    ‘I SAID, YOU ARE GODS’?

    I agree with this, Christians would rather talk at a person rather than with the person. In a teaching session we were asked to consider the parable of the Sower and how that would apply to evangelism. I suggested that we need to consider which example in the parable was applicable to the...

    Is anyone else a Seer?

    Sadly, many who believe that they are a Seer/prophet of God, often hurt many of the people of God because they use their gifting wrongly and bring words that do not edify the people concerned, believing that the words that they are giving are coming from God, but the reality is that they have...

    Happy Father's Day

    Yesterday was Father's Day in the USA, and many other countries also celebrate Father's Day of the third Sunday of June, but in other countries of the world, Father's Day occurs on other Sundays/days of the year. Father's Day - Wikipedia. It is good to honour fathers and mothers on the...

    Euphrates drying up, what will happen? However the order of the bowl judgements seems not to fit in our understanding

    Hello The bowl judgements are best understood if we consider that John was walking from the distant future backwards through time to wards this present time. In fact, looking at what is prophesied in the seventh bowl judgement, I can confidently place this prophecy as predominately taking...

    Was Jesus Orthodox? (or Baptist?)

    From my perspective, the hallmark of a Baptist church is the control that is exercised by the head honcho. I thought that to be a leader of a church that a person had to be a humble servant. I am not so sure that that is what is happening in many churches at all and that the word of the head...

    How does Theology impact our daily life?

    You are partially right in that it is our daily experience of God that matters; however, a half hour daily experience of God does not count if for the other 23.5 hours you are not experiencing God within your life. In Genesis 12:3 we have the "general translation bias" of this verse. The NKJV...

    The happy thread

    ^^ You need a Queen and a drone for an ant nest to survive but more importantly you also need lots of workers who forage for food and tend the laid eggs and in general look after the nest colony of that particular ant queen. It should be remembered that many ant colonies have their own...

    Remembering the first commandment of God

    I thought that the first commandment was given chronologically in Genesis 1:28: - 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on...

    Anyone here LOVE to garden?

    Does VB stand for Victorian Bitter? I thought that that language required a slur when spoken or was sloppy when written.

    The happy thread

    The salesman was overselling a couch to me and claimed that the couch could accommodate five people without any problems. I sat their contemplating his claim and decided against buying the couch as I realised that I did not know five people without any problems.

    False Doctrine of the "Secret Rapture".

    Douggg, you have provided the only verse in the scriptures that referenced the third heaven. Paul wrote this from his understanding obtained from his training. It is a man-made construct to make sense of what and where heaven is within the Jewish culture. You have not proved or been able to...

    False Doctrine of the "Secret Rapture".

    You have demonstrated false doctrine in your post about the heavens and the number of them. Scriptural references that you have provided do not support your commentary. It is only your opinion that supports what you have posted. Goodbye

    Death of satan

    Payday for Satan and all of the unrighteous of mankind is still over 1,000 years plus from now. It is only then that Satan will learn that his scoffing at God's directive to Adam that If Adam sinned and ate from the tree of knowledge that he would die the second death in the distant future...

    False Doctrine of the "Secret Rapture".

    Sadly Douggg, that is just your imagined understanding. If you had provided scriptural evidence, then to back up your claim then you would have been believable, but you have not. When the 72 returned to report to Jesus their experiences while ministering in the villages and town where Jesus...

    False Doctrine of the "Secret Rapture".

    What do you think?

    False Doctrine of the "Secret Rapture".

    This is the verse you are referring to: - Job 1:6 - 6 One day the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satana also came with them. Nowhere in this verse, does it talk about Satan being specifically summoned to appear before God, with the other sons of God. In the...

    What got you interested in eschatology and what was your learning process?

    My starting epiphany was that a "thousand" was just the corruption of "those hands," when said. It is possible to count to 1,024 on the ten digits on our two hands with good dexterity. If we then consider where we place our two hands, it is possible to count to 16,384. This got me thinking...

    LOCUSTS From The Book of JOEL

    Douggg, give it a rest, the Angel that fell to earth in Rev 9 was sent by God to unlock the Bottomless pit. Rev 9 tells us that the destroyer, Satan was locked up in the Pit. Please understand, Douggg, that the prophecies in the Book of Revelation are not presented to us in linear way but in...

    LOCUSTS From The Book of JOEL

    Yes, and John described planes as being like foul frogs, but people still have not "discovered" the link between the Sixth Bowl judgement and the 9/11/01 event. You are grasping at straws to try and prove your theories. At this present time, it is difficult for us to understand what John was...

    LOCUSTS From The Book of JOEL

    As usual you jump to the conclusions that the translators have presented you with, without any further research on your part. My understanding of the meaning of G2759 is: - G:2759 κέντρον kentron (ken'-tron); from kenteo (to prick); a point ("centre"), i.e. a sting (figuratively, poison) or...
