Hi Rocky, Your words: "If a preacher preaches a message on a passage and you have not heard it preached that way do you discount the preacher as being in error?" If it doesn't line up with rest of scripture, then yes!

Hi Retro, Regarding Heb. 11:1 – “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” Your words: “Faith is NOT hoping for things or not seeing things; it’s SUBSTANCE and EVIDENCE! What “substance?” Simply the actual parchment, vellum, papyri, paper or electronic...

Hi rjp, I know it's not yours, but personally, I really hate this saying: IF GOD DOES NOT JUDGE AMERICA, HE WILL HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO SODOM AND GOMORRAH. - Shanghai curse August 1937 As a veteran, I find it judgmental, arrogant and an absolute lie! I doubt the stated origin because at the...

Hi Rocky, If one reads Daniel and Rev. 17 & 18 all these "metaphors" are explained. There is no "guesswork" involved.

Eph. 6:13 - “Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the “day of evil” comes, you may be able to stand (withstand, KJV) your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand…” It is my opinion this verse contains a warning regarding the evil day that will be called the Great...

The Ten Commandments (Abbrv.) Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is...

Hi Phoneman, Your words: "I know this reasoning requires a major paradigm shift, but I it's airtight with Scripture, I think." I certainly don't consider it airtight at all. Let's look at an example you gave. Your words: "The will, mind, emotions, I, ego, self, conscience, intuition, etc. are...

Hi Phoneman, Your words: "We Living Souls do not possess native immortality, but rather we Living Souls seek for immortality, which would be unnecessary if we already possessed it (Romans 2:6-8 KJV). The doctrine of the native immortality of the soul comes straight out of the pits of demons...

Hi Here, Your words: "He rested, BLESSED AND SANCTIFIED the seventh day." Yes, but because of Christ, WE are blessed and sanctified and we honor that day, by being believers and Christ-like every day!

Hi Keras, Your words: "I believe it is your mistake to think wars, famines, diseases and economic problems are 'natural events" Let me clarify. I don't mean "natural" as in floods and hurricanes or forest fires but "Natural" as in the sense of basic human nature. Humanity has almost always had...

Hi Angelina, Did you forget this story in the NT? Acts 8:38-39 - "And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. 39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip...

Hi Retro, While I appreciate your time and attention to our conversation, I think (25 pages!!!) is a little much! No wonder it took six days to reply! I will do what I can but I will break it up into two parts. The first one will be a little scattered tackling the easiest and shortest parts...

Hi Keras, Your words: "The Seals - that the first five are already opened is evident to most informed people. How many more wars, famines, diseases, economic problems and Christians beheaded do you need?" I believe it is a mistake to take events that occur naturally and ascribe biblical...

Eph. 6:12 - For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. The first and most important step in waging our spiritual warfare is to know your...

Hi Keras, Your words: "From careful reading of Daniel and Revelation, it seems the 7 Trumpet and Bowl punishments will occur within a 3.5 year, 42 month, 1260 day period.. The first half of those 7 years should be peaceful, it is only at the mid point, when the Leader of the OWG breaks the 7...

One really shouldn't read Ecclesiastes for any sort of doctrinal instruction. If it was written by Solomon, it was at a time when he was in a spiritual downward spiral perhaps even in a back-slidden state. I believe it is included in the bible as a cautionary tale that even those who have...

Hi Keras, Your question: "As I asked: how long will it be from the Seals, etc. until the Return, do you think?" As a proponent of the belief that the 70th week of Daniel is still future, I believe that the majority of the seals and all of the trumpet and bowl judgments concluding with...

Hi Keras, I know where you come from and one should take the effort to learn the other person's viewpoint. I am not pre-trib!!!! I am pre-wrath and there is a great difference between the two. So Christ was prophesied to be in the grave for 3000 yrs. then? I think not!

Good post Williemac!

Hi Keras, Your words: "So Trekson, if Jesus asked God to 'only keep His disciples from the evil one', where is the hope that anyone goes to heaven? All the disciples were tested 'unto death', except John, who was exiled." I stand by my statement, Context is everything. There are plenty of other...
