    Understanding "THE MAN OF SIN IS REVEALED" passage.

    If you believe (as you have as much stated) that those whom God sends "are wasting everybody's time" because they don't know what God knows and has revealed to them, also to be given to those they are sent to---that is the measure by which you shall also (not) receive. Thus, your "own view."...

    If you believe these are the end times, why do you not also believe great apostacy has come?

    Fulfilled by "false teachers" and anti-Christs "standing in the holy place" (in the body/temple of Christ). Fulfilled by the Father pouring out His wrath upon Jesus on the cross for the sins of the whole world from Beginning to End. Which, being all tribulation, there can be no greater...

    Rev 21:14 Names of 12 Apostles on the Foundations?

    Mat 27:3 Then G5119 Judas, G2455 which G3588 had betrayed G3860 him, G846 when he saw G1492 that G3754 he was condemned, G2632 repented himself, G3338 and brought again G654 the thirty G5144 pieces of silver G694 to the chief priests G749 and G2532 elders, G4245

    What Order Should a New Christian Read the Bible in?

    I read it from cover to cover in about 10 days time, but having done so, I would recommend reading any of the four gospels first.

    Understanding "THE MAN OF SIN IS REVEALED" passage.

    You are not getting the fact that time is an illusion. There is no "work that has yet to be done", only the revelation of the One event that included it all to those who have yet to experience the illusion of time. Is Christ's crucifixion and resurrection "yet to be done?" Were all we who are...

    Understanding "THE MAN OF SIN IS REVEALED" passage.

    What is missing in that explanation, is that there is only One "then" regarding the One crucifixion and resurrection of Christ in whom all are included for salvation...a fact that indeed requires "the renewing of your mind" to even begin to comprehend it.

    Understanding "THE MAN OF SIN IS REVEALED" passage.

    There is but One Christ who has resurrected but One time, including all who are His (both the living and the dead) with Him. Meaning, the accounts of the first and the second revelations were merely accounts regarding those before and after Him: the dead before-the-fact, and the living...

    Revelation of Jesus Christ

    Ironic indeed! We do know however that there is purpose even as it is, that those who did not have as much in writing to go by were visited and inspired to be a light upon a hill unto the gentiles. Therefore it is somewhat balanced that we should "overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word...

    If you believe these are the end times, why do you not also believe great apostacy has come?

    It is true that the word from God does not always include all the specifics, but rather comes, "precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little.” To the contrary, lies come with many details not requiring spiritual discernment. Nonetheless, we are to be lead...

    Understanding "THE MAN OF SIN IS REVEALED" passage.

    You do realize there was no question in your post just critical advice, right? That certainly accounts for part, but consider that Paul also said that "we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep." Meaning that those who sleep included...

    Understanding "THE MAN OF SIN IS REVEALED" passage.

    It is a difficult thing to separate ourselves from how we are prone to think in terms of our short little lives and our own times, and think rather that we are hearing from God in His perspective rather than ours. In that God-sized perspective--when would He say the "falling away" is? Would He...

    Understanding "THE MAN OF SIN IS REVEALED" passage.

    Perhaps, but be careful with that criticism...as it could also be said of God, just as you said it yourself in describing the scriptures.

    The Day of the Lord

    I too was referring to the title ("the day of the Lord") of the Original Post. We all have our day, but He who was from "before the foundation of the world", "the Beginning and the End", "the First and the Last"--His day is all of them combined. Which makes the idea that His day is only some...

    Revelation of Jesus Christ

    Because the previous books are "line upon line, here a little there a little", so there was and is a need for clarification that it was and is actually about everything--including "the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this."...

    an armagedon will there be christians vs satanists against islam/satan

    "Armageddon" simply means the mount of gathering. It would appear to be referring to a future war, however, the "gathering" and the "war" exists from the beginning to the end of times. To the contrary of popular belief, the future is now, and is "as the days of Noah" in that most do not see...

    Understanding "THE MAN OF SIN IS REVEALED" passage.

    You don't even know the definition of what you are accusing me of. But if you want to refer to my referring to the spirit of God as "mystical god"--weeping and gnashing of teeth await--if you're lucky. Go ahead, keep it up.

    The Day of the Lord

    Yes, I do understand, and that is correct. But you are apparently not understanding that the "end times" began as it is stated of Christ ("the End") in John 2:11. It sounds like you believe that nothing ends until the end of the times of this world--but it is not so. It ends with Christ...

    I'm not sure what Christian Science says, I was referring to what God says as opposed to what people have believed.

    Doctrinal Clarity or vagueness?

    If you want to call speaking by the Holy Spirit "mystic"...you are again out of context.
