What have historical and ethnological studies indicated in regard to the origin of the peoples of Western Europe? It is one thing to say, for example, that Belgians are known for 'dainties,' the French for this, the Swiss for that, etc. However, that does not have bearing on the actual origin...

(lizz7711;50774) it makes little sense to me that the last week would be separated by 2000+ years. It makes no sense grammatically. It simply isn't there. I have studied this topic with peole who were firm beleivers in futurism. In carefully reviewing the materials, we found no support...

Revelation 13 vv. 1 - 10 describe a great power which received a deadly wound. The description of this power is very similar to that of the 'little horn' in Daniel 7. It is described as a 'beast' in Rev. 13, made up of the four beasts in Dan. 7. This beast was given dominion over many...

(David323;55039) Also where it tells how it takes a believer to understand the Bible? Paul the apostle says that "the natural man understandeth not the things of God." They are foolishness to him. The Holy Spirit is promised to believers, to 'guide them into all truth." Jn. 16Dave

(guysmith;54306) That same term (har moed) was used by Satan when he said, “I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation.” This ties the battle of Armageddon to the original threat of Satan I came up with the same words in my study of Armageddon. First of all, there is no geographical...

(Unorthodox Christian;54738) No Sir I believe the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH PLAYS a big role in that WOMAN COMING INTO POWER. Remember a Woman in the Bible Plays the Role of a Church.Eve, Jezebel, Israel(Church Israel) I agree. The RC does wish to have her worldly power restored. Such has been...

(kriss;54768) Christ came not to change the laws of the old testament but to fulfill them That particular application of the word, which in English may have various shades of meaning, means, per the Greek, phlrosai, to give the true meaning to. The other Greek word for 'fulfill,' which we often...

(tim_from_pa;54747) The Old Covenant is the Law of Moses at Sinai, The Old Covenant is found in Ex. 19:1 - 8. It is not specifically the 'law of Moses,' but it is a 'covenant' in the sense of a 'treaty' (NIDOTTE) under which God promised to make Israel His special people on condition that they...

Hi, I just happened to read this thread. A point of clarification may be helpful. In reference to the idea of praying to the dead, Moses and Elijah were mentioned earlier. However, Elijah was taken to heaven in a chariot of fire, without seeing death. He was 'translated,' as Paul describes...

(kriss;49613) I just read an article that every American should read very carefully for terrible things are about to happen there, and the government is getting ready for it http://www.uaff.us:80/deathcamps.htm and the majority of Americans are living in total denial to what is happening or...

Why would there be a connection between the trumpets blown in Exodus and the 7th trumpet in Revelation?

I just this evening followed this thread. Very interesting. I enjoy these types of discussions. As for the 2,300 days, I too have done research looking into the question. I read on it in a dictionary of OT Theology and Exegesis (NIDOTTE) (Zondervan: Willem van Gemeren, ed.,) a...

I am new to this forum and am just now looking at this whole thread. Very interesting discussion. I would guess that most of us who are Christians have been very seriously interested in the subject of the Antichrist. I, too, have done a bit of digging, in both Scripture and history. The...

(Learning;48893) I pray that God corrects me and whatever purpose(s) I am here for He conveys to me to the point I can hear Him. Right now I feel I have failed in all areas. Don't be discouraged, Learning. "All have sinned, and fallen short of the glory of God." He delights in forgiving, and...

Hi Learniing,Yes, God has promised to help us. As I understand the Bible, and my personal experience mirrors this, God helps us at every step. God reaches out to us, He awakens in us the desire for a better life, He draws us to the cross to behold Jesus dying for our sins, He leads us to...

(biblicalthought;46640) I simply stated that according to the grammar of the text, this argument will not work because God's foreknowledge is not tied to a "what" but rather a "whom." If faith was in view, Paul would have written, For what he foreknew, not for whom He foreknew. Are you relying...

(sexymadison69;45953) In Romans 8And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,[j] who[k] have been called according to his purpose. 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many...

But there are other verses that make it clear that God did not originate evil. God is light and He is good, and there is no evil in Him. In what sense could He be said to 'create' evil? An example: The Holy Spirit works with two individuals. One responds positively, and follows the right...

(cronnie36;48760) Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. Revelation 16:15 Don't we owe it to Him to get to the bottom of this and follow His instruction . . . Who is with me on this? Has this helped anyone to...

Absolutely. The game is evil. Once we were going to rent some commercial space in a building, but down in the basement they had a game room and they played d & d all the time. There was an evil presence there. The game certainly doesn't meet the standard of Philippians 4:8--"Finally...
