Hi Junobet, Your words: “I know that I know nothing, but I am very much certain that Moses did not write the Pentateuch. You’d hardly write of yourself in the third person nor could you write about your own death. Also you’d stick to one creation story rather than giving two different stories.”...

Hi Junobet, Your words: "Today we know that Genesis 1+2 were never written to tell us how and in what order this world came into being. These are two different texts from different times fused together." Do we "know" that or is it assumed? There are several places in the bible, most biblical...

Hi Junobet, To answer your question, "So why should a creationist assume that God had no pre-existing matter at His disposal when Genesis 1 very much seems to state otherwise?" I can only speak for myself and I really can't explain why I believe this but this is what I believe. Do I think the...

Hi Junobet, I don't really know what those guys notions were but I don't believe there was anything that God didn't create. My notion of the big bang theory is God snapping His fingers, Jesus speaking the words and the HS providing the bang at the moment it was thought...Let there be...

In my opinion, the word blasphemy means just what the Strong's says it does.The word blasphemy itself means to speak evil things against God and making outrageous claims against God. Blasphemy of the HS is to take the miracles and works of the HS and knowing better still attribute them to evil...

A Different Look at Genesis I thought it would be interesting to write about this instead of end-times for a change. Some of you may have read bits and pieces of my thoughts on this but I thought it was time I put them altogether into one comprehensive piece. I am a creationist but I'm also...

The thought occurred to me as I was discussing this topic with another member that if we go back to the statue of Dan. 2. There are TWO legs of iron. I don’t think it’s far-fetched to consider them the two parts of the Roman Empire, the Western AND Eastern parts. Rome CANNOT be considered as...

In the hopes of starting a conversation and not an argument, I'd like to restart the Genesis issue. I'm going to voice an opinion for starters. I believe that Eve could have had hundreds or thousands of children before Cain. What say you?

Hi Mozzie, Okay, I’ve got to admit that it was the word “ponderings” that attracted me to this article. That happens to be one of my favorite words as it is an exercise I do a lot of! I certainly can’t offer expert opinion but I’ll put in my three cents anyways. Your words: “In Chapters 1 and...

The definition of “symbolism” is “the practice of representing things by means of symbols or of attributing symbolic meanings or significance to objects, events or relationships.” In my opinion, those who interpret scripture, especially prophetic scriptures emphasizing symbolism are off track...

Hi Keras, I think your Re the kingdom reply should have been to Naomi.

Good points, Mozzie

Hi Keras, We've been over this a few times and I don't want to go through the whole debate again but I will answer your questions. Your words: "The whole thing about a rapture to heaven is why would God do it?" 1. Because we are not appointed to wrath. 2. To keep His promise. See John 14:2-3...

The Kingdoms of the Dragon I started off today intending to write about one topic but in the midst of my studies God led me in a completely different direction. Has that ever happened to you? No matter what viewpoint a student of prophecy starts with, we mostly all have one thing we believe...

Hi Keras, I believe the signs of the 6th seal will herald His return for the rapture per Luke 21:28. I believe our arrival in heaven is depicted in Rev. 7:9. I don't believe the 6th seal is part of the wrath just the final warning that the wrath of the Lamb is about to begin with the trumpets...

Hi Keras, No I haven't changed my position, I've always been pre-wrath which is not the same as pre-trib.

Interesting again, you were the one implying I was ignorant. I'm just calling you on it!

Prov. 3:5-7a - "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes:..." 1 Cor. 1:27 - "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of...

Everything I believe and say can be backed up with other scriptures. The bible is written so that a child can understand it who has zero knowledge of hermeneutics, styles and genres. It's when we try to insert our intelligences over the simplicity of the truths is where people tend to go astray...
