Not saying you are wrong...but...wouldn't the fact that: 1), he's God and can doing anything!, and 2) he's planning to re-make it all new, just like us (Romans 8:18-25; 2 Peter 3:6-10), mean that all that junk and waste would be 'melted' off? Just like our bodies will be sin free, so too shall...

Well, I never said we should go from Seal 6 to Seal 1. But when we read through the book we begin to find some commonalities that should really make us pay attention. The series of judgements have more in common than just have 7 judgements each. Here we have the Seal judgements. Notice in each...

It's going to be AWESOME! Sorry! Well. Um. How much can anyone really know? I think it will be inaugurated when Christ returns. I think we'll have physical bodies and be here on a physical earth. I think we'll work, but instead of toiling, it will be joyous. No weeds, no sickness, nothing...

The vast majority of what I posted was bible verses. So perhaps you should think twice before calling it fluff?? (Just saying :p) And I'm not assuming ignorance, I was just trying to plot it out to make it visually easier to follow. I'm a visual person. That's not disprespect on behalf of...

No, not hung up. I just felt led to point out something. But I think I have, so I'll drop it. In regards to your study. I agree that Revelation must be read as largely symbolic. The genre of the book calls for it. And not just the genre, but John himelf, in the first verse, when he says, "The...

I did suspect, but couldn't be sure. I was a little tongue in cheek (forgive me), with the "disagree to disagree about disagreeing"...but only because it all didn't seem to make much sense. Glad to have it sorted!

None of that made sense.

Stop. IF i go. Your planting your flag on the validity of the possible syntax and 'interpretation in a vacuum' of this verse, in particular the word "If". "If" I go. Implying, of course, that he did not go. But, if you're so intent on placing the verse in it's proper context...taking it out of...

Ah. Yes it was. I think that if God (in this case Christ) had wanted to tell Christians "return to me and I will return to you", he would have just said that, like God outright said it in the OT. Besides, you are missing quite a massive chunk of the gospel in this. The good news of Jesus is...

Okay. First, just let me say....o_O I commented on how Christ died for us. That's a pretty standard belief for...well...people who believe in Jesus. Christians. Those who claim Christ. Those who recongize he shed his blood for them. In their place. You know. You replied with bogglement. Which...

Hung up? No...it's not really causing me to loose sleep or get agitated, if that's how you mean 'hung up'. I just think that that particular paragraph shows your mentality behind your teaching here. I'm not at all sure your intent is to enter into meaningful conversation with others with the...

Sure, God grants me wisdom and understanding as they read his word, as they pray for it and seek it when they want him with all their heart. I agree with this as well. What I do not agree with is someone standing at the front of the class, so to speak, and declaring to all and sundry that 'his'...

Ha! No worries, I'm a bit the same! I was thinking this morning...it's way easier to blast off a reply when it's not really a serious conversation. When you need to really stop, think, track through scripture, you suddenly realize you've lost 2 hours! When I saw you had replied just now, I was...

I've always wondered about that! Is it the "royal we?" Or is Harvest actually a couple? Or...is he talking on behalf of his group of faith? Which is still a bizare way to express yourself...

You said: So...only those (which seems to be you, as you are stepping up as teacher) have "true" enlightenment. This blatantly means that those who mean to appeal against your teaching, according to you, do not have "true" enlightenment sent by God. You show from the very opening post that...

I don't have a problem with saying that we need the Spirit to lead us in understanding. I have a problem with you anointing yourself in the role of the one who has superior understanding excluding all others. If you truly think your understanding is from the Lord, present your case, complete...

So...first you say "you cannot quote his return even once"...so I do. Then you say, "well that's all well and good, but if you're looking at the word 'return' then how about this!" And throw some verses at me that have nothing to do with Christ's second coming! Zech 1:3 and Mal 3:7 are talking...

Um...did Christ not go to the cross for us? Did he not die for us? Did he not take our sins on the cross? Doesn't that make his death on our behalf? Shouldn't we remember this? How does that get a "um, wow"? Ah...are you thinking that I'm arguing for a reinstatement of animal sacrifices? Cause...

Oh yeah, totally get that! I try to answer these in the morning, but sometimes it just doesn't happen, then it all builds up! Life can be hectic, can't it?! I think his point was; biblical structure and genre matter, and it helps us determine what the author was was thinking and hoping to...

It equates to the same thing. "I have the special enlightenment only God can give...this is it! If you don't agree with what I've written here you do not have the special enlightenment God gives!" Of course, one can (and does) question if said interpretation does, in fact, come from God. My...
