    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Some Scriptures referencing the Pre-incarnate Christ Joh 8:58 Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." Joh 17:5 And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world existed. Col 1:15-17 The Son is the image of the...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Have a go . . . Jesus Christ is God incarnate. Php 2:5-8 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, (6) who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, (7) but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Ah Hullo, Let the Prophets speak: Isa 53:1-12 Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? (2) He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no stately form or majesty to attract us, no beauty that we should desire...

    Is the Antichrist all that unique?

    God lets us know stuff that will happen beyond our lifetime. He told Abraham things like that. The empire of the ultimate endtimes Antichrist has been on the rise since Satan tempted Eve, and Cain killed Abel. In the history of God's People we see Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece...

    Is the Antichrist all that unique?

    95AD John is given an Apocalypse, most of which looks forward from his lifetime. Rev 13:11-18 Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. This beast had two horns like a lamb, but spoke like a dragon. (12) And this beast exercised all the authority of the first beast and caused the...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    I'm looking forward to feeding on fruit from the Tree of Life Rev 2:7 He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the ekklesias. To him who overcomes I will give of the fruit of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.

    Genesis as allegory? - History versus allegory

    Yes, massive chipping machines and excavators have been at work. Tighter regulations around forestry work are expected. Progress is slow but locals work together to restore the environment.

    Trouble with self-esteem?

    I believe the Bible teaches that everything, whether physical/material, mental/intellectual, emotional/sentimental, or social/relational, influences and is influenced by spiritual activity and awareness. Php 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with...

    Introducing Terral And The Three Witnesses Of Scripture

    So why are you still an atheist?

    Introducing Terral And The Three Witnesses Of Scripture

    Ephesians is pure gold for doctrine. The doctrine Paul was teaching got him arrested and imprisoned because the unbelieving Jews didn't understand it. It was a mystery to them. It was concealed from them because they worshipped the Law of Moses rather than God from whom the Law came, as a...

    Genesis as allegory? - History versus allegory

    Yes. It's an ongoing issue in areas where there is forestry. When the stands are felled the hills are littered with what is called "slash", which is the stuff left behind having no commercial value. Last year there were two major weather events that brought a lot of slash down from the hills...

    Genesis as allegory? - History versus allegory

    Yes, an engrossing pastime. Wood has certain characteristics that make it valuable. Density obviously.

    Genesis as allegory? - History versus allegory

    Wood is measurable, and pleasurable if handled wisely.

    Genesis as allegory? - History versus allegory

    Don't forget it was a virgin birth and a manger in a stable, a ride on a donkey's foal, a crown of thorns, and a wooden cross that our sinless Saviour used to achieve His Mission.
