    The NT manuscripts are full of mistakes

    Have you considered that the descent of the angel to roll the stone away from the tomb caused great turmoil among the guard at the tomb site. While the Angel descended to roll the stone away from the opening into the tomb, the Temple Guard would have been in great turmoil at the sight of the...

    Proof of Rapture before Tribulation

    I believe that I have answered this already in terms of three and a half ages. I can guess, to satisfy your curiosity, that is around some 3,584 years, give or take a couple, depending on when the time period started and ended. Douggg, it seems to me that you are addressing the other posters...

    The NT manuscripts are full of mistakes

    This is where we diverge in our understanding of the Hebrew. The Root word H:0127, which has the meaning of soil, i.e. a fertile field, is wrongly translated as "Land." The context of this is that if Israel continued in their idolatrous worship, that God would stop Israel from drawing any...

    The NT manuscripts are full of mistakes

    Speaking plainly so that everyone understands, particularly me.

    The NT manuscripts are full of mistakes

    My understanding of the Hebrew text is very different to how this verse has been translated. Stephen before he was stoned stated, without rebuke from those listening to his speech, that Abraham had not been given any part of the "Promised Land" even to rest the soles of his feet upon. I was...

    The NT manuscripts are full of mistakes

    Well, yes that are many contextual errors in the LXX as well. The Promised Land described in Gen 13 and 15 was supposedly a forever covenantal promise, however, when did the possession of the full extent of the described land occur and how many years later was it taken off of Israel such that...

    Pressure cooker stress

    I have highlighted what your problem might be above. Every time I start working towards doing Good, I have taken over from God and He reminds me of this fact. God looks for people who are attentive to his prompting, not those who are off doing their own thing. Perhaps God waking you up at...

    The NT manuscripts are full of mistakes

    Hello, Can I humbly suggest that the "original" NT manuscripts are not full of mistakes but that the translations all present many conceptual context errors in the respective English translations that we use. Wherever possible I go back and look at how the Greek text was translated to see if...

    Proof of Rapture before Tribulation

    Oh dear. Daniel 7:25 is a short time period, nominally accepted as being three and a half years long whereas Daniel 12:7 is a long time period that spans from the time of Daniel at the three and a half age mark, from the time of Adam's creation, until the end of the Age of the Ages, and spans...

    Pressure cooker stress

    Oh Duckie, my prayer for you and yours has not changed in any way and I am still praising God that He has heard my prayer and is even now working to draw you further into His loving Embrace. For five years I have not travelled to visit my fellow brothers in Christ in a country which is dear...

    Please pray for Trump

    I was being "A" political with my post. Better yet, "If people who are called by My name humble themselves and repent of their sins, then I will hear from heaven and will heal their land." I wonder how many "Christians" actually believe God's statement found in 2 Chron 7:12ff.

    What have you cooked lately?

    Cooked up trouble starting with a stone in some water in a saucepan. What was left was rather watery and salty.

    Was Noah's flood global?

    Did God tell Moses to build an ark in which to take on board the animals that God was going to bring to the ark to preserve them. It looks like your proofreading skills are lacking. Don't be concerned, it just makes us a little more human and approachable in that most members have the same...

    Please pray for Trump

    Why just pray for Trump, why not pray for all of our governmental leaders across our respective nations. Better still why are we not praying for their salvation and if saved, their protection from falling?

    Continuing Education

    Hello, There is a lot of unlearning that needs to be undertaken for the Christian Church as a whole, because of our acceptance of the "traditions" that have invaded the church over the last 2,000 or so years. Coming up to the Christmas season is one example where the traditions of the season...

    Bible stories that aren’t actually in the Bible - share yours.

    Our understanding of the story surrounding the Birth of Christ is based on assumptions. The length of time that Joseph, Mary and Christ remained in Bethlehem was just a few days, before they fled down towards Egypt because of Herod's order to kill all of the children in Bethlehem at that time...

    There are 2 tribulation periods, the “first” is to the Jews

    SI, have you not read the scriptures where the prophets were killed because the "people" did not like what the prophet was conveying from God to them. The first prophet that was killed was Abel, because his brother was jealous of God's favour towards him. Another Prophet was Jeremiah. He was...

    Some key points pertaining to the parable per Luke 19:11-27.

    Hello Over the last eight or so hours, there have been around 100 posts posted to this thread which have all missed the mark because of the over Christ centred spiritualisation of this parable. The same can be shown to have happened with the general understanding of the Parable of the Talents...
