    Revelation was written during Nero's reign before 70AD

    veteran, Why does your opinion carry more weight than others? I say it has already happened, prove me wrong! As my Grandmother use to ask the preacher, "Scripture, please"!

    Discovery Confirms Jerusalem Drought During Siege

    Angelina, If you haven't already read The Wars of the Jews, you will be surprised by how many things happened in Jerusalem and the temple before the Roman army came and destroyed it all. There was famine, destruction, killing of the population, stealing food and setting fire to everything the...

    Revelation was written during Nero's reign before 70AD

    veteran, Who could measure the temple if it had been destroyed? Rev 11:1 Those historians that claim a later date that 70 AD did not read the book.

    Scripture interpretation ?

    All humans, since Adam and Eve, are born spiritually dead. Why is it spiritual? Because Jesus said he kingdom is spiritual. By this we know the day Adam ate of the tree he died spiritually. Jesus brings back that spiritual life, but we must be born again of the water (baptism) and the Spirit...

    Recieving the Holy Spirit and Him working in your life

    Jb, Jesus did say we must be born again of the water and the Spirit. Even if we do not understand it, the disciples did. When one had received the Holy Ghost they would then command them to be baptized. By study of the scripture we find that baptizm in water was when one would receive the...

    Are we reading the same Bible?

    There are three that bare record in heaven and these three are one - 1John 5:7 Father - Creator of all things Son - God with us Holy Ghost - God in us The scriptures can say 'he' to anyone of these and is still speaking about the only true God. Hear ye O Israel, the Lord thy God is one. The...

    Are we reading the same Bible?

    Just as there is only one God, so Spirit (when captalized) speaks of the same. John 4:24 God is Spirit (capitalized) and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. The truth is, God is the one and only God and in order to worship him we must first accept that truth.

    Are we reading the same Bible?

    Jesus was a man and he was God. As a man he did many things as a man, praying to God is one of them. As God he healed the sick, cast out devils, etc. As a Christian, I have God in me but I still make human decisions. Even though Jesus had the fullness of God in him, he also made human...

    Are we reading the same Bible?

    BiggAndyy, Not trying to split hairs, but just because you believe it, does not make it biblical. God is able to function in many different capacities but it does not say he coverses with anyone else, other than with himself, certainly not with some other person. Believe as you please, but...

    Are we reading the same Bible?

    None are true. Even #4 is not scriptural, for God is a Spirit, not a person.

    Recieving the Holy Spirit and Him working in your life

    Live for God easy and it will be hard. Live for God hard, and it will be easy. Jesus said that we must be born again of the water and the Spirit. One should not question as to why, do it by faith. Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of...

    What was tithing?

    The Levites were not given a portion of the land God had promised to the other children of Israel, instead they were to attend to the tabernacle. They were to have the cities and some grazing land for livestock. Lev 27:32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever...

    Mystery Babylon the Mother of Harlots

    Eric, When one does a word search of harlot/whore in the bible, they will find that the only harlot God mentions with concern is Jerusalem. That is the one who went a whoring after other gods. Veteran, Good scriptural response. Nothing to add to that.

    Pre Tribulation rapture of the Church

    Josephus was inside the walls, he was allowed to come and go as he pleased. He was not a Christian nor did he try to speak for the Christians. He does without knowing, write about the tribulation that Jesus spoke about, about the hunger of the people, killing their babies for food, etc. If you...

    Pre Tribulation rapture of the Church

    Enoch, The second coming was in 70 AD, still in the disciples generation. Since Jesus told the disciples that the destruction of the temple would be the evidence that he had come, we should need any farther truth. However, Josephes, a Jewish historian did write about the tribulation that was...

    The proper and harmonious interpretation of Romans 11:25 [split from another topic]

    All of Israel shall be saved, All of Israel is every person of faith, Jews and Gentiles alike. No faith, no salvation. For by grace you are saved through faith, that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. Eph 2:8

    Pre Tribulation rapture of the Church

    daq, All prophecy has been fulfilled. When reading the bible we have to realize that whoever is writeing is not writeing to you and me. Peter was writeing to other saints that was living at the time he wrote it. Jesus had told them that judgement would come in their generation and that the...

    So....The New Earth and Heaven

    Pre Tribulation rapture of the Church

    daq, Jesus responded to them, that the sons of this age (law) marry. To those (of them) accounted worthy to make it to that age (grace) and to the resurrection (which would be at the time of the destruction of the temple) would now have eternal life. We today can receive eternal life when we...

    Pre Tribulation rapture of the Church

    Retro, Jesus did indeed say that he had come to fulfill all things. Luk 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms...
