None of it has anything to do with a pre-tribulation rapture, so you've lost me.

I think this Is a poor translation in archaic English which only makes it harder for a contemporary mind to grasp. The New King James is more accurate, but still keeps the poetic sentence structure of the Old kjv: 19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that...

Yes I've read this at least a dozen times, but every passage about Paul's travels has him start preaching in the synagogues and moving out to preach to the gentiles. Acts also has Peter as an Apostle to the Jews and doesn't even speak to some of the other apostles at all. This was because Acts...

Not exactly. Paul preached first in synagogues wherever he went, then moved on to preach to gentiles. The first church in Jerusalem was largely Jewish. The church leaders were Apostles and members of Jesus ' family.

I don't believe it's optional. You're either here or your not. But the Tim LaHaye stuff is sheer fantasy. If we're saved to be His witnesses and salt and light to a dying world, why would we be yanked off the planet when we're needed the most? That's just crazy. During the conquest of Canaan...

Not exactly, but the Lord wasn't offering a worldly kingdom in His first appearance. He knew the scriptures and He knew He was headed for the cross, not a throne in Jerusalem. That's the biggest reason for His rejection by the Jewish population. They wanted a king to overthrow Rome, but God...

That's okay. I'm here to fellowship with others in the word, not to be dragged into a lot of carnal arguments, but the latter seems inevitable. I attended my first worship service since I was divorced last Sunday, and the divorce was just before the pandemic in 2019. The pandemic threw me as...

You seem very concerned with temporal sequence regarding the church. Eg the Gentile church as opposed to the entire church. As an example, the modern church didn't exist until after Pentecost. That much is obvious. However, that doesn't make the Old Testament saints any less part of His Church...

I see no requirements of believers in scripture other than belief and obedience, but scripture clearly defines the saints who come out of the great tribulation as part of His church and as those who will live and reign with Him in His kingdom.

Absolutely. The Lord has taught me things from scripture about that kingdom, but not to share so much as to understand the reason for certain "divine appointments," that left me doubting my sanity.

But of the three jobs you mentioned, the engineer would most likely be a Mason (though my great uncle Munoz was a chef who built a line of "carnecerias" (butcher shops) and was a Mason (according to my father.) In my former public job, I was familiar with a number of electronic and civil...

Don't underestimate the power and influence of DOD contractors. When our wars were winding down, their profits were shrinking. Politicians with DOD industry in their districts always support arms sales and "just" wars. Before I was discharged from the USAF, I was offered a job interview with a...

I did like Ted, but recently he's been playing typical partisan politics and distorting the truth. I haven't seen a lot of honesty in politics, so I appreciate it when I hear it. I'm old enough to remember John F. Kennedy, but the only president that seemed like a faithful Christian was Jimmy...

You're not wrong, but I worked for the Port Authority through two terrorist attacks, both the work of radical jihadists. What the news was reluctant to post after the second attack was that Osama Bin Ladin and the Taliban were trained by our CIA as insurgents and terrorists during the Soviet...

He has a demonstrated disdain for Puerto Ricans also, but I think he just looks down on everyone.

There's even video footage of an interview with him from years before his run where he was questioned about running for president and which party he would seek nomination from. He replied that he'd probably run as a republican because they were "stupid" and easily manipulated.

What do you think of Senator John Kennedy? I never heard of him before the hearings for this new justice nominee, but I'm impressed with what I've seen about him on line. He's a folksy sort of southerner (which doesn't impress many well) but struck me as sharp and honest (for a politician. )

When he was young, Trump found himself on the front page of the daily news, long Island press, and new York post with his spoiled rich kid antics. Nothing much has changed.

Masons corrupt everything that they touch. Donald Trump is among other things, a real estate developer in the NYC metro area, a builder and no doubt knows the hand shake. No one in metro area construction has clean hands and all are part of the network of corruption.

Your eyes will see it.
