You begin with an assumption which is wrong. This is your premise. Then you go off on a path leading on your own understanding and try to analyse scripture that can only be discerned by someone who actually possess the Holy Spirit. You must be born again, baptized by the Holy Spirit. You taught...

"Prepared as the Bride ..."It's a metaphor, (a simile), meaning beautiful, pure, eternal. After the Great Tribulation ( a 3.5 year period coming soon), during which time good and evil will be separated and Jesus will appear to take His church, there will be a Millennial Kingdom, a time of peace...

Good questions. * My answers go against the traditional teaching of eternal hell. A. Confusion to the meaning of death, the word aionios and the distinction between Hades and Hell (.The Lake of Fire). The wages of sin is death. Death means the destruction of both soul and body in Hell (see...

It's popping up often because we are close to that time. The Antichrist will soon be revealed after the Restrainer of Evil ( Holy Spirit) releases the power of evil to do its work and the Church which is the Temple of the Holy Spirit, is taken out of the way. It is likely we will go through some...

Matthew taught Jewish Christians and is the most Jewish gospel compared to the others. It starts with a genealogy, not a sermon that one would begin with teaching Gentiles. Look at the context, the Lord is speaking to Jews, who as you said called out to the Lord in the Old Testament. Look at...

Absolutely agree. The desolation that Jerusalem suffered in 70AD is small change when applied to the entire world. Many things are repeated in the Bible. Israel was the test case, the chosen nation and now the rest of the world will be tested. I think the 1/3 of earth being on fire and other...

You answered your own thread, seeing many people weak in their faith who stumble and backslide. This is why the word encourage is mentioned 40 times. The Bible educates us how to deal with this battle going on between the spirit and the flesh. Paul had it -- we all do. We are all in different...

Rev. 6:9-10 is a future event of course. Matthew 24:15 may have happened in 70 AD. Titus stood in the Temple before he ordered its destruction and an estimated 1 million Jews were killed from 67-70 AD. He caused desolation in Jerussalem and scattered remaining Jews - certainly a great...

"Vengeance is mine, says the Lord." Those souls just arrived in heaven. They have been persecuted on earth, praying for many years through suffering, wanting the end to come. And so they, still grieving after some just getting their heads cut off are just curious as to when it will be over for...

No, the Bible is clear that there is one destination of our physical bodies, the grave (or a cremation) AND two destinations for souls at death; one for unbelievers in Christ, our Lord Savior to Hades and for us, heaven. Jesus conquered death (the wages of sin and its punishment); and so we...

A MORE LITERAL AND ACCURATE TRANSLATION: "and it will come -- the day of the Lord -- as a thief in the night, in which the heavens with a rushing noise will pass away, and the elements with burning heat be dissolved, and earth and the works in it shall be burnt up. YLT OR KJV But the day of the...

I'll try to educate you, but I still think it's a futile task. I have done exhaustive studies on topics of Hell, Hades, the Gehenna, the Lake of Fire, I wrote a book called "Hell... If I Know" and so will share a few insightful pages from it. [Unbelieving souls go to Hades (the underworld, but...

Finally. So you are SDA then? (Non-Trinitarian, soul sleep and Amillennial) -- what a combo! Unless a Christadelphian or some kind of non-creedal Universalist. It would nice if you weren't so secretive about your Church. Why? Fear that we will quickly dismiss you and won't waste our time...

No tension. I'm right at 120/80_ at 4AM _ in bed ... so didn 't have any coffee yet. You start the thread by calling us liars who you presume fell into this deception - sure all 2.7 billion of us. Yes, that's straightforward! There are 9 million JW's who believe in soul sleep ( among many...

The ICE agent reacted in a way as if his life was in danger and it seems another agent was trying to get in the vehicle. This blocking the road with her car was her 1st act of lawlessness, impeding federal police right of way. Then disobeying their verbal commands was her 2nd act. Her 3rd act...

It's comical that you would even try to figure the meaning behind the percentages of only 7 votes. The mass majority of Christians would not open this thread due to it's reprehensible assumption. It's a turn off, despicable. There are 2.5+ billion Christions who believe they go to heaven when...

Luke 16:19-31 UD NOT A PARABLE! This is not symbolic language, and is to be taken literally. Why? Parables DO NOT include specific names of real people, like Abraham, nor his spiritual location. It is also clear that the Rich man and Lazarus are real souls! Prior to Christ's death and...

The dead physical body looks like it's sleeping. When we are sleeping, we are not dead, nor are Christians who die actually dead - we are alive as Jesus pro.ised we would be. This is why Jesus used the term sleeping. He did not bring anyone from Hades back to life, because they are dead, not...

That's the point. The dead in this verse refers to those who do not know God, have no faith; therefore have suffered the sting of death. Christians and all OT saints who lived by faith have not suffered the curse of death BECAUSE Christ died for our sins and His blood sacrifice is imputed to all...

Okay, well you go to sleep then.
