I'm sorry, but...huh?

Interesting...but...I'm not sure I'd agree. Biblically we see Satan is about deceit and destruction of humans. He hates us. Why would he, even using us as cannon fodder, build us up with 'technological truth and advancement'? Especially when scripture tells us that it doesn't really matter if...

Thanks for your thoughts, I appreciate them. And no, I don't mind that you're in a different 'camp'. I'm hoping we can have a good chat, regardless. I remember when I was being convicted that the Amillennial interpretation was the most biblically faithful....I struggled with this also. Because...

Early church writings and histories are certainly interesting. But they are not canon. Thus, I think we need to be very careful assigning to doctrine that which does not come out of scripture directly. And don't mistake me...I'm not attempting to insist that my theory presented here is 100%...

Okay, sure. In the effort to have a civil debate, let me ask you some questions: *why do you think all 3 of those passages mention restraint of evil in effort of something (the pursuit of the gospel and to deceive the nations no longer), and conversely the release of evil to pursue deception...

Each to their own I suppose. I don't mind people adding a vid here or there to support their views. But multiple vids with no thoughts by the poster in question? That just says spam to me. I'm not even going to bother. Like I said before...I don't even mind that they're Dispensational vids...I...

What Jesus did on the cross was pay for the sins of the world. However...it IS conditional. On what? On a person coming to faith in him. Right? At that moment on the cross, what he did secured the freedom for all who would believe upon him. Except, while that freedom was secured, it had not been...

:rolleyes: It wasn't meant to be a complaint, just an explanation why some of us are choosing NOT to watch the multiple vids you are posting. Which, posted as they are, without any attempt of opinion, conversation or explanation on your part, borders on spam. (That was a complaint.)

This is an interesting thought, I suppose because in a way Christ has, in a true way, done exactly that. It is his right, after all, as the only true way, true God. However, we can see in the context of the passage that Paul is NOT speaking of Jesus here. The 'man of lawlessness' comes in...

Do a bible search for references of "this age" and "the age to come". There is a clear teaching of a distinction. And while Christ teaches the Kingdom has come now, in this age, the 'age to come' is also clearly of things eternal, things sinless and perfected.

One can always hope!

So, this might get some varied reactions; I'm hoping that a reasonable, biblical based discussion can be held on the topic anyway. But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. Or how can someone enter a strong man's house and plunder his...

Actually, the TV is the perfect example to use to explain why 'some' of us are attempting to ask you to ease up on the multiple vids. When a person sits down to watch TV, they do so to watch particular shows, on a particular subject of interest. Here in Australia, many of the free channels have...

Goodness no! That would be against their narrative! They don't even want to report all the Christians dying...why would they want to report all the people falling in love with Jesus? I agree. Your poll was a little hard to answer, as I think we're seeing it now, but I do feel it's going to get...

Hi...sorry to jump in here, but, as far as when the Church began, don't we need to look at the things scripture and Christ tells us is necessary for being a follower of his. The Church is, afterall, his body...perhaps what we would call a gathering of his body of believers. So...while, sure, he...

Interesting topic, and one that's very hard to answer. Is apostasy happening now? Of course. Has it happened throughout the Church age? Undoubtably. Will it get worse? I think we must expect it to. But to what level? Will apostasy match rising persecution? I don't know we can say that...because...

Oh yes...we cannot doubt, I think, that too many presume on grace. But I think when grace is truly understood; what is extended and who it is that it is extended to (what sort of wretches we truly are), it should cut us off at our knees. Anyone who can carry on whistling in his sin while...

Look, there are various sources on the Temple thing. Some say the Romans did indeed set up and worship...many do. But, as you also pointed out, many...including Josephus, say they didn't. So, as I said, it then becomes a debate on historical sources, sites, etc. And, as I said...I have NO...

Sigh. Why is it so hard to count? #48 comes before #62 does it not? Here is my FIRST point, which I made in #48: YOU bought up the temples destruction in #58, which also comes AFTER the number 48. My response in #62, be it from a factual site or not (which is remained to be seen, as one can...

But...you are exactly right, aspen...they cannot be separated. Separated in terms of what brings salvation, yes, but when we look at the outworking of that salvation? James tells us that they must be twinned together, or else the first did not really bring new life. So also faith by itself, if...
