    You don’t know; we Jews know

    Is the Father a monotheist? He identifies Jesus as God. But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. Heb. 1:8 It's forgivable though since Jesus did not consider equality with God something that you could grasp...

    You don’t know; we Jews know

    Well, I won't bother getting into a long, drawn out, futule argument; so we'll just disagree. But when you see Him, will you bow a knee and worship Him?

    You don’t know; we Jews know

    Jesus is Yaweh/Jehovah. The pre-incarnate Jesus spoke to Moses on Exodus. 3:14. "I AM WHO I AM" and instructs Moses to tell the Israelites, "I AM has sent me to you". That was a brief introduction to God. A beginning of a relationship that would grow and in time, God would fully reveal Himself...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    I supported the 7th Trumpet as the last in context with the events in Rev 11:15-19. Also the 7 bowls are identified as the wrath of God, which are released at hat time. I am a Mid-Trib/ Pre-Wrath adherent btw, not Post - Trib.

    Two alligators captured after Florida woman killed while canoeing

    You'd think turtles are docile and slow... I love snorkeling with sea turtles, but never came across a alligator snapping turtle. https://images.app.goo.gl/pkfuhMYM2i8fecRz5

    Two alligators captured after Florida woman killed while canoeing

    "There's my big boy"! Please, they are not domestic animals, not pets. We are supposed to subdue animals, keep their populations down to keep us out of danger. We should be able to swim and boat freely anywhere without threat. This animal activist/ rights theme has granted southern states as...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    John received the Revelation on 95AD; Jesus acquired it when He ascended. Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?" 3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    It's your perogative and perspective. Many of the present day theologians sm that I have learned from are Pre-Trib too! But when you start witnessing catastrophic events as described in the 7 Seals and 6 Trumpets and the Church is still here, you'll quickly abandon your Pre-Trib. view. >>>...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    Jesus received the scroll almost 2,000 years ago. The elders present could not be tuw church- it hadn't even gotten started. No, these were OT saints (prophets, kings, etc.) like Abraham, Moses, Elijah, Daniel, Isaiah, Joseph, Eziekiel, David, Solomon, Hezekiah, Samuel, Josiah, Johoshaphat...

    Is the Gift of Salvation nullified by the consequences of refusal?

    The gift is contingent on your belief that Jesus died for your sins and rose on the third day. It doesn't cost you anything to believe. Those who reject Jesus aren't offered the gift. Your faith is your gift ... and it appears you have little! Lack of faith prohibits salvation. Doubts are...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    The great multitude seen in heaven came OUT OF the Great Tribulation, meaning they were in it! These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. REV. 7:14 But listen, keep your view, one of many.

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    One taken, one left happens at His return. He returns after the AC reigns s for 3.5 years. Because when Jesus comes He does not delay His judgment. At the 7th Trumpet, He immediately goes to war with AC - it does not take years. So His wrath obviously disrupts and ends the AC reign. His coming...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    The crucial event which is key to solving the time of the Rapture is the "last trumpet". Since there are a series of trumpet sounds in Revelation, one must reason that the last trumpet is the 7th. We have to rule out the Feast of Trumpets. Why? Because this last trumpet is not blown by a human...

    IS THE RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION?

    The wrath is towards the end of the Great Tribulation that lasts approximately 3.5 years. (1278 days, 8 hours, 42 minutes would be close to exact - but the phrase "time, times and half a time" is not intended to mean precisely). We have several other scriptures mentioning the approximate time...

    Can a tare become saved?

    The analogy comparing man's spiritual state to physical wheat and tares is written for us to perceive it. Much of spiritual insight must be passed down to us in terms we can relate to. This of course borders on the argument between points of view of that either God chose us or we chose Him. Free...

    Can a tare become saved?

    That is a very astute observation. > It seems that tares are reprobate, irredeemable hosts that God has already "given them over to a debased mind", let them go. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in...

    Islamic community NOT allowed!

    They probably figured if they could pull this off in Texas, they could do it anywhere in the states. I like the phrase: "Get outta town!" A message to all Muslims: If you want Sharia Law, move to one if the 8 countries below. 50 Muslim-majority countries exist. 23 countries with majority...

    Scofield Bible Damage and Atheist Arguments

    Apocalypse? Absolutely! Prophetic? Yes, it will happen in the future. The phrase apocalyptic language is the peterist's justification to render it mostly symbolic. No, it's just visions describing literal details that will come to be. Examine all the Messianic scriptures in the OT. Jesus...

    Scofield Bible Damage and Atheist Arguments

    My eschatological view is based on scripture alone..I've read and listened to many commentaries; but I always test them with scripture. Why don't you have a quick read? I know you won't agree, but it is right there in scripture. You see the thing you do is if the scripture contradicts your...

    Scofield Bible Damage and Atheist Arguments

    As I stated earlier, If you misinterpret the literal meaning of one day in Genesis, you likely will misinterpret the end of the story and parts of the middle as well. >>You adhere to false theologies: Amillennialism and Replacement theology. Replacement theology leads to antisemitism. You...
