    What is the book of Revelation really about?

    The Book of Revelation is the climactic prophecy that completes the narrative of God's dealings with His Creation.

    Why The Apostles Repeatedly Disobeyed the Risen Lord

    The matter is easily resolved by illumination from this passage: 1Jn 5:6-12 This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. (7) For there are three that bear witness in...

    Lake of Fire, Purpose

    Are you there, Wrangler? I hope you will consider this verse sufficient to distinguish between the Holy Spirit and the human spirit. Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

    The Journey in the Wilderness

    Hi Ziggy, Thanks for bringing this subject up. There is a Scripturally sound perspective that has the earthly temporary Ark of the Covenant as a copy of the heavenly eternal Ark of the Covenant. Made According to Pattern: Exo 25:9 According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of the...

    Why is only satan bound for 1000 years?

    If as you believe, Satan is currently bound and sealed in the abyss then all that precedes this, including the Revelation 19 war of the beast and his army against Christ on the White Horse, and the casting of the beast and the false prophet into the Lake of Fire, has already taken place. Enough...

    Lake of Fire, Purpose

    Yes, I've spent some time on this apparent contradiction because it also arises in relation to the fruit yielded by the Tree of Life. The word month derives from the word moon and implies a division of duration based on the moon's orbit. Given that there is no need for light from the sun and and...

    Lake of Fire, Purpose

    Paranormal stuff.

    Lake of Fire, Purpose

    Good point. Amazing special effects.

    Like the Days of Noah...

    Best not to suppress the truth in unrighteousness but to be redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ who is declared to be the Son of God, as per these verses: Rom 1:1-4 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God (2) which He promised before...

    Lake of Fire, Purpose

    Either way, your belief above or the orthodox Christian belief of individual spirits, in biblical terminology when the body is dead the person is said to be sleeping, and their spirit absent from their body and present with the Lord. 2Co 5:1-10 For we know that if our earthly house, this...

    Lake of Fire, Purpose

    Yes, the biblical terminology is one thing but the biblical doctrine is another. 1Th 5:9-10 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, (10) who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. The biblical...

    Lake of Fire, Purpose

    Hi Wrangler, I have come to understand the Lake of Fire to be the theographic location of God's Wrath. Also, it seems to me the suggestion of soul sleep is not compatible with the answer Jesus gave the Sadducees. Mat 22:32 'I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB' ...

    God changed Seventh Day Sabbath Worship to First Day of the Week

    Some Sabbatarians are as mean as snakes: The Lord of the Sabbath (1 Samuel 21:1–7; Matthew 12:1–8; Luke 6:1–5) Mark 2:23One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain as they walked along. 24So the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why are...

    The Myth of saying that Jesus Christ died for all men without exception !

    Well given the heretical title of your thread it doesn't surprise me that you are unfamiliar with the simple truth that Christ died for all to be saved (sufficient grace), but only those who are willing to be saved will be (efficient grace). Now would be a good time for you to recant the heresy...

    What or who is the 8th king?

    Assyria is included in the beast powers that have troubled God's People: 2Ki 18:13-16 And in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them. (14) Then Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at...

    What or who is the 8th king?

    Visions are symbolic, fullstop, (period, if you're American). The term "body of Christ" is symbolic. It describes the collective nature and activity of those under the Headship of Christ. Likewise the beast from the sea is symbolic of the cumulative energies and efforts of wicked, unregenerate...

    What or who is the 8th king?

    Symbolism that has no application in reality is pointless. Either we believe the written Word of God or we don't. My experience is that natural and supernatural reality overlap, and Scripture reveals this from the first word of Genesis to the last word of Revelation. Some folk don't do too...

    The Myth of saying that Jesus Christ died for all men without exception !

    Hi theefaith, Faith is the conduit through which grace flows from God, and the corridor through which access to God's grace is gained, as per these references: Eph 2:8-10 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, (9) not of works...

    What or who is the 8th king?

    Hi Waiting on him. Your username is ironic since you give no answer yourself, but here it is for both you an old Marty. Context is everything. There is nothing false about the context of this verse which shows Christ having returned before the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies...

    The Myth of saying that Jesus Christ died for all men without exception !

    It couldn't be simpler. God's Grace is sufficient for all to be saved but only efficient for those who respond to it.
