    Our Hope for the Future

    That is okay QT. Many denominations hold to the view that you have presented, however John's embedded commentary is silent on what John was referring to when he wrote the following. John 2:21-22: - 21 But He was speaking of the temple of His body. 22Therefore, when He had risen from the dead...

    Nisan 17 (Sunday) At That Time Yeshua/Jesus Rose From The Dead

    Gerhard, I was accommodation your rebuttal without bad mouthing you. Yet, because I know how you react, I thought that it was better to simply say that we should agree to disagree so that we do not get into a mudslinging match. But I was wrong, and you have tried to start one. So go for it...

    Our Hope for the Future

    Yes Dougggg, the word "Israel" is found 12 times in Ezekile 39. Below is Ezekiel 39 witht the word "Israel" highlighted for your benefit to find all 12 occurrences of the word "Israel." Ezekiel 39:1-29: - 39:1 "And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, 'Thus says the Lord God...

    Our Hope for the Future

    QT No He was speaking of the temple that would be assembled after the final judgement when all of the saints assemble together with Christ to worship God. John 2: - 19 Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” The confirmation sign that...

    Our Hope for the Future

    This is how Ezekiel 39:25-29 reads for me: - Ezekiel 39:25-29: - 25 "Therefore thus says the Lord God: 'Now I will bring back the captives of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for My holy name — 26 after they have borne their shame, and all their...

    Our Hope for the Future

    Jesus' words here are still a distant future event. Jesus was indicating that He would rebuild the temple after the Final judgement's completion.

    Source or Resource? - Understanding the difference

    God gives people giftings. Biblically Satan gave his faithful servants talents, i.e. large sums of money, based on their ability to trade and turn profits with the talents they were given, so as to impede the establishment of God's everlasting Kingdom while he is imprisoned in the bottomless...

    A Common Sense Use of Bible Commentaries

    The best common sense use of many bible commentaries is to let them gather dust. Yes, they can provide real gems of what people thought and believed when they were written, but so often they were trying to answer questions that were too difficult to understand at the time of their writing. I...

    Daniel Chapter 8 - the 2300 evenings and mornings prophecy

    So, what is the relevance of your rebuttal of what I had posted. My reaction is that what you had posted was irrelevant to the thread's topic.

    Nisan 17 (Sunday) At That Time Yeshua/Jesus Rose From The Dead

    I have no problems with your rejection of what I have posted. However, from my reading I have reached the conclusion that "Seismos" should have been translated as "turmoil" in every case where G:4578 is found in the New Testament. I tried to follow your link, but I was denied access and as...

    Nisan 17 (Sunday) At That Time Yeshua/Jesus Rose From The Dead

    Gerhard, I think that you have not followed my train of thought at all. This is how I believe Matt 27:50-54 should be understood. Matthew 28:50-54: - 50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up His spirit. 51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to...

    For KJV folks, a heads up

    Hello, Why is it that people who hold to one particular translation try and poke holes in other translations. They all have "holes" and discrepancies within their respective translations. All the translation which we have today, i.e., the English translation, are still the best means that we...

    Daniel Chapter 8 - the 2300 evenings and mornings prophecy

    Hello If the Little Horn is the fallen beastly angel that is being given earthly armies to trample God's Sancturary and God's earthly hosts then we should consider the following words from Daniel 8: - Daniel 8:13-23: - 13 Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that...

    What does the hell doctrine say about the character of God?

    No, it is Biblical. Ez 18 teaches us that there are two choices. While we are still able to draw breath, we can choose to keep God's statutes and Laws and worship Him and be in line for Eternal Life at the time of the final judgement, or we can reject God and His Statutes and laws and be a...

    Premarital sex, resulted in a life handed over to the cruel one (Proverbs 5:9) - now I can't escape? (help?)

    @Gottservant You are not the first "Christian" who has had sex before marriage. The pre-marital sex was a sign that you had already turned away from God. I know because I have seen the same signs of having turned away from God. If you will humble yourself and confess your sin of turning away...

    The happy thread

    There is a store chain that has a sign attached to the ceiling which read which reads, "Please pay here." but provide no step ladders to reach the sign so that people can pay "here". Sadly, the store did not have any staff at the sign to take payment from me. I also thought that I should get a...

    POSTRIB RAPTURE. A BIBLE ONLY VIEW

    Yes, I am presently spending eight weeks in Nepal which is considered a poor country, and the people are much happier than what I observe in Australia. Australia presently is experiencing God's wrath because of what Australia started doing as a nation back in 2003. Jeremiah 51:14: - The Lord...

    POSTRIB RAPTURE. A BIBLE ONLY VIEW

    A false claim about "civilized countries being prosperous. Our prosperity is being rapidly consumed at the moment. Another one of your misquoting scriptures to have it say what you want. The heading in the NKJV for Isa 62 is Assurance of Zion's Salvation The passage Isaiah 62:1-5 has no...

    POSTRIB RAPTURE. A BIBLE ONLY VIEW

    As usual, your inability to understand the context of what is written is showing. What this passage, Ps 37:27-29 is telling us is this: - 27 Turn away from evil and do good, so that you will abide forever. 28 For the LORD loves justice and will not forsake His saints. They are preserved...

    POSTRIB RAPTURE. A BIBLE ONLY VIEW

    Hello, This is how I perceive the paraphrasing of Ezekiel 34:11-16 should read: - 11 'For thus says the Lord God: "Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. 12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out My sheep and...
