    Our Lord's Great Prophecy, Part 77

    Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 40 and 41 “Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken and the other left." Whither Gathered--the Attraction Here is where we jump back to that earlier verse we skipped in our...

    Our Lord's Great Prophecy, Part 76

    Matthew Chapter 24 Continuing the previous post on the things due during the day of the revelation of our Lord's presence, Jesus says: "I tell you in that night (before the day has dawned yet a part of that day) there will be two in a bed; one will be taken and the other left.” (Luke 17:34...

    Our Lord's Great Prophecy, Part 75

    Matthew Chapter 24 Luke 17:31-33 continued, “In that day (the day when the Son of Man is revealed), he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. Remember Lot’s wife...

    Our Lord's Great Prophecy, Part 74

    Matthew Chapter 24 We return to Luke’s account once again. Luke 17:26 “And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.” Compare the “days” (plural) that Noah was present with the “day” (singular) that the Flood came and fire and brimstone. During the days...

    Our Lord's Great Prophecy, Part 73

    Matthew Chapter 24 “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the presence [Greek parousia] of the Son of Man be.” (Matt 24:37) Here Jesus’ “presence” (parousia) is compared to Noah’s 120-year presence prior to the Flood. Of course Noah lived for more than 120 years prior to the flood, 600...

    Our Lord's Great Prophecy, Part 72

    Matthew Chapter 24 Continued from previous post. And as it was in the days of Noah so… likewise also in the days of Lot, they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and...

    Our Lord's Great Prophecy, Part 71

    Matthew Chapter 24 As in the Days of Noah, "They Knew Not" VERSE 37-39 KJV “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the presence [Greek parousia] of the Son of Man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the...

    Our Lord's Great Prophecy, Part 70

    Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 35 and 36 “Heaven and earth [the present ecclesiastical and social order] will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away. But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.” Compare this with the words of Mark (13:32, 33)...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Bible Students. And as for Emphatic Diaglott by Benjamin Wilson this is not a JW publication. Wilson was not a JW and just because the Watch Tower (not the original one headed by Pastor Russell, but the one taken over by Judge Rutherford following the Pastors death) acquired the rights to the...

    The Survivors of Armageddon, Part 30

    JESUS ALONE THE RANSOMER It would not be correct to say that the scapegoat class atones for sin and thus make it possible for a certain part of humanity to be brought forth from the tomb. The tomb represents the penalty upon Adam for his transgression, and this penalty has been inherited by all...

    The Survivors of Armageddon, Part 29

    Account Paid in Full In our previous post we alluded to the fact that the Great Company will play a pivotal role in God’s plan, that it is his purpose to use them to compensate for the willful sins of humanity, sins committed against evident light. “Divine Justice must be fully satisfied...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    “Being in the form of God” or “being in the nature (of) God” does not imply that our Lord was divine, but rather that he was in same nature, a glorious spirit being as God, so too the angels. "God is spirit (that is he is a spirit being; invisible, mighty, powerful, and influential); and those...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    You are entitled to your opinions, to agree or to disagree as you like however this does not imply that you are correct in your assumptions. I too am not a Trinitarian and likewise absolutely affirm the divinity of Christ. Nor does it bother me to be labelled Arian that is with the assumption...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    I was not being dishonest you asked which translation I was using; I assumed you meant what translation I use generally, which is the NKJV. My mistake was that this was not what you were asking, you wanted to know what translation I was quoting from when I quoted John 1:1 which was Benjamin...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    I use the NKJV, although I do consult several other versions when engaged in serious bible study. No, in my post I was merely quoting Benjamin Wilson’s Emphatic Diaglott. This issue comes up all the time, neither we Bible Students nor the JW’s deny the divinity of Christ. We affirm that the...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Is this true; is it an established fact that a capital “G” is used when referring to the true God and a small “g” when referring to false gods? Let’s look at a few scriptures and see what they have to say on the issue. “For even if there are so-called gods (Greek: theos, mighty ones), whether...

    The Seven Spirits of God

    Although we too believe "the Seven Spirits" represent the holy spirit, we do not share the Trinity based opinion that the holy spirit is a person. See, How to study the book of Revelation, Part 35 See, The Holy Spirit
