Drunkenness is indeed a sin... But there is no evidence in the Bible that God considers drinking, and feeling its effects, a sin. Drunkenness is a chronic condition, and it is also an altered mental state that certainly inhibits the Holy Spirit's work on our souls. Leviticus 10:9 But there...

Worth repeating. It's time we stopped looking at propaganda (another little trick we learned from people we once derided and fought against!) and looked at the fact that people have been using intoxicants from the beginning of time. It is not a sin to get high. It is a sin to neglect and...

It appears that now children are paying for their own executions... They posthumously have their body parts auctioned off to fund the next child's execution... sick sick sick! But I have to wonder how many anti-abortion people would be willing to save their lives, or the life of a loved one...

Ezekiel 40-48: Show me where this temple is for a time after the life of Christ. Name one place in the entire world that could actually sustain a temple and city of such magnitude... This new temple and city measure as wide (if not wider) than the earth itself! Add the measurements up and...

Jesus' ultimate sacrifice causes daily sacrifices to cease. It really is that simple. When He died on the cross, God himself tore the veil from the Holy of Holies, thereby desecrating the place where acceptable sacrifices can be made. Matthew 27:51 No amount of cleansing can return the...

OK, As I am sure you are aware, the Word of God confirms itself through other passages of scripture. So show me one other place besides Daniel where an antichrist figure is called the "Anointed One" The word "Christ" means "anointed one"... Christ confirms the covenant. Antichrist would also...

You can rebuild a Jewish Temple. You cannot rebuild God's Temple. And one would be a fool to think that God will move in just because someone built it. And the sacrifices done inside it will be a waste of time... It will be an abomination to God for people to build the temple. That is clear...

There is a HUGE difference between a theocracy and establishing a nation on Christian principles. I am in no way equating the two. I see so many media pundits erroneously do that these days and gullible people will lap it up because it tickles their ears... You're right, it is a myth that we...

I agree. Europeans (including UK) have a better grasp of American history than most Americans. I was raised in Europe and attended British and International schools, and I was astounded at how much more I know about our founding history than my fellow countrymen... For more than century now...

Other questions: Who is doing daily sacrifice these days? Daniel 9 is talking about Jesus (the Anointed One), not antichrist, that will make the temple into nothingness and abolish daily sacrifice. God tore the veil and destroyed the Holy of Holies when Jesus breathed His last on the cross...

"The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity." -John Quincy Adams

Very true. The age of Phariseeism in the US has had a very negative impact... Ask the average Joe in the US why they don't go to church, their first response will be the legalism... the long list of don'ts, the ugly looks, and snarky judgment from pew warmers... Ask them about grace, and they...

Perhaps there is an assumption that the two 3.5 year periods occur together... Perhaps they are two separate 42 month periods with a 2000+ year gap between them... Since the man-made temple is destroyed, and the believer's body is now the temple of God (1 Cor. 3:16-17 and 2 Cor. 6:16), how do...

No. I keep saying just that... perhaps you misread what I wrote... You and I are in complete agreement on this. Persecution and God's wrath are two totally different events. God's wrath will happen when Jesus and His army come down and destroy the earth AFTER a period of great persecution...

OR that recent teachings are based on their interpretations, which seems to be the case. Once you read the books, you'll see what I mean... Yes, 42 months is mentioned as a time period, but I think this is based on the writers' tendency to use a style common to their readership at the time...

A tribulation is just that - a time of suffering and persecution... wrath is punishment. A tribulation is not wrath. Persecution is not punishment. God's wrath will happen when Jesus and His army come down and destroy the earth after a period of great persecution and suffering. Sinners are...

Yes. And I am not trying to direct this at your personally, but those theories were posited by Lindsey and LeHaye in the 70's... And since the era of Late Great Planet Earth and Left Behind, I have grown skeptical of those theories that make all of John's revelations far into the future... I...

"For the mystery of iniquity doth already work"... Yes, the spirit of antichrist will reign until Jesus' return... The one who exalted himself above god was satan himself... and then he got a few humans to do it here on earth. Satan's baby??? Nah, more like people who are under satan's...

That more accurately describes the "spirit" of antichrist, not a person, does it not? And yes, people see wonders and miracles from their own sense of divinity.
