One might just as easily ask "Why do you believe that there is or ever was sin in the world, because Christ was "slain before the foundation of the world?" Each question (the above question or the OP question) leads one to stumble over the times of this world which did not exist when the...

No need to categorically point to the Catholics. On the contrary, the "many" who go to destruction that Jesus referred to would potentially even include some of the five churches of Revelation that He had "somewhat against." The "broad way" was rather a caution regarding the gods of the...

Indeed, just as all marriage-like unions among mankind is not what leads to life everlasting (with God), so too, marriage with other gods does not lead to live everlasting either, but only death.

Though the issues of marriage and LGBT have become the seemingly large topic of recent times that they would appear to be, as such those are the smallest of details on the matter. Minutiae, nonetheless important. Each is a part of the greater image cast into the creation of mankind made...

There is one timeline and also one eternal line...that is one according to men and the ways of this created world that exist only for "a time, times, and half a time", and there is also a reality that does not exist on a timeline but is eternal (always). In the eternal, Jesus received the...

Unfortunately, that is what has been taught following "there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction." That was...

The marriage of Adam and Eve is not so much a model as it is a revelation. It is only a model and tradition to be handed down for future generations to have the same opportunity to consider the revelation. "God created them male and female" after stating that He created them "in His image."...

Oh, I see, you were referring to yourself making such a statement. Not to worry, there's more to it than that...meaning you have made no violation, merely stopped part way to the finish. There is no condemnation for being caught in the fold, only for being out of the fold. The finish is being...

I guess "Slow down" is my response...as my "No" answer was what I was saying is NOT true, but in fact "impossible." As for "God with us" not being allowed on this site...since when is all scripture not allowed? News to me. As for it not being on topic, that would only be true if your...

That's quite the mess--I mean the history as well as the conclusion. First off, you say "Clearly, no one is raptured into heaven alive", against Christ, who said, "God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” Furthermore, the term "rapture" is simply derived from the original language...

Perhaps a better question for most to arrive at their own understanding of what is actually true rather than just what is "believed" to be true, is: Is it possible for God himself to exist in both this world and also in His own kingdom at the same time? If so, then those who are His, those who...

Well said (enough). There is a dimensional aspect here that I might add, which is: As time ticks in this world but not in eternity, in the transition between the two, "future" only describes one side of the equation...and is only "future" for those who have not yet passed from death to life...

Sharing sources would simply allow one to do what has always been done--that is, to pass what someone else says off as not being true. That is not how one comes to believe what is true. This we know from our many salvation experiences. It's personal, and one needs rather to come crashing down...

Yah, it occurred to me that it my just give the doubtful a scapegoat to point the finger at and make the same "conspiracy theory" claim. Better if one does their own research of the real events of history (not just what is reported).

A better way to understand why babies are rightly considered sinful since they may not have even committed any sin (as yet) was stated by God in the beginning, as each "according to its kind." Meaning (by example of other beasts of the flesh) that babies whether they have or have not yet...

How is that on topic?

Certainly the data listed above in the Original Post has not been considered to line up with Matthew 24. Which is kinda true, in that most if not all of Matthew 24 was addressing what would "shortly come to pass" after the cross (not really the topic). But, what the Original Post data does line...

Thanks for the summary! What these things ought to confirm rather, is that indeed, "there is nothing new under the sun." I mean...Satan and evil have been at work since the first week! And thank God most have thought their own times were the end--because, for them, it was. Think about that...

Specifically then... As before, I say again that your position above is conjecture on your part, perhaps by misunderstanding, but if nothing else, by semantics which is the confusion of language by God since Babel. It is obvious that what you have written is from your own understanding, but I...

We are counseled to endure until the end, and to hear what the Spirit says. You're not doing so good, expecting things to go the way of your own understanding. That's not how this works. To the contrary, we are to expect what we "do not expect"; and that the mystery of God which is called a...
