I'm not debating, simply informing for edification. There is no call to debate, rather opening of ears. David prophesied of a time when God would not desire or require sacrifice because of His Son's desire to do His Will as the Mediator of the New Covenant. Psa 40:6 Sacrifice and offering...

Yes, Matthew Henry calls them Legal Sacrifices because they were required under Mosaic Law, but they were defective because: it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins they were not of sufficient value as, nor of similar nature to the offenders they were offered...

It's a given that ethereal principalities, powers, and rulers of the darkness of this world are at work in the sphere of human activity, and that God's People are engaged in conflict with spiritual wickedness in heavenly places, as per Paul's treatise in Ephesians 6. A supernatural algorithm...

Just to clarify, the books of the Bible as published by convention, are not all in chronological order, but their narratives are. From memory, as per Greek tradition, the NT epistles were actually arranged by authors in order of length, from longest to shortest. I agree with the cadence of the...

Obviously the earth is repopulated during the millenium. Rev 20:7-9 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison (8) and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose...

Is Christ not your King in this life then? Jer 10:10 But the LORD is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth will tremble, And the nations will not be able to endure His indignation.

Context is everything when applying Scripture: Isa 53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand. The cults that portray...

Scripture assures of the necessity of the sacrifice to redeem transgressors and deliver the promise of eternal inheritance. Heb 9:15-16 (15) And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first...

Joh 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" Points to note: The lamb was a sacrificial animal among the Jews. God had taught His chosen people to slay a lamb and to sprinkle its blood as a sacrifice. The...

To appease His Wrath against unrighteousness. It's something we have to accept by faith since we start life as involuntary products of our God-ordained existence. The benevolent relationship God wants to have with us requires us to receive His gifts, incuding the gift of Himself in the form...

Nothing consumable, but natural material fire and supernatural spiritual fire serve different purposes. Mat 25:41 "Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

So the exhortation not to be deceived still stands because the man of sin/son of perdition as described has not been revealed, although many Popes have come and gone. 2Th 2:1-4 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, (2) not...

Seven verses that show it's all going to burn. 2Pe 3:7-13 But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. (8) But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a...

Yes, as a signpost that points to the all sufficient, perpetually appeasing sacrifice of Christ for the sins of the world. Heb 10:12-14 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, (13) from that time waiting till His enemies are made...

Because so far the regional ripples in history that bear similarities to the prophecied catastrophic events of Revelation have been mere fractals that prefigure the fullscale global dynamic prior to the destruction of the old universe and the creation of the new one. Rev 21:1-4 Now I saw a...

Yes, there is a definite formality being observed by addressing each letter as such, so that in each of the seven ekklesias named delegated authority to receive and publically communicate the message that John was instructed to write is given rather than it being put to committee to decide...

They do not share the LOVE of the Gospel truth that the saints have. In fact they despise it, and favour things like Marxism and secular humanism, which are strong delusions.

Typo Alert: Should be "Delusion".

The strong delusion sent by God renders those who despise the truth of the Gospel beyond redemption.

Link to Quote 1:Ephesus - Phantis The weed-covered desolation above of Odeum, the smaller theatre of Ephesus, symbolizes the state of Christianity today in Turkey, where Ephesus is located. Turkey, once the heartland of Paul's ministry, is 99% Muslim and devoid of Bible-based Christianity...
