I think you have it right. The 1290 days is 3.5 years, the time of great tribulation. It begins with the arrival of the anti-Christ and concludes when we see the anti-Christ (Desolator) sitting where he ought not, in the holy place. That's how I understand it.

I believe he did reference Amos; "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to...

I agree, none of us are perfect or good; "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags" (Isaiah 64:6) But we are perfected through Christ; “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then...

Skeptics often point-out this contradiction to claim the bible is fallible. I found a link which presented an alternative theory, which makes sense to me. The description of his suicide differs, but both could be accurate? "And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and...

I think most Christians are aware and accept the fact that we are saved by grace via our faith in Christ. However, many believe that heavenly rewards are based on our righteous works, i.e; what we sow on earth we'll reap in heaven. In other words, a believer may get their foot in the door, but...

That's not how I read it.. God told Cain that he was cursed, and could no longer farm the ground. That sounds like a punishment to me? When Cain was banned from farming, he said to God "Thou has driven me out", which suggest to me that Cain did not leave of his own volition. "And the Lord said...

Unrighteousness is unrighteousness whether there are laws forbidding it or not. God banned Cain even though there was no commandment saying; "Thou shalt not murder". Laws were created because of sin, for the purpose of guiding us away from sin, but I believe that all forms of wrongdoing are...

I suspect he went to hell unless he repented? But we don't know. I think Judas had a better shot than Pilate, because we do read that he repented by returning the money and committing suicide.

Sounds like OCD (obsessive compulsion disorder)? :) You seem to be holding yourself accountable for things others don't even remember, took offence of, or even care about? Your going to sin everyday, so having a conviction or compulsion to be habitually apologetic can begin to annoy those...

Took it again and got a 20, better than my previous 22. I'm in the "perfect" category for my age (57), so its not as bad as I thought :)

My score was 22

In the beginning God created the heaven (1) and the earth (2).

I believe the flood pertained to the biblical world and was not global in scope. So yes, I think some nephilim survived the flood.

Pride and ego aside, I think sometimes its necessary to correct someone. Not for the sake of winning an argument, telling them off, making them feel bad, or justifying ourselves, but to make them aware of a bad, wrong, or hurtful thing that they've said or done. Letting them persist in abusing...

Then I don't think I'll fit in :)

It doesn't show up, I believe your the only one who see's it? All that other members see is this; Christian Members 109 posts Location Idaho, USA

My guess would be the first part of May 2018... That would be 70 yrs after Israel (Fig tree) was planted in 1948, and 40 years after Israel seized control of Old Jerusalem in June 1967. "This generation shall not pass, till all these things be done" (Mark 13:30). Depending on the length of a...

Because it makes sense and rings true... Historically, prophetically, scientifically, and archeologically, there's no solid evidence which proves my 2000 year old belief to be false. To the contrary, archeology and prophecy lend substantial credibility to reinforce my faith. I also like the God...

Its not so much a matter of Christians being doormats, but following the law by not discriminating. A Christian can't force their morals onto others, so if you run a public business, picking and choosing your customers opens you up to lawsuits. Rejecting business due to race, religion, or sexual...

Sounds like Mormonism, they believe in 3 different levels of heaven, but its not biblical.
