The evidences for John include: - It says it was written by the disciple the lord loved [John]. [John] the disciple the lord loved leaned on Jesus at the last supper to ask about who would betray him. Lazarus might have been a disciple but he was not an apostle (at the last supper), maybe not...

You might be right that they are different beasts, though it is maybe not necessarily definitely certain. Dragon (Rev 12) has 7 heads/crowns & 10 horns Abaddon/Apollyon (Rev 9) rises from the bottomless-pit/abyss Beast (Rev 11:7) comes from abyss 1st/Sea beast (Rev 13) has 7 heads/names & 10...

The 7th church of Laodicea(ans). Laodicea seems to be a type of the modern Victorian church centred at London, as seen by that the details of Laodicea are startlingly/amazingly similar to details of Victorian London and Britain and the British Empire? Details of Laodicea in...

The 1st church of Ephesus. Ephesus seems to be a type of the early church centred at Jerusalem, as seen by that the details of Ephesus are very analogously similar to ones of Jerusalem? Details of Ephesus in Apocalypse/Revelation(s) : - name Ephesus (meaning "desirable" / "overseer/rule", or...

Sorry I wasn't sure what sub-forum to put this thread/topic in, I looked through the titles but wasn't sure of what one suited. (Note: I searched and found there were already topics/thread on this, but there were more than one and I couldn't decide whether to post this in them and I thought I'd...

I've just checked, the forum is down or viewing is blocked, I've had this happen half a dozen times in last couple of years since changes. Sorry. Hopefully it will be right again in hours/days. Otherwise I'll have to repost on the topic here or somewhere else if time. I've been doing a little...

No one seems to know for certain, or it is not agreed conventional consensus scholars that anyone knows. But some possibilities might include: The 10 horns should be easy enough to identify since they are present-future. But the 7/8 heads are harder because they are apparently consecutive in...

Even if one accepts the claim based on Matthew 16 etc that Peter was leader of the apostles and/or "has the keys or authority", its not certain he was in Rome, and there is no proof outside of (Roman) church writings that the popes really existed and are true successors of Peter. There is...

I don't think the situation is the same as the Caesar tax question. The bible also says to respect/obey the "authorities". The assembling is not a command/law? And it is not like its going to be forever. You are not really disobeying God by complying to the forbidding of assembly. God...

Firstly there might not be a "heaven" stage? Bible is unclear on one hand says we die and sleep in grave until ressurection, and on other hand says we go to Abraham's bosom or heaven or hell. Unless it is only the bodies that sleep until ressurection. Possibilities include: 1. Live again in the...

We may have somethings here that might have been called heaven before (electricity, washing machines, running tap water, machine sewn clothes, airplanes, etc), and many people may be not so bad off having a certain amount of things (wifes/husbands, jobs, cars, houses, health, etc), and it is...

Thanks I agree it is true we need others. But I tried many churches when I was more able to get out but that all just had the same block of singing followed by a block of sermon followed by everyone goes home/out to own lives/families/interests. Anyway the problem is that in this bad...

No I don't have a home church. Firstly because I can't get out very much in this situation (which God seems to be saying through peoples posts that I just have to accept it), Secondly because churches don't allow us to join a home group without first being a regular sunday/saturday attender of...

Thanks but I don't think I can believe anymore. I have nothing to give thanks for (no wife, no children, no mental health allegedly, no house except a bad flat, no location, no brains (keep finding i am just a dumb idiot and made a fool of self), no clean water, no faith, no friends, not able to...

Yes you can move it if wish. Though not sure if i can stay a christian if God allows such mean and cruel hell. Its not clinical depression. It is the situation. Anyone would find such a situation "depressing". The world regime is a mess its not just in me/my head. I don't think this is ever...

Its more the external situation than the internal mental (depression/etc). Yes it is humans who have made this hell on earth for some of us. Most people can't help/fix but some could but they won't. God could help/fix easy in numerous ways but I don't know why he won't. What am i doing or not...

I'm not happy, I'm miserable. Where is the love, mercy, grace, compassion, healing, deliverance, consolation, etc. All I ever have/see/hear is trials, tribulation, persecution, etc. Christians all seem to like preaching suffering. Yet in past they condemn me for being negative! I feel I could...

Yes I think I have been born again years ago. Thanks people for the replies. I don't believe prosperty gospel or that things should be great, but I also don't believe that believers should suffer hell on earth. Can't see the point of the cross and his stripes/suffering if only for afterlife...

I find it very hard to love God and to have faith that he will answer prayers and fix the really bad things. Some of the major big reasons I have been finding it hard to love and have faith include: How can I love him and have faith - When he keeps allowing me to suffer the ringing sound from...

I didn't say/mean Rome is the beast or antichrist. I only said that the harlot seems to be implied to be Rome. Though the "antichrist" could possibly be a Roman or Aryan (the people of the prince that is to come in Daniel, etc). I am sure the harlot is not implied to be Jerusalem in the bible...
