I think many Christians would defend the Left Behind series of books and movies also as entertainment, and Jenkins would probably approve. However, the vast majority of Christianity accepts the impending "rapture" as a biblical fact, and that series has done nothing than to bolster that belief.

I watched about 3 episodes in total about 2 years ago. I found it uninspiring, and effectually reduced the character of Christ to a mere caricature of the powerful divine human we read of in scripture. This probably ought to be no surprise, coming as it does from a production team that is Mormon.

And Trump was educated at one of their universities. 2 years there being indoctrinated into Jesuit thinking and their worldview. Of course he loves the Pope and will easily and readily affirm a union of a Catholicised Protestant American church with the state, and as promised, He will grant the...

Most people only consider what's good for them. Can't think past that. Not that I would think @marks as belonging to that sector, I believe he's a deeper thinker than many give him credit for. Although you did give him a good clue...quote... I don't mean the side benefits we derive from it.

Just takes a little cyanide added to the recipe to accomplish its purpose.

You realise do you not that God's proclamation on Sinai concerning His law wasn't a new thing right? I mean, the serpent lied to Eve yeah? And when Cain rose up against his brother and killed him, that was murder right? And when Joseph ran from his master's wife and suffered jail rather than...

I think we are missing something of we believe Jesus comes back with rewards for the faithful (and death for the unbeliever) , and then later preside over the judgement. Isn't that all back to front? Where is the justice of the good are separated from the evil, the good are translated and the...

I would be horrified if anyone was pressured to/required to carry out all those things as soon as they first believed. Frankly, I find it hard to believe.

What makes anything holy? The temple... The Sabbath...us? It is the presence of God. The tent in the wilderness was holy because of the glory of God in the most holy place, above the mercy seat. The prophecies concerning the second temple to come excited Israel, but the realisation of its size...

When Jesus declared, your house is left into you desolate. That was the final time Jesus was in the temple, making it holy.

True... True also... And this... And indeed this was well. All correct. Might I add, defying God's authority and accepting another's in His place? Like the church... Tradition...our own personal interpretation of scripture...yep, even we put ourselves above God when we defend our...

So while we may not yet be 'perfectly' mature having all knowledge and holiness in all things, we can be perfect in our growing and learning. Even rose buds, though not fully mature, can be perfect.

However, there is another option we may consider in understanding that difficult to passage from Peter regarding Noah's time and the spirits in prison. The death and resurrection of Jesus. After discussing the sufferings that early Christians were facing (1 Peter 3:13–17), the disciple turns to...

“10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory...

They are correct. There is a price. But we don't pay it. The cost of our redemption is a package deal along with the free gift. The cost that God paid was infinite, in that for all eternity His Son will be a man. That was the free gift... Christ Himself becoming a human person like us. God gave...

Like the wind, which is invisible, yet the effects of which are plainly seen and felt, is the Spirit of God in its work upon the human heart. That regenerating power, which no human eye can see, begets a new life in the soul; it creates a new being in the image of God. While the work of the...

Bottom line is that Jesus is returning for a bride that is spotless, without blemish. He is waiting for us to make ourselves ready for the Bridegroom. We are not waiting for Him. He will come when we are ready. Forsake all sin and unrighteousness, love God with all our hearts and everyone else...

Sounds like you're doing great. Good on you.

Methinks you need to take your own counsel. The proper interpretation is that the Lord did indeed preach to those sinners who are now dead, but He did so when they were alive and had the ability to hear with their ears and repent. And the Lord accomplished that through His prophet, Noah, a...
