    Did God Give His Only Son? Fresh Look @ John 3:16

    Wrong. Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins.. Jesus shed His blood on the cross, that was sufficient. Heb 9:11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not...

    The Blessed Hope: The Second Coming Of Christ

    Except 2 Thessalonians 2:1 links the rapture to the second coming of Jesus. I realize that’s a very inconvenient fact. See post #47. Shalom

    The Blessed Hope: The Second Coming Of Christ

    Analyzing 2 Thessalonians 2: 2Th 2:1 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, The coming of our Lord, is obviously His second coming. In verse 1, Paul links His second coming, to the rapture. Already the pre-trib...

    The Blessed Hope: The Second Coming Of Christ

    The rest of that Matthew 22 wedding supper passage shows that the unrighteous will be removed from the wedding supper, and cast into hell - and disproves OSAS, too. Pure white raiment (robes) are the righteousness of saints, and become part of their wedding attire, as shown by the other...

    The Blessed Hope: The Second Coming Of Christ

    Actually it does, if you read how Zechariah 14 proves the day of the lord is part of the second coming. But you’re right - cognitive dissonance keeps pre tribbers from any other eschatology than their “escape from any inconvenience or bother as American Christians” view, who think they are...

    Rabbis forced the Romans to crucify Jesus?

    Jer 24:5 “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so I will regard as good the exiles from Judah, whom I have sent away from this place to the land of the Chaldeans. Jer 24:6 I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land. I will build them...

    The Blessed Hope: The Second Coming Of Christ

    2 Thessalonians 2 says at His coming, we will be gathered together to be with Jesus - after the mid trib event of the son of perdition committing the abomination of desolation. Pre tribbers claim Paul jumps topics from the second coming to the DoL, and make it about two separate events, but...

    The Blessed Hope: The Second Coming Of Christ

    He prepares a table for me, in the presence of my enemies...Psalm 23. Mat 22:2 “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son, Mat 22:3 and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. Mat 22:4 Again...

    Rabbis forced the Romans to crucify Jesus?

    And the city New Jerusalem, which could be called New Zion, comes down from heaven to the old Jerusalem area, lands on earth, and God dwells in that city, forever. Revelation 21.

    What does it mean to 'study the Bible'?

    I looked at it from a different angle: though in John 3:3 the words gennao anothen can be translated either as born again, or born from above, Peter used the term begotten again, or born again, using a single word - anagennao- which can only be translated as born again, or begotten again, in 1...

    What does it mean to 'study the Bible'?

    The correct interpretation is born again, not born from above - as shown by nicodemus question to Jesus - how can a man enter again into the womb and be born a second time?? Imagine this exchange: You must be born from above. How can a man enter again into the womb and be born a second time...

    The Blessed Hope: The Second Coming Of Christ

    Zechariah 14 is just one example of the day of the lord occurring with the second coming. Verse 1: the day of the Lord. Verse 5: Jesus returns with all the saints, and they land on mount Olive. Which strongly suggests that the rapture is part of the second coming, that Jesus catches the saints...

    The Blessed Hope: The Second Coming Of Christ

    Romans 7:4. We are married to Jesus. Why would He have a marriage supper with us, but no wedding? Rev 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. Rev 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be...

    Christ only died for past sins...

    Jesus never got your memo. He warned 4 out of 7 churches to repent, and told the Sardis church they were DEAD, and to repent, and be overcomers, or He would blot their names out of the book of life.

    Rabbis forced the Romans to crucify Jesus?

    Rom 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. Rom 11:2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew.

    Up is down. Black is white. Grace precedes faith.

    Part two reply John 6:44, "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day." Joh 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. John 6:65, "And He was saying, 'For this reason I have said to you, that no one...

    Up is down. Black is white. Grace precedes faith.

    ]John 3:19, "This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil." In the above passage, Jesus says those who believe in Him are saved, but those who reject Him are damned, and said they are damned because the...

    What does it mean to 'study the Bible'?

    One assignment is to search the scriptures, study the scriptures, and rightly divide the truth of the scriptures, which are for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and instruction in righteousness. Study the scriptures- not study someone’s interpretation of them that tells you what to...

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    That’s the whole point - it’s impossible in Calvinism, not impossible in the Bible. Peter refutes Calvinism when he said we MUST MAKE OUR ELECTION SURE to gain entrance into heaven: Peter says we must MAKE our calling and ELECTION sure, by ADDING to our faith the FRUIT of virtue, Godliness...
