    Biblical-Type Floods Are Real, and They're Absolutely Enormous

    I wasn't intending to have a discussion or get your opinion on the future of humanity, but simply to offer you a piece of the mysteries of life as we would otherwise know it: Time. Nonetheless, your ideas on humanity and evil, are not biblical--in other words, they are wrong.

    Biblical-Type Floods Are Real, and They're Absolutely Enormous

    I was not referring to Matthew 7, but to Mark 4:21-25. But no, I was speaking in the context of all of time.

    Biblical-Type Floods Are Real, and They're Absolutely Enormous

    Do not be fooled by the timing. Times, and the perceived timeline associated with this world were created just as mankind was created. And being of the same elements as we were created--these things are all a mere created "image", just as we are created in the image of God. It is important to...

    The Day Of Atonement/Yom Kippur

    I know you mean well...but you are speaking Biblical or Christianese. Why not speak plainly? The Day of Atonement need simply be understood as the day in which atonement is made. "Atonement" simply means the repair of the broken relation between God and mankind. The good news is, that day came...

    You Probably Believe This Lie

    The idea that salvation can be lost is due to men thinking as men think--that is in terms of times, which is not godly at all but rather a delusion that was merely created and is "of this world." In other words, regarding eternal things (of which salvation is one), there is no timeline on which...

    I'm a sinner. I'm dirty with clean areas, help!

    Your guilty feelings are proof that you have changed from when you would not have felt guilty. That is good. It's progress and shows you are on the correct path. Praise God for having brought you out of darkness, even if it somewhat remains. Keep moving forward, seeking Him. He will show you the...

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    No, that is not biblical (and you should correct your stance on it). Mark 13:11 But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. 2...

    Where did the holiday Christmas come from?

    Men are not in control of the timing of world events, but rather God is, as He works all things together for good for those who love Him according to His purpose. Thus, the early church fathers must have just found the pagan holiday a convenient holiday to take over for the celebration of...

    When do you "expect" Jesus to return?

    It is good to attempt to stop people from arguing, and that you have said that you don't know and have not seen it yet. But what of those who have seen it? What of those who have opened the door as Jesus said, and who He has "come in to?" This very thing was foretold and has been witnessed to...

    Where did the holiday Christmas come from?

    They didn't. You have it backwards. The pagans celebrated their own holiday and had their own name for it. Then the early church fathers took it over and called it Christmas.

    Who will greet Jesus at His Return?

    Revelation 3:20-22 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. 22 “He...

    Where did the holiday Christmas come from?

    As the story goes, just as is also the case with Easter, the early church fathers being faced with many wanting to continue celebrating their old pagan holidays after beginning to believe in and follow Christ--because Christ had overcome the world, they took them over and declared them to be...

    When do you "expect" Jesus to return?

    You misunderstand. I was not suggesting that there is more written in the scriptures that should also be considered--but rather stating it as fact. It is also a fact that many passages are not even considered and that most people (apparently including yourself) have not reconciled all...

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    Again, you refer to what I have been telling you as "opinion", after I have again testified to the fact that it is not. You do not believe me, because you have also not believed all that Christ said that is now written, but only believe part. So be it.

    When do you "expect" Jesus to return?

    Name one. Which I say again with the chance that you might possibly be holding the door open. Because you said you did not "believe" me, but what you do believe you say "we believe." To the contrary, "I say to you, we speak what we know and testify what we have seen, and you do not receive our...

    When do you "expect" Jesus to return?

    If we are to watch and be ready, we should be seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Having been told of great apostacy and foretold false teachers spreading lies among the church and times of strong delusion, it should be understood that what is expected is not to be believed. We...

    If the second coming happens before the thousand years?

    No, what I have been telling you does not even fit the definition of Preterism beliefs. I have been referring to matters of the kingdom and of God, as without time, and only matters of men and this world as dated, or as Paul said it, "but each one in his own order."

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    That answers the first question of why you look for a greater tribulation to come than was put on Christ although it is written "nor shall ever be" after the sum total of all tribulations were put upon Him. So, thank you, you have stated the crux of the problem. But what "system" do you refer...

    When do you "expect" Jesus to return?

    I do believe the scriptures, but what is in error is not the words that are written, but what you and many have believed the words mean. This is why I have said repeatedly that you do not understand. In which case, I will ask you: Have you not perceived that down through the ages what is written...
