Shalom, Jacob_Rising. The Bible does talk about these things, but not exclusively. If you truly want to know about "body, soul, and spirit," you would do better to look up every occurrence of those words in the original languages and piece it together that way, rather than to use this kind of...

Shalom, Brothertom. No, sir! It's YOU who aren't getting it! I don't care WHICH calendar you use, ALL of them have some method of a "leap" correction! There are 365.2422 days per EXACTLY EVERY year! Whether you have a leap-DAY every fourth year or a leap-MONTH every so often MAKES NO...

Shalom, Jacob_Rising. Okay, but what about all the other numbers? One, the number of God. Two, the number of witness. Four, the number of the earth. Four seasons, four compass directions, 12 (4x3) months in a year, ... Five, the number of grace. Six, the number of man. Seven, the number of...

Shalom, Pilgrimer. I respectfully disagree with you. I believe that the "last days madness," as you call it, are the baby steps of getting back to the original teachings of the Master and His disciples in the first century, discarding the errors of the Nicolaitans (a church hierarchy) and...

Shalom, Pilgrimer (and you, too, jdbrown). You both have the right idea that this was about "those in Judaea" or in Judah or Y'hudah, but you have the timing completely off. Think BROADER! First of all, the first half of the seventieth Seven (from Dani'el 9) was fulfilled in the "ministry"...

Shalom, Jacob_Rising. Sorry, but that is just TOO much allegorizing. It might be time for you to look up the concept of a non sequitur and review the techniques of logic development. You're making a "connection" that the text does not support.

Shalom, Joe. That's nuts, bro. "2520 = 7 X 360 / 365.35 = 6.899 years"?! Every time I see this garbage I want to scream! There's NO SUCH THING as a "360-day prophetic year!" Stop using it!

Shalom, Eric. Ever hear the statement, "Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it"? Well, for the understanding of Bible prophecy, there's a corollary: "Those who don't learn the fulfillment of prophecy in history THINK they are doomed to repeat it!" Yeshua`s (Jesus') warning...

Shalom, Michael. Yes! I love that translation! David Stern has some valuable insights, and attempts to keep the two halves of the Bible, the Tanakh (OT) and the B'rit Chadashah (NT), consistent. There's a few flaws as there are in ANY human attempt at translation, but for the most part, his...

Shalom, Michael. Are you sure that you can't approach the pulpit that way? When have you ever known me not to write with conviction in what I believe? But, when push comes to shove, even though I am TOTALLY convinced in what I believe, I must still qualify what I've said with a statement that...

Shalom, veteran. Somehow, you still managed to miss my point about finger-pointing. For all that is wrong with the pretribulational rapture position, what's RIGHT with anyone else's view?! Those who say, "I have the right to show them their error," need to LISTEN to what they are saying and...

Shalom, Dodo_David. I agree. There's too many conspiracy theories out there that have little basis in fact and a LOT in imagination. Besides, what are we to do with any information that may be true? How can we affect what is going on to make a change? Conspiracy theories are matters that we...

Shalom, Dodo_David. There's a limit to what is possible with God and what is PROBABLE with God. We know that all things are possible with God, but NOT ALL THINGS ARE EXPEDIENT! For instance, to use the old argument: Sure, God is powerful enough to make a rock so big that He can't move it ...

Shalom, Wormwood. Well, we can agree to disagree without being disagreeable. I'm not saying that there isn't some symbolism in Revelation 12, but symbolism on symbolism takes away some of the meaning of the passage, IMO. Regardless, may God bless your language studies. I've found that the...

Shalom, Inmate. Peace to you, friend. You're not wrong to long for happier days, and you're not wrong about the New Earth (which IS "heaven," by the way, the "New Heaven" or the "New Sky"). As God said, "the man was made for the earth" and "the earth was made for the man." Genesis 1:26-31 26...

Shalom, Wormwood. Thank you for your kind remarks, brother. I'm glad we can converse on a more level playing field. I only mentioned modern Greek because a person who knows modern Greek would have much less to overcome to learn Koine. I'll back-pedal a little, as well: Etymology is helpful, but...

Shalom, This Vale Of Tears.

Shalom, Vale of Tears. "Once justified by God, always justified by God" does NOT naturally lead to Calvinism, particularly 5-point (TULIP) Calvinism. While I was growing up in a Fundamental Baptist church, we were taught that we were to consider ourselves "3-point Calvinists." That is, of the...

Shabbat shalom, Wormwood. Wow! Now even the moderators attack one's character? What did I say? Didn't I say that I read Greek just fine? Didn't I say that I "do my studies in the NT directly from the United Bible Societies' The Greek New Testament?" That is NOT an interlinear! Furthermore, it...

Lo' shalom, daq. Hmff. You don't want an explanation; you want a fight. You can't take criticism against your ideas without it being criticism against yourself, but I've tried over and over NOT to attack the person but what I perceive is the problem, and every time you escalate it into some...
