For one thing, the title of "Lucifer" was never applied to Satan in scripture. It was a name applied to the king of Babylon - the "man" who had made all the nations tremble, but who would be slain and left unburied in Isaiah 14:16-20. For another thing, John wrote a warning to his own...

Satan as the "anointed cherub" no longer exists. He has been burned to ashes long ago on the earth, and as God told Satan in Ezekiel 28:18-19, "thou shalt no more exist" after that.

My desires of how to interpret this passage are immaterial and do not enter into the discussion. I read 2 John 9-11 quite plainly telling this "elect lady" how she was to vet anyone wishing to join the assembly. If anyone came unto the church desiring to join in fellowship with the believers...

Luke was giving an account of the same prediction as Matthew did. The AOD included. All of it was related to the destruction of Jerusalem along with the second-coming return of Christ. This return took place while there was still that Jerusalem temple in existence with its eastern gate - the...

Those towers were part of the walls of Jerusalem. Christ's prediction was that Jerusalem's enemies would not leave "IN THEE one stone upon another". That was INSIDE the walls of Jerusalem where everything would be torn down. Which did happen in the AD 70 period.

That is false. Christ said in Luke 19:44 that Jerusalem's enemies would not leave in her one stone upon another inside Jerusalem. All would be torn down and laid level with the ground, and this happened. Historians verify this, saying that if travelers came to the site after the AD 70 war's...

It makes her a teacher of a man. Something which you and others above have said she was not supposed to do. Yet Paul had nothing but praise written for this woman and her husband. And you have yet to address the facts about the "elect lady" who was leading the church in 2 John, and being...

No, you misunderstand. Christ predicted to Jerusalem in Luke 19:43-44 when armies would come to surround the city of Jerusalem and what they would do once they came. "For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in...

Rella, this list is immaterial about people claiming to be Jesus. Please pay careful attention to what Christ said in Matthew 24:5. He did NOT say false christs would arise saying "I am Jesus". They would arise saying "I am Christ". There is a distinction between these words. The word...

This indicates that ALL eventually experience the consuming fire of God's presence - but not all can survive that experience. Fire either refines or destroys, depending on what the substance is composed of. I find it very interesting that the particular blessing in Isaiah 33:14-17 which the...

The ability to be identified as being "In Christ" is not due to our human efforts - or lack thereof. Scripture is quite plain on this in 1 Cor. 1:29-30. "And because OF HIM are ye IN CHRIST JESUS, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption." All the...

Try Daniel 9:27. "...and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and with the abominable armies he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate." This is the KJV with its alternate...

The realm in which any prophesying was to be done was for the edification of all in the church - not just women and children. "But the one prophesying speaks to men for edification and encouragement and consolation." (1 Cor. 14:3). No particular segregation was required for the four...

Paul (and God) was condemning the manner of "authentein" or overbearing teaching of men - not the act of teaching itself, or Priscilla would have been condemned elsewhere for instructing Apollos in becoming better acquainted with the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Apparently in the...

Zao, you ignore the entire record of first-century historical events. Even when they started being recorded in the book of Acts in fulfillment of Christ's words in Matt. 24-25. This is self-delusion on your part. I have sat in your seat before for many decades, and by God's mercy have been...

???? The "removal of Christ our daily / continual sacrifice"??? You cannot be serious. In contrast to the physical daily offerings in the OC temple, "But this man, after he had offered ONCE SACRIFICE FOR SINS FOREVER, sat down on the right hand of God..." Christ's blood offering in...

You are completely missing the point Christ was making, and which I am emphasizing. You will remember the verse John 1:11 about "He came unto His own, and His own received Him not." This was Christ's own personal earthly ministry period on earth being spoken about in John 1. Because of the...

You have given a supreme example of self-delusion here. The entire Olivet Discourse of Matt. 24-25 was related to the dissolution of the physical temple system and its priesthood in those latter days of the first century before Christ's second coming bodily return in AD 70. The reason we...

Adam's disobedience brought about sinful results that included his inclination to rule over women from then on, and her fearful inclination to turn in deference to a man in an attempt to placate him instead of depending on her God. God did not approve of either the sin or the results of that...

You are mixing up the word "genea" with the word "genos". They don't mean the same thing at all. "Genos" means a type of people or a race. "Genea" means a specific age of time. When Christ used the term "THIS generation" (genea), He was referring to all those living then along with their...
