    Question about the M kingdom

    Yes. I think we’re all watching at the moment.

    Question about the M kingdom

    I’m doing well, thanks! I’ve been very, very busy, which is why I haven’t been around much. The last couple of months, I think, everything just decided “let’s go now!”, so I’ve been juggling commitments and really haven’t had much personal time. Which is ok, you know...it’s not a bad thing when...

    Question about the M kingdom

    Hi Daniel, thanks for your reply. I am aware of all (well, baring some of the more fringe) beliefs people hold in regards to the Millennium. I myself would say I have held, and suppose I still do hold to a more Amillennial sort of framework. And yes, the passage in 1 Corinthians 15 plays a big...

    why God did it

    It could be as you suggest, that God rolled things out the way they played in order than no man, or angel, or created thing, would have an excuse. Because it’s true, we don’t. However, I think it more a matter of glory. Ephesians 1:4-12 [4] For he chose us in him, before the foundation of the...

    Question about the M kingdom

    You know, the more I learn, the less I’m inclined to be dogmatic on certain issues. Like this one, for instance. I don’t believe the 1000 to be referring to a literal time, simply because of the book its within and how numbers are primarily used in that book. But as to how Christ will choose to...

    John Darby

    Hi! We did, thank you...hope you did as well. I can’t say that I ever read any Darby, to be honest. He’s obviously well known in eschatological circles. I’d....probably have to say that I haven’t pursued reading him because it doesn’t hold much weight with me whether or not he did “come up with”...

    Hi farouk, hope you all had a blessed Christmas. It was fairly busy for us too, but wonderful, catching up with family we haven’t seen for some time. So, yes, we’re resting up too!

    John Darby

    I'll have to take your word for that! I think reading the Church Fathers is good and fascinating, but I so don't have the time for it! I'm so very glad you get value and worth from it! I think what has gone before us matters.

    Poll: Tattoo art - Christian perspectives: Fight it? Ignore it? appreciate/embrace it?

    I don't know 'satisfied' is the right word. I think it's more....she's struggled with anxiety all her life, which has meant a lot of things have been closed off to her. She just hasn't been 'brave enough' to step up to them. So...when I can see she really wants something and just needs a tiny...

    John Darby

    Absolutely, but...this is not always simple. For example, the hermeneutical approach for Amillennialists...covenantal theologians, is actually quite different from Premillinnialist...so, to truly understand the 'arguments' of the Premillinnialist, I've almost had to un-teach myself to think one...

    Well...me too...but some people experience summer and winter in such a more....mild sense! Something to look forward to in the new heavens and earth! At the very least there I hope I won't feel the heat as much!

    Poll: Tattoo art - Christian perspectives: Fight it? Ignore it? appreciate/embrace it?

    Ah...that would be a no! She's wanted to do it for ages. Her father said "No! Wait til your 18 or have moved out!" So, she did. It didn't really bother me too much, so she often talked to me about it, and when she decided to take the plunge, she begged me to with her to hold her hand....chicken...

    John Darby

    That's fine! I don't see it, but I know plenty of fine, fine people who do. I've actually been digging into Historic Premillennialism over the last couple of months. It's still not Dispensationalism, but still some distance away from Amillennialism. I'm finding it interesting...there are many...

    Lol! Snow is soooo far from here. We are at 41 (thats 105 for you I think) and it's terribly windy and dusty. Ug...I hate it! Why can't I live somewhere that is perpetually Spring??

    Poll: Tattoo art - Christian perspectives: Fight it? Ignore it? appreciate/embrace it?

    Well...she just went and got her nose pierced. So i'd say...yeah!

    John Darby

    You know, I didn't know Darby had written songs until I saw, not that long ago, posted by someone on here. Its interesting, isn't it, that he's really only known for one legacy. I wonder if its the legacy he would have wanted, or if he'd had preferred to be known for the songs. It makes you...

    Hi Farouk! We're fine, thanks for asking. Just been super busy is all. Spring/summer is busy season for our business and I've also had to dig into some homeschooling paperwork too (ug!) Hope you and yours are ok!

    John Darby

    You say "I’m beginning to wonder what is the point, because we all have different perspective and are all equally convinced", and its something that I often wonder. So many within Christianity itself claim to be "Spirit-led" in opposite directions. Which cannot be right...truth is not...

    John Darby

    Again...I think you are missing the 'already/not yet' implications of the kingdom. The 'engaged couple' and the 'married couple' are still the same people, but the marriage is the full and complete state of what the engagement promised and foreshadowed. As the Christian, we partake of and...

    John Darby

    Does the fact that, as Christians, we are encouraged to strive to be more Christ-like, actually mean that we can or will, become as Christ, in this life? And by that I mean: having defeated sin and death and left sorrow behind. Because...the text doesn't state that...just that it is good for...
