Trekson, God made a comment about what a day is to him, but he still knows what a day is to us. When speaking to humans, he will speak in our terms. Daniel 12 is speaking about the time Messiah would come, which was just a few hundred years away. Dan 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel...

Hi Trekson, The only correct way to read the bible with understanding is do not change words to mean something else. If I told you this is the generation that the Lord will return, you would not be thinking I meant 2000 years in the future. The disciples did not think that either. All through...

I agree that we not only need to study to show ourselves approved of God but we must also live our life as a Christian, which means Christ like. Had I been living during the time Jesus walked the earth, I would hope that I would not have been following the teaching the the Pharisees. Mat 23:23...

I can't tell if you agree or not, but we surely shouldn't can't say there are not any wolves in sheep clothing teaching and preaching in our churches. We need to understand the word of God for ourselves. 2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they...

Is it hard to understand the bible? No. Is it hard to understand teachers explanation of the bible? In many cases, yes. So why is it there are so many interpretations of God’s word. For the most part it is because people do not study for themselves and they become just like a parrot...

Hi Christian, This will teach me to research instead of writing something I was taught. Thank you for your input.

1 Cor 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spirital gifts. One is not restricted to just one or two but just go ahead and pray for others. As long as they are used for the glory of God. Corinthians speaks of the gifts (plural) but when we do a word search on 'gift' singular we find something...

Adam, who was a sinless man, was told not to eat of the tree of knowledge or he would die that day. God is all knowing and he knew how to communicate to Adam in human terms. Adam did die the day he ate, but it had to be a spiritual death because he lived here on earth hundreds of years after he...

Hi Trekson, Missed that one, thank you for sharing. Hi, Son of Man You got me. Thanks Hi justaname, Much symbolic language can be interpreteted by other scripture, many can not. Take the eagle wing coming out of the lion, some prophecy teachers say it refers to USA. No scriptural proof...

Judgement came upon the Jews because they rejected him. No where does it say that Christians will have a judgement day. To become a Christian I had to repent of my sins and God forgave me and cast my sins as far away as the east is from the west and then he covered me with his blood. And since...

Arnie, The people outside the gate are non-christians of today. We are living in the age you are calling paradise, but in the body of Christ. We are in the world but not of the world.

Arnie, Again I say that the book of Revelation is in symbolic language so please allow me to quote a few scriptures. Rev 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city...

Bible never says there would be 7 years of tribulation, but tribulation did happen. It was around 70 AD when the Roman army destroyed Jerusalem and the temple. Read 'War of the Jews" written by a Jew who lived thru it: http://www.ccel.org/j/josephus/works/war-1.htm In order to understand the...

Hi Arnie, Easy enough to say that Revelation is written in symbolic language and we have to look at other parts of the bible for explanation. Jerusalem is the place where the temple had been build, the same place that Abraham went to offer up Isaac, and the place where Jacob had his vision. It...

It is a before and after situation. Jesus came unto his own (the Jews, and they were his focus before he was crucified) and his own received him not (his own had him crucified and now he would take a new bride of whosoever will).

The bible is about God and his covenant with man. First with Jews (old testament) then with whosoever will (new testament). No where does God speak about anyone else receiving blessings and curses except for these. So when one sees God speaking of a harlot we just need to look at scripture to...

Hi Michael Absolutely correct in all that you say. One thing I have also noticed at most churches is that they are family businesses.

You have quoted the gifts (plural) and they are important. But the most important of all is not a part of the gifts, but it is the gift (singular). Joh 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest...

God gives gifts that are for edification of the church body. Other talents that one has must have come from God, though the bible doesn't say, but they are used to edifiy others and/or yourself. For sure you can continue to use them in God's kingdom. 1. Gifts - When used as being plural: It...

Wayne, Give what you determine in your heart. In the old testament tithing was required because the Levites could not own land, therefore could not raise their own crops or livestock. Do not let anyone tell you that you must give 10% of your income, it just isn't in the new testament and we are...
