    The Two Witnesses

    As kriss has already stated, Matthew 11:14 documents that IF John had been received, he would have been it. HOWEVER, his head ended up literally on a platter.Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: It's not in the spirit...

    No Second Coming.

    Agree with kriss here.I'm just going to step in to say that if you change your status to nonChristian, then you will be relegated to the nonChristian forums. It's not very fair for everyone else if I do otherwise.Matthew 24:24-27 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall...

    The Great Commission...teach Torah!

    Agreed.This is probably the verse I cite most common, but I think so many people skip over it and much of the entire chapter because it's all about this very subject.Matthew 5:17-18 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily...

    Why do people say this?

    Arrogance.The idea of gods - the first thing put in the way of God - has evolved into humans as gods. I think one of the biggest reasons people are not Christian, or religious in general, is it's too difficult for them to accept something bigger than them. I think that's why those who do not...

    God and slavery

    And then Christ came and performed the acts of a slave and died a death that was worse. Slavery was a way of life, and yes, we view it as morally reprehensible these days, but the times were different. In many cases, a slave had a better life than he/she would have otherwise had.Israel even...

    Is age a problem?

    As this was one of the quotes form the first post in this thread, my comments aobut church leadership is relevant. And so do you propose to redefine novice to also mean young in age?Let's even take it back to the Greek.http://cf.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon...ngs=G3504&t=kjvNeophytos hence...

    Need Old Testament scholars on this one!

    If verse 20 is speaking of going trough the tribulation then who are the ones resurrected in vs. 19? I Thesslonians 4:13-15 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus...

    Is age a problem?

    ONE. Jesus was without sin. Thank you, that proves my point. He was without sin, so him teaching at a young age would not be one.I'll ignore the rest, thanks, they get farther and farther away from the answer as I follow them down. TWO. You never base any doctrine or belief on one verse of...

    Need Old Testament scholars on this one!

    Scriptures Please! With all due respect you might try the same. Nobody in the Ark was killed, Lots wife turn to salt (do not get that one) the others escaped, No one behind the post with the blood on it was killed. I wanted to reach back to this comment and make a point. I would even add the...

    Need Old Testament scholars on this one!

    Isaiah 19:20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. I am sorry, but anyone that would quote that to mean a rapture is frankly standing on a lot of hot air. Clearly, this is not...

    Is age a problem?

    Marksman, what's your thoughts on Jesus teaching in the temple at a young age, which is documented? Does God violate what he would later say in his Word?

    Whats the meaning?

    What scripture is this? II Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; I'll let you look it up to check me out, but do some research on...

    Blessings

    The disparity is because people can donate to others and there are different values for the offtopic forums as opposed to the others.

    The Unforgiveable Sin - who is God warning?

    Well, in that case, thanks for clarifying that for me because this statement led me to believe otherwise. But they blasphemed the power behind Christ work. That is the Holy Spirit. Can there be salvation without the Holy Spirit?What do you mean by the Holy Spirit being conditional? The Holy...

    Whats the meaning?

    First, if God wanted everyone to be saved, then, Everyone will be saved! II Peter 3 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

    The Unforgiveable Sin - who is God warning?

    Wait a second here.We agree that we have have to repent before we receive God's freely given Grace and the forgiveness of our sins. If the unforgivable sin was merely those that refused God and mocked Christ, what about Paul? Wouldn't God have had to bend the rules for him considering he not...

    All sins are not equal!!

    Interesting study, but I could simplify it even further for you. The presence of a sin that is explicitly unforgivable whereas others can be forgiven speaks for itself in regards to levels.Matthew 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the...

    Moved you over to the proper forum for a welcome. As Two said, we're trying to get away from the denominational attacking that goes on. However, do feel free to address doctrines and share you experiences so that others may learn.
