    Melted Aluminum from a Grass Fire on Maui?

    We should be mindful that "bush fires" operate within an open system. Fires are often spread by the generated hot plasm air streams that touch down or go around objects for no apparent reasons. The observable evidence after the fire has gone through an area does not make logical sense for many...

    I suspect that the "Great White Throne Judgment" as described in Revelation is only imagery rather than an event

    @marks, Patrick has trouble with the word "everybody" as used in scripture. He is applying the literal meaning that everybody means everybody, with no exceptions. The king of England is the king of "everybody" in the British Empire, but not everybody in the British Empire accepts King Charles...

    Do you accuse people of Sin like the Pharisees did by the law.

    Well, that has been my impression from what I have read from his posts that Mathew has a heart for the lost.. I am letting God be God with respect to Matthew's beliefs and letting God sort him out. All that anyone of us can do is to encourage the people we rub shoulders with on this forum to...

    Do you accuse people of Sin like the Pharisees did by the law.

    @Jack, @MatthewG Jack, Matthew is a preterist and believes that most if not all biblical prophecy has already been fulfilled and as such, he believes that Satan has already been overcome. We all have our quirks with regards to what we believe. We need to sometimes give grace to others who do...

    Getting through tough times

    I understand your concerns about tithing, but the reality is that tithing is just a fancy name for giving to God. How a person gives/tithes to God is between that person and God. My example is that my wife and I give 5% of our income divided between two churches and nearly another 20% during...

    Getting through tough times

    @Wynona I still stand by what I wrote above in my previous post in this thread. You need advice but the picture is bigger than what you have asked help for: - Relatives believe that they have a right to give advice. It sounds like you and your husband need to set the boundaries that the...

    What Satan Doesn't Want You to Know

    Perhaps you are not that versed in what the scriptures actually say. After spending time meditating on the Parables of the Talents and the Minas, it was easy to draw the conclusion from what has been recorded in both parables that the man who goes away for a time is a reference to Satan. Rev...

    Getting through tough times

    Marriage: - never give up on what God has joined together. There was a reason for God to put you both together. The relationship dynamic between you and your husband has radically been impacted through the birth of your daughter and there is a need for you all to start normalising your dynamic...

    The Rapture is Post-trib

    There are many on this forum that should refrain from "teaching" about the end times because they have not grasped the prophetic words that God has written into the scriptures at all. It is for this reason that confusion reign on this forum re the End Times.

    The 70 Weeks Prophecy - The Ezra 6:14 Challenge

    Where is the clag glue we can use to paper over the cracks in the wall of arguments that passes to and fro between members. How important is the Ezra 6:14 challenge? Do we need it so as we can squabble over it to show who is more righteous in their understanding of its relevance in the...

    What Satan Doesn't Want You to Know

    How about that Satan has the lead role in the Parables of the Talents and the Minas. Satan has convinced people to claim that it is Jesus that goes away for a time before he returns. That Jesus gives His servants money to corrupt the people around them. A claim that is often used by the...

    One reason why the rapture can not be post-trib

    Davy, I am not sure that your understanding of Revelation 20:9 is strictly correct. I would favour that Revelation 20:9 speaks of Satan and his army going all over the face of the earth and surrounding/challenging, figurately the "barracks"/bases of the saints' beliefs as well as occupying the...

    God will shorten the days, that includes the days of the tribulation (prepared?)

    You might be right, but I do know this, that God's prophetic words will come to pass in the sequence that he has allotted for them. I also believe that my timeline is reasonably aligned with God's. Goodbye. Sweet dreams in the bye and bye.

    Is Jesus the "third temple"?

    Have it your way. Be the expert you want to be, but I will not follow you or your leading in this area. Goodbye

    God will shorten the days, that includes the days of the tribulation (prepared?)

    You are right. Many a person on the internet present wild ideas with no scriptural backing. It would seem that you are a preterist in your understanding and as such you dismiss every other point of view. In fact, I believe that your interpretations of End Times does not fit God's prophecies...

    Is Jesus the "third temple"?

    One of the places that Armageddon is mentioned is in Rev 16:12-16. The three frog like spirits goes out from Satan, the Beast and the False Prophet to do signs and wonders that the whole world will see so as to draw the kings of the earth to Armageddon. The signs and wonders occurred on...

    Is Jesus the "third temple"?

    I am sorry, that I did not understand that you were referring to events that will occur before the tribulation period at the end of the seventh age. Your words only created confusion for me because it did not differentiate the events prior to the tribulation from the time of the tribulation and...
