"Before the foundation of the world", all things are/were in Christ. And this, this is just the revealing of it all over the created media known as time, wherein there is no actual timeline (like the events written in a book).

My dislike of 'isms and calling them man's doing, is simply the fact that men have separated or categorized would-be people of God for their own need for compartmentalized organization before seeing the same as one body or an orchestration made by God to do the same but as one. In other words...

Kindness is of course the best default position for a Christian in all circumstances. The same is true with family and children. However, that is not to say that the belt should never come out, or that tough love when called for is not to be considered love also. In fact we should have no...

This is a great topic that should indeed be seriously looked at--objectively. The reason to look at this topic and ask these types of questions is that it is a biblical fact that "there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies" 2 Peter 2:1. In addition...

You are under the wrong impression. Life in this world is not the measure of what is to be, but is the measure of what was (before the foundation of the world--before we were even born). As such, this is the revelation of all that was before the Judgement. This is our last will and...

That's a lot of 'isms. In fact so many that it is hard to determine just what it is that you are trying to say. Best I can figure is that you are against the idea of dispensationalism. But then, not being a fan of 'isms, I am not sure I even know what that even means-- which is not to say that I...

You are right to make your every statement above a question...because clearly you do not understand. The things that are made manifest in this world are not the result of God's "need", but are a revelation of all things good and evil in an act by God to "divide" the good from the evil. And yes...

The purpose of gender before God, is one purpose. God created mankind male and female as a demonstration or "image" of Himself, showing that mankind was taken out of God to be His helpmate. Thus, it is only the role of men and women to show forth that image that God has purposely caused as a...

It's simpler than that really. Water baptism is like water birth (that is being born of women and of the flesh). Then John the Baptist said that Jesus would baptize with the Holy Spirit. Jesus then explained that spiritual baptism required being born again of the spirit of God, which was and...

That's just the coolaid.

We don't...and that is not the purpose of the local or greater church. The purpose is simply to spread the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to equip the saints for good works.

Money certainly is a big deal and is a part of much that is now happening. However, it is not the mark of the beast. The mark of the beast is not a physical thing, but spiritual. It is the spirit of anti-Christ, of which many (most) have partaken of. The evidence of which is revealed, but only...

He is indeed, "very enthusiastic." But his Original Post here reveals the greater truth of his mental state. He is obviously very troubled (to put it nicely). :( Helen's advise was right on.

Indeed, comprehension is the problem. Yours. I never claimed that "the Israelites will be rejected", but stated rather the historical fact that they had rejected Jesus.

Jesus made His corrections before Israel of what was foretold of the times to come, but was rejected. At which point He told them assuredly speaking to those alive at the time, saying "you", that "this generation" (their generation) would see "all these things come to pass." But they did not...

Unfortunately, it is you who has missed the point. The point is the events on this would-be timeline come to an end. This is not me waxing philosophical, and I know those that do have caused you to grow weary. But are those things that are to come not first announced? And just how is that, are...

Well said! That is a good and accurate telling of what most of Christendom has believed-- but there is an error in what most have believed, which Jesus only eluded to, saying, "the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect." The error is that "lie" that was to be believed causing...

Yes, I submit the Temple in Jerusalem and Jerusalem was only a mockup or manifestation--and of the world, of what is greater in heaven...just as Jesus spoke of the Temple referring rather to His own body. But men are prone to obsess with the things of this world to a fault, looking to the...

You said, "Why would global things like those be used as evidence for the approaching local event in Jerusalem? I don't believe that makes sense." To which I submitted that no scripture is actually only to be considered "local" (as if only for "private interpretation"), but that "all scripture...

It was a hypothetical question which I referred to by way of answering it. That is: Is any passage of scripture really ever only local; or to the contrary, because it has been entered into the greater context of scripture, is it not rather true that "All Scripture is given by inspiration of...
