    Matthew 24

    There's a problem with that understanding~it fails the test of the context under consideration. Go back and consider carefully Jesus' words starting at verse 5 down to verse 25. Who is under consideration in those verses for the main part? False prophets and their followers. Also, who are under...

    Matthew 24

    Christ did not tell them to look for the budding of the fig tree andall trees, but to his elect through the apostles. The evil and adulterous generation of little serpents would increase greatly as this world comes to its end. Sir, you have it wrong. Jesus used the fig and all tree, to teach...

    Matthew 24

    Sir, that's pure Jewish fables promoted mostly by the Scofield Reference bible that the fundamentalist of the Independent Baptist and Pentecostals have latched on to. Watch for my post on 2nd Thess 2, later in the day and then add your comments if you desire.

    Matthew 24

    Sir, that's your call. We are, and the only temple where God dwells and where he will ever dwell. Sir, you are not understanding such scriptures properly~which is causing you to hold to other doctrines that truly are dishonouring to Christ and his finished work of redemption which is never to...

    Matthew 24

    Agreed Ronald, that's a true statement, yet, it is true also, that we all are here teaching what we believe God has revealed to us as his truth, so, our duty who profess to be his children, is to obey 1st John 4:1, and test them with the word of God to see if they are of God or not, on the...

    Matthew 24

    We let the scriptures interpret themselves and they will, yet I do not see your reasoning behind what you are saying has any impact on how we should interpret Matthew 24~as I said above, the CONTEXT does that for us, and by comparing other scriptures with scriptures is the means of understanding...

    Matthew 24

    I do believe the record that God gave of his Son, who was born in the likeness of sinful flesh, for sin and condemned sin in the flesh by his perfect obedience to the law of God in thoughts, words, and deeds from conception until death. Why would anyone deny is truth? If they do, they are not...

    Matthew 24

    Greetings grafted branch~It's not only possible, but absolutely imperative that believers do so. All bible truths are contained within the sixty-six books of the word of God, none outside of them. Tow things to consider: Once anyone steps outside of the word of God, to teach a bible truth...

    Matthew 24

    Absolutely the truth being taught in Matthew 24; Mark 13; Luke 21 and 2nd Thess. 2; 1st John 2:18; Revelation in several chapters.

    Matthew 24

    Greetings Keraz~There will be no new temple built in Jerusalem and reinstating OT worship~the very thought of that is blasphemy and a denial of Jesus' redemption work and and rejection of the true spiritual temple that is the only true temple that God has ever taken perfect delight in. So many...

    Matthew 24

    No Scott you have not offended me~no even close. Scott, you have it backward. The preaching of the gospel is foolishness in the eyes of those that perish, but in the eyes of those who are the called of God, it is the power of God and the wisdom of God, for therein is the righteousness of God...

    Matthew 24

    I assume you also think you can walk on water also? One step and you will hit bottom, one post on the book of Revelation thinking you can give light even to the very best of God's children is an platitude statement, and only shows your limited bible understanding.

    Which view does Zechariah 14 support? Premil or Amil?

    Greetings David, give me time to go over carefully this thread and I'll get back with you. I have a lot to do today, so maybe tomorrow, or Monday. RB

    Matthew 24

    I'm not going to continually repeat myself to you Scott. If you read my post then you know that I do understand them in a spiritual sense many times over. I just do not force Josephus' wars of the Jews into the scriptures to twist and pervert them to try to make them say something they are not...

    Matthew 24

    Thank you for your godly response back and well thought out ~ I enjoyed reading such and having the opportunity to address such. David, I highlighted and underscored my position above. 70 A.D. is a doctrine taught by some ( even righteous people, God fearing people ) and though it is, is it not...

    Matthew 24

    Greetings David~All one needs to do his address certain points along the way and I'll stop and answer as I go. I've done enough now to get me on my way, enough to get some of my points out there for discussions. David, I have factored in just about everything that may come up, at least I think...

    Matthew 24

    Scott~read my post again above~I clearly said that I approach all scriptures at face value, and use all scriptures and the surrounding words of the context under consideration to determine how I should understand what is being said. Now, you believe what you want to believe about what I have...

    Born Again or Christian? Is there a difference and what is your biblical support ?

    Greetings Pearl~I said it the very way I meant to say what I did. That goes without saying. I explain what I meant above by saying what I did. But, no problem no harm done. I'm finished with this thread, there's no profit in continually with Rita on this.

    Matthew 24

    Matthew 24:7b "................ and earthquakes, in divers places." Are true saints motivated and strengthen in their faith by the world's news? Again, I ask this question: before the world's news became like the speed of light going through this earth, how did saints labor to understand the...
