    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    How have you missed that 5 out of the 7 churches of the first century, Christ had "somewhat against?" Or that Peter stated matter a factly that "false teachers" would enter into the church spreading "destructive doctrines?" Or Paul's warnings of certainty, that a "lie" would be believed causing...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    You all need to put aside your prejudice and misunderstanding. You are contradicting the reality that Christ sacrificed "once for all." Meaning, in that one moment on the cross in Christ, it was finished...just as He said. So...one may "die daily" or continue to "do what you will not to do"...

    Why is sexual love "eros" missing from the Bible?

    The Hebrew points rather to the word "Qal", meaning "know" or "knew." In other words, lust is not mentioned of Adam and Eve, although temptation was. But when Adam "knew" Eve they didn't just "make out" or cuddle and I am quite sure they "loved" it :Broadly:. Hard to say that with a straight...

    Bar one exception

    You're wrong. I was referring to good and God in my explanation as I did, because I've been there. But, hey, you do you. Fine. That's the point. That is what is meant to be.

    Left calls for assassination of Trump!

    There is a possible scenario that may occur as a false flag event. I can't say much about it, but don't be surprised if you wake up to such an event in the news. Rats coming for the cheese.

    Please Help Me. I Am Trying To Save My Grand-Niece.

    There is only One who "converts." Plant a seed with kindness. Pray to God that He then does His part. Be available in season and out of season thereafter. Keep praying, but do not force the issue. Rest and know that God is good to fulfill in her what He has intended for her. Intercede in...

    Friendly Bible Study - participants must agree to Nicene Creed.

    Acts 2 The first passage of verses 1-4, is the account of what occurred that day in history, as a smaller foreshadowing prophecy of the greater things to come that the smaller, historic account only points to. Which is not to say that first day of Pentecost was not its own fulfillment of Joel's...

    Putin’s Warning To The West

    This is the darkness being darkest just before the dawn. It's not the so-called "great tribulation." That great tribulation all came upon Christ, while our own tribulations are only a part of that greater whole. What is now occurring is a manifestation of God/good working invisibly behind the...

    Using brackets in quotes from the Bible

    In the above example you have done well, as the Lord has referred to "brethren" as opposed to "brothers and sisters" for a reason...and our current political correctness only obscures it. The reason, is the same as lineages in the scriptures being primarily male. Which He has done to...

    Bar one exception

    Seemingly. But it is important to make the right choice, whether good or evil. Only then will you attain what you hope to attain.

    Bar one exception

    The question with the correct answer, is not "how", but "Why did Christianity digress?" The reason, is: It was and is intentional. So that every generation would have an equal opportunity to gaze into the heavens, into a lover's eyes, or the face of a child, and know there is a God--and choose...

    Bar one exception

    That is a reasonable position under assumed circumstances, but it does not fit the actual circumstances. The world is not a place of fairness, or rights, or everyone having and equal say. It is rather the manifestation of everything everyone ever believed. That is why you are having the...

    Rejecting God on the basis of evil and suffering

    Yes, and those two possibilities God has specifically identified, saying through Moses, "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...

    What is the mystery that Paul references in 1 Corinthians 15:51-52? Is it the rapture (catching up to Christ) as pretrib teaches or something else?

    The context of 1 Corinthians 15:50-53 is stated first in verse 50, as "flesh and blood", and then the greater scope of the context is stated in verse 51 as "all." In other words, regarding the concerns of people born of flesh and blood, all will be changed at the last trump. Meaning the word is...

    The “Return” of Christ: What Does it Mean?

    That assumes there is one story to the structure. To the contrary, what is above is greater and to be attained, leaving that which is lower swallowed up in the actual glory of God which is above. "Follow" means to ascend as He ascended, not here, but actually unto what is now unseen and yet...

    SIGNPOSTS OF OUR LORD’S RETURN

    The sign was, His knocking at the door (Revelation 3:20).

    The “Return” of Christ: What Does it Mean?

    You are not reconciling all scripture. The context is Paul in the midst of times speaking to those who did not yet understand that all things occurred (past tense) in Christ, who may never in their lifetime come to understand it...just as it has been since then even for those who could have...

    The “Return” of Christ: What Does it Mean?

    Yes, I have. However, the issue is one of translation and understanding spiritually. As such, each of those tells of the events that occur once in Christ, for all. Meaning at that very moment in Christ, only experience by all who are in Him in their own time, which are the times of men...

    The “Return” of Christ: What Does it Mean?

    If I understand you correctly, yes. Paul referred to the times between spiritually receiving Christ (at His knocking, thus return) and the end, as "we who are alive and remain." Meaning, unlike Israel who died in their sins but were included in Christ (as the dead in Christ), we who are made...
