    When do you "expect" Jesus to return?

    I believe I just answered this on another thread. But, yes, "soon" is the correct answer--but it is still when "you do not expect." And it remains a mystery to most--but should not, for Paul gave the answer: "but each one in his own order", which Jesus specified would be when He "stands at the...

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    The answer is the same--these things all come "but each one in his own order." Meaning, that it is future for some, but past for many who have come and gone already, as it is all done in the one event "with Christ", making the event pre-Christ for many, and post-Christ for many, including...

    Holy Spirit - The Sin Against

    Again, the dividing line is that of the Spirit. During Jesus' time and before, it would be easier to understand that a person of the flesh blaspheming against another flesh person would be something that one could then repent of and it would be forgiven. But if you recall the sin of Ananias who...

    Does a Christian sin

    Well said! The fact is, the times before and after salvation are "created" just as the person was created, and those times are not a part of salvation (as "God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.") Salvation rather is of God and not of the times of this world where sin exists. The time...

    Still believe the myth of man caused Climate Change?

    Well, that's just wrong. That is not what it says or what I wrote.

    Differences of Opinion vs. A House Divided

    Thank you...I was just disturbed by the fact that things actually come to such a point of biblical rebuke.

    Does a Christian sin

    Regardless, the dividing line is being "born of God." Any other would-be exception is just religious nonsense.

    Holy Spirit - The Sin Against

    The context that Jesus was speaking in Matthew 12:31 was the day of Jesus Christ becoming "the firstfruits"...which is the dividing line. That is, as Paul clarified the fulness of Christ to include himself and the body of Christ--just as Jesus was saying that blaspheming against Him was...

    When do you "expect" Jesus to return?

    Matthew 24:44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. When most "expect"--is wrong. Since Jesus put it in those terms--do you believe Him? Do those terms disqualify what you believe about when He returns? During these times of when we are also...

    Still believe the myth of man caused Climate Change?

    Obviously we are not communicating well. The OP question is "Still believe the myth of man caused Climate Change?" To which you answered (below) indicating "Yes, I do"..."believe the myth of man caused Climate Change." So, my response was to say very much what you just said (above), that, no...

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    No, Jesus does not return in the future except to those to whom He comes in the future ("but each one in his own order"). His return began at Pentecost and with the first one who heard Him knocking at the door and opened to Him 2,000 years ago. To the contrary, Christ said He would not return in...

    Still believe the myth of man caused Climate Change?

    The biblical narrative is not the issue. The problem is not the issue of mankind contributing to climate change, but rather the idea that mankind can control or fix it. That's just wrong. It is rather our godly duty to promote holy and godly ways, that God may turn from "His" climate...

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    Don't misunderstand, I am not arguing, but revealing. Also, what "actually" is, is of God and of the kingdom, while the times of this world are "actually" not. You are speaking of revelations ("revealing") made to the world--and they are not the same. "For what fellowship has righteousness with...

    In regard to what Jesus said to Peter, it appears that the Apostle John's presumption is in error.

    "The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Seems to be a regular theme with you. Hmmm.

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    You keep reverting back to the thinking of men... It is not "time" that reveals the things of God, but the Spirit. To the contrary, what "time" reveals, is "the man of sin"...who also comes "but each one in his own order."

    Why belief in a god is an unfalsifiable claim that serves no purpose

    You seem to have good grasp of the inaccessibility and the inability of the natural man to know God. But what you have not figured out, is that was and is the plan. You are limiting the context by self limitation, so you don't see it. Your senses are correct, just wrong in scope and too...

    The Show Must Go On

    You're missing the point. The point is not that we are here to prove what is true and then believe it. To the contrary, we all already know that we are destine to die. The point then is not to prove anything--it's to try to survive against all odds, to find the exception if there is one--that...

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    The error here comes from expecting a "visible return" as being visible to the world--which is not biblical. "Every eye shall see" does not speak of a worldly event, as Christ said, "the world sees me no more." It speaks rather of everyone being raised up "some to eternal life, and some to...

    A polite question for pretribbers

    That would define your perspective as being worldly where times and people come and go in their own time and order--as Paul said, "but each one in his own order." To the contrary, God (and the events of God, and His perspective) "is the same yesterday, today, and forever." The point being, that...

    Why belief in a god is an unfalsifiable claim that serves no purpose

    God is real and known by most of humanity, and also truly seen and experienced by many. Your rational is denial against reason and eyewitness testimony. That is not even rational. It's called denial. I was not telling you anything subjective. Again, you only assumed it. You say that others...
