    The End of the World has come and we missed it!

    I understand that the battle of Masada came after the destruction of the temple. On the 10th of August, in A.D. 70 -- the 9th of Av -- in Jewish reckoning, the very day when the King of Babylon burned the Temple in 586 B.C., the Temple was burned again. Titus took the city and put it to the...

    Why Should the Church Endure the Great Trib?

    Hi TWC, Totally agree with you! Rom 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Not all the decendants of Abraham are chrildren of Israel Rom 9:7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac...

    The End of the World has come and we missed it!

    Precisely what happened to the Jews when the temple was destroyed in 70 AD. Thank you!

    Where's REAL Bible Teaching Gone?

    Hi Veteran, I am with you, especially about reading and explaining. But the only way one can apply real understanding (I believe) is by study, not by what other people say. Hermenuetics must be taught again in the church or it will continue its fall. Here is a free book on hermenuetics that...

    The End of the World has come and we missed it!

    Hello Veteran, There are other historians that date the time of the writting earlier. We also know that the temple was important to the disciples and yet in the book of Revelation nothing was said about it being destroyed. As a matter of fact: Rev 11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a...

    Why Should the Church Endure the Great Trib?

    Hi Trekson, 2Pe 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; Mat 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together...

    Why did the Pharisees reject Christ and are will better than them?

    Much of the problem that is in the church today is prophecy teaching. Prior to Israel becoming a nation again, there was a revival going on in America and the rest of the world. The Holy Ghost and the Pentecostal movement was alive and growing. When Israel became a nation the prophecy teachers...

    The End of the World has come and we missed it!

    Hi afaithful1, So many prophecy teachers of today, say the same as you. It does not line up with scripture. You changed the scripture to read the way you want it to read. To understand what was said in the scripture we do these steps: 1. Who is speaking - Jesus 2. To whom is it directed - The...

    What does it mean to be Born Again

    Hi again, You have given much thought to your post and I commend you for it. However, just a little more study time can bring it all together for everyone. Please allow me to make a point about hermenuetics. 1. The Old Testament was written to the Jews, and was for them. 2. The gospels in the...

    What does it mean to be Born Again

    Justin, I have wrote of this in another forum, so this time allow me to just use my own words. In Matthew 24 Jesus said the temple in Jerusalem would be totally destroyed. The disciples ask, 'when will these things be, the sign of thy coming and the end of the world?. The Greek word translated...

    What does it mean to be Born Again

    Hi Justin, We don't like to look at the dead this way, but we were born dead spiritually. Adam was alive spiritually, but he died the day he ate of the tree. Since then no man has been born with eternal life. Even the body of Jesus died, but because he had no sin in him, death could not hold...

    What does it mean to be Born Again

    Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye...

    The End of the World has come and we missed it!

    In the New Testament the word 'WORLD' is used many times. In many cases it was the Greek word 'aion' which according to the dictionary should be translated as *properly an age, other times the Greek word is 'kosmos' *by implication the world. So one must check to see if 'world' used in the...

    The Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven

    Hi Axehead, I have been perusing the content of this post and feel we are over looking the scripture. Mat 16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Mat 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus had asked "whom say ye that I...

    Proof: being born-again is different than being “baptized with the Holy Spirit”

    Thanks for the kind words John, One scripture does not contradict another. So, either your sources are wrong or the bible is wrong. I am willing to look if you have any evidence to the contrary.

    Proof: being born-again is different than being “baptized with the Holy Spirit”

    The scriptures say what they say. I am not the one who changes anything. Nice to know you think I would fit in your group, but no thanks! Hi John, The scriptures are not my conclusions, they are God's. How do you feel I have changed them? Are you judging me or the bible? Give the scripture...

    Proof: being born-again is different than being “baptized with the Holy Spirit”

    Let me say this first, we don't know if he was baptized or not, but we do know that the Holy Ghost had not yet been given. This is something that comes up often. The answer is, the thief had no knowledge of God's new covenant plan of salvation. He was still living in the age of law. Peter...

    Proof: being born-again is different than being “baptized with the Holy Spirit”

    With all due respect, Bible scholars are many times wrong when compared to scripture; Jesus said we must be born again of the water and the Spirit Joh 3:5 Act 8:36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be...

    Proof: being born-again is different than being “baptized with the Holy Spirit”

    I no intention of proving a doctrine. I am just saying that Jesus said we must be born of the water and the Spirit to enter into the kingdom of God. One can receive the Holy Ghost and not be baptized. Or one can be baptized and not have the Holy Ghost and I concur. In this thread John said that...
