    Israel is the focus of the millennium

    Hi Retro, I really don't think there is anyway to get around the notion that it talks about sin offerings. "During the seven days of the festival, which begins in the seventh month on the fifteenth day, he is to make the same provision for sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings and...

    No One Dies And Goes To Heaven. It is not the Gospel of Christ.

    If Jesus sit on the right hand of God and God throne is in the heavens is there not at least one person in heaven?

    My Scripture Can Beat Up Your Scripture

    Dear SC, The total truth is not attainable becasue we are not yet perfected. We all have approximations of the truth and I believe that the truth we think we have is less than what we may suspect. I am not quite sure what you are trying to get at by saying that I wish for everyone to...

    Israel is the focus of the millennium

    Hi MT, Cringe all your like but the fact remains is that the end of the book of Ezekiel shows exactly that. They do not have the knowledge of Christ and are put back under that law for about a thousand years.

    How do you then explain the latter chapters of Ezekiel?

    Heavenly Bodies

    Hi Butch, 2 Peter 3:10, "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." So are you honest trying to say to...

    New Heavens and New Earth

    Hi All, Clear scripture always trumps vague scripture. You cannot say the verses in Peter and Revelations do not mean what they say simply because you pile vague scripture upon vague scripture.

    My Scripture Can Beat Up Your Scripture

    Perhaps it should be said that none of us understand the total truth. We all have some portion of the truth else we could not walk in the light. I would say, though, that all of us possess far less of the the truth than we might imagine.

    Polygamy

    Hi DF, Just to put a fine point on this discussion, do you believe that if, Abraham Jacob (the father of the whole nation of Israel) David, Solomon Gideon The Father of Samson The Father of Abraham Were living in the NT that they would all be counted, accourding to your theology, as...

    Heavenly Bodies

    A principle of hermeneutics is that vague scripture does not trump clear scriptures. In other words these scriptures which are open to interpretation do not countermand the clear scripture in Peter. The restitution of all things could mean, in my theological view, taking mankind back to his...

    Polygamy

    I think that ZH made a very valid point. At first he thought negatively about the notion of polygamy but then studied it out in scripture and, even though he personally does not prefer it, he changed His mind to align with God's word. This type of willingness to take a look at things that are...

    My Scripture Can Beat Up Your Scripture

    Yes, but do believe the Holy Spirit. I believe that God has revealed Himself in times past in many and diverse manors. In these Last days He has done so through His Son Jesus Christ. However, it was expedient for Jesus to leave so that the comforter i.e. the Holy Spirit (simply God for He is...

    What does it mean to be Born Again

    Hi H, You are right that we are talking of two different aspects of the same thing. However, I don't believe that the taking of a new direction of life is the actual event of being born again. Perhaps you could say that the born agian process is a event that happens over time culminating in...

    My Scripture Can Beat Up Your Scripture

    I differ with you Big D. Does not it say in john 16:13, "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come." Are we not goaded by the...

    Polygamy

    Dear DF, You wrote, "Adam disobeyed the only negative commandment God had given him, and for that, he and Eve lost their right to eat of the tree of life. Having cursed the ground for Adam's sake, God didn't 'have an issue' with them? When their descendants filled the earth with evil...

    Heavenly Bodies

    I must firmly disagree with you Butch. The very atomos (smallest thing that the greek languaged had a word for) are burned up. No, there is nothing left. 2 Peter 3:10

    My Scripture Can Beat Up Your Scripture

    The only constant is the Holy Spirit. If everyone would submit to Him I believe we would come into agreement.

    Polygamy

    Once again...my proof text has not been acknowledged. Why are people so willingly blinded?

    Heavenly Bodies

    Hi Grace, This is my take on the New Heavens and New Earth. I think that it will be a totally new creation except that we, who are born again, inhabit it. I believe it will be close to what the world would have been had Adam and Eve never sinned. I think God will pretty much go back to the...
