    A question about the rapture

    I was not speculating or giving my opinion, that you might disagree. But let me ask you: So, you believe that you are not fallen, that you are not descendant from Adam and Eve by whom all have sinned against God and who hid themselves; or that sinning after Adam is not anti-Christ and against...

    The Tyranny of Politeness

    This is the enactment of good vs. evil, the finale. But we know who wins, and ultimately, deep down, so do they. They're just buying themselves more time. That's the game: Anything to get people out in leftfield prolongs the end of their ruse. So, out they go, saying, "Come!" So, yes, we...

    A question about the rapture

    ...It is because men are self-centered. In other words, it is easier to read that there is "a falling away" and believe "Surely not me!" in spite of confessing to be a sinner and one who's fall dates back to Adam in whom all have sinned--and point the finger...than it is to admit to the whole...

    A question about the rapture

    Your beliefs are certainly in accord with the teachings of the church (which was foretold to be tainted by false teachers), and yes, the future was indeed to experience a falling away. But the greater context and truth began in the beginning with the falling away of Adam and Eve, and...

    A question about the rapture

    Verse 3 of 2 Thessalonians 2 ( Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, ...) describes a circumstance that can and does occur at any time in history. In other words, there is...

    The error of Biblical Interpretation by "Genre."

    Whether you read this or not...the point is not that the words are not "written in a book"-- they are. But rather that they are so much more, and more by the spirit of God than mere "literature." Indeed, distinctly more--exclusively, as heaven is more than this world, and as God is more than man...

    The error of Biblical Interpretation by "Genre."

    God having created this world and also the kingdom which is not of this world, does indeed demonstrate mutual exclusivity. For which Paul wrote that a worker approved of God need not be "ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." As such, Jesus not only performed many miracles, but being a...

    The error of Biblical Interpretation by "Genre."

    Further explanation: What prompted my run-in with this so-called teaching of interpretation of scripture limited by "genre" against the fact that "all scripture is inspired by God and profitable for doctrine", etc...was my offering help to my pastor after he preached a sermon including much...

    The error of Biblical Interpretation by "Genre."

    Many pastors and church leaders have been taught that the Bible is "literature." Here is an example of what is commonly taught: The Bible is a work of literature. Literature comes in different genres, or categories based on style, and each is read and appreciated differently from another. For...

    How many ages are there?

    Bob, As there is no time in the heavenly realm of God ("no shadow of turning"), the "age" to come is not actually an age or "world" as it is also defined or translated, but rather to be understood as "ever" or evermore/"everlasting." Contrary to the five ages that you have suggested, Daniel...

    The Messiah

    Again, you're not listening. I told you I wasn't having a "discussion." Furthermore, I have not been saying what I "think." But make no mistake, in spite of your insolence, it has been an offer of kindness and help.

    The Messiah

    That's what you get when you pit one against another. To be clear...I do not specifically "agree" with @Behold, but I was "not at all" saying he is wrong. This confusion is yours. My point was that you misunderstand the issue and therefore are assuming something wrong about something you have...

    The Messiah

    That explains your lack of comprehension. You asked if I agreed. I answered, "Not at all." Now you say you "took that to mean I agree."

    The Messiah

    That is a lie. I did not say any such thing. On the contrary, I gave you the truth which showed you wrong in your assumption about God.

    The Messiah

    Nice try, but no. You have been having a discussion while I have simply been stating the truth from God which is not open for debate. You should have been asking questions...and paying close attention.

    Who will occupy the land of Israel in Paradise earth?

    Your observation and interpretation is too worldly. To the contrary, just as Jesus referred not to the temple of stone, but to the temple of His body, the promise to Abraham was not regarding the lands of this earth...but of that same kingdom ushered in by Christ which is not of this world. And...

    The Messiah

    That is because I am not trying to reason with you. The simple fact is, Psalm 88 doesn't say what you said. You failed to provide a scripture that shows that "that God has neither the power to resurrect the dead, nor the ability to forgive their sins." But no, I wasn't referring to that, but...

    The Messiah

    Again--you are not paying attention. I addressed and gave an answer to all of that. And you're wrong, it doesn't even say that.

    The Messiah

    I have plenty of evidence. You misunderstand. Apparently you are not listening or comprehending what I have actually presented to you. Things don't work the way you are intent on controlling them. You are not in control...except in your own decision making. You don't get to state the terms...
