Hi Retro, Excellent points all the way through.

Hi Naomi, Your words: “Um. There is a reason for 'hermeneutics', and sadly, your comment on letting the HS guide you on the book is one of them. How many people do you think are out there who do the same thing for all of scripture? And how many do you think are getting it right?” Hopefully, all...

Hi Naomi, Your words: “For example, when John see's a Lamb, we know it's Jesus, not a literal lamb. But to follow the literal hermeneutic, it has to be an actual lamb. It seems to me that the 'literal' camp, picks and chooses what things 'has' to be literal or figurative; which is dodgy. Saying...

Hi smc, I believe that the millennial promises that can be described as the "lion laying down with a lamb", etc. are for the nation of Israel in the millennium. Of course, they will only be able to enter in by accepting Christ as their Messiah. Aside from the 144,000, imo, the rest, both jew and...

This discussion appears to have been abandoned. Maybe something came across that couldn't be refuted. Anyone else interested in continuing the conversation?

Hi Emekrus, Your words: "And for people to have a “now word” from God, it will require a massive restoration of the prophetic ministry to the church, with appropriate, scriptural administration by church leaders." Don't be discouraged by the naysayers. There is a difference between a revival in...

Personally, I believe we all receive Him at salvation but as we grow more mature in our walk we get filled a little more.

Hi WW, Parables are short stories. As in any story, it's not the intro that counts, it's the end of the story. There are three short parables in a row in Matt. 13. The wheat and the tares (1), the mustard seed (2) and the leaven (3). They all have somewhat common themes but come from different...

Hi WW, Your words:"Matthew also says quite clearly in Matthew 16:28 sums it up, “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom” So, was Jesus lying?" No, He wasn't lying but the answer isn't as...

Hi Thorwald, Your words: "Remember, that the city has FOUNDATIONS, so it must rest on the earth." Not necessarily. Rev. 21:10 says: "And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God," It's...

Hi Naomi, Your words: "As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches. (Revelation 1:20) He just informed John that the picture, or vision...

Hi Naomi, Your words: "I'm truly not sure that it matters who is right or wrong in this situation." On a personal level you're correct, it doesn't matter who is right or wrong but for our witness to the world it matters a great deal! I imagine that if I was an unbeliever and you told me that by...

Hi WW, I’m selecting some of the comments you made in your first paragraph to discuss: “Surely, you would not disagree that Jesus came to establish the Kingdom of God, correct? We have been given the kingdom and have been seated above all principalities and powers in spiritual places. So yes...

Hi Retro, Glad to see you're still around. Just wanted to stop in and say, Hi!

Hi Naomi, Your words: "The second reason is that every verse that speaks of Christ's return in the NT, that speaks of 'The Day of the Lord', or the signs of the times...anything regards end time....it seems quite clear that it's all speaking of a single event." In a way it is and in a way it...

I agree with you that the Bible works together as a whole. However, the prophecies of Daniel speak of Christ's first coming, not his second. It is the Premillennial Dispensationalist that somehow turns Rome, the fourth beast, into ANOTHER future Rome from whence comes the Antichrist and end of...

Hi WW, Your words: “I was trying to help you understand how I see the structure of Revelation. One of the problems I have with Dispensational Premillennialism is that it relies so heavily on importing other texts into Revelation in order to try to build its view. For instance, Revelation 20...

Hi Wormwood, Your words: “One doesn't look at the various dreams and visions in Daniel and insist that one must follow the other in chronological order because one follows the other sequentially in the book. No, they both refer to the same period of time but God gives different images to...

I would say that each distance of length, breadth and height are equally 1377 miles. (KJ Study Bible) Obviously, it won't rest on the earth but will hover above it.

My bible says 1377 miles.
