And isn't that exactly what you are doing when you write books about the Bible ( as you've claimed to have accomplished)? You are interpreting scripture, whether accurate or not, you are in fact planting seeds good or bad for people to digest and believe. The Bible is sufficient AND we really...

Really? The Disciples asked Jesus a three -part question. Jesus' answer referred to the destruction of that Temple ( whoch happened in 70 AD), then He jumped far into the future to His Second Coming and to the end of the ages. Verses 14 is a key verse, about a time in history that has never...

Eschatology has been a study of mine for 30 years. I am drawn to it moreso than any other topic. Si of course in my beginnings I listened to various scholars and tested what they said, agreeing with some things and disagreeing with others. Lots of it is considered unresolved. There are a dozen...

What? The only one we are not sure of is the writer of Hebrews. Did God tell you that one? There are many antichrists and much tradition that has drifted from God's Word BUT TYE GREAT TRIBULATION HASN'T ENDED! We are likely in the "Beginning of Sorrows" which precedesbtue full blown GT or we...

What traditions are you knocking? Can you be specific? Many traditions are based on Christian customs and beliefs, passed down through generations. Christ has formed and ordered our ways of living, our culture. Worshipping, music, praying, feasts, charity, ceremonial, civil mores, taboos...

@the.reverent.atheist A former atheist, Awarding Winning Investigative Journalist, with a Masters degree in Law from Yale, Lee Strobel, sought out to disprove the Biblical stories of God and Jesus and on his journey was shocked to find overwhelming evidence contrary to his beliefs. He became a...

Well, in your hypothetical situation, this guy seems to be seeking God. He's not sure about any religion, so he tries several. At least he is trying, did you do that? Maybe you should follow your own imaginative scenario. Though this hypothetical fella goes through the motions, it's apparent...

Yes, we'll it is confusing. The Father identified Jesus as His Son at His baptism. Obviously, at conception and His birth and childhood, He was His Son as well. So looking closely at the scripture, "Son of God with power", does not necessarily say He wasn't His son before His resurrection, just...

Read Romans 11. Paul clearly explains the distinction between Israel and tue Gentiles. Branches were broken off, so that we could be grafted in. God is not done with the Jews. He will remove their veil and they will finally see their Messiah, Jesus. He will rule_ in Jerusalem_ during the...

When you refer to God's WORD as pure baloney, then I guess your door is firmly shut. Oh well, can't say I'll see ya on the other side.

Actually I rewrote my response. Apparently we are both wrong. According to Acts 13:33, Jesus was begotten when He was raised from the dead. I am witnessing to that atheist, they are all tough nuts to crack. Plant a seed and pray is all we can hope for.

Most people think Jesus was begotten at birth. Twchnically, being brought into existence, generated by parents at that moment of conception would be more accurate. But I think we are both wrong. The resurrection is when he was begotten. The context talks about becoming High Priest and ascending...

The statement applies to post flood obviously but more accurately from Christ forward. The concept of 1/3 being saved comes from the following passage, which refers specifically to Israel during the Great Tribulation. And it will come about in all the land,” Declares the Lord, “That two parts...

I answered that already. Romans 1 explains that man is without excuse. because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly...

"We know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love e the Lord, to those who are called to His purpose. Do you notice that this does not apply to everyone? Only those who love him and are. Allen to HIS PURPOSE. Sin distorts, causes defects, mentally, physically...

Specific names of the individuals you are referring to, please? See, you are just making a off the cuff bombastic statement based on nothing but assumptions and ignorance. You did not know those people, their lives, what they knew, believed, how they lived, nor their awareness of God, and how...

Investigations most thorough and complete!

We need to experience both good and evil. We could not really appreciate or know what good is until we go without it, see the other side. We couldn't know or appreciate God and all His attributes (and all good things come from God). He put the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden for...

Christ's First Coming -- fulfilled!

Oh, for Pete's sake ... can I leave this conversation with my final response. I'll let you have it to chew on. MacArthur is brilliant, but he gets confused sometimes as we all do. He could have stuck with his original explanation without sacrificing any Triune doctrines at all. This topic is in...
