Uh, you used a passage that describes the dead in Christ rising first. This is called the first resurrection in the book of the revelation chapter 20, which occurs at Christ's return and after the antichrist is revealed: 2 Thessalonians 2:3. Sorry, but you've believed a lie.

Authorized by who? Don't get me wrong, the KJV is the first version of scripture that I read as a child, but at least some scholars believe that the NKJV is a better translation while others would consider the NASB as the most accurate of modern translations. I'm currently reading through the...

When Jesus was doing His worldly ministry the Holy Spirit was not yet given to men. The "helper" was a promise until the resurrection of our Lord. Jesus preached the gospel of the kingdom, we preach the gospel of the resurrected Christ as delivered by Paul to the gentiles. If you want it from...

I've had a wee bit of experience with demonic entities and I know this to be true for those who have committed their hearts, minds, and souls to Jesus, the only begotten Son of God; Resist the devil and He will flee from you. Have you indeed put all your trust in Him? Have you believed that He...

How about the ancient basics? God is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. I'd go for the "solas" but there would be disagreement for sure.

Wow.

What translation are you using?

You're mixing translations of Hebrew and Greek (unless your referencing the septuagint) when comparing translation from Old and New testament scripture and the languages are quite disparate, Greek being highly specific while Hebrew being more dependant on context. I don't know the languages, but...

If they were so convinced, why John 6:66?

Just curious, what do you make of the myriads of appearances of "the virgin Mary", the archangel, Gabriel, and others reportedly witnessed by various devout Catholics over the last 2000 years? Fantasy? Wishful thinking? Joan of Arc claimed such visions, was she simply deluded? I've read about an...

I don't read Greek, but Young's literal translation uses the word principality, and would be more accurate than a later Latin translation such as the vulgate. Principalities are regions under the authority of princes. This doesn't rule out human authorities, but it would seem that human...

I thought that I should introduce into the discussion a concept of a higher order of thought. This being the sovereignty of God. Starting from our God's basic "traits of character or defining qualities," our God has defined His being in ways meant to express infinities. Our God is omnipotent...

I'm a little afraid to ask, but how do we know that an angel "does not have reproductive organs?" If that's actually true why do some angels have a pair of wings to cover their feet? That expression is supposedly a euphemism for covering their private parts, though I'm unconvinced .

I'd also like to mention something known by geneticists even before we had an understanding of the biochemistry of genetics. Men like Gregor Mendel experimented with cross breading of related strains and discovered a principal known as hybrid vigor. Hybrids of 2 species typically are incapable...

I've considered your theory in the past, with regard to Adam, but nothing in scripture supports the notion that Adam and Eve had children before the fall ( though they were most likely capable), but how then do you interpret Jude's statement in verses 6 and 7 of the short epistle by him? Jude...

Actually, the Lord accounted Noah as righteous for his faith, but he said this of men after the flood as well as before it: "the imagination of man's heart is evil from His youth" (Genesis 8:21). Also see Hebrews 11:7

What verses are you referring to?

If you say so junior.

I prefer to participate in less convoluted mechanisms of communication, but for the benefit of all who are being made to stumble by being goaded by the resident tare, here is an address for the Vatican where you can express your concern for the soul of a misguided appologist: Pope Francis PP...

I just realized that at least some of my responses have been tied to the wrong posts, while other responses were tied to nothing but appear as simple entries. At least some of the confusion here is being created by the site and some really poor coding.
