Huh. This is interesting. Can you comment on what you think about those who say that Isaiah 30:26 is to be understood ‘figuratively, not literally’, since it would ‘burn up the earth itself’. Would that mean that it’s a direct reference to 2 Peter 3:10-12? And how does that relate to your idea...

I often think that perhaps God does it for a reason. Differences bring conversation. Conversation bring defence…defence brings study and study brings people back to the word. Well…it should! If we’re all trying to talk about what we think about, disagree about, are trying to defend, then we...

I haven’t seen hers yet…she lives about 17 hours away. Keep waiting til I visit…which keeps being put off thanks to Covid restrictions. Yay Australia!

Absolutely. Plus, life experiences…the way people think. Who we listen to…etc. The thing that fascinates me is….God totally knew it would work out this way. You would THINK he’d want unity in his people, when it came to understanding his word. And yet, he would have known how it would be…and I...

Lol! Like her Aunt HAS! My sister confessed to me not long ago that she got a sneaky little tattoo of a cross on her wrist. She has forbidden me from telling our parents, as she’s worried they’ll freak out. I’m pretty sure after some of the stuff my daughter’s done that a tiny tattoo is...

Well, I like to…but I’ve no doubt there are those who think I’m totally butchering the intent. It’s always just a little baffling to me how so many people can…quite honestly see totally different things in the same passages.

Absolutely! Once you’ve seen the idea behind the divine council, you see references to it everywhere!

Interesting side point: Inter-testimental Jews all believed (we know this from various writings) that the ‘unclean spirits’ and ‘demons’ that would oft possess and torment people, were actually the spirits of the dead Nephilim giants. It’s actually rather fascinating to look into. Sorry, pretty...

That the Rapture and second coming are one event, I’m down with. I’ve got that, thanks. What I don’t follow, agree with, or see anywhere in scripture…or believe you have proven by it, is that the Day of the Lord spoken of in the NT is the 1000 years we see in Rev 20.

I’m gonna ignore the resurrection statement. Like I said in my last post. I think we’ve been there, done that…not gonna agree. *forehead slap* “the earth is free of Satan for 1000 years” So. You didn’t read the passages from Rev 20 I put up, then. Where….where…does it say that “the earth is...

I thought it best to just ask. Sometimes I just totally…miss…what people are trying to say. Completely me. But yeah, I agree…its always a little dangerous when people start spouting off on their own authority.

:rolleyes: We’ve been over this. But fine. Wanna walk through it again? John 5:24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. John 8:51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone...

Who’s dismissing the Rapture? What I’m dismissing is your less than honest trolling.

Forgive me if I misrepresented exactly what you meant, I did not mean to. But in a way, this is sort of a perfect example to illustrate my point. When I said ‘multiple births’, I was categorising it with ‘multiple resurrections’, as I thought you were. Let me try and explain. We see people...

Once again, I’m scrabbling to keep up with your logic. None of these sentences seem connected in my mind. “There is no 3.5 years of peace leading up to the Second Coming”. ….who said there was? “The Second Coming is the unexpected part of the whole book of Revelation”…there can be an...

It’s got nothing to do with ‘direct obedience’. Let’s really look at what Revelation is saying about Satan’s “binding”: Revelation 20:1-3 [1] Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. [2] And he seized the dragon, that...

Semantics. Look again at HOW it is describes we are given life when we “born again”: John 5:24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. John 8:51 Truly, truly, I say to...

Forgive me, but…are you suggesting that the quotes I gave were not from scripture? Because I can most certainly list the verses they came from if you wish. I do agree, that one must back ones claims with scripture. I did not in the above case because during the conversation I’d been having, the...

Yes, we are praying for her…trusting in God ultimately too. It’s not like we all haven’t made some idiotic decisions when we were young! Yes, those are the two nose ones she has, and no…I won’t be surprised if she gets ‘ink’. Again, I truly don’t mind. My biggest concern is her relationship with...
