    Did John really write Revelation while on Patmos? Maybe not.

    Yes. When you look at the 3 John letters and Revelation, they are all supposedly written around the same time which is a pretty good stretch, and is indefinitive, covering a period before and after the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD. For certain Revelation pertains to before the fall because John is...

    Did John really write Revelation while on Patmos? Maybe not.

    That might very well be (or not), but that still doesn't address Rev 10:11 which lends credence to my op position.

    Did John really write Revelation while on Patmos? Maybe not.

    Read closely Rev 1:9 9I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. Note the word highlighted, "was", that it's past...

    Should we pray the Lord's prayer daily?

    meaningless. Repetitive, scripted, etc, is no different than what Muslims do when everyone holds out their hands like they're catching water. Sincere prayer from the heart, not from script.

    Was Jesus' Kingdom of God present in the OT?

    His kingdom on earth is the church, so, no, not OT

    Is witchcraft, Voodoo, etc., real?

    Absolutely 100%. There are tons of documentary utube videos that show unbelievable, undeniable hard to believe things. I've watched many myself. The devil is not shy to present himself as opposed to God who won't be tempted and requires faith. I can provide links if anyone wishes, but simply...

    What is the age of accountability?

    No definitive age, like when the clock strikes 12 midnight on a specific day in your life, and the only guide we have is the Lord himself, being 12 years old when he began doing his father's work, Luke 2:42. Because there is no definitive age, and people mature at different rates, it's important...

    Understanding Matthew 5:27-8

    So, the bible can't be and wasn't intended to be understood by the common, everyday, man, right? We commoners can't look at the bible in it's simplicity to understand such things as salvation, right? The simple words that Philip spoke to the Ethiopian eunuch really had deeper esoteric meaning...

    Understanding Matthew 5:27-8

    Like I said, believe what you like; and, FYI, God's word is simple and understandable as God intended it to be. It's mankind that twists and complicates it by applying their illogical logic. Goodbye

    Understanding Matthew 5:27-8

    You can believe what you like, but you're way off on a tangent, not addressing the directness and simplicity of the subject Jesus was speaking to. The context here in Matt 5:27-8 is not an esoteric discussion or subject nor requiring a likewise esoteric dissertation by the Lord. It's actually...

    Understanding Matthew 5:27-8

    Not necessarily OK, but it's not adultery in your heart, because it's not adultery to begin with. This passage is dealing with adultery, not pursuing a woman to engage in fornication. Two different things. I'm only addressing the one that Jesus referred to in this passge and that is the subject...

    Understanding Matthew 5:27-8

    What is "spiritual adultery"? Define it. Simply put, Jesus is talking about the actual, physical, act of committing adultery here and is simply saying that if you pursue a married woman with the intent of engaging in sexual intercourse with her, you've already committed the act of adultery in...

    Understanding Matthew 5:27-8

    There is a lot of confusion that surfaces from time-to-time regarding the meaning and implications of Matt 5:27-28, which is predicated upon a lack of careful reading and understanding of what was actually said and the specific words used therein and their relative meaning. First of all, you...

    Baptism in the name of?

    Yes! 'By the authority of'; otherwise you have a conflict of scripture: "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost", and, "in the name of Jesus Christ". Which is it? It's either one.

    Was baptism always by immersion?

    Baptism means immersion irregardless of how mankind chose to and continues to choose to pervert the meaning

    Is it important to keep the Sabbath?

    The sabbath was part of the covenant made by God with the Jews, not us. A covenant is an agreement between 2 parties. To keep the sabbath is not restated in the new testament as a requirement to be kept by Christians. The day of worship for the Christian is the 1st day of the week as various...

    Are there prophets today?

    Obviously not a true prophet but a phony one since he spoke presumptuously and not of God, hence they were not to fear him. Read it again, slowly so you can understand it.

    Are there prophets today?

    Yes, that's exactly what a prophet is. Foretelling future events as told to them by the Lord. Deuteronomy 18 21You may ask in your heart, “How can we recognize a message that the LORD has not spoken?” 22When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD and the message does not come to pass or come...
