Paul never said that being married to an unbeliever automatically confers salvation upon the unbeliever or the children of their union. That idea would contradict other scriptures. Either this man believes that it does, or he has chosen an unfortunate way of expressing himself concerning the...

Idiocy. No salvation for the unmarried? More idiocy. God never instituted a traditional Latin mass back in the days of the tabernacle in the wilderness, nor in the days of the early church. Sainthood is not determined by our own actions. It is a status conveyed upon all the children of God...

ABSOLUTELY YES. Christ never abandoned His glorified, resurrected body form which ascended into the heavens in Acts 1. He was predicted to come "in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven". Any return of Christ to this planet of necessity requires that He do this in His glorified...

Daniel was very specific. So was Zechariah chapters 12-14 concerning the siege both against Judah and Jerusalem and Christ's bodily return to the Mount of Olives. The NT writers were also very specific about a resurrection that was about to happen in that first-century generation in that...

You are quite correct that this was not literal locusts, but was imagery portraying an army instead. But you are incorrect that this Revelation 9 plague is in our future. It's long past, and was fulfilled in the five-months period of AD 66 from April / May until August / September - when the...

The "sign" was predicted to appear in the heavens, which the believers were to watch for. This "sign" which indicated a timing for Christ's bodily return at the second coming was based on the appearance of the new moon. This new moon's appearance was diligently watched for by the priesthood...

Sure He did. With a specific mention of the most vulnerable being women with child and those who were nursing babies. And a recommendation that they pray that their physical flight out of Judea and Jerusalem would not take place during the winter (when the deluge of the "early rains" season...

That's not quite the way Daniel portrayed the iron kingdom of Rome. The "iron" of the Roman empire extended all the way from the legs to the tips of the toes. The "iron" of the Roman empire didn't stop at the legs in Daniel's statue, but became blended with the "clay" of the Israelite kingdom...

The true enemy we have left to contend with is the human "children of the devil", as Christ termed the hypocritical Pharisees of His days on earth. That, and our own hearts' evil impulses which are responsible for all manner of wickedness which is presently being manifested in the world today...

If you are going to quote me, please do it accurately. The literal past millennium years ended in AD 33 when "the remnant of the dead came to life again" as the "First resurrection" on the same day as Christ arose. Counting backward in time from the First resurrection in AD 33, a literal...

Of course the First resurrection was of Christ (and also the resurrected Matthew 27:52-53 saints). All of those were given the title of the "First-fruits" raised to life again on the same day. During their natural lifetimes on earth, they each had "lived and reigned with Christ" at varying...

Romans 16:20 says that Satan would be crushed by God - not the Roman believers. Satan as the formerly "anointed cherub" was to be turned into ashes upon the earth, as predicted by Ezekiel 28:18-19. Satan's fate was complete destruction so that "never shalt thou exist anymore" after God burned...

Those conditions you are listing were not included in the Revelation 20 description of the millennium.

The word "nation" or "nations" in scripture is also applied to districts in the land of Israel. The "nation of Samaria", for example. "Galilee of the nations" for another. The word "ethne" or "ethnos" simply applies to people groups as opposed to leadership. This can and is applied to Israel...

Of course Satan was walking about as a roaring lion in Peter's days. That was because Satan had then been released from his millennial "chain", and was once again deceiving the nations. But that time of release was only predicted to last "a little season". That "little season" was the...

The purpose of Satan being "chained" with a "seal" put upon this condition for a literal thousand years John said in Revelation 20:3 was to keep Satan from deceiving the nations until that literal thousand years had been fulfilled. This is a pretty clear statement. The fact that Christ and...

The bottomless pit - the "abysson" - is not a location one can locate on a map. It is a condition or a state of being, just as Christ was said to be in the abyss while His body lay in the tomb for three days and three nights in a non-functioning condition (as in Romans 10:7). Satan was placed...

I appreciate that - it's all anybody can ask of another person. Just remember, in Esther's time, God was arranging for His defense of the people of Israel, but in Gog's battle, God was coming against His land and the people of Israel at their "latter end".

I get it that this caught your attention. Just recently, I was at Aldi's getting hamburger, and every one of the packages I picked up were marked as costing $6.66. Made me laugh. Somebody in the packaging department was playing with things. But your concerns are groundless about seeing the...

I agree that the "last days" Jacob spoke about and the "latter days" of Ezekiel 38:16 were NOT referring to a future end of the world fulfillment as it is usually thought to be. It was actually the "latter end" of Israel as a people that both Jacob and Ezekiel 38 were speaking about. This was...
