Usually with our hand outstretched welcoming the tempter into our lives in peace.

Perhaps what Christ was saying, when He said this, "for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth," was that the hour is coming, when the time of the final judgement will occur, all who are in the graves at the time when the final judgement will...

This is a bold statement, but one which many are not able to comply with. The misconstructions of the theological understandings are now accepted as being the tradition of the "religion" of "Christianity" and many will defend that tradition without a second thought as to the truthfulness of...

No, Adam and Eve did not bring us the first death. The duration of a man's life was set and when God after His Sabbath Day of Rest began considering what was happening in the world during the second age, it was God who stated that He would no longer endure mankind for no more than 120 years and...

What Genesis 2:17 tells us is that if we sin and do not repent of our sin, that we will die the second death after we are judged to be unrighteous at the time of the Great Judgement at the end of the seventh age.

Fluffy, my prayer for you and yours has not changed over the years and I keep thanking God that He has heard my prayer and that He is still drawing you into His loving embrace so that you will know His love, care, purpose and peace. Shalom

Sadly, QT you are quoting the translators understanding of Genesis 2:17. This is the Interlinear presentation for this verse: - Notice that the Hebrew Word, "mō·wṯ" has the meaning of "A primitive root: to die (literally or figuratively)." It does not have the meaning of "surely." This is...

Yes, my Study Bible agrees with this number of occurrences as well. You have only confirmed what I had posted. That the number of occurrences of "God Himself" is dependent on the Translation Teams focus and their theological bent.

It seems that people are not able to put this timespan together to come to a similar conclusion as to when the judgement of humanity will happen. I do not think that Hobbie has the brain cells to be able to rebut the suggested time frame from now, with all of his "religious" knowledge.

You have not spent the time studying the scriptures using the interlinear to help you understand what the actual context of what was provided in the source text was and how the precious translations do not convey the same context in their words. Chinese whispers is an apt description of the...

This is what my study bible provided for me when I searched the NKJV for "God Himself": - Deuteronomy 3:22: - 22 You must not fear them, for the Lord your God Himself fights for you.' NKJV Deuteronomy 31:3: - 3 The Lord your God Himself crosses over before you; He will destroy these nations...

The question is, "How accurately were the reference translations that you used to check the accuracy of the translation you used in the first place?" It is a bit like chinses whispers, the message at the end of the line is often so jumbled that it bears no resemblance to the original message...

My Compass is founded on my relationship with God and His Scriptures. I find that the translations that we thump to drive our conclusions home have many contextual inconsistences where the meaning of the of the source texts has been turned on its head and misrepresents what the source texts...

^^ When does the judgement happen? The answer is in around 1,050 years from now, give or take a year or two.

The contextual accuracy of our understanding of the scriptures is demonstrated in your understanding of the Parable of the Talents and Minas as the great commission destroys the usual misunderstanding of these two parables. In both of these parables the entity that goes away for 1,000 years is...

What is Paul talking about here? How do we see this one verse being played out? Ephesians 5;12: - For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly...

Sorry QT, the actual beasts in the scriptures are wicked rebellious heavenly hosts who are cohorts of Satan and rebelled with him against God. The Little Horn is also a beast, and we are experiencing his dominion at the moment and in around 20 years' time he will be imprisoned in the Bottomless...

^^ Thank you for your testimony about your struggles. It was very encouraging for us all to become more dependent on God. Shalom

Sorry Scott Downey, but you have not understood this Parable of the Minas at all. This parable is not about Christ but about Satan being imprisoned in the Bottomless Pit for 1,000 years. Before Satan goes away, he will give his ten servants ten minas to trade with. When Satan will return...

The original biblical text was not full of contradictions, but our translations are. We all need God's help through the Holy Spirit to discern the contradictions and what the corrections should be. Our precious translations are so full of contextual errors that such we blindly accept them as...
