    Same ol' Priests and Pharisees :(

    Since Jesus came, then went to the Father and has returned in those who open the door when He knocks, and will be with us until the end of the age...He has found faith, but also found falsehood and folly. Unfortunately. Isaiah 54:1 “Sing, O barren, You who have not borne! Break forth into...

    Same ol' Priests and Pharisees :(

    We've done it again! When Jesus came the first time the religious leaders of Israel (God's own people) rejected Him. They were so far removed from what God had actually told them--the enemy that Jesus came to save them from wasn't just the Roman Empire--it was them, it was the leaders of Israel...

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    It is not the waters below the firmament that save, but those above...as it has been since the beginning. This is that other flood that was poured out upon all flesh prophesied by Joel the prophet, sent and fulfilled by Jesus, and confirmed by Peter.

    And so a double portion.

    Daniels 70-Weeks Timeline

    I corrected you on your error of what is "literal" with God and what is not, and quoted the scriptures of what is and what is not with confirmations also written--and it is rather you who is defiant, preferring what is not written over what is. And you make it personal, so by each of these same...

    Daniels 70-Weeks Timeline

    You should not need to ask me--for it says "coming [in the clouds of heaven]", which is to say, not in the world. And as I also pointed out, is confirmed by Jesus who said, "the world will see Me no more" John 14:19.

    Daniels 70-Weeks Timeline

    No I do not deny it. But to the contrary, what is actually "literal" is not of the world, but of God and "does not come by observation" in the world, for Jesus said, "the world sees me no more." Which is to say, these things which many have expected to see, they will not see except after the end...

    Our generation will not die before the rapture and the return of Jesus to earth. PTL

    This is a common misunderstanding...and the very reason for the "restraining." 2 Thessalonians 2 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as...

    Daniels 70-Weeks Timeline

    All of those events are only "future" to those who have not come to them yet. But with God who is the Author of those events--there is no past, present, or future, but only eternity. Jesus and Paul explained it this way: The resurrection that was and is only future, is only future until...as...

    Daniels 70-Weeks Timeline

    Times with God are not the same as we would count them. We assume according to our own way of thinking...like 70 weeks (times), etc.. But He, being the Creator of times, numbers the days according to His purpose--which seemingly can be counted in this way or that, and sometimes they can. But it...

    The Bride of Christ / The Body of Christ

    Notice that in Ephesians 5:25-32 Paul refers to the context of discussion and his point of reason, "as Christ." Notice that he did not refer rather to Jesus or the Father or to God, per se, but specifically to "Christ." Also recall that Paul came to say, "for me, to live is Christ." In which he...

    Does John 1:1 say Jesus is God

    You make a moot point. Certain everything is manifest by God, and everything that was and is manifest comes from God. But there are two issues with what you have posted: There is no actual "came into being" in the way that you describe, just as there is actually no "yesterday, today, and...

    Poll: HISTORY - Did the Apostles ever make it out...?

    After. Matthew 10:23 When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    Well...if you are going to add the terms of religious folly--No, that he did not do. Ferris, please understand that the events of God do not exist on such a timeline as you have based your beliefs, but are merely revealed on one. In other words, the saying "to be absent from the body and to be...

    Daniels 70-Weeks Timeline

    Jesus was none of those. Perhaps He was a Futurist in that He prayed "Thy kingdom come...", and perhaps a Preterist because He claimed "I am." Jesus was and is rather, for lack of a better term, an Eternalist. But labels do not help in defining He who is infinite. On the contrary, all these...

    Our generation will not die before the rapture and the return of Jesus to earth. PTL

    As true as can be stated. For instance: 7 times were appointed for Daniel's people, 4 times for their captivity (their reign); and on the 4th day "God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night", etc., etc..

    Our generation will not die before the rapture and the return of Jesus to earth. PTL

    Forty years is but the half-life of most men, but it is the time of their reign during their generation, when they are grown but not yet old. Thus, the common biblical reference of it.

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    That was not my question. You already know what you have just stated, and now I also know what you know because you have told me. But the question I asked is common biblical information that apparently you do not know...so, I ask again: How many types of birth are named in the Bible regarding...

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    You are repeating yourself and your error in understanding, which you can certainly continue in until you die--but, the thief on the cross came into paradise (heaven) that very day--2,000 years ago, and this is the measure of how far off you are. But you were correct about it being "when Christ...

    No, but rather "A time, times, and half a time" is: "Time" is all of time, "times" is the times before the cross and the times after, and "half a time" (or the "dividing of time") is the dividing of the light (half) from the darkness.
