Regarding 3 days and 3 nights being a Jewish idiom: I debunked this misconception about 10 months ago. Here is an excerpt: 2nd Point and most damaging. I am going to refer to an actual Rabbi. Rabbi David Markel Hall: "It is claimed that the reference in Matthew 12:40 is an idiom in attempt to...

I'm still trying to get through Augustine.

Does anyone remember how this got started? During the Democratic primaries (not the general election) between Hillary and Sanders information was leaked that was very damaging to both Hillary and the DNC. It painted a pretty ugly picture of Hillary and a worse one of the DNC which clearly...

And whether anyone wants to hear it or not, here is the third point I would like to address. To recap my first two points: 1. While it may be possible to get a rough idea of when the Bible says the end of the world will come, God isn't concerned with us figuring it out; he wants us to be...

Well, we are trying your spirit... And be in my case, your spirit went silent! When confronted with my spirit, yours chose to ignore. Your spirit shut the hell up.

I would support and challenge that thread. But then again, I'm wacky.

Did you consider all of 1 Cor 14 or did you just quote or missquote the verses you liked? I never did hear you agree to the notion that everything should be done descently and in order.

I don't see him as resisting the proud. He was the proud! You suffered him well. Give someone enough time and they will produce enough rope to hang themselves.

Amen! And I am quite confident that God will reward you appropriately as well.

It appears that Bobby Jo is frustrated. Whether that person is a guy or girl makes no difference to me.

Learning comes in many ways, my friend. He may have not given you any new information. He may have not been a new battle. But that doesn't mean you didn't learn something. A wrestler, boxer and martial artist will learn something every time he faces a new opponent. Maybe not a great...

Huh? Huh? Physically I am here. Spiritually I am not of this world. That's a clear Bible concept. All Children of God can claim it. I am not alone. Yeah, I know! And we haven't even stratched the surface! Well darn! I thought you would like that one! Seems to me that Israel regaining...

Yep. That was my point. If I am wrong in believing that, I am not foolish. Again, I am not setting a date other than being ready for it tomorrow. In other words, I am striving to be prepared at all times. This what I believe the scripture is telling us.

Well, mine for one. But while you say you love the buts, you really don't address the theme, do you? Should things be done decently and in order? Yep.,. By God's way. Perhaps not by yours. Again, God's way sometimes means shutting up and listening. You didn't seem to have much to say...

Did you, now? I see you referencing your own understanding and J.R. Black. But I don't recall you saying what the year will be. I see a few references to scripture that I have already agreed to. But the world didn't end in 1948. I ask all the others following this thread. Did you see...

Absolutely! We should! And yes, there should be Psalms, doctrine, tongues (not my favorite but it's there), revelation and interpretation. But the theme of this chapter is missed. The theme comes in the last verse of this chapter: 1 Cori 1 Corinthians 14:40 KJV Let all things be done...

I want to move on to other matters concerning the OP. Before I do let me recap my thoughts on knowing "when". Mat 24 gives us many clues, but only 2 that apply to today. That is, 1. This gospel shall be preached in all the world; and 2. The parable of the fig tree. That's all well and good...

I don't see where it does. If you do by all means give us that year and week. You have been saying scripture does yet you havent said what it was. Again, the parable of the fifth tree is a possibility. I stand by my statement. These scripture are not about us knowing when; they are...

I have no problem with 1 These. 5. Let's have a look: 1 Thessalonians 5:2 KJV For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. In the first verse Paul said there was no reason for him to write to them concerning such. The reason is that they knew what...

Maybe I will answer that some other time. I'd rather comment on the points made in the OP. I'll start with the first one. Jesus said in the 24th chapter of Matthew that of that day and hour no man knoweth. The entire chapter is filled with warning signs and time stamps. So by these we do...
