A Different Look at Genesis I thought it would be interesting to write about the differences of opinion regarding the division with the creationist viewpoint and a little about the theory of evolution. We all know where the evolutionists stand regarding creation and we can arrive at one logical...

11. John said it was the “last hour” (1 John 2:18) when he was writing. Does that mean that its fulfillment is now 17 million hours late? My sources list the time of authorship as 90ad, just before his exile and the authorship of Revelation which many believe was around 95-96 ad.. Hour was just...

Hi Everyone, This is my first post in a long time. I recently came across this challenge and decided to take it on. Here are the questions and my replies that may help others in their discussions with preterists. HERE’S TWENTY QUESTIONS FOR FUTURISTS WRITTEN by Charles Meek (who is a...

The Sleeping Church (Part 3) Oh yeah, there was one more example to point out. I’m sure most of you are familiar with this parable. Matt. 25:1-13 – “Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them...

The Sleeping Church (Part 1) Most of us anticipate with great excitement the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, however should that be the case? If we were honest with ourselves, I think that excitement should be tempered with a little fear and trepidation. Why? Because we are failing...

Fifteen hundred years before the birth of the Messiah. The seven feasts foretold, in type, the major redemptive works of His life. The four spring feasts relate to His first coming . His death was depicted in Passover. That His body would not decay in the grave is seen in Unleavened Bread. His...

The Body of Christ vs. The Bride of Christ 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...

A Different Look at Genesis I thought it would be interesting to write about this instead of end-times for a change. Some of you may have read bits and pieces of my thoughts on this but I thought it was time I put them altogether into one comprehensive piece. I am a creationist but I'm also...

In the hopes of starting a conversation and not an argument, I'd like to restart the Genesis issue. I'm going to voice an opinion for starters. I believe that Eve could have had hundreds or thousands of children before Cain. What say you?

The definition of “symbolism” is “the practice of representing things by means of symbols or of attributing symbolic meanings or significance to objects, events or relationships.” In my opinion, those who interpret scripture, especially prophetic scriptures emphasizing symbolism are off track...

The Kingdoms of the Dragon I started off today intending to write about one topic but in the midst of my studies God led me in a completely different direction. Has that ever happened to you? No matter what viewpoint a student of prophecy starts with, we mostly all have one thing we believe...

Hi, I'd like to have a debate/discussion with someone or anyone about amillennialism. If you care to do that then please post your scriptural understanding of it and I will reply. Any takers?

Just listing a few verses that show us how we should be with "one another". Mark 9:50 - …Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another. John 13:14 - If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. John 13:34 - A new commandment I give...

What is the Role of the Congregation? Believe it or not our role is more important and should be more involved than sitting in a pew and watching the pastor of music leader do all the work. I encourage everyone to read Rom. 12:3-16 followed by 1 Corinthians 12. These verses will...

What is the Role of a Pastor? In the church that I occasionally attend we are in a pastoral transition period. I thought it an excellent idea when the committee in charge of finding a replacement handed out a questionnaire on what we the congregation wanted or expected in the...

I heard something on Fox news the other day that just irked me to no end. A woman and mother was part of a panel discussing the concerns of the day and she made this statement: “I am willing to give up some of my personal liberties in order to feel safer!” I believe she said this regarding the...

If you’ve been a church for forty years and struggle to get 40 people to attend every Sunday, something is wrong. If your kids don’t want to go and can’t wait to leave, something is wrong. If you’re sitting in church wondering how soon you will be able to get on with your day, something is...

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...

It’s been said that the “best offense is a good defense” and that brings us to step 2: Understanding the Armor of God and how to use it. Let’s read Eph. 6:10-18 “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11) Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against...

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...
