Well the LXX never used the word “this” <3778> to mean the generation that was contemporary to the author, the word “that” <1565> was used. For example Exodus 1:6 (LXX) And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that <1565> generation. Judges 2:10 (LXX) And also all that <1565> generation...

Yes, I agree no matter how we interpret “this generation” it was present when Jesus spoke those words. It’s my understanding that the LXX Old Testament always used the word “that” <1565>, the same “that” in Luke 20:35, to indicate a different generation than the one contemporary to the author...

Why did the apostle Matthew use the words “this generation” instead of the words “that generation” in Matthew 24:34? This generation implies people that are present or in front of you while that generation would imply people that are not present or in front of you. Luke 20:35 But they which...

Sir, how do you know what’s happening in apostate churches? Are you attending them? What and where do you find your source of information teachings a bible truth, for that's nowhere to be found as God's testimony of those days, nowhere~who gave you the right to use extra biblical information to...

I’m not sure what you’re driving at, currently both the Olivet Discourse and the book of Daniel are highly contested. Certainly those believers who fled Jerusalem in the first century read and understood else they would not have fled, and an argument could be made that in the future the reader’s...

One thing that you could ask about is that both Matthew and Mark have the statement “let him that readeth understand” which is said just after a reference to the book of Daniel. The question is did the book of Daniel get unsealed by this statement, meaning people who read Daniel will understand...

Revelation 20:8 says the nations are in the four corners of the earth. I just proved the earth is flat, and if you don’t believe the earth is flat then it’s obvious you don't believe in the Bible. This is the same kind of logic you are using which is not based on reality or the physical world...

No I don’t don’t get the picture, if this was true it would show up in DNA testing. The same issue occurs for people claiming aliens from outer space have had sexual relations, DNA tests show only one origin not two or more. I don’t know where you’re coming up with these ideas but you need to...

I’m not sure I’m following you here, currently false preachers and unbelievers can understand any hidden acrostic by simply doing a search on the internet. Almost all known views can be seen somewhere on the internet and certainly all views expressed on forums such as this one can be read by...

From what I understand the hidden acrostic comes from antiquity. Are you suggesting that Sheshach meaning Babel was only revealed after the cross, and this is why the name Mystery Babylon is used in Revelation 17:5? If so can you provide the source you’re using that shows when this cypherform...

Well whether it’s part of the actual name or not is debatable but we do know this, that John wondered in Revelation 17:6 and the angel then declared the mystery in the following verses. This supports the idea that this mystery was not something that was previously known.

It’s easy to simply say scripture shouldn’t be interpreted with the writings of someone like Josephus but that type of argument is flawed, you yourself have to use the words and actions of unbelievers to determine when scripture is being fulfilled; as I stated earlier, all of us, from the full...

I see some people on this thread saying Babylon means confusion and this comes from the tower of Bable. That’s all well and good but the woman in Revelation 17:5 doesn’t just have the word Babylon on her forehead, it’s Mystery Babylon. The word mystery means something that was hidden in the Old...

I’m not sure why they wouldn’t want to admit Jesus came in the flesh, it’s interesting that you haven’t gotten a reply yet.

But you are then looking at the actions of unbelievers and using their actions to determine when scripture is being fulfilled. How is this using the Bible alone? And what would be the difference of using someone such as Josephus verses say information derived from an unbelieving church about how...

I agree in part here, I agree that when it comes to things such as salvation, free will vs election, baptism, and so on, these things are not subject to opinions outside of scripture. It doesn’t matter what any particular denomination or scholar says, the Bible itself is the absolute authority...

In John 5:39 Jesus says the scriptures testify of Me, and in Matthew 11:2-5 John the Baptist sent his disciples to ask Jesus if he was the one or if they should look for another. Jesus then tells John’s disciples to show John the things they hear and see. Ok, the thing John’s disciples heard...

Well, a person could simply argue that Revelation was written prior to 70AD and represented the church in 95AD as figurative symbolism. Really it either was or wasn’t meant for those specific 7 churches it was addressed to. Let’s take for example Revelation 3:3, the church at Sardis is warned...

Wow, seriously, no more debating? What makes sense is when Jesus died all the righteous blood shed was placed on Jerusalem and they became the scapegoat that was sent into the wilderness.

David was guilty of killing Uriah the Hittite according in 2 Samuel 12:9. Is David guilty of all the righteous blood shed? No. This shows your statement is not completely accurate.
