So on what "day" were Adam and Eve's eyes opened?

The purpose of Christ's rising back into His physical body was very much unique. It was a demonstration of what had already taken place. The reason He did not die again is not because His physical body was reanimated but because His spiritual relationship with the Father, severed by the sins HE...

Lizbeth, how does one form a principle except to first study indepth the thing upon which the principle is to be based? There is a principle that one should be careful to not repeat the errors of others. But that is not what you are doing. You are taking something out of context with its...

rwb, you wrote "Because now their eyes being opened to sin and evil they spiritually became like the evil one to whom they heeded." When were their eyes opened? Were they not opened in the same "day" in which they were to die? In the very SAME day in which they died, their eyes were opened...

Where are the physical bodies in Paul's statement: "the dead shall be raised incorruptible"? Notice also the "WE" used by Paul. Why do so few acknowledge the audience relevance of passages and make everything about them? When Paul says "WE," he means himself and those to whom he is writing...

Lizbeth, what is the context of 1 Corinthians 10? To whom is Paul speaking? What happened as an example and to whom did it happen as an example? Paul is addressing "brothers" of his day--the saints at Corinth ("to the church of God that is in Corinth"--1 Cor. 1:2). Paul is speaking to THEM...

How we end on this issue depends upon how we begin. What death did Adam die when he sinned in the Garden? Surely, it was not physical because he did not die physically at that time. "In the DAY that you eat of it, you shall surely die." The same is true of their eyes being opened. It happened...

I see no scriptural support for anything you wrote. What did Paul write about the true Israel of God? To the Ephesians he wrote of God's breaking down the "middle wall of partition" between Jew and Gentile and made of the two ONE NEW MAN. In Galatians 6, he addresses the issue of the Jews...

We continue to ask because you do not answer. You come here and make accusations against me, disparage me by calling me "arrogant" and "childish," yet you provide no scriptural proof to refute what I have presented. That is the frustration of the preterist. I'll make a deal with you, Zao. I...

Paul also spoke of a coming salvation beyond their first act of belief by faith through grace. He placed it NEAR in his day. In his letter to the saints at Rome, he admonished them that even then the "night was far spent" and the "day was AT HAND." Using the word NOW, he stated "your salvation...

There is no "end of the world." Also, Matthew 24:14 was fulfilled in that very generation of those disciples right there with Jesus. The word translated as "world" their is oikoumene. It means "household." It is the same word that is found in Luke 2:1 where Caesar puts forth a decree that "all...

It is widely accepted that Paul's second letter to Timothy was written between AD 64 and 68. That is more than 30 years after the events following Jesus' rising from the grave and others after Him (Matthew 27). Why are Hymenaeus and Philetus only now stirring up falsehoods about the...

Sadly, Christians have indeed missed the Second Coming. They missed it in the same way the Jews missed the coming of the Messiah. Both look have a faulted concept of the NATURE of the Kingdom. Jesus told those of HIS day that they would see Him coming in His kingdom. "There are some standing...

The Apostle Paul was wrong? No. He was not just being positive. He was clearly and firmly stating that he and those saints of his own day were to be gathered together to Christ at His coming to THEM in THEIR lifetime. THEY were to meet Him in the "air" (the realm of God). The dead in Christ were...

The problem with your contention is that John is given the very same time frame in the last chapter of the Revelation. In chapter 22, it is again stated that he was shown those things which were to SHORTLY take place. Then he is told to NOT seal up the vision because the time was NEAR. The...

Again, I ask the end of what? What is the CONTEXT of Jesus' words, Scott? He told those very disciples that "the end is not yet" and THEN He went on to tell them when that end would be. THEY would first be hated and killed for His name's sake; THEY would first see the Abomination of...
