Perhaps, because I'm a male of the species, I've always been uncomfortable with the description of the church as the Bride of Christ. As I've listened to various pre-trib preachers use the constant references of us as the bride of Christ, the discomfort has increased as I've sensed that this...

In a post sure to outrage many, I'll share what I see is the difference between the body and the bride, but to all you potential haters just remember, it's only a different perspective, I'm NOT claiming it to be the gospel.

Rom. 12 might beg to differ.

Perhaps a perusing of Luke 8:12-14 would help. To be an apostate one has to be a true believer first, just like for a person to become a believer, they must have been an unrepentant sinner at one time.

I also answered this one in my reply to Enoch, a servant usually doesn't officially betroth their master.

I agree it's an assumption but there are way too many logical and scientific realities to assume God created the whole universe only 6000 yrs. ago. I believe both young earthers and anti-creationists are also assuming because they are not grounding their beliefs on ALL the facts, just what we...

Not really because the "time" and world before the fall, God chose not to share too much. We are only told of things that began after the fall. That would be Adam's "birthday" because that is the day he began to die. So who do you think the "others" were that Cain was concerned about? Boogeymen??

The Nephilim were already here. Gen. 6:4, they were not "produced" from inter-mating.

So where do you think the bazillion demons, evil spirits, etc. plaguing the world come from? They are cast out angels of different rankings.

Sometimes to get the deeper truths you have to see what the bible doesn't say in relation to what it does. Half a fact, is not a fact.

Was what he did abominable? Yes, But that is not what the "a of d" will be.

Not quite true Enoch, the bible comes right out and calls us His Body, btw that's not a metaphor and when the church learns this perhaps we could do a better job! (Understanding this will bring you closer to the identity of the church in a wedding scenario) 1Cor. 3:9 calls us God's building...

Why do you think it isn't? Maybe that is exactly who the sons of God are and he counts on us to use our brains to figure that out. Or, maybe it's none of our business and we only need to concern ourselves with what God has revealed to us. The world couldn't contain the books about what Christ...

I don't believe so, the fact is if a prophecy isn't 100% fulfilled, it's not fulfilled, period. There just is no way anyone can honestly say that all the parameters of Dan. 9:24 have been fulfilled without falling into the trap of questionable symbolism.

I am not pretrib, I am prewrath and that means we believe the GT is upon the church as a result of Rev. 12:17 and the 5th seal, so yes, I am as physically and spiritually prepared as I can be at this time!

Yes, that is what it says, however we these parameters in Gen. 3:16 - "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." If Eve hadn't had any children...

With all due respect...No. The first verse is a metaphor, the second verse was answered in my reply to Enoch's #98, the third does NOT identify this group as the church, that is an assumption, also answered in my reply to Enoch. Don't you think it is significant that in all his teachings and...

. None of this is scripturally based, it is all assumed because of a couple of metaphors.

Scripture also doesn't mention a lengthy time period, 4000 yrs. for the prophecy of Gen. 3:15 to be fulfilled, it also doesn't mention a "gap" of 700 yrs. before Is. 53 would be fulfilled. Doesn't mean they weren't there.

Can't prove it, but I believe it is talking about Satan. Physically on earth in the garden (was), he was banished from the earth and now stands before the throne being an accuser of the church (similar to Job, is not). He becomes the (one yet to come) when he possesses the body of the a/c (7th...
