Rella, this list is immaterial about people claiming to be Jesus. Please pay careful attention to what Christ said in Matthew 24:5. He did NOT say false christs would arise saying "I am Jesus". They would arise saying "I am Christ". There is a distinction between these words. The word...

This indicates that ALL eventually experience the consuming fire of God's presence - but not all can survive that experience. Fire either refines or destroys, depending on what the substance is composed of. I find it very interesting that the particular blessing in Isaiah 33:14-17 which the...

The ability to be identified as being "In Christ" is not due to our human efforts - or lack thereof. Scripture is quite plain on this in 1 Cor. 1:29-30. "And because OF HIM are ye IN CHRIST JESUS, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption." All the...

Try Daniel 9:27. "...and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and with the abominable armies he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate." This is the KJV with its alternate...

The realm in which any prophesying was to be done was for the edification of all in the church - not just women and children. "But the one prophesying speaks to men for edification and encouragement and consolation." (1 Cor. 14:3). No particular segregation was required for the four...

Paul (and God) was condemning the manner of "authentein" or overbearing teaching of men - not the act of teaching itself, or Priscilla would have been condemned elsewhere for instructing Apollos in becoming better acquainted with the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Apparently in the...

Zao, you ignore the entire record of first-century historical events. Even when they started being recorded in the book of Acts in fulfillment of Christ's words in Matt. 24-25. This is self-delusion on your part. I have sat in your seat before for many decades, and by God's mercy have been...

???? The "removal of Christ our daily / continual sacrifice"??? You cannot be serious. In contrast to the physical daily offerings in the OC temple, "But this man, after he had offered ONCE SACRIFICE FOR SINS FOREVER, sat down on the right hand of God..." Christ's blood offering in...

You are completely missing the point Christ was making, and which I am emphasizing. You will remember the verse John 1:11 about "He came unto His own, and His own received Him not." This was Christ's own personal earthly ministry period on earth being spoken about in John 1. Because of the...

You have given a supreme example of self-delusion here. The entire Olivet Discourse of Matt. 24-25 was related to the dissolution of the physical temple system and its priesthood in those latter days of the first century before Christ's second coming bodily return in AD 70. The reason we...

Adam's disobedience brought about sinful results that included his inclination to rule over women from then on, and her fearful inclination to turn in deference to a man in an attempt to placate him instead of depending on her God. God did not approve of either the sin or the results of that...

You are mixing up the word "genea" with the word "genos". They don't mean the same thing at all. "Genos" means a type of people or a race. "Genea" means a specific age of time. When Christ used the term "THIS generation" (genea), He was referring to all those living then along with their...

It goes beyond the scope of that text to say that the older women should ONLY teach the younger women to love their husbands and children, and never to teach a male anything. Teaching regarding scriptural matters is not the exclusive task of the minister alone anyway. I'm sure you remember...

"A chosen generation" uses the Greek term "genos", meaning a people type or a race. But when Christ accused the corrupt individuals of His day, saying "You unbelieving and perverse generation!" (Matt. 17:17) the Greek word used here is "genea", meaning Christ's contemporaries of His own time...

In my understanding, OSAS stands for "Once a son, always a son". Christ once said in John 7:38-39 that when the Holy Spirit is given to a person, it produces rivers of living water coming out of their belly. The water that Christ gives becomes in that person a spring of water, springing up...

EXACTLY. You are so right on this. But did you ever consider that women also have the same reluctance to go to a male pastor to talk about things of this nature? This is not appropriate or seemly to do either. I have been in a cult-like church in the past for many years where this situation...

Anyone living in Judea who received the news of Jerusalem the city being surrounded by the Roman armies in AD 66 might not have been direct observers (optanomai) of it happening with their own eyes. However, when those in Judea received the news and became aware (eido) of the city of Jerusalem...

? Do you really believe that only males are resurrected? This is making a distinction where none exists. When scripture says something like, "and so death passed upon all men for that all have sinned", this is speaking in generalities of humankind - not only males who have sinned. (Unless...

They are the three group bodily resurrection events which God scheduled to match the three formerly-required harvest feasts of Passover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles. Attendance required. Two of these group resurrections have already occurred at Passover in AD 33 and Pentecost day...

Well, no man or woman at all was labeled as a pastor by name in the NT. Pastoring (a verb) is the act of shepherding a flock. To pastor is to shepherd. Shepherding is not a strictly male occupation. Christ promised that whoever overcame and kept His works to the end would be given power...
