Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 : "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm...

Have you ever had God tell you something you really didn’t want to hear? As I was sitting in church last Sunday listening to the sermon, the pastor mentioned a verse in Gal. 5. I turned there and was reading the verses before and after to get the context and I was struck by one word that seemed...

The fact that liberals seek to restrict Christian beliefs shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone but the reality that this is a long term plan established back the 60's may not be as readily apparent. This decades old movement has it’s roots in the 1920's with the Scope’s trial. Early in the...

However, not all will be martyrs! Some of us will just give up our luxuries and the simple things like a roof over our head and food in our stomach because we will refuse to accept the mark of the beast that will allow us those simples pleasures. Our faith will be in God to provide for us and He...

I believe I can answer this question through God's word. "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." I think it's safe to assume that the whole bible is God's message to the church in one way or another via 2 Tim. 3:16 - “All scripture is given by inspiration of God...

Let’s move on to Dan. 7. No matter what viewpoint a student of prophecy starts with, we mostly all have one thing we believe in common and that is the identity of the beasts from Dan. 7. We know that the lion-like beast was Babylon, the bear-like beast was the Medo-Persians and the leopard-like...

This was first posted a couple of years ago but a conversation with a fellow forum member caused me to take a second look at it and expand it with information gained through further prayer and study. Have you ever had a dream that sticks with you? You know it’s important and that God gave it to...

I am angry and sick and tired of empty, meaningless church services. Let me shock everyone with this statement. I am using caps for emphasis: THE PURPOSE OF THE CHURCH IS NOT TO WORSHIP GOD WITH LIP SERVICE BUT WITH ACTION! It is NOT to sing a few songs, listen to a message and go home. Yes...

The Martyr’s Call Wars, false christs and deception Lead men astray from redemption Put on your armor christians all For haven’t you heard the martyr‘s call? Famines and earthquakes in various places Affect all nations, tribes and races Your sisters may weep, your brothers fall Have you...

Seeing as I believe the church to already be in heaven at this time, I believe this verse is speaking to the remaining two parties. “Behold I come as a thief,” is spoken to the world and the second part, I believe, is spoken to believing Israel in hiding. I think the best concept that the word...

This verse hasn’t made sense to me for a long time. It just seemed out of place. It’s placement in the book of Rev. seemed illogical because I always assumed it was speaking of the rapture. I was discussing this with a post-tribber but it really doesn’t fit in with the post-trib scenario either...

Was the word church the only term used in the NT to describe us? I will show you that it wasn't. This will probably be long as I will be posting several scriptures but not all of them. Some I will just give the reference to. The terms: elect, election, elect's and elected are all used to...

There are a few more scriptures, all in Revelation, that may shed some light on this subject. Rev. 21:2 - I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. Rev. 21:9-10 - One of the seven angels who had the seven...

Another passage used is found in three of the gospels. Matthew, Mark and Luke, they are all the same. Matt. 9:15 - And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them...

Perhaps, because I'm a male of the species, I've always been uncomfortable with the description of the church as the Bride of Christ. As I've listened to various pre-trib preachers use the constant references of us as the bride of Christ, the discomfort has increased as I've sensed that this...

Back to Rev. 17:9..The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. Here’s something else to think about. Your average atlas names seven mountain ranges across the continental United States. They are, from east to west, the Appalachians, Allegheny, Ozarks, The Rockies, The Bitter Root...

I believe that the USA will become the Babylon of Rev. 17 & 18, however I do not believe it is that Babylon at the moment, nor do I believe that Rome or a future apostate church is the whore mentioned in Rev. 17. I have many reasons for feeling this and I will try to list them all. It is a...

I’m continuing a conversation with Naomi25 concerning whether the millennium is a real thing or not. Naomi25 said in the thread, Replacement theology, #54- “However...in regards to your other idea...of during the millennium the Church will be in heaven while everyone else will be, I assume, in...

Sometimes the identities of the church and Israel get misconstrued which can lead to false conclusions based on wrongful assumptions. There are two Israels in scripture. There is of course the physical nation of Israel and there is a spiritual Israel which is founded in faith and with the...

Now let’s focus on what happened after God created Adam. For example, young-earthers want to believe that when God created Adam, after His day of rest, He created Eve and they woke up the next morning and went straight to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. However, the bible doesn't say...
