    The Gospel of John Bible Study

    But what you stated as being in the scriptures was your own paraphrase of the verse you have referenced. Hebrews 10:19-25: - Hold Fast Your Confession 19 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way which He...

    The Gospel of John Bible Study

    Okay, I did a word search of a number of the preferred texts, i.e. KJV, and could not find your quote of "do not forsake the assembly of yourselves together." Perhaps, it would be good for you to provide the reference from the "bible" of this quote to confirm that it is found in the scriptures...

    The Book of Revelation, Understood?

    I am finding that you are confusing me with your question as it does not make logical sense. Revelation 5:1-7: - 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals. 2 Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud...

    The Book of Revelation, Understood?

    A vision does not need to be chronological ordered in its receiving. Verse five is talking about Christ prevailing over the kings of the earth and as such worthy to take the scroll. Whereas in verse six, it paints another picture to remove any doubt about who is worthy to take the scroll, by...

    The Book of Revelation, Understood?

    It is at the very beginning as highlighted in Rev 19 After. We just need to know the time gap between the two events that you are referring to. It really depends on what is meant by: - Revelation 5:5b: - Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed...

    What is meant by "rightly dividing the word of truth?"

    Both can be true, but a surveyor has no waste as he cannot add to or subtract from what is already there, he, to the best of his ability, faithfully records the story of what is there, whereas a tent maker ends up with "waste," after he has "divided" the fabric for the tent, which he discards as...

    The vast range of Greys between Black and White

    Can I chose, can I chose which ones make up that %. ;) Now what is the % that you delete on average?

    The Book of Revelation, Understood?

    Hello, Chapters Revelation 4-5 should, IMHO, be considered together as a whole before considering the judgements that follow. In verse 4:1 we are told of a "door/portal" that has been opened between heaven and earth. Strong's definition for G:2374 and often translated as a "Door" or...

    What is meant by "rightly dividing the word of truth?"

    @Willie T You are probably one of the few who would understand my post with respect to our/everybody's' theological impasses.

    What is meant by "rightly dividing the word of truth?"

    In Genesis 13, in the last verse, God tells Abraham to walk the length and breath of His Earth, as it is God's intent that that entity, God will give to Abraham and his descendants. In Genesis 12, God tells Abraham to walk in His Earth, that He will show him. Later, in this chapter, God...

    The Book of Revelation, Understood?

    Yes, from my experience, Nepal is a Hindu and Buddhist country, just like India, and Sri Lanka. Every so often in Nepal, Hindus sacrifice their children, usually out of sight in the forests. We should not forget the Muslims kill animals at least once a year to celebrate the end for Ramadan...

    The Book of Revelation, Understood?

    Without a lot of time to research the original manuscripts and see if the words "in Rome" is actually in all of the available Greek manuscript copies of the Book of Romans or Ephesians, it seems to me that we can get lost in the silence of what is actually recorded in the various manuscripts...

    The Book of Revelation, Understood?

    What you are highlighting are the quirks of our English translation scholars. If you had compared all of the Greek words that had been translated as either in or of you would have made the discovery that the same Greek word has been translated either way. Attached is a PDF file which...

    The Rest of The Dead

    It seems that you also do not know how to comprehend what is written by other members. Good luck with trying to pick a fight on trivia when you have not mastered the ability to listen/read.

    The Book of Revelation, Understood?

    What is the context of this passage? Which covenant is Paul referring to in the passage below? Hebrews 8:7-13: - A New Covenant (Jer 31:31-34) 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for...

    The Book of Revelation, Understood?

    No God puts new wine in refurbished leather bottles, because even "new" wine skins can become hard and brittle and fail if new wine is put in them. That is why we put polish onto our leather shoes periodically to keep the leather like new. Shalom

    The Book of Revelation, Understood?

    If you take your old car which is need of a repaint, and repaint it so that it look like new again, has it not been "renewed/refurbished" by the new paint job.

    The Book of Revelation, Understood?

    Continuing from Post # 127 above Armageddon is only mentioned once in the scriptures and that is in Revelation 16:12-16. It is found here: - Revelation 16:12-16: - Sixth Bowl: Euphrates Dried Up 12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and...

    The Book of Revelation, Understood?

    Well, no, the renewal of the Covenant spoken about in Jeremiah 31:31-34 was not the Abrahamic Covenant but rather it was the Kingdom of Priests, a Holy Nation and my Possession among the Nations Covenant that as the passage clearly below tells us was originally made after God brought Israel out...

    The Rest of The Dead

    My dear Stumpmaster, you stump me with your flawed mastering of the Book of Revelation and the fact that you have not put the Book of Revelation into the actual Chronological order that all the events in Revelation will occur in. Some of the imagery in the Book of Revelation begins at the end...
