    Perceptual Reality and Spiritual Understanding

    If we see as the world sees, we will then trust in the world. Yet, just as what is written in the scriptures is as much as foolishness to the natural and worldly person, all things come as if in a foreign tongue or perhaps crazy as if all are drunk on new wine. These things are written. On the...

    Is the kingdom of God within me, too?

    Jesus elaborated in the book of Revelation, and said, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me" (Rev 3:20). In other words, the "door" (Jesus) is within any and all who would believe and hope to...

    Romans 11:25 - Partially blinded

    God, by the creation of Time and this world, has divided His eternity into the lives of many generations, that all who are His would be saved from His condemnation of sins. Partial blindness simply (and brilliantly) allows each generation equal opportunity regarding the choice between life and...

    ABORTION is a Parable (for Our Time)

    "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live" (Deuteronomy 30:19). The word "descendants" in the above passage is defined in the original language, as...

    A few shall be left

    Unfortunately, false teachers already at work during the early church developed the now commonly believed, but false doctrine, of kicking the timeline can down the road to an unknown time in the future; which they did against the clear indication given by Jesus that things would actually occur...

    The THREE DAYS of Christ.

    Great study! The explanation of which points to the overall plan of God for humanity and salvation. Both the creation account of seven days and the three days of Jonah and Jesus' experiences are then parables confirming the greater revelation given to and by Daniel. Each confirms the other...

    Why do you write?

    Welcome Jasmine! I should think, as it is obvious, that many are only self-compelled to write. Which is fine, depending on the subject. Unfortunately that approach does not mix well with spiritual matters, leaving many to write as if inspired by God to speak for Him, as if sent. The byproduct...

    What more is needed for Christ to come?

    Strong delusion has stood in the way of many seeing Christ return now for millennia. Many have not taken to heart that Jesus said He stands (present tense) at the door and knock and whoever opens the door He will come to, into. Paul elaborated if not elude to this, saying He would come, "but...

    The THREE DAYS of Christ.

    The point is...not to consider the three days as the topic, but rather as a sign of the actual topic which they point to and otherwise only demonstrate in an elementary way, like an emoticon--which is a stumbling block to divert the wicked. The greater three-day topic refers rather to the...

    The THREE DAYS of Christ.

    Perhaps you are not understanding. A "day" is made up of "night" and "day", or "darkness" and "light", or is even stated as "the evening" and "the morning." Therefore, if one is considering the saving acts of Messiah, they are performed in the days of "darkness", but are recording in heaven as...

    Amigo's Question and Answer Thread

    Tongues, sorry. :wink: The seven days the pattern after the days of creation, were divided in Daniel's prophecy which referred to both the three and the seven in "a time, times, and half a time." Daniel's prophecy referred to the seven times as "weeks" (times 10, as referring to: "all" of...

    Amigo's Question and Answer Thread

    Jesus descended into the depths of this fallen world for three days-- which are the three days of which He said, "on the third day I shall be perfected." Thus, His three days in the tomb was a revelation and parable of the greater overall times of this world, which are the three days otherwise...

    Amigo's Question and Answer Thread

    Again, while I concur with most of that, there has been error of delusion in the mix during this same age of grace. That strong delusion came about for unbelief "already at work" since the beginning of the church. Because that wicked generation did not believe what Jesus actually said regarding...

    Amigo's Question and Answer Thread

    While I concur with most of that, the choice of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was made for all of humanity back in the garden. That part is done. From that beginning God has set before all life and death, blessing and cursing, telling us that unless we also take and eat of the tree...

    Amigo's Question and Answer Thread

    There is more going on than meets the eye. But the fight has always been between good and evil. Love as common ground is just a toe in the door, first things first-- If we can agree on love, then perhaps we can stand together against the common enemy of evil. Then, perhaps we can work on the...

    Rapture is false doctrine.

    Stream, It appears that English is not your first language. Therefore I will try to keep things simple. You are correct about the popular rapture belief. People are not going to fly away into the sky, as many believe. What does and will happen, is a person's soul is spiritually caught up into...

    Amigo's Question and Answer Thread

    Indeed, Jesus specifically said He would build His church upon the rock of things coming from the Father in spirit. Which is to say, His church is a spiritual temple and body, not of the stones or flesh and blood portrayed by the house of Israel: "The spiritual is not first, but the natural...
