As if they could possibly know that in just three hours. Of course it was terrorism.

There are other factors at play here besides God's will; there's also our wills. So, if someone chooses to exit this life early, that will certainly derail God's plans for their life. Then there's just the result of living in a fallen world where bad things happen. That doesn't negate that God's...

If it wasn't for the Apostle Paul, Christianity might have remained a a small insular Jewish religion. Paul was instrumental in spreading Christianity to the non-Jews. He's the one who corrected Peter for not eating with gentiles.

Can you give an example? In dealing with "apparent" contradictions, it's been my experience that there's always a plausible explanation to be found, even if it's not always possible to know the definitive answer. How so? This has always been indirect evidence for me that supports a global...

Yes, I think that's accurate. 1 John 3:2 says, "Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is." It appears will be elevated from what we are now, whatever all the entails...

I learned some interesting things that were quite thought provoking. Did you know that physical objects are not actually solid? If you go down to the molecular level, everything is composed of atoms. Each atom has a nucleus, containing protons and neutrons. If you had an atom the size of a...

Guns have always been a part of America's founding, but school/mass shootings are relatively recent. They more or less started with the Columbine massacre in '99. Before then, school shootings were very rare. The only one that comes to mind is the University of Texas tower shooting in '66. There...

God exists outside of time in an eternal present. If there's no time, as we understand it, there can't be a beginning or an end. That's why God said He's the alpha (first) and omega (end) who knows the end from the beginning. It's very difficult for us to grasp the thought of an eternal being...

Physically, they would be indistinguishable.

You should check out Michael S. Heiser's work on the Divine Council. Michael was a Bible scholar who was proficient in Greek and Hebrew, so he knew his stuff. Keep in mind we're reading an English translation, so when "elohim" is translated as "gods," it's easy to assume it's talking about...

I usually only use ChatGPT for research purposes or finding obscure information. It has, however, been flat out wrong on multiple occasions. It also has a left-leaning bias built into it.

Prelude to the image of the Beast.

Pardoning someone for crimes they haven't even been convicted of is an admission of guilt. They might as well wear a big giant "P" scarlet letter on their chest.

They took sexual purity and virginity very serious in those days. Virginity was something to be coveted, unlike today were it's given away willy-nilly.

Notice the parallels with Ezekiel 10:14-15: Eze 10:14 Each one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, the second face the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. Eze 10:15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This was the living creature...

Is there more scriptural support that Israel will turn from their unbelief? Yes, and it happens during the Great Tribulation. Let’s examine the end-time sequence of events. Zechariah 14 is very prophetic. It says of those days that the nations of the world will fight against Jerusalem and it...

Israel is often compared in the Bible to the unfaithful wife who cheats on her husband, in their case, God. However, another comparison can be made in the parable of the prodigal son (Luk 15:11-32). In the parable, a man had two sons. The younger son took his inherence, traveled to a faraway...

The one I'm referring to no longer exists. I believe it was founded by Herb Peters and later managed by his daughter, Holly. I'm pretty sure I've seen your name and avatar before. I went by the nickname Watchman and Jericho.

Hey Douggg, weren't you on the Fulfilled Prophecy forum at one time?

Forced conversions are not Biblical. If anyone did that, the blame should fall on them and not Christianity. Not everyone who claims to be a Christian is a Christian. I would also note that that was not every native's experience. Some tribes, like the Cherokee, adopted Christianity...
