Col_1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: The above is what I believe, but is the bible really about creation...

God will not return in a physical. I am sure we don't agree on everything, but no doubt about this.

Hi veteran, I would think you might know this anyway. But the reason your prophecy teacher says the temple must be rebuilt is because they know the scripture says it will be destroyed in the last days. What they can't accept is a spiritual coming. Philetus and Hymenaeus were wrong about the...

Whirlwind (printed in black) What, or who, are the "clouds of heaven" in whom He comes? And, what is "the sign" of the Son of man in heaven? Realize too that to "see" is to see with one's eyes or.....can be understood as in, "oh I see what you mean." The sign the scripture was speaking...

There were two types of biblical slavery. Indentured servant and servanthood. In the first, one would work for the person he owed money, until the debt was paid. The second was one of desire. Neither one was the type of slavery in America.

Retrobyter, The tribes of Israel would have realized that coming in the clouds, would not mean they would actually see God. The fact he was talking to the Jews, means that the gentiles were not even invited to the event. It happened in 70 AD. You are one of several that makes me think and...

Dodo_David Getting into this late but in regards to Luke 21:25 I also believe these things are spiritual, as whirwind points out. So sometimes another scripture speaking of the same event will clear it up. Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened...

I would think, growing up in the south, that there were many good Christians in the south. The same things that plague today's Christians plagued those. Bible teachers changed the meaning of words and passed them off as truth. Such as, Do not be unequally yoked, to them meant don't marry outside...

williemac, Checked out the resurrection of the early Christians and this is what I will stand on. Study of the resurrection of the Christians before the return of Jesus, produced the following. Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw...

Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Upon...

williemac, Thank you for you reply. (yours in black) I understand what you are saying, but I have a different understanding of the nature and timing of the resurrection. Paul explained that the resurrection was the giving of a new body. You seemingly are making the same claim, in that you are...

In order to believe the word of God, one will need to read it correctly. The bible is not written to us. It is for us to learn about God that we might know him. To the Jews that were his chosen, the destruction of the temple and the tribulation they went through was terrible beyond anything...

Hopefully I can find what is from the Bible. Until I began to read the bible with understanding, I thought just like you. That would be what someone else told me. The truth, though, is the fact the scripture only agrees if one understands the meanings of words. This generation - when Jesus is...

It might also be about who is more concerned about my soul. Most of the time I have little first hand knowledge about the writer.

God has never felt the need to convince non-believers of anything. I will say this, Jesus said it would happen and it did. Believe it or not is no concern of mine either.

2Co_7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. When one repents, they will generally go on to complete their born again experience. That would be baptism in water and Spirit. Without the Spirit there is no eternal...

Regardless of the interpretation, there must have been a powerful presence of the Lord in that place. What a blessing you must have received.

2Pe 3:1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: 2Pe 3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: The Old...

Retrobyter, I feel you certainly must have some Greek background. But, my friend, you aren't really telling me I am wrong, you are telling the Greek scholars that translated that Greek to the English language that they did not understand Greek. I have enough faith in God that he would not make...
