Douggg, I thought that I had conveyed that what you had posted in #16 was helpful. Sadly, many of your other posts are not. Their source is their undoing.

If there had been a great earthquake as the translators have suggested with their faulty translation of the Greek word, "seismos," then the earthquake would have been recorded. If however, this Greek word had been translated as "turmoil," then the fourth verse begins to make more sense. How...

@Douggg What you have posted above is interesting as a timeline for when Daniel penned the various parts of the Book of Daniel, but it does not change what I have posted or the importance of my post for understanding what is unfolding today.

Ignorance is a wonderful asset with which to solve all of the problems of the world. The biggest problem that we have down under are all of the furry animals of the ignorant people who have escaped from their well-meaning owners and are now thriving in the wilds of the land down under to now...

Hello Daniel 2 is only speaking of the nations and empires that will have dominion over the land of the Chaldeans/Babylon. Today we know that the nations/empires that have exercised dominion over the land of the Chaldeans/Babylon are, 1, Babylon, 2. The Medes and the Persians, 3, the Grecian...

ScottA, this is the question that I asked: - And you did not answer my question with this response: - Can you please answer my original question and not submit an answer that deals with another aspect of the crucifixion. Did Christ die at the ninth hour on the Friday? A "yes" or a "no"...

No, seeking clarification of what you had posted that I had quoted.

Ah ScottA, do you believe that Christ died around 3 pm on the Friday of the Passover Feast?

Sounds like you're a blessed person who has never run out of soft tissue paper or wet wipes for your soft derrieres. In the land down under, when you venture into the wide blue yonder, you are required to remove all of your waste, including toilet paper, because the dingos will dig up your...

You know that many third world countries do not use toilet paper to wipe their bottoms, but rather use water and their left hand to clean the offending matter from off their butts. With this being the case, the issue of this crass humour is lost on them. let us consider the previous post...

Within the Jewish convention, the day of the week ends when the sun goes down and the next day begins immediately in the evening and ends on the next sunset. Since the next day started when the sun set on the day of preparation, the Gospels are unclear as to when the High Priest and the scribes...

Evidence of self-protectionism at its best by Hobie.

Ah @MatthewG, if you carefully read the scriptures, the above quote sticks out like a sore thumb from the pages of the scriptures. Writing this quote off as of no consequences, like you have done, is shortsightedness on your part. Now if you love me as you claim then you would chew the cud on...

^^^ Ah, Walter, your understanding has been misled by the traditions of our past. Christ died on the day of preparation for the Passover, i.e., Thursday, and was placed in the tomb before the Friday Passover began when the sun went down on the day of preparation for the Passover feast. It is...

So true.

Actually, if you consider the time span that God has walked contrary to Israel and Israel has walked contrary to God, Exodus 20:4-6 is not talking about the third and the fourth descendant generations that the visitation of the father's iniquities would be for, but rather the Lord was speaking...

This quote is important for you to understand: - “If you believe what you like in the Gospel, and reject what you don’t like, it is not the Gospel you believe, but yourself.” - Augustine

God is so good. He cares for those who are prepared to respond to His prompting and blesses them. Together in your life's journey, search out God's fertile soil and chose to send your roots down into His fertile field to find the nourishment that is necessary for your lives. Shalom

@MatthewG, thanks for your like, but you are one of the members that do not believe what they read but have put your own twist upon the scriptures like so many others on this forum have done.

But we also need to be careful that we do not grab the first spirit that comes along to enter our lives. It may not conform to what Christ said would happen. Sadly, you do not present what is in scripture. You present that the "beasts" are human entities, whereas the scriptures present the...
