According to Christ He was! John 14:16-17 (KJV) And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth...

What did Christ mean when He said "the Kingdom of God is within you"? Ye must be born again to know and enter the Kingdom of God, because His Kingdom is not flesh and blood, but His Spirit in you. John 3:3-7 (KJV) Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a...

Christ was speaking to Pharisees who believed there would be a physical manifestation of the Kingdom of God on this earth. Christ tells them the Kingdom of God does not come with observation, IOW it is not a physical Kingdom of this world. For this reason we should not follow or believe those...

You have Christ returning when the sixth SEAL is opened, but John writes after the seventh SEAL is opened there are still seven angels to come with seven trumpets to sound, and John writes "time shall be no longer" when the seventh angel begins to sound. It is when time shall be no longer that...

What 7 year period are you referring to? I don't find this 7 year period in Scripture??? It is always read into the Scripture by dispensationalists, but does not come from Scripture!

It seems you often insist on having scholarly references! Do you believe one must be a Biblical scholar to understand Biblical doctrine? Does not the common Christian man not also have the Spirit to guide him within?

According to the Strong's Hebrew Dictionary H6389 the meaning of the name Peleg originates from a Hebrew word H6388 that is defined river, stream. This word originates from the Hebrew 6385 and is defined - divide. Strong's Hebrew Dictionary 6385. פָּלַג palag (pâlag) פָּלַג pâlag...

Not exactly! There was great tribulation that came to the nation of Israel from the wrath of God, and there is great tribulation that comes against the building of the spiritual Kingdom of God through the universal Church on earth that originates from the demonic spiritual realm. Since the...

I agree. I too believe the woman symbolizes the Old Covenant nation of Israel. The nation was to bring the Light of God to the earth, just as the sun and moon bring physical light to the earth. The twelve stars representing the nation from whom the Christ child would be born. I don't think...

I believe Jesus' warning of "great tribulation" was for both, what has come to pass to the nation of Israel by way of God's wrath. And also what shall come to pass for His Church on earth through spiritual warfare that originates from the demonic hosts and will not end until Christ comes again.

I'm thinking that since Christ is speaking to His disciples about things that shall greatly affect them, as well as things that shall affect the Church throughout the ages "great tribulation" by way of God's wrath did come upon "this people" when the Roman Army sacked Jerusalem destroying the...

Of course, it is all highly symbolic. Who is the woman clothed with sun and moon under her feet? What does a crown of twelve stars on her head symbolize? Who is the man child the woman brought forth? The child that was to rule the nations with a rod of iron?

Why would I leave out this verse? It supports what I've been saying. When our earthly body is dissolved (dies/returns to dust), we have a house in heaven. Not a physical body, but a spiritual body of believers. After the physical body of faithful saints breathes its last, we ascend to heaven...

Read Rev 12. You will see when Christ was born there was a war in heaven between Michael and his angels, and Satan and his angels, with Satan and his angels being cast out of heaven and to the earth.

I use the word 'implies' because the Bible does not lend credibility to that thought. It is not reasonable to believe Satan fell from a position because in the beginning he was something other than a liar and murderer. Satan did NOT fall, he was cast out of heaven and to the earth when Christ...

What is your experience when communicating with people who believe he fell? My experience is those who say this believe Satan is a created angel of God, but became arrogant, and defied God, causing the fall of mankind. This places man's fall and it's consequences within the power of those whom...

Yes, that works well also!

I make the distinction because saying Satan fell implies he was created to be something other than the murderer and liar he was from the beginning. People saying "Satan fell" typically think he was an angel of God, who through sin fell from that position and became evil. Showing that Satan...

It's comments such as this that make me reluctant to reply to your illogic! When a human, any human (saved & unsaved) physically dies their body returns to dust of the earth that it came from. Believers cannot be physical body after physical death before the last trumpet sounds. That's when...

The serpent was created "very good" for the purpose for which God created him.
