    Trump is dangerous - a Messianic Complex

    Even so, Jesus now reigns and this is all just the enactment of evidences before the Judgment. Don't be surprised if the Judgement is not also first enacted in the events of this world, as it is written, "Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring...

    Trump is dangerous - a Messianic Complex

    Campaigning on one's prior, proven record...is not "narcissism." It's what it takes to win. Even if Trump is a modern day Nebuchadnezzar--why throw your vote away to the benefit of the Democrats, greater of two evils? Best to put your feelings aside. Nebuchadnezzar: The Jews thereafter...

    Be Warned: Revelation 20 Is Not... A Current Reality

    But you haven't answered the question (How do you reconcile (or even rationalize) such events of God--as being "future", with the fact that He "is the same yesterday, today, and forever" and "says, “I am the Lord, I change not?”). In other words, acts of God are according to His unchanging...

    The Origins of Christmas ~PART 2

    Oh good! The fact that many of the present traditions have nothing to do with Christ, is not to the discredit of the church fathers, but should be considered a well intended attempt to expose pagans to Christianity--not the other way around. Those pagan traditions speak rather of the pagans not...

    Peter the Rock?

    Yes, you gave the answer already...because: Jesus never used the term, because He "was speaking Aramaic." But that is not the real reason Jesus called him "Peter", changing his name. Nor does changing his name make it all about him (except in his own life and service, as chosen by God). No acts...

    The Origins of Christmas ~PART 1

    That was nauseating! Those accounts of tradition origins may be good to know--but, was it ever stated In that painful exhortation why Christians and the church celebrate the birth of Jesus on December 25th? The point is...those are not the reasons Christians and the church celebrate on December...

    the Urantia Book and the Bible

    It would appear to be philosophy-based, which in the greater reality of God, would mean that it comes forth as from the clay rather than from the Potter. Thus, not advisable. The point being, that there is but One way of going beyond our eventual death unto life everlasting...and side trips of...

    Peter the Rock?

    And you can pretend you "did NO such thing"--but I quoted you. The above is also quotable (as fruit).

    Peter the Rock?

    Great work, good point! I might suggest that your findings indicate a hole in the so-called "apostolic succession" doctrine. Except, that would assume that the matter were actually left in the hands of men. But no, if there is a hole--it was left by God.

    Peter the Rock?

    Hmmm, you acknowledge what I said and quoted as the truth--but then reply: "WRONG." That explains a lot of replies from you. Unfortunately. I now see the problem and will not trouble or torment you further.

    Uzzah and the Arc of the Covenant

    Your question is not unlike this one: Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. 2And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” John 9:1-2 To which Jesus answered, saying: “Neither this man nor his parents sinned...

    God speaks to me?

    Great testimonies here! Perhaps this is (or is not) a good time to point out that although the scriptures are born of the Spirit and often alive with the Spirit and greatly loved--as mere literature (which they are not), they are second-hand information from God often viewed dimly through the...

    Peter the Rock?

    Get over yourself. It was a gift--showing you the missing piece and error you have been under. Granted, pointing out such things is tough love. But apparently you would rather look to find error in others than look in the mirror. So, I leave you to it. That will be the last time I give you the...

    The meaning of Biblical or Prophetic numbers

    I think we both have a similar level of understanding here, I don't get into it much but it has come in helpful in considering the scriptures. As for #12, yes 12 refers perhaps to authority, although I am not aware of the "government" connection. I see it biblically as a reference to "all" of...

    Peter the Rock?

    :( Now you mock someone else and call him names. But the scripture you gave is good. Unfortunately, you apparently only acknowledge parts of it--which makes a good small example of all that you present, and your pattern of error. Without going into all the rest, just looking at this passage...

    God speaks to me?

    There are many misunderstandings and misgivings on this. There are many things at work, God "is working all things together for good for those who love Him according to His purpose." Being on the receiving end of the work of the Holy Spirit as ordered by Jesus, according to the will of the...

    Peter the Rock?

    You call "lies", while I call "misunderstanding", "mistranslation", and "confusion." You contend for private interpretation, while I contend for correction, and the revelation and finish of the mystery of God which was foretold not to come until mistranslations, misunderstandings, and times of...
