    Dive, Dive, Dive...For Five Months

    Charlie, what I mean is that they will be physical bodies as opposed to ghostly, untouchable, spirit-like bodies. Hope that helps. Joshua David

    Dive, Dive, Dive...For Five Months

    Again I disagree. I believe that you read it this way to justify taking upon yourself what God has blessed someone else. The words are right there. I understand that you disagree with my interpretation just as I disagree with yours. Now I could be wrong. And if I am then I will be...

    Dive, Dive, Dive...For Five Months

    I have heard of these lost tribes before, and I find no scriptural evidence for believing this. What I have found is a unscriptural attempt to justify replacement theology. I believe that you would be hard pressed to prove your case scripturally. I believe that CB asked you a question, and I...

    Though all the people in the universe leave you, only Jesus, he would never forsake you

    I was just curious, what exactly did you change your mind about. I read your posts and I didn't find anything wrong with it. Lastsecman, You don't have to have gone to seminary to be qualified to post here. If God lays something on your heart to post, then please feel free to post. If...

    Dive, Dive, Dive...For Five Months

    I disagree, I too believe in the rapture. The tribulation has no bearing on the church. Now I am not saying that there won't be saints during the tribulation. The church was established on the Day of Pentecost, on the basis of Christ's shed blood. Just as the church did not exist during the...

    Though all the people in the universe leave you, only Jesus, he would never forsake you

    Sometimes, just having the courage to say " I was wrong. This is how I felt at the time, but after more prayer and study, God has changed my opinion on this matter." is enough to get your point across. Hang in there. Joshua David

    Understanding and interpretation

    RJP, Please don't misunderstand me, I love debating God's word. And some of the debates that I have entered into with my friends have been very spirited and passionate. That is the entire reason that I come on the websites. I love talking to other Christians about the word of God, especially...

    Understanding and interpretation

    [/size] This is a very good topic and one that I think very few Christians grasp. They are so sure of their own interpretation, that they fail to realize that their interpretation is just that, an interpretation. I can't begin to tell you how many times I have seen Christian brothers and...

    On What day did YOUR Messiah Die?

    I get so spiritually tired when I go to Christian forums and read some of the posts. Now please don't get me wrong. I love talking about the bible, but when I read comments like... ... I just don't want to join into the conversation. Because this is the exact attitude that pervades...

    When was the last time....

    Calbhach, If you can maintain that humble attitude, then I think you stand head and shoulders above all those 'bible scholars' who think that they know everything. Joshua David

    When was the last time....

    Like Butch, I too have not been on this site long enough, but I have changed my opinion of things that I thought was true in the past. I believe that if you truly can say that you have never changed your opinion on anything then you have not really learned anything. You are just parroting what...

    Judgement Day in May?

    Well, I believe that the rapture will be pre-tribulation. And I do expect it to be this year, but if it is not, then I will continue to wait, and continue to study, and to do his will. Joshua David

    A new heaven and a new earth

    Truth, Thank you for sharing your insights. You have provided a lot of information for people to go through and make up their own mind. I can say that I do understand why you feel the way you do. Joshua David

    A new heaven and a new earth

    If what you say is true, then the angel lied to the men in Act 1. For if the coming of the Holy Spirit was the second coming, then it was simply not in the same way. And to answer your question, yes I have gazed up into Heaven wandering if today was the Day. But for someone who is so...

    A new heaven and a new earth

    Please don't be sad for me. I enjoy the closeness of being God's son through adoption now, and I have a hope of better things to come. For if your hope is only for this present world then you are the one to be pitied. My hope gives me strength. It gives me strength to go on when I see...

    A new heaven and a new earth

    I think your post was to me.. maybe? You ask me can I 'see' it? No I can't. Can you explain your position a little better? Joshua David

    A new heaven and a new earth

    Who is he speaking too, his servants, Spiritual Israel. And I do see why you might think that the Old Heaven's and Earth might refer to Israel, but my point is that you haven't proven that it does. Look at it this way.. There is nothing to say that the first Heaven and Earth does not refer to...

    How Does God Know?

    I would say that my opinion is closest to DiDasKaLos. I too believe that God knows everything that is knowable. But I differ in a couple of different ways. I guess the differences result from my understanding of time. I do not see time as being this static, preset, unvariable thing like most...

    A new heaven and a new earth

    Truth, I want you to know that I have read your posts three or four times, to try to understand exactly where you are coming from, so that I do not knowingly take your words out of context when I reply. I tried very hard to follow your train of thought, and every time, I seem to run into a...

    END OF THE WORLD??

    I am curious, are you just against the idea of a pretribulation rapture, or against Jesus Christ personally coming back to earth to set up his Messianic Kingdom? Joshua David
