    Why don’t you believe Satan has been defeated?

    Time, like the world, is created. Thus, separating that which is of the world from that which "is not of this world"...the ultimate truth regarding "when" Jesus was slain (though it came in the fulness of time according to what is written in the heaven) is "before the foundation of the world."...

    Why don’t you believe Satan has been defeated?

    This Jesus explained, saying that "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now." That being children, these things should rather come, "precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little.” But if I may...

    Why don’t you believe Satan has been defeated?

    I could tell you, but let me just say that I suggest or appeal, that many things that were first believed to mean one thing or not even looked at as any great thing--such as the mystery of marriage revealed some millennia after it was first brought into practice, and not fully understood until...

    Why don’t you believe Satan has been defeated?

    Why would you think this? Do you not think "it is finished" for those who have passed on "each in his own order?" Or that Christ did not knock on that door and entered in as promised, "each in his own order?" Are we to be the measure and time of when Jesus returns to everyone, and will they all...

    Why don’t you believe Satan has been defeated?

    Sure. "Nonsensical" may very well be the qualification that makes any number of biblical "hard sayings" actually true. Yet, it would appear that you mean to suggest that it qualifies to be just the opposite. Certainly among us, we could look at and debate such ideas as crazy, but when Jesus...

    Why don’t you believe Satan has been defeated?

    Since you have not been specific...do you mean to say that the premise here is as far off as to think that anyone born after the times of Christ who believes they "were crucified with Christ" 2,000 years ago, is being "nonsensical"...or any number of other hard biblical sayings that many think...

    Non-Trinitarians, Please Answer This

    This certainly gives the appearance of two distinct persons...but it does not reconcile "Emmanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” Matthew 1:23 to mean that Jesus is not God.

    Why don’t you believe Satan has been defeated?

    You have a few issues in there, so will probably get feedback on each. But your basic premise of things "shortly coming to pass" around that time--not 2,000+ years later, is absolutely correct. This premise is the same as "Today is the time of salvation." Meaning that the idea of a one-time...

    The Popular False Justification and False Sanctification View Today.

    All of those words were spoke to those who had not yet completely laid down their life giving it over to Christ, many of which were before salvation had even come. To these it was also told, "Many are called, but few chosen.” Which is to say, that [if] "anyone hears My voice and opens the door...

    Spotting Heretics

    Indeed, much of what Israel stumbled with has been repeated by the church...and some are even proud to claim it with boasting.

    If you found you were in the wrong faith, would you change?

    I should think that since Jesus was conclusive, that the matter was conclusive also, and that the thief was changed that very moment.

    Thy Kingdom come.

    :) We could do this until the cows come home. I would say those verses refer to food and fruit from heaven--the harvest in the earth.

    Are Muslims Allowed Here?

    Proverbs 10:12 Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins. Proverbs 15:18 A wrathful man stirs up strife, But he who is slow to anger allays contention. Proverbs 28:25 He who is of a proud heart stirs up strife, But he who trusts in the Lord will be prospered. Proverbs 29:22 An angry...

    A Mystery Revealed (for the first time).

    I guess that means you have not read of Paul's revealing of mysteries, true since the beginning but reserved until the appointed time.

    A Mystery Revealed (for the first time).

    I am not going to entertain your mockery of what Jesus clearly explained was "not revealed by flesh and blood but by My Father in heaven." Weeping and gnashing of teeth await.

    Concede Now, or Concede Later.

    You should really see someone about the blackouts you are obviously having....and missing things that have been posted.

    Spotting Heretics

    You know it was not opinion. Weeping and gnashing of teeth.

    Living, working and praying from Mars

    Hmmm...I must have missed that. Was it real, or in a movie?

    If you found you were in the wrong faith, would you change?

    Of course God has instructed us...however, it gets really simple when you consider the thief on the cross, who simply believed and then died.
