    The Prophetic Timeline: Why Jesuit Futurists/Jesuit Preterists Ignore It

    That is the biblical method. If my speaking in parable fashion for easy understanding, and also giving specific references to scripture regarding these current times, bothers you--it is you who has a problem. However, if you yourself are open to suggestion... Perhaps you will hear according...

    Time frames we have to work with

    Your badmouthing remarks do not change the fact that us being a living timeline is a world-only perspective. Which, yes, I am happy to leave to guys like you. But then again, seeing you go down that toilet prompts me to throw you a lifeline of Godly perspective and truth, even if it is not...

    The Prophetic Timeline: Why Jesuit Futurists/Jesuit Preterists Ignore It

    You're missing the point. Although true, such things are the "Hey, look over here!" come-ons among the outfield weeds. They were the mechanism restraining all truth until the time of the end. That horse doesn't finish the race. The foretold "finish" is the "time no longer" translation of the...

    Spiritual gifts: Unconfusing them

    Good! That is a good approach. However, the greatest priority should not be given to the local or historic, first context. We should know by all that is written, that much of the aforementioned accounts were actually to point to the greater context of Christ and God. An example would be the...

    The Prophetic Timeline: Why Jesuit Futurists/Jesuit Preterists Ignore It

    I was suggesting rising above the rush hour traffic. Having ones eyes open while seeing through a glass dimly, is not without insight along the way. But we are far from being "along the way." The hour is late, and therefore doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result--well...

    Time frames we have to work with

    Ugh...such is the glass dimly. Such a perspective is worldly, a most difficult one to navigate--not because it can't be done, but because there is only One who has done it. All other attempts end in failure...just as it is written. Thus, it is better to consider these matters in the [only] way...

    The Prophetic Timeline: Why Jesuit Futurists/Jesuit Preterists Ignore It

    Focusing upon the events of this world does not bring the eternal events of God into focus.

    What if I don’t want eternal life?

    You don't understand -- therefore, you do not want what is best. Contrary to popular belief, eternity is not "endless days." It's no days at all, meaning nothing to be weary of (as it may be with time). Properly defined, eternity is "I am"--not "I'm tired and have had enough." Obviously, you...

    Time frames we have to work with

    True enough, but have you actually understood. Satan being cast down was the beginning of the seven, while the sounding of the seventh angel is the end of the seven, the commencement of "time no longer."

    Time frames we have to work with

    Yes, but perhaps not in the way that is often understood. There is but One kingdom, and the transition (except for "those who are alive and remain" in the world until the end) is the end of this old world. That is the time spoken of as the sounding of the seventh angel. Just prior to that "time...

    Yes, and I have told you how.

    The Day the Politics Died

    In addition to what regular news reports, there are two scenarios coming out from underground sources: 1. The Trump in the news is not the actual Donald J. Trump, put into place by the evil forces that have been profiting from wars and fleecing the American people since shortly after its...

    Time frames we have to work with

    Time and timelines present only a "dim" or limited perspective from this world into the unknown. That is entirely the wrong approach. It is all a smokescreen to obscure every generation until the last. This is that last generation--but if you simply do what you have always done, you will only...

    "NOW" is not the word.

    There is indeed both heaven and earth to consider. However, seeking first the kingdom of God would rightfully make these present worldly times, last priority. The other issue with the "now" perspective, is the fact that it aligns more with eastern religion.

    Did Jesus fast for 40 days without water?

    Perhaps you're missing the point. "Forty days" is a theme throughout scripture, ultimately referred to as a lifetime. In that greater context...each of those passages means much more than what the minds of the thirsty are inclined to consider. In the case of Moses, the message is that his...

    Why are some interpreters not being honest with the text involving Daniel 9:27?

    This is logical...you're close. This is not logical...and the stumbling block of error. Yep, that's the error, again.

    Why are some interpreters not being honest with the text involving Daniel 9:27?

    Unfortunately...that's not honesty, it's deception :( The problem is, you have put too much emphasis on the words being "text", and trying to "fit" them into--well, anything. The words are not text--they are spirit; and you can't fit the Spirit into anything. But you have done it, and therefore...

    Eternal Life is Now!

    Oh wow--I just noticed this...after posting a new thread, called: "NOW" is not the word.

    "NOW" is not the word.

    Being in the "present" with Jesus, is indeed a great place to be. But it's only a stepping stone on the path. We are not to take up residence along the path of coming fully into God. The ideas and the thoughts that lead us to perhaps think that "now" or being in the "present", may be well...

    What is the "SIGN" of the Son of Man - Poll

    Yes, and what is a "sign" but a showing or something made manifest? As I stated in my last post, that sign was made manifest on the cross. Which was a glimpse of heaven on earth--not as heaven, but as having originally occurred in heaven...made manifest in the world. For which He said, "the...
