Greetings again dak, I object to the misuse of the word "Christian", mainly because the true meaning of this word is defined in Acts 11:25-26. I consider it important to simply state the truth of God's word whenever relevant and when given the opportunity. I appreciate this facility and those...

Greetings again David in NJ and dak, Exodus 3 states that it was the Angel of Yahweh who appeared to Moses. Exodus 3:1-2 {KJV): 1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even...

Greetings again David in NJ, I am not suggesting I am HE and I do not know any translation that states this. Why do you use IAM? Again an unusual representation. Is this one word or two? Are you being careless or deliberately misleading? Some Trinitarians claim that Jesus in John 8:58 is...

Greetings again David in NJ, I suggest that the I AM translation in the KJV and most modern translations is because of the supposed connection of Jesus' claim in John 8:58. There are a few translations that give I Will Be including Tyndale "I wilbe" and the RV and RSV margins. The Hebrew...

Greetings again David in NJ, I AM is the present tense and speaks of existence, I will be includes both existence and the future tense and speaks of activity, and in the context of Exodus 3 and Exodus 6:1-8 God's Name speaks of the promise by God to Abraham and here to Moses that He would be...

Greetings again ewq1938, I consider that my understanding of the visions of Daniel 2, Daniel 7 and Daniel 8 are reasonably correct and valid and form a basis for understanding the rest of the Book of Daniel and also a strong basis for understanding the Book of Revelation. These chapters give a...

Greetings again ewq1938, I accept the mention of the two Jesuits and how that now many Pentecostals and Evangelicals have now adopted this view by comparison to the Historicist view. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings again Douggg, I consider that the Antichrist is the Papacy as a system and also the individual. Daniel 7 is an important start.. Continuous Historic view. Daniel 2 is a good example, but I also believe that the Seals, Trumpets and Vials are successive. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings ewq1938, The following extract from the wiki article gives a reasonable view of the development of the futurist view and the two Jesuits are mentioned: "During the Reformation, historicism was the dominant view. All, or nearly all of the reformers saw the pope as Antichrist. Futurism...

Greetings again Douggg, No, my fellowship precedes the SDAs, but these two items were well expounded for many centuries before the 1800s. The futurist interpretation was introduced by two Jesuits to deflect the attention of many Protestants from the Papacy. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings again Douggg, Yes, but I equate this with 1260 days and I endorse the day for a year principle. I started with an understanding of Daniel 7 as speaking of the dominance of the Papacy from Justinian AD 529-533 to the French Revolution AD 1789-1793 and from Phocas AD 610 to a major...

Greetings Douggg and others, I consider the 1260, 1290 and 1335 represent years, not days, similar to the 1260 of Daniel 7 and the 2300 of Daniel 8 which also represent years. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings shepherdsword, Out of the six suggestions, he supported the fifth view strongly, even though he concluded by endorsing the sixth view. I agree that Psalm 82 and Jesus in John 10:30-36 are speaking about the appointed Judges in Israel and he gives Exodus 21:6 as one example of this. I...

Greetings dmdar, An interesting suggestion, but how much would this flow through to a normal person in their village. I was reading an article about a similar country in Africa. There were a number of subjects of religious instruction during a conference of village people, but part of the...

Greetings again David in NJ, The expression "a new heaven and a new earth" speaks of the change from one era to another, not the destruction of the literal earth which abides for ever. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings again David in NJ, Again, you use some aspects of the truth, and what you state will be fulfilled, but this is NOT the Kingdom of God. It is certainly part of what Jesus, the King of the Kingdom will accomplish. Yes, Jesus will reign on the earth for the 1000 years, contrary to the...

Greetings again David in NJ, There is some aspects of truth about such a statement, but it also ignores much of the Bible teaching concerning the future Kingdom of God when Jesus shall return to sit upon the Temple Throne of David in Jerusalem for the 1000 years. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings David in NJ, Yes, but we worship and bow the knee to him for who he is and what he has accomplished and is yet to accomplish. Can we separate Jesus from his ministry and teaching and his crucifixion, death and resurrection? Perhaps you are trying to emphasise a personal contact with...

Greetings David in NJ, No, they go together. A correct understanding of what is involved in Name of Jesus Christ and ALSO the Kingdom of God combined represents a belief in the Gospel of Christ. To be clear, there are so many perspectives on these two components of the Gospel, that as a result...

Greetings David in NJ, Believe the gospel of the Kingdom and Name and allow this to motivate us to submit to baptism in water in identification with the death and resurrection of Christ for the forgiveness of sins Acts 8:5-6,12, and then live the crucified / resurrected life motivated by the...
