pleasant...

    Parable of The Tares of The Field

    I would think the good seed is the Gospel and the tares represent the doctrines of Demons. The kindom is inside you and it is planted like a seed and it grows (inside you). Jesus preached the kingdom of Heaven is at hand, so is He the one planting the seed? I also think that false doctrine...

    Via or direct ?

    Praying in Jesus' name is what we are told to do. When we are a Christian, we are in His name and everthing we pray is in His name--if we believe. I do, however, think many Christian take the Lord's name in vain. By this I mean we take His name but we don't do what He commands us to do. Just...

    The Purpose of a Prayer Request

    remember one time when Daniel prayed and while he was still praying the angel showed up to give him the answer to his prayer? If you read thru that prayer it must have taken about 3 minutes to get it all out. Now, waiting three minutes would be easy even for the most impatient Christians. But...

    Adam......son of God.....Lk.3:38

    a little off topic, but I was just reading the otherday that the ' sons of God' relates to a direct creation of God. Adam was a Son of God, the angels are sons of God, and we (Christians) are a son of God (because we are a new Creation in Christ). Jesus was the only begotten Son of God. I...

    The Purpose of a Prayer Request

    i think we should pray like Mary (Jesus' mother) did when she told him about the wedding party being out of wine. He said what has that got to do with me? My time has not yet come. Then she--pretty much ignoring what He told her--told the servants to listen to him and do exactly what He tells...

    Understanding The Flow of Our Lord's Book of Revelation

    If you read the first three chapters of Revelation, There are many Churches that go thru the tribulation. One (Philidephia) does not. No one knows for sure, but if you ask me, this wrath that has fallen on 'all the inhabitant of the earth' means no one is excluded. Post trib believers seem...

    Pre-destination and the elect

    read the verses on predestination again. Those He foreknew (in His infinite wisdom, He knew who would end up chosing His son), He predestined to be made in the image of His son. The only thing He predestined is for those that chose to believe in Christ, He predestined them to be made into...

    Do you know anyone having trouble with demons?

    Demons are real, but we need not fear them. God has not given us a spirit of fear but of sound mind. Fear actually gives the domons power that they long for. It's like you are agreeing with them the same way Adam and Eve agreed with them in the garden when they first gained the power over...

    Lawless Ones subverting the truth in Christ.

    Until a few years ago, I was a Christian and I had many sins. Some, I tryed to fight with my own might, I prayed for God to deliver me, I even prayed for God to take away my right to sin. I couldn't stop. Oh, I'd do fine for a while, but it would always come back. I was so frustrated. Then...
