    Christ the Centre of the Bible.

    CHRIST THE CENTRE OF THE BIBLE. To have a correct view of God`s word, I believe, brings clarity to the study of the Eschatology & the Prophetic aspects. Now when we read God`s word we often focus on what it meant to those when it was written, & what life lesson it can give us. While these...

    Daniel`s 70 Weeks.

    Hi Wormwood, I agree with a lot of what you say. However for you to understand what I mean concerning Christ as centre of the Bible I think I may have to start a new thread. Hope to see you there for encouragement & input. Blessings, Marilyn.

    Daniel`s 70 Weeks.

    Hi Phoneman777, I think that was the last discussion we had so will pick up from there. You asked about any other basis.... 1. King Artaxeres - `And it came about in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of king Artaxeres....` (Neh. 2: 1) 2. Palm Sunday - ` Then, six days before the...

    Daniel`s 70 Weeks.

    Hi Wormwood, Thank you for being patient for my reply. Now this is what I believe & said – `I don`t think you quite understand when I say `Christ is the centre of God`s word.` I don`t just mean it is telling of His manifestation or a letter to early Christians, those are still in the historic...

    HEAVEN

    Hi StanJ, That would make a good discussion, but I wont derail this thread. When I have time I will follow that thought up bro, on its own thread. Marilyn.

    HEAVEN

    Hi Administrator, What a wonderful topic. My view of heaven is as you say `sitting & learning at Jesus` feet.` Then I also see functioning as His Body, community of people taking part in what God has planned in His ever unfolding creativity in the ages upon ages that will come. Utterly awesome...

    Daniel`s 70 Weeks.

    Hi Phoneman777, I am not here to discuss historic or contemporary positions - Jesuit errors, Jehovah`s Witnesses, etc but to discuss scripture. If you want to do that then I am here. God bless, Marilyn.

    Daniel`s 70 Weeks.

    Hi Wormwood, Glad we have some agreement. Now you said - I don`t think you quite understand when I say `Christ is the centre of God`s word.` I don`t just mean it is telling of His manifestation or a letter to early Christians, those are still in the historic context, (which is important)...

    Daniel`s 70 Weeks.

    Hi Phoneman777, Sorry if it seemed condescending but my heart was to say the reality. If any of the past positions were the full truth then by now we would have been led into the whole counsel of God as the early Christians knew. As we well know & the Apostle Paul warned his disciples, that...

    Daniel`s 70 Weeks.

    Hi Phoneman777, The days of one position countering the other are over brother, for it is time to get out God`s word & actually discuss scripture NOT POSITIONS. I have many more topics to share so you may want to discuss scripture & not retreat behind a certain position thinking you have all...

    Daniel`s 70 Weeks.

    Hi Wormwood, I so agree with you bro. It is one of the biggest errors today - all about me...... However what I am also saying is that after we have seen the passage in its setting & sometimes there are lessons for us, then we are to view it in the whole context of God`s word in relation to...

    Daniel`s 70 Weeks.

    Hi Wormwood, Just like to comment on what you said. Now we know from God`s word that God spoke to individuals, groups, nations, etc at various times & for the future. What God is saying to these different ones/groups are not just words just related to the audience, nor are these words related...

    Countering Jehovah's Witnesses

    Hi Webers_home, Pleased to meet you. I have appreciated what I have read. Thank you. I am on holidays is sunny Queensland & while walking along board walk I met these people with religious material. I knew they were JW`s & had a chat. I zeroed in on asking them questions & especially...

    Daniel`s 70 Weeks.

    Hi Kevin, Nice to know your name, & thanks for sharing. You must not remember that I said I agreed that the Lord was king before His manifestation & Prince (commander) so no problem there. As to `Michael,` well there is never a sign of Deity when we read about him in God`s word. Now interesting...

    Daniel`s 70 Weeks.

    Hi Phoneman, Nice that you are interested in my thoughts re Jesus` birth etc, however for now I`m just looking at what God`s word says regarding the 70 weeks. We know that to measure something accurately we need to have a starting point. If we don`t then it is just an approximation or...

    Daniel`s 70 Weeks.

    Hi Marcus, Just want to say I have appreciated your comments & agree with you. God`s word is so clear & it is good to read what the Lord has shown you. May we all continue to listen to His Holy Spirit as He clarifies more truth to us, - the Body of Christ. Blessings, Marilyn.

    Daniel`s 70 Weeks.

    for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place.” (Daniel 9:24, ESV) Seventy weeks we decreed to bring an end to sin and atone for iniquity, not to bring an end to the world. Sin was defeated and atonement was provided at...
