Greetings again Behold, Adam was not created with Eternal Life. He was made a little lower than the Angels, and these beings had eternal life. Adam only became mortal and subject to death after he had sinned. Psalm 8:3-5 (KJV): 3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon...

Greetings again Behold, Our theology seems to differ in many areas. Adam when created was not a Divine Being and did not have eternal life and he did not have God's Righteousness. He was a human with the potential to develop God's character and after a period of probation and maturity he would...

Greetings Behold, An interesting mix of ideas. Could you support the above proposition with Scripture? Another interesting mix of ideas. Could you support the idea that when Adam was created he had eternal life? The death that Adam was now going to experience was a return to the dust Genesis...

Greetings "St. SteVen", Although not a direct answer to his statements, my answer is contained in the following: Matthew 11:25-30 (KJV): 25At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and...

Despite the many views presented (some strange to my assessment) and the many doubts raised as to the possibility of understanding the Book of Revelation, I would like to reaffirm what I stated earlier, and also state that I consider that there must be a practical understanding of the Book of...

Greetings again Ernie, I mentioned my interest in The Psalms and I found Psalm 34 to be helpful in the early period of my recovery, and also a stability in the years following this as I grew to understand this Psalm and its background more fully. We may be all different and our particular...

Greetings again Behold, I am not attempting to defend the above as it is an extreme, but I am not sure how you would understand the following: John 15:1-12 (KJV): 1I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch...

Greetings again MatthewG, Despite the many different views of this important Book and despite the difficulty of understanding this difficult Book, the opening verses seem to indicate that this prophecy can be understood, and will be understood by those who are truly God's Servants Revelation...

Greetings MatthewG, I prefer the latter day application as to literally the whole world and the time of trouble before the coming of Christ. I believe that the Book of Revelation was given after AD70, possibly AD 96. The Ekklesia at Philadelphia could have had some Jews, but most probably many...

Greetings Ernie, I had two mental failures when I was 38 y.o. and spent about two weeks in hospital for each of these. They were about six months apart. Although I had some tendencies towards these in my earlier life, these were most probably due to not coping with shift work 7 afternoon...

Greetings Behold, They are not completely separated. The character which is developed by a person yielding to God in faith and trust and praise is what God is seeking in the individual, and as such this faith produces obedience and in this sense true "righteousness". They are as cause and...

Greetings again "TheOneHeLoves", I am open to considering a different viewpoint, and weigh the evidence of such a viewpoint against what I already believe. I consider that the Kingdom of God will be established upon the earth when Jesus returns, and consistent with this, it lasts for a long...

Greetings "TheOneHeLoves", I consider that the 1000 years are literally the 1000 years that our Lord Jesus Christ will rule over the earth from the Temple Throne of David in Jerusalem. He will be assisted by the faithful who will be made immortal at the beginning of the 1000 years and they will...

Greetings again Scott Downey, You seem to be quoting part of what Peter states, but you disagree with what he also states, that David had not ascended to heaven. Acts 2:29–36 (KJV): 29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and...

Greetings "BrutalCross", I consider that this is speaking about the resurrection of the faithful and some of the wicked who are responsible to judgement at the return of Christ. There is then 1000 years of the Kingdom when Christ and the faithful rule over mortal Israel and the nations. At the...

Greetings again Spiritual Israelite, I appreciate your explanation of how you understand the one thousand years and the first resurrection. I will hold onto my understanding of these terms and when these events will occur. I anticipate the return of Jesus is very near when he will gather the...

Greetings again Spiritual Israelite and WPM, Could you give your understanding of the expression "one thousand years". When does this period start and finish. So according to you these faithful have already been resurrected and are with Jesus as kings and priests now. Same as above, could...

Greetings again WPM, I consider much of your exposition confusing. You have made this type of accusation earlier and I gave an answer to this false accusation. What exactly are you inferring by this accusation. Are you claiming that you are the only one who understands the teaching of the...

Greetings again WPM, I appreciate your extensive response. I consider Isaiah 26:19-21 is speaking about events that occur before the beginning of the Millennium. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings again WPM, I partially accept your rebuke. I do not believe in what is usually considered to be the rapture where they claim the faithful are taken to heaven for a period of time. But I am very conscious of the following verses and I would be interested in how you understand these...
