    As Night at Noon Day

    Shabbat shalom, Eric. First of all, you need to understand the Hebrew word "erets," spelled alef-segol-reish-segol-tsadday, and translated as "earth." This word is NOT generally talking about the planet; it's usually talking about the "Land" of Isra'el! The word simply means the "ground." It...

    Fire breathing dragons

    Shalom, Boaz. Two things one should remember: First, a "dragon," particularly in the English translations of the Hebrew Tanakh (the Old Testament), means simply "a large lizard or reptile." OT:8577 tanniyn (tan-neen'); or tanniym (Ezek 29:3) (tan-neem'); intensive from the same as OT:8565; a...

    Millennialism/Amillennialism

    Shalom, Poppin. Agreed. We should remain civil to each other and other brothers and sisters in the Messiah. You would have good arguments IF you had valid arguments. However, they are based on faulty definitions and that is a problem that I feel we need to investigate. What do you define as...

    P.S.A. Are we sure?

    Shalom, lukethreesix. First, responding to a previous post, you've gotta understand that "salvation" is the WRONG WORD. It is rather "justification by God." As such, by the way, there is NOTHING that we can do to be righteous with God; God must DECLARE us to be "His righteousness," in SPITE of...

    Strange Fire - A Pentecostal Response

    Shalom, Poppin. I wasn't forgetting your question, but I felt I owed Angelina an apology first. Also, the emoticons might better explain what I meant by a "gift of prophecy." I'm not claiming to be a prophet; I'm just claiming to have a "unique" revelation from God ABOUT the prophecies as...

    Strange Fire - A Pentecostal Response

    Shalom, Angelina. I apologize for the misunderstanding. I sorry; I forget that people can't see you smile in a letter. (I really need to use more emoticons!) Please allow me to amend my previous statements: Never underestimate the power of the Ruach haQodesh! :D One doesn't have to speak in...

    the days of vengeance - Luke 21

    Shalom, Poppin. Yes and yes.

    Millennialism/Amillennialism

    Shalom, Poppin. Do you really think that "to the Jew first and also to the Greek" no longer applies?! Do you really think that Paul said, "Well, I've been to the Jews, now it's time to move on to the Gentiles"? Don't populations continue to grow? What a load of malarky! You've been fed a HUGE...

    "Common Salvation" and "So great a salvation"

    Shalom, Prentis. This is not the word for the "justification by God." It is the word that means "deliverance" or "rescue." They are one and the same. The "common salvation" is the rescue that is to be experienced by ALL God's people, both Jews and Gentiles, when Yeshua` returns and rescues His...

    Strange Fire - A Pentecostal Response

    Shalom, Angelina. First of all, nonsense; I don't have to be in an accident to witness the accident and testify about it! Second, I will pray with the Spirit, I will pray with the understanding also! 1 Corinthians 14:12-25 12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek...

    P.S.A. Are we sure?

    Shalom, lukethreesix. The wages of sin IS death, but that includes the SECOND death! Even if they are unconscious in the grave, they have YET to pay that price! Listen: After God sent His ONLY Beloved Son to be the propitiation for sin forever and to perform the otherwise totally impossible...

    Millennialism/Amillennialism

    Shalom, Poppin. Continue the quote: Ephesians 2:14-22 14 For he is our peace, who hath made both (Gentiles and Israel) one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to...

    Strange Fire - A Pentecostal Response

    Shalom, UHCAlan. The problem is the WEIRD things that people do and say, claiming that they are doing them through the Ruach haQodesh Elohiym (the Holy Spirit of God), when they have absolutely no Scriptural support at all for what they do and say! I'm not saying that God can't do something new...

    P.S.A. Are we sure?

    Shalom, lukethreesix. You mean like ... Revelation 21:8 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. KJV...

    P.S.A. Are we sure?

    Shalom, lukethreesix. Prove it. Where are YOUR Scriptures?

    P.S.A. Are we sure?

    Shalom, lukethreesix. Sure. Romans 6:23 23 For the wages (paycheck) of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. KJV 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21 For since by man came...

    As Night at Noon Day

    Shalom, Eric. I hope you're not teaching that stuff to others! There's no such thing as a "permanent solar eclipse!" A true solar eclipse is the interposing of the moon between a point on the earth and the sun. The moon casts its shadow on the surface of the earth. Furthermore, in a total solar...

    What required for going to Heaven?

    Shalom, KingJ. Not at all. See, the earth was created specifically for mankind and mankind was created to live upon the earth. Think about this a moment: In the garden of `Eden, all was perfect because a perfect God concluded... Genesis 1:31 31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    Shalom, Ernest T. Bass. You keep using these verses; let's look at them: 1 Tim. 5:12 is found within this context: 1 Timothy 5:3-15 3 Give proper recognition to those widows who are really in need. 4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their...
