    JW's, SDA's, Unitarians and Mormons

    The eternal gospel (everlasting gospel)

    Responding to your comment below that hints Eve isn’t the mother of all people: Eve was definitely the mother of every single sinner ever born. She was not the mother of every living thing created.

    JW's, SDA's, Unitarians and Mormons

    SDA isn’t a cult. They have some unusual beliefs, but aren’t a cult according to Dr. Walter Martin in his book, the kingdom of the cults.

    The eternal gospel (everlasting gospel)

    The Israelites accused Moses of murder- but he was protecting a slave from being beaten and killed the guard in the ensuing fight. That’s not murder.

    The eternal gospel (everlasting gospel)

    Scripture says through one man, sin came upon all men. Rom 5:12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— Rom 5:17 For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more...

    No Pre-Trib Rapture, The Church Will Be Present On Earth To See The Tribulation And Second Coming

    The abomination of desolation is the middle of Daniel 70th week, not the beginning of it. Jesus described much more than just God’s wrath, then says we can escape ALL THOSE THINGS coming on the world. - not just one aspect of what He described 11. (Luk 21:34-38) How to live in the last days...

    Jerusalem Is The Whore, Mystery Babylon The Great Of Revelation Chapter 17

    You have to explain how demons possessing a man’s body, with the house with many rooms that the redeemed will live in, are connected.

    No Pre-Trib Rapture, The Church Will Be Present On Earth To See The Tribulation And Second Coming

    Your obvious problem is, the sword is the tool of destruction. The rod of iron means struct discipline is imposed on the nations - the rod represents disciplining as in Spare THE ROD, and spoil the child.

    Jerusalem Is The Whore, Mystery Babylon The Great Of Revelation Chapter 17

    The fact of there being a general tribulation for 3.5 years followed by great tribulation is because the beast is only given power to give the mark of the beast and demand worship for 42 months, says scripture - and it’s obvious the mark wouldn’t be given at the start of the tribulation, then...

    Jerusalem Is The Whore, Mystery Babylon The Great Of Revelation Chapter 17

    A metaphor is vague: a farmer planted a crop in his field. A farmer named Fred, 5 feet 10 inches tall and 170 lbs, planting soybeans on 100 acres using a John Deer tractor and 7 bottom plow, is literal, not symbolic. The obvious way to interpret the Bible is to take it literally when it makes...

    Jerusalem Is The Whore, Mystery Babylon The Great Of Revelation Chapter 17

    The bride lives in the city. It’s prepared AS a bride, it doesn’t say it IS the bride. Because God puts the names of the apostles and tribes of Israel into the city, doesn’t mean the city itself is a metaphor. The descriptions of it are far too detailed to be symbolic. Symbols aren’t 1500...

    No Pre-Trib Rapture, The Church Will Be Present On Earth To See The Tribulation And Second Coming

    In Luke 21, after Jesus describes the great tribulation events, He says in verse 36, to pray that they be found worthy to escape all those things. The church goes through general tribulation for 3.5 years and is taken out just before the mark is given - the great tribulation is the time of...

    No Pre-Trib Rapture, The Church Will Be Present On Earth To See The Tribulation And Second Coming

    That Jesus lands on earth and rules the nations with a rod of iron at His second coming is beyond crystal clear in scripture. That is a literal and physical kingdom.

    Jerusalem Is The Whore, Mystery Babylon The Great Of Revelation Chapter 17

    You need to learn how to interpret the Bible. Metaphors are vague. The description of the new Jerusalem city is far too detailed and too specific to possibly be a metaphor.

    Will there be or is there a need for a future Messianic temple age?

    Revelation 20:11 seems to be poetical or metaphorical, else how can the sea give up its dead in verse 13, if the earth and seas had already been destroyed in verse 11? Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Albert Barnes: The earth and the heaven fled away - That is, as the...

    Jerusalem Is The Whore, Mystery Babylon The Great Of Revelation Chapter 17

    The place Jesus went to prepare for us to dwell in, comes down from heaven and is 1500 miles long and wide, the city New Jerusalem, per Revelation 21. Yes, it’s a literal city. Metaphors aren’t that specific - we’re give it’s height, width, length, number of gates, thickness of the walls...

    John 3 - Born of Water and Spirit

    FIVE opinions outlined in a commentary on the water in John 3: Okay, this David Guzik commentary lays out and discusses the five common interpretations that are out there, and it includes the opinions I’ve seen in the OP, including mine, which is that the water is living water, but this may...

    No Pre-Trib Rapture, The Church Will Be Present On Earth To See The Tribulation And Second Coming

    Yes, there will be a tribulation church after the mid-trib rapture, as those who were left behind get saved, not to mention the lukewarm Christians who weren’t found worthy to escape the great tribulation, per Luke 21:36, will be part of that post rapture church.
