Even today, the Name of God shows up in people's names. Benjamin Netanyahu, current prime minister of Israel for one. Netahyahu means "gift of Yahweh". And is Yeshua (Jesus) the Yahweh of scripture? Isaiah 41:4 (NKJV) Who has performed and done it, Calling the generations from the...

You can read, right?

Isaiah 41:4 (NKJV) Who has performed and done it, Calling the generations from the beginning? ‘I, the Lord, am the first; And with the last I am He.’ Isaiah 44:6 (NKJV) Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel, And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: ‘I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me...

I would say it doesn't "plainly" state that or many over the decades and centuries would not have been debating it.

Mind if I step in here for a second? I am pretty sure that Yeshua said the generation that sees the signs He mentioned coming to pass, that is the generation that would not pass away until all be fulfilled. The grammatical construct would suggest that. He mentions the signs of things coming...

That's fine. You don't see those passages I mentioned the same way. There are people all over the map on these things, so I in no way take offense that you don't see them the same way I do.

Are you sure? In Revelation 12, we see a child being born that will rule with a rod of iron. In Revelation 2:26-27, we see that those who overcome will likewise rule with a rod of iron along side Yeshua. Who are they ruling over? Rev 12 is also describing how a birth is going on, and the...

Well, Scott, Isaiah seems to allude to this idea pretty well.... Isaiah 26:19-21 (NKJV) Your dead shall live; Together with my dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust; For your dew is like the dew of herbs, And the earth shall cast out the dead. 20 Come, my people...

There is that...... bad mental image though! :eek:

Ask a local school teacher and they might say those beasts could be found in their classrooms! :D

You could well be correct. I think there are better approaches to that, as we see where it has gotten us thus far.

Both Calvanism and Arminianism have two things in common... they are both right in what they assert and they are both wrong in what they deny. But it does beg the question.... if one is a believer and has placed their trust in Messiah, why would they waste time worrying about either position...

The kingdom parables do outline something quite different than what many people have come to believe about the future time the Messiah will reign. The parable of the Leaven is short but paints a pretty bleak picture or the situation in the kingdom during that time. Leaven throughout scripture...

One should read any book from the beginning, not jump to the end to grab a verse to support a particular view. Let's see.... 7 chapters earlier..... Ezra 3:1 (NKJV) And when the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered together as one man to...

It is generally a minefield that many pastors prefer not to touch. Thankfully, small groups meeting in homes are not afraid to tackle it. Actually, I think that is a better deal anyway, as it allows interaction instead of just one guy standing up in front and espousing his particular view...

One can when they realize that all the tribes came together in 2 Chronicles, when all the tribes joined together with the southern kingdom of Judah under Rehoboam. And more so even later in the same book. And Ezra called the returning remnant of Babylon Jews 8 times and all Israel 40 times...

And basing doctrinal positions on what the early church did is a minefield if there ever was one. The Church couldn’t even get thru the first century before it was messing up pretty significantly. The NT shows a lot of it. And the report card given to those seven churches in Revelation leaves...

Well, even though Peter was an eye witness of Yeshua, even he stated that we have "the more sure word of prophecy". It is the prophetic applications to Yeshua that makes the case. The statistical probability of all the various prophecies regarding Messiah are greater than for any other event...

I can say in essence the same thing about your assertion. That they are based on bias and erroneous. Doesn't make either of us right or either of us wrong. Frankly, I don't really waste a lot of time on side issues like this to put a lot of thought into it. Takes too much time away from what...

Oh, I don't think so. A look up of many definitions regarding purgatory and they specifically suggest it is a place of purification or cleansing of unrighteousness, which includes some sort of suffering and expiating sins from the person. As if there is a second chance at salvation. Paul...
