Used to work with a fellow that said you had to be physically submerged in water to be saved. He went to the Church of Christ. The guy was very divisive. He automatically said believing in Christ as described in Romans 10, was not salvation, anyone sprinkled by water in a church by a minister...

“For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body.” Performed by God. I Agree that a water baptism is not the baptism that saves Paul was glad, thanking God he had not baptized anyone 1 Corinthians 1 10 Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all...

Already have, you just ignore all of it. As have many others. I think your dislike of AMil has closed your mind to one particular part of Paul's teaching in 2 Thessalonians 1

I don't know how you can just blow off the words of Jesus and the apostles like you do. Long time ago, i was pretrib, but never strongly pretrib, because it always seemed to oddly be at odds with what I would read in scripture. After awhile I realized the left behind authors and all those...

Your truth denies the existence of a spiritual entity of evil called the devil, Satan.

Undoubtedly parts of Revelation are symbolic. About no more sea, the angel explains, Revelation 1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying [a]to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, 2 with whom the...

Psalm 97 10 You who love the Lord, hate evil! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked. The above, I could see OT people comparing hating evil to refer to the people who are evil, as including the wicked worshipers of demonic gods of other nations.

About the strongest possible comparison is this Psalm 139 21 Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You? 22 I hate them with [a]perfect hatred; I count them my enemies.

Our bodies are made of the dust of the earth. Our new glorified bodies will bear the image of the heavenly man. We are given an eternal enduring life of the same nature of God. That is what it means to be spiritually born again of God, that you may be partakers of the divine nature. 2 Peter 1:4...

This joining as one as in a marriage speaks of an intense intimacy of Christ and His church, of God and His people, of an indivisible relationship of love, that the two become like one. 1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I...

For saved men, this can be finetuned to be made in the image of Christ, who is in the visible image of the invisible God. Romans 8:29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 1 Corinthians 15:49 And...

The Parable of the Tares Explained 36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.” 37 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the...

Yes, we inherit the new earth as the scripture says like this, 2 Peter 3:12-14 New King James Version 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we...

Very weak alcohol was a disinfectant for water borne illnesses which easily can be deadly. Drinking plain water has been a serious health risk especially bad for the very young causing diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration, food poisoning, sickness leading to death, especially so back then with no...

What opinions does anyone have on v13 regarding food and stomach being destroyed? Paul is talking of those who will inherit the kingdom of God. v13, 'Them' can be assumed to be these who are of the works of the flesh, they will be destroyed Stomachs eat earthly foods, foods are for earthly...

I always thought that after Adam and Eve died, He let them back into the 'garden of Eden', this would be later called Abraham's Bosom, the place where the righteous saints of God of the OT went when they died. It was still a place of the dead, not heaven, but a place where they received good...

You can know God provided forgiveness when God sacrificed 2 animals for Adam and Eve, and He spoke a promise to them about the Messiah to come Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His...

I love how God provided a way back to Himself for Adam and Eve.
