    Shalom, daq. Again, you have not answered the question, but I guess I've gotten as good an answer as I can expect to get. I'll leave you alone, now.

    Shalom, daq. No derailing intended. In fact, it gets the thread back on track: How do we know that the Temple is intact if NOBODY'S HOME?! AM I talking to a fellow believer or not? Just answer the question, and I'll leave you alone! I'll tell you what, I won't even comment on what your write if...

    Shalom, dragonfly. No. I phrased it exactly as I meant it. Not everyone trusts in a "whom" (which I think is where you're going with this question). Some trust in their baptism. Some trust in their good deeds. Some trust in the sacraments. Some trust in the fact that their saintly mother loved...

    Shalom, daq. Not at all. It's not "witchcraft" to bear witness of what Yeshua` did for you! To "adjure" just simply means... adjure |əˈjo͝or|verb [ with obj. ] formal urge or request (someone) solemnly or earnestly to do something: I adjure you to tell me the truth. DERIVATIVES...

    Shalom, ajdiamond. Which all serves to tell me that you don't know what you'd say if God were to ask you why He should let you into His heaven. Nuff said. Shalom, daq. And, neither do you.

    Shalom, ajdiamond and daq. As I said, no answer is an answer.

    Shalom to those who use the "supernal" words: I'm going to press it further: I ADJURE you by the living God, YHWH, El Elyon, to give your answer.

    Shalom, SelectThis!, ajdiamond, and anyone else like you. This only will I ask, and how you answer this question will determine for me whether you could really be considered a brother or not. I do not believe in heaven, per se, but ... If God were to ask you, "Why should I let you into my...

    Shabbat shalom, ajdiamond. Before I start, did I ever say that the "kingdom of heaven" was different than the "kingdom of God?" No, I agree; they are the same Kingdom; they are just different phrases to identify that Kingdom. The problem is thinking that this means that the "kingdom of...

    Shalom, dragonfly. Yeshua`s victory on the cross - that Roman execution stake - was thorough but it was not complete. All the seeds for all of His conquests were accomplished at that time, but they have NOT all come to fruition, yet. Only someone wearing those proverbial "rose-colored glasses"...

    How close is the Seven Year Tribulation?

    Shalom, veteran. What we all need to understand is that "at the time of the end" does NOT mean "at the end of time!" As you read, when you come to such a phrase, ask yourself, "What does "at the time of the end" mean?" "At the end OF WHAT?" "What does the CONTEXT say?" Let's look again at this...

    All of Scripture is a Prophecy Foreshadowing the Day of the Lord

    Shalom, SelectThis! (Soon to be a shabbat shalom!) Sorry, but this is really R - E - A - C - H - I - N - G! For instance, carbon (6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons) is NOT an example of "the mark of the beast!" Who MADE carbon, anyway? Are you saying (in such a claim) that GOD made "the mark...

    Shalom, dragonfly. LOL! Most Jews and Isra'elites don't even READ the NT! They wouldn't even BOTHER to "justify their belief" with words written in Romans! I've NEVER said that God hasn't tried to communicate with His people Isra'el, but a CONVERSATION requires TWO-WAY communication. Hard to do...

    Amillenialism, True or False?

    Shalom, Rach. I have offended you, and I am truly sorry for my offense. I was too aggressive in my approach, and no, it was not (or should not) have been directed at you personally. Please understand: sarcasm can be interpreted as mere irony, although it can also be taken as causticity. Of...

    Amillenialism, True or False?

    Shalom, horsecamp. Millennialists (at least, those who study the Scriptures) know that Yeshua` will indeed reign forever (Luke 1:30-33). However, there is also the mention of a "millennium," Latin contraction for "a thousand years" (Greek: chilia etee, using "ee" for eta), in Revelation 20:1-7...

    Amillenialism, True or False?

    Shalom, Wormwood. I don't believe that ANYONE here thinks that there weren't symbols in the Bible. However, there's a BIG difference between symbology (the study of symbols) and symbolatry (a "coined" word for the WORSHIP of symbols for symbols' sake)! The allegorical method of interpretation...

    Shalom yowm richown (A sunday of peace) to you, dragonfly. Stick to the Scriptures. Yeshua` has NOT "already slain the dragon!" To the contrary, he is "walking about, seeking whom he may devour" just fine. You need to understand that the dragon, haSatan, is not even chained or locked up in...

    Shabbat shalom, ajdiamond. Wow, oh, wow! Have you even TALKED to a little child recently?! If you told a little child that the "kingdom of God is within you," the child would smile broadly and say, "Heee! Heee!" look out the window and scream, "A PUPPY!" Then, he'd run off! Just like that, he'd...

    Shabbat shalom, daq. I wasn't going to say anything to your attacks; so, I was reluctant to say anything to you at all. But, I looked at your last message and what you don't realize about your "unbroken Scripture chain of events" is that there is a cause-and-effect aspect to the chain. The...

    Shalom, ENOCH2010. Brother, you're never going to get a straight answer. Why do you bother?
