Shalom, all. Look, having a degree doesn't make one smarter than another or more likely to do this or do that. Having a degree simply means that one is smart enough to do the requirements that lead up to a school or institution conferring that degree upon that person. I have four degrees from...

Shalom, Prentis. For all that was said above, you need to understand something about the Greek of 1 John 1:9: Hal Lindsey said in his book Satan Is Alive and Well on Planet Earth in chapter twelve, "The Guilt Trip," (Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapids, MI, 1972, page 199)... Whatever...

Lo' shalom, daq. Nah, you've said enough to hang yourself. I'm not going to report you.

Lo' shalom, daq. Of COURSE, I believe that God does not dwell in naos-temples made with hands, but I believe it in the same sense that Shlomo (Solomon) said it in 2 Chronicles and 1 Kings: 2 Chronicles 2:3-6 3 And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David...

Shalom, friends. I wholly believe in "OSAS." Here's a simple way to view it: First of all, "salvation" is the WRONG WORD. In the Scriptures, "salvation" refers to the national rescue of Isra'el by God and His Anointed when He returns to earth. The TRUE terms for a right standing with God is...

Shalom, daq. That's just ignorant. The very fact that a naos-temple COULD be made with hands disproves your interpretation of Acts 17:24! The Greeks, who used the Classical Greek language long before it was dumbed-down into the Koine Greek language, the "Commoners' Greek," of the first century...

Shalom, daq. Again, you're just being contrary for contrariness' sake! The more you talk, however, the more you prove that you know NOTHING about Hebrew except what you can glean from a lexicon! You're always taking it away from the Hebrew and passing it to the Greek with no thought about the...

Shalom, daq. As usual, you're just being contrary ... and VERY ANNOYING! I'm surprised that you didn't say what I said earlier than I, but I'm not surprised that, just because I said it first, you had to disagree with me. Your statement, "Simon hoKananaios, ("the Canaanite")," is WRONG! Again...

Shalom, Wormwood. Yes, I can actually read Greek and do my studies in the NT directly from the United Bible Societies' Greek New Testament (Edited by Kurt Aland, Matthew Black, Carlo M. Martini, Bruce M. Metzger, and Allen Wikgren for the United Bible Societies, (c) 1966, 1968, 1975). For the...

Shalom, Wormwood, and since I don't know how soon I can finish this post, shabbat shalom, as well. (Shabbat starts at sundown with the sighting of the first three stars.) Good start. Now, let's think rationally: All of the words that are used for haSatan and his minions are not all necessarily...

Shalom, Guestman. Then you have an even BIGGER problem! Revelation 20:1-8 20 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a...

Shalom, PeterAV. Sorry, but that's not right. The word "Canaanite" was a mistranslation of the Greek word "Kananaios" which stems from the Hebrew word "qaanaa'" meaning "zealous!" He is Simon the Zealot! NT:2580a Kananaios (kan-an-ahee'-os); originating from the Hebrew [OT:7065, which see]; a...

Shalom, Wormwood. Actually, I'm not avoiding the point. I'm trying to get you to see that there are other solutions than to write "dragon" off as simply a mere symbolism. You said above that "Satan, according to biblical tradition, is a fallen angel," and I'm quite aware of that tradition...

Shalom, Michael. LOL! I have LOTS of opinions; that's why I try to stick to the Bible so often! Yes, you're absolutely right (again, IMO) that one who tries to fabricate the pretribulational rapture in the book of Revelation is INDEED altering the Scriptures, but are they the ONLY ones? I...

Shalom, Guestman. What I've said to the Full Preterists and Amillennialists, I say to you also: If Yeshua` began His reign in 1914, then His Kingdom is the weakest, most ineffectual kingdom in the world! I think it would be a DISGRACE for Him to admit that His Kingdom currently exists! The...

Shalom, Wormwood. Yes, it does because "dragon" refers to a "large snake or lizard." Shall we use your own quotations? Notice the part that I've highlighted in red above: The abbreviation "esp." means "especially," in other words, an instance of "serpent" is a "dragon" or an instance of...

Shalom, daq. Fooey. How do you like your crow, medium rare or well done? You'll have a TON to swallow, bro'! That was a LITERAL fig tree that was cursed and withered away - drying up from the roots! I don't know how you can live with your audacity, but you WILL answer to the Messiah Yeshua` for...

Shalom, daq. Wrong again, buddy. 1 Peter 5:8 contains that little, 2-letter word "AS" (Greek: "hoos" meaning "like" or "as"), making this definitely a SIMILE! Even the word "peripatei" (from "peripateoo" meaning "to trample around") doesn't truly refer to "walking around" but just "TRAMPLING...

Shabbat shalom, Guestman. Name dropper! You don't know how many times that old "hide me behind the pulpit" garbage has been the "magic fall-back" for millions of Bible "expositors!" "Following in Jesus' footsteps," indeed. Many down through the years have killed MILLIONS of Jews and believers...

Shalom, Guestman. Sorry, I'm not buying what you're trying to sell. Here's the Greek of Revelation 1:1-2: Apokalupsis 1:1 1 Apokalupsis Ieesou Christou heen edooken autoo ho Theos deixai tois doulois autou ha dei genesthai en tachei, kai eseemanen aposteilas dia tou aggelou autou too douloo...
