While there are Jewish organizations preparing for the reinstatement of "temple" worship, including the identification of legitimate descendants of Aaron for the priesthood, it would be difficult for religious scholars to justify the rebuilding of the temple without possession of the ark of the...

I think our official warning from God is found in scripture repeatedly. "Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming" Matthew 24:42 It's really pretty simple. Study the scripture, be about God's business, and watch for His return. He rebuked His contemporaries for not...

If you can accept the notion that we have entered the time of sorrows, the "travail" of the Earth , then everything happening in the world will be contributing to that final world system presided over by the "antichrist". I don't believe that any one person or group of people are intentionally...

Yes and no. We won't find if we don't seek, but there is One who is our teacher. It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me. John 6:45 8 But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your Teacher...

Fools argument.

My God is the Lord over all creation and I don't have to ask Him about any inconsistencies in scripture because there are none. The Word of God is complete and uncontradictory for those with eyes to see what it says. You must be born again! Perceived incongruity in scripture is misperception...

No one cares about opinion. Jesus wasn't a scholar, he simply read scripture as I do, ( Talk about ignorance.) You must be born again! (This is what Jesus said to a scholar of his day, a pre-eminent teacher in Israel.) 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will...

Its not really parlor statistics that matter, but public perception and discourse. I've heard the term used by people noticing any tattoo (and a business relying on creating tattoo art will always downplay the negative aspects of their work.) Again, what people do in life, for good or for evil...

And I don't doubt that there was a partial fulfillment of that scripture in the destruction of 70 AD, but a partial fulfillment is just that and no more. A literal interpretation of scripture tells us that the "last days" commenced with Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection, but continues until...

@michaelvpardo Do you think that in a general sense at least, these days it would be widely regarded as all part of the flourishing of a wife's personality? Including with Christian wives. (Leaving aside for a moment the difficulties you mentioned also.) I avoid the reference myself, but...

@farouk This was the first painting that I painted after many years of doing no artwork at all and I made some technical blunders. However I do like the way the waves came out and I find it as peaceful as the ocean on a nice day.

If you interpret the passage as you suggest (and many do) then God obviously made a mistake. This is one of the hardest verses to understand in light of actual history, but the Lord pointed out something very simple to me (it has to be simple or I won't understand it.) The Old testament...

The book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ covers the times of the great tribulation and the return of Christ. Its pretty specific on the sequence of events though admittedly it isn't strictly written in a chronological order from the beginning to the end, but goes back at times to look at...

1 Corinthians 11:26 is about participation in communion until Christ's return. Nothing in scripture says that He's returning twice. The resurrection of the dead in Christ will happen first and then we who are alive in Christ shall be transformed into our incorruptible bodies and rise up to meet...

We live in amazing times. I've never seen so many people so fearful of the future and for good reason. I love the word in the old English, from the King James version that I grew up with, "travail." It is the word describing the distress of this time, comparing it to the giving of birth. For...

Currently I'm trying to prepare for what comes after. Jesus could recreate the world on His return, make it entirely new again, but that's not what I see in scripture, at least nor for a thousand years. Life for the survivors, at least those in the "outer darkness" will be hard. The things that...

We don't have to. The Lord has kept back things even from His apostles when they were not yet ready to bear them, so understanding comes when needed. The important thing to remember is that the Lord, who does not lie, has promised to keep those that believe Him from any temptation that is...

I hadn't, but I just did.
