    Dating the NT Books

    In various biblical topics, such as the dating and interpretation of the book of Revelation, a person's perspective; where they are coming from is helpful to know. My perspective or foundational beliefs that guide me are as follow. I find that it is the liberals, the deniers of the...

    Dating the NT Books

    So you are going to take your interpretation of history and use that to contradict the explicit statement of the scripture, which gives no hint of a gap between the 69th and 70th week? That requires one to ignore the literal, explicit statement of the 70 weeks, and then contradict that by...

    Dating the NT Books

    The literal temple in Jerusalem: "And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the...

    Dating the NT Books

    David, you start off mentioning "Common sense", but we should keep in mind the famous quote by Voltaire, "Common Sense is not so common". You have given complicated, detailed arguments presented in an article online. It would take a long time to address those issues, even if I were qualified...

    Dating the NT Books

    Ronald, where in Daniel chapter 9 do you find any way to justify inserting the gap between the 69th and 70th week? I grew up on the Scofield, devoured the book, "Late Great Planet Earth" and even drove to see Jack Van Impe in person. I was really into it. I was never shown where there was a...

    I'm looking for a Christian Forum

    No Christian is perfect, because he has some errors, misunderstandings, etc. I suppose in an online forum you'd find the same, not perfect. The Moderator(s) on this forum do give wide latitude; but for me, it seems this forum is better than most.

    The Seed of the Righteous Never go Hungry?

    "I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread." (Ps 37:25 KJV) Matthew Poole has good comments on this verse: "This assertion seems to be contradicted by many experiences; nor can it be denied, that both good men and their children...

    Newsom/DeSantis Debate starts

    I noticed you write "Commonwealth" so maybe Pennsylvania, a larger metro area? I spent my life voting in the Commonwealth of Virginia but never experienced any problem, but I lived in a rural area of small towns. My experience there was never negative with my voting. So far here in Florida...

    Are Doctrines affected by Modern Versions

    When it comes to the culture wars that began with opposition to such translations of "young woman" in Isaiah 7:14, then the LGBTQ activism following the 1969 Stonewall Riots, followed by the 1973 Roe vs Wade Supreme Court decision; I go to translations earlier in the 20th century, the 1901 ASV...

    Newsom/DeSantis Debate starts

    Not to be argumentative with you Rella, but I wish to add some of my thoughts about 2024. I admit, when November 2024 comes, and it is a crazy Leftist against a Donald Trump, can I stop from pulling the level for Trump??? I at first was convinced that Trump was robbed and cheated out of his...

    Newsom/DeSantis Debate starts

    Having voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020, I have no intention of ever voting for him again. The leftist/Communist-Democrat Party will never put forth a candidate I can support. I have been hoping to see Gov. Ron DeSantis rise to the top, but it seems that is not going to happen. In the past...

    Dating the NT Books

    There are a couple of passages that add a timing to the Mount Olivet discourse as follow. "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." (Matt 24:14 KJV) The apostle Paul tells us when this happened "First...

    Dating the NT Books

    The men writing the NT books did not put dates on them. Some contain enough in the body of text that a date of writing can be confidently accepted. Others have quite large variance in scholar's ideas of the date of writing. If the NT writers did not give a date, then there must be some key...

    Are Doctrines affected by Modern Versions

    Go to Amazon.com and search for: "greek english interlinear new testament" Many will come up for you to review. You can get the very latest one, NA28. You can search for Hebrew - English interlinear or Greek - English Interlinear as well. But, keep in mind that the glosses in the various...

    What is the difference between a Jew and a Christian?

    The Jews are "goats" and the Christians are "sheep": “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep...

    The Kingdom of God vs. The Kingdom of Heaven

    Jesus used the two terms interchangeably, so they are synonymous. "Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to...

    How do we develop the tools for not being taken in by poor philosphy? Also, dangerious Theology?

    Learner, Your question is a good indication you are being dealt with by the Holy Spirit, so probably a regenerate person, or placing yourself in the role of such a person. God has given us teachers: "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and...

    Did God the Father or Jesus create angels

    I believe these are a couple people for whom English is their second language; or, they are the result of our government school systems! It is sad to see such a lack of reading comprehension in such an important area of life.
