    Is there a potential "Mark of the Beast" coming?

    Where is the mark of the beast spoken of …….Rev 13 Who is Revelation addressed to Rev 1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; Rev 1:11...

    Rev 21:14 Names of 12 Apostles on the Foundations?

    When you consider that it was about 35+ years after Pentecost when Luke received the revelation from Jesus Christ to write the book of Acts… One might consider that if He (Jesus) did not want that record in there … it may have been left out …in order to make room for Paul……Just say’n ….It's...

    Rev 21:14 Names of 12 Apostles on the Foundations?

    You almost wrote my script on that. ...I had the same feelings at discovery.

    Rev 21:14 Names of 12 Apostles on the Foundations?

    Gift ministry of an Apostle: One that goes out into the world – teaches God’s word, casts out devil spirits, raises the dead, establishes churches. Divinely appointed founders of the church….brings new light to a dark nation. Mat 10:1-10, Mar 3:14-19, Luk 6:13-16…Paul 1Co 15:6-8, a chosen vessel...

    Rev 21:14 Names of 12 Apostles on the Foundations?

    Paul's conversion was at minimum 5 years from from the day of Pentecost... I have not seen in the Bible where is say's Paul is one of the 12. HIs apostle(ship) was a gift ministry ...actually as far as I can tell from the Word Paul had all 5 of the gift ministries → prophet, teacher...

    Rev 21:14 Names of 12 Apostles on the Foundations?

    The selection of Matthias can more clearly be seen in the scripture. Act 1:16 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. Act 1:20 For it is written in the...

    Rev 21:14 Names of 12 Apostles on the Foundations?

    Maybe …maybe not. Here is the problem with that. If Jesus did not want to have the apostles replace Judas with Matthias... Jesus would have let them know beforehand …. That is assuming Judas did hang himself shortly after returning the 30 pieces of silver. But the obverse to that is …..that...

    Rev 21:14 Names of 12 Apostles on the Foundations?

    I lean towards no... but ...we just don't know. He was an apostle, but even though he was forgiven by the Lord.... he was replace by Matthias.

    I have difficulty believing that souls will be damned to the Lake of Fire

    This section is talking about the love of God (agape)…. not (phileō) worldly love. I am sure they may have loved (phileō) someone ... they for sure loved themselves. There is the possibility that at one time in their life they may have accepted Christ as their lord and savior ...who knows? If...

    I’m Not Going To Hell; How About You? = John 14;6, John 14;10-14

    I believe qeber is the grave itself ….and sheol is the reign, state, or time of being in the grave. I believe Bullinger referred to it as gravedom………….. It is a continuing state until Christ returns

    What we are? discussion

    Where God used to dwell in the structural temple He now dwells in us …. The Temple … the holy of holies “naos” is how we as the body of Christ (a group of, or the entire body) are referenced. throughout this administration of grace ONLY ….it then changes back to the structure building in...

    Is there a way to start at the beginning study?

    You are not specific on your cognitive problem …. So I will ask. Is it reading for the sake of reading that causes you to become dissociated. What happens if you are reading (anything) for a purpose? In search of something (an answer you have a question to) …………..same results or can you read...

    I’m Not Going To Hell; How About You? = John 14;6, John 14;10-14

    Are you done changing you question….or should I wait? That is how God determines a natural man in the Bible …. But I am sure you have another.

    The Rapture vs. the Pre-tribulational Rapture

    I am not your enemy…. We are all members of the body of Christ …and the true enemy would like nothing more than to have us destroy each other from within. I have no problem with members of the body disagreeing with me …”iron sharpens iron”. But……… And you can take this for what it’s worth ...

    The Rapture vs. the Pre-tribulational Rapture

    I don’t know where you get those definitions from …but we have to define words according to how the Bible assigns them. This is the first use of this word AIR in the Greek (aēr) Act 22:23 as referred to atmospheric air. A cloud is simply a cloudy, cloud-mass from the Greek nephelē Mat 17:5 is...

    Holy Spirit - The Sin Against

    This Administration of grace also has a vanishing point, it is a full stop ::: after the gathering of the Church…which is when Revelation begins. Whether you believe in the gathering together unto Him or not …..there is clear scriptural evidence that shows this administration of Grace ceasing...

    Holy Spirit - The Sin Against

    There is no verse that states “once saved always saved”. But there are several verses that plainly state that that seed (the spirit of God) is permanent. Hebrews as you know was not written to the church as we know it. It was written to the Jews of the dispersion who had a tough time with the...

    Holy Spirit - The Sin Against

    I wish I had a sophisticated answer for that. But when God says - which liveth and abideth for ever. (1Pe 1:23)…that’s what He means ….He did not put any conditional clauses on His statement…… Thankfully! 1Co 3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a...

    Holy Spirit - The Sin Against

    Matt I think we may have engaged in this discussion on CF some time ago…but I will reiterate what I know of the unforgivable sin ….of which some the scripture you presented, apply to. Mat 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the...
