    God's deliverance from CORONA VIRUS

    But, so often, that is our desire because of our own fear of dying. Let me give two examples: - Example 1: - A pastor friend of ours, prayed for a woman who had AIDS and was dying, and God allowed her life to be extended for a period of about three months while she was getting right with God...

    Heresy within Christianity

    Paul, I am not interested in your game at the moment. In Genesis 1:1 that you quoted, the word "earth" is a metaphor if one were to go past the Literal reading of the verse, but i doubt that you would be looking at this verse this way.

    Heresy within Christianity

    Paul, I feel so sorry for you in that you only see the Bible as having a literal context in its message because in doing so you are missing much of the Metaphorical content and context of the Scriptures. The OP was raising the question about whether or not we should be considering the state of...

    God's deliverance from CORONA VIRUS

    I disagree with some of what you have said. He does not answer our prayer which are not in line with His desires for us, but He does sometimes allow what we have asked of Him to happen to us, so that we can learn how we should be praying. God hears the prayers of the Saints because their...

    Heresy within Christianity

    My experience is to be honest with people and respond where necessary with the truth that I do not know the answer to such a question as you have posed, and then explain how not knowing the answer to the posed question by yourself, has not affected my desire to be in a relationship. with God and...

    Heresy within Christianity

    So, in other words you are prepared to throw out what the Bible reveals and ignore what is recorded and instead present a 2020 AD human logical understanding to justify your point of view. Has heresy written all over your posts. As regards to your request for me to provide you with an...

    Heresy within Christianity

    It seems to me that you are making claims that cannot be substantiated from Scripture. Adam was 130 years old when he had Seth and he lived for another 800 years which means that he lived for a total of 930 years before he died. You claim that Cain outlasted his father Adam, but their is no...

    Best Teachers On Prophecy

    I did not respond to your Op because you had excluded me. My experience is that there are no good teacher out there to help me understand the end time prophecies. 20 years ago I went to a Bible college to learn from the lecturers, but what I found was that the lecturers did not understand the...

    The False Doctrine of a 7-year Tribulation

    Well, that is the manner in which it has been understood by our so called scholars. Christ, on the other hand, painted a very different picture as to the length of the 70 weeks of years as He equated the time period of 490 years in Daniel 9:24 as being solar years and not the so called Jewish...

    God's deliverance from CORONA VIRUS

    God will only hear our prayers for deliverance if we are prepared to humble ourselves and confess our sins before Him. In Isaiah 58, God was not impressed with the Israelite nation putting on sack cloth and ashes when they came to repetitively pray to Him for deliverance. He was more...

    The False Doctrine of a 7-year Tribulation

    As usual, you are quoting the more modern translations which IMHO give the wrong impression of what is being written about by Paul. Paul was not speaking about how many heathen Gentiles come into the church, he was referencing the heathen Gentiles Trampling the Sanctuary of God in Jerusalem and...

    Question on Jesus' Ministry timing

    If there is a split second between the righteous and the wicked during the second resurrection as recorded in Revelations 20 then are you not arguing over trivia as too whether both occurred at the end of the Ages of the Age just before the the judgement of the people before the white throne...

    Question on Jesus' Ministry timing

    But do you not have a rapture position to fit your understanding into? If so, then you are the one who has the need for a three resurrection theory. I do not have a "rapture escape position" to force my understanding of scripture into a three resurrection position as you have suggested. Rev...

    Question on Jesus' Ministry timing

    It seems that your reference of Rev 1:6 is associated with the period of time after the GWTR judgement where the Saints will receive their inheritance of the whole earth, Abraham and his righteous descendants included, and it is then that the Saints will rule the earth with Christ forever more...

    Question on Jesus' Ministry timing

    The above Biblical quote from Rev 20 does not support your POV. It is silent as to where Christ and the beheaded saints reign. Rev 19 suggest that Christ remains in heaven with his army until after the Bottomless pit is opened and Christ then goes out to capture the Beast and the False...

    Question on Jesus' Ministry timing

    Where do you find any scriptural reference to Christ's second coming after which He will reign on the earth for 1,000 years?

    Question on Jesus' Ministry timing

    The point I was making was that Gen 15:16a has been, with respect to the return of some Abraham's descendants to the Land of Canaan in their own strength has been fully fulfilled. However, Gen 15:16b has been partially fulfilled: - Gen 15:16: - for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet...

    Question on Jesus' Ministry timing

    Gen 15:16 is the only prophecy that I know of that is directly linked to the 1948 return of some of Abraham's descendants to the Land of Canaan. The restoration of the Nation of Israel to God does not happen until after the start of the Armageddon event, where God will gather them to himself...

    Question on Jesus' Ministry timing

    Hello It has been suggested, and indeed I was taught such in the Bible school that I attended, that the OT prophets tended to see the mountain tops in their visions of prophecy, but did not see the valleys and plains that existed between the mountain top prophecies that they recorded. In...
