    Arguments from silence don't carry much weight, especially when there is no context where you'd find a late 19th century word used when such a word has no equivalent in the NT Greek. But, better, considering context, why did Jesus not condemn male to male sex when he was referring to the sin of...

    Why anyone with any knowledge of the Bible would quote Leviticus 18:22 to a gay CHRISTIAN, escapes me. To whom is Leviticus 18:22 written and meant for? It certainly is NOT for a New Covenant believer, a Christian. "These are the statutes and ordinances and laws that the LORD established...

    I am convinced that not only did God create me with a knowledge of Him and His law; he created me with commonsense realism. When Jesus says the bread and wine are His body and blood; He is sitting right there with them, so it is illogical to say the "symbols" are Himself! Only a nutty, extreme...

    "Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation." (Heb 13:7 KJV) There is that serious criteria as to has the rule over the local assemblies of Christ. That prior verse shows it is not all who...

    There may be those who read this thread for whom the topic concerns themselves, a family member or friend. The Bible condemns loose words that slander or condemn unjustly. On homosexuality, there are two passages where many modern translations render it "practicing homosexuals" or something...

    There was the saying "Trust but verify" but online it is best termed "Do NOT trust and do verify". As an example, #24 on the Rosary. Is the date of 1090 AD wrong? Was the Rosary invented prior to that date? Here is a quick research to verify - This list of inventions and heresies is to...

    You may find the following of interest as to the RCC ever changing doctrine in 2000 years. Which Roman Catholic Church are we referring to? In which century, and with what new invention. The list starts on page 3: https://www.tlchrist.info/keithgreen/boettner_romancatholocism.pdf I have...

    Jesus was an Oriental in west Asia

    The magazine Christianity Today has stirred up the social media with their article about photos depicting Jesus looking like an Oriental. Well, Jesus was from west Asia, the Orient. Why was it more offensive to portray Jesus as looking like a Chinese than depict him looking like white...

    Understanding the Prophecy of 70 Weeks

    ALL SIX POINTS OF DAN 9:24 were fulfilled within the 490 years, which ended in the 1st century. They were fulfilled in Christ and the body of Christ, the temple of God. I'll stay with God's word on that rather than the schemes of men. To finish the transgression: (rebellion will be stopped)...

    Once you wrote "So there are discrepancies that pop up between Luke and Matthew time and again, like this:" I do not now pay any attention to anything you wrote or will write. There are NO discrepancies in the Holy Spirit inspired men's writings, between books or otherwise.

    HOW CAN YOU HAVE A REBORN ISRAEL WITH A 3RD TEMPLE CONSIDERING THE FOLLOWING? THE IDEA OF A 3RD TEMPLE MUST BE READ INTO THE BIBLE, BECAUSE IT IS NOT STATED SO. "Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. (Matt...

    Redd, all I see in your reply is a rather pompous self-righteousness that you are so spiritual to see things not written the scriptures. I'll reply to one most would say needs to be fulfilled in our day. "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth...

    There is no need to go "mystical" on the 70th week. The following article makes it clear. The 69 weeks .... The remaining week (The following is just a part of the article. The 70th week is quite literal! Read the entire article, it is not long.) "In the opening chapters of the book of Acts...

    Redd, if this is the post you say I ignored, I'll address it now. The Greek used in Rev. 11:1 and 11:19 are both - G3485 naos From the BDAG - naos "a place or structure specifically associated with or set apart for a deity, who is frequently perceived to be using it as a dwelling, temple." a...

    As to ignoring what you posted, I cannot take time to refute all the errors I see on this thread. I do NOT deny that the general resurrection and judgment is in our future, nor did D. S. Clark in his commentary. I do emphatically deny that there is any specific sign of prophecy we can point to...

    The best understanding of Rev. 11:1-2 is by D. S. Clark in his preterist commentary on Revelation. I believe the symbolism from the OT explains this as it does much of Revelation. "V. 1. John is given a reed and told to measure the temple and altar and worshippers. Why should he measure them...

    Traditional Interpretation of Daniel 9:24-27 John Wesley presents the most succinct explanation of Daniel 9:24-27 which is considered the traditional understanding. It is the interpretation I find most compelling and it generally is in agreement with Matthew Poole. Wesley wrote: Daniel 9:24...
