I am sure you will survive! <giggle >

How silly! The pilgrims were from the lost tribe is Israel??? And which tribe would that be. <giggle>

Talking about Satan, accuser of the brethren !! How are you any different??

Repentance and belief is necessary for salvation, but the Bible never says baptism is necessary for salvation, any more that it was necessary for the thief on the cross.

The entire pre-trib nonsense is theory held by those who have never read the Bible. The Bible teaches a mid-trib rapture occurring just before the 7th seal is opened Rev 7:9-14. The Marriage Supper does not take place until after the Second Coming when the dead are raised and those who remain...

Enoch>2. Sinners are converted and baptized immediately. That is not how the very early church operated, nor is it Scriptural. There is no NT edict requiring immediate baptism! From the very Early Church Fathers, the practices of the early church. Since they had no Bibles to study, they made...

Unfortunately, I am ultrafamiliar with the Toronto Blessing, and it's successor, Catch the Fire. :-( I was somewhat intrigued by your comments on the "Author of Hebrews". I don't know much about FF Bruce, but as is often the case when one reads someone's commentary instead of the source, they...

The 5th seal is even worse. It is the martyrdom the saints. But in all fairness, I actually look forward to the Great Tribulation. It will be a fascinating time for believers. I would hate to miss it!

Again you have rejected the plain teaching of Scripture which says the opposite to what you are saying, because there will be no saints here after the rapture For those left behind. Scripture declares: "They did not repent of their murders nor of their sorceries nor of their immorality nor of...

Nothing for believers to prepare for, since they all get taken upstairs before the 7 seal is even opened,

You have twisted Scripture entirely out of context! The Bible here is talking about two alternatives: eternal life or eternal damnation. This passage has nothing whatsoever to with the rapture! "For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,"...

Jesus does not return for the saints who are alive during the Tribulation. All we know is that they are all suddenly appear in Heaven. That's what the rapture is all about. Revelation declares that the church will be here during the first six seals of Rev 6. After the sixth seal, the...

Is it really division, or perhaps purification?

"for we walk by faith, not by sight" 2 Corinthians 5:7

Perhaps, but you are not using a measuring rod, you are using a micrometer! Isn't that going a bit far? The subject of this thread is totally insignificant meaningless to me. It doesn't change my beliefs.

There is one area where God restricted Satan. He was not allowed to harm Job's wife. Maybe that would have been Job's breaking point.

Enoch, My take on this is that it is a twofold prophecy, the first of course being the 69 sevens which were brought to a halt when the Anointed One was cut off, with the final 7 taking place at the end of the age. A second aspect of this prophecy. The 7s, heptads, mentioned in the prophecy...

Walvoord was quoting these scholars to show how confused they were, and that their ideas failed.

Helen, that reminds me of when I got dumped on the streets by my biological father, I remember reading a passage in the Psalms where God says 'I will be a father to the fatherless'. I claimed that promise! I have a new Father who has been with me ever since.

Willie, you are not at all alone in your difficulties. Life is tough. After being kicked out of my home to celebrate my 16th birthday, I was left to fend for myself all alone on the streets of Toronto as a 'street kid'. Somehow, in the limitations of that social setting, I found a church, and...
