Shalom, Brothertom. Yeah, I don't have a problem seeing a reference to "LIKE a flood" or "AS a flood" being symbolic. However, when it says it "WAS" a flood, then I have to pay attention to the likely possibility that it would be a literal flood. Shalom, BiggAndyy. I did a little quick...

Shalom, BiggAndyy. Well, if the "flooding" mentioned in Luke 21 is just some symbolic words, then maybe the darkening of the sun, moon, and stars is also just symbolic? I don't think either is true.

Shalom, terry. It doesn't matter how many people say that "giraffes are purple"; giraffes are NOT purple! It doesn't matter how many theologians say that the "prophetic year" is 360 days! That still doesn't make them correct! The solar year, upon which the planting and harvesting cycle is...

Shalom, tim_from_pa. Yeah, I know the kind of preachers you are talking about. I was born in 1957 to a Baptist minister (independent, fundamental, Fellowship Baptist, btw) and grew up in the church, almost literally. Until the time I got the mumps when I was twelve, I had NEVER missed a...

Shalom, terry. Only if you live in Isra'el, my friend (or Gaza or Lebanon or Egypt...). And, the word "ark" and the word from which it comes, the Hebrew word "teevaah," both mean "BOX." I think the comments in Luke 21:25 about a flood and in Revelation 12 may be related to the ocean impact of...

Shalom, Brothertom. Sorry, brother, but both of these terms are MISNOMERS! "Heaven" is actually the New Jerusalem landed upon New Earth with its New Sky in the future. The Greek word "ouranos" was translated in the KJV as the new "heaven," but it refers to the atmosphere around the New Earth...

Shalom, tim_from_pa. I was thinking the same thing, but when I got to the part about "the river Stix," I lost it! LOL! This is nothing short of Greek mythology! There is NO such river, according to the Bible! It was common in the Dark Ages and even on into the Reformation to put much emphasis...

Shalom, daq. Fortunately, you were writing to me. Others on this forum might accuse you at this point of being an unbeliever because you don't understand the justification process that God has established for what most term "salvation." However, I understand that a person can still experience...

Shalom, daq.

Shalom, daq. You said... I don't judge the person; I judge the message. I count you as a brother and will continue to do so. And, show me again: where have you "proven my judgment is false"? And, where will I be when I am being judged by Yeshua` (for He does all the judging)? I'll stand there...

Shalom, daq. I receive your statement as simply another accusation based in 2 Peter 3:16 of "wresting" the Scriptures. However, that is one of the very reasons I quote full passages of Scripture, (which apparently offends some here). If I take Scripture verses out of context then please show...

Shalom, ENOCH2010. I believe we may have discussed this earlier in another thread, but what do you know about the "fellers?"

Shalom, daq. This is a frequent mistake that well-meaning Christians make that should be corrected: The "heart" is NOT talking about the "blood pump" that we carry in our chests. "Heart" is an English translation of the Greek word "kardia" but the LATIN translation of that word is "cor" from...

Shalom, Brothertom. LOL! You DO know that Abel was not the ancestor of Noah, right? Abel was killed before he had children. SETH was born to Adam to take Abel's place after Abel was killed. Just noticed this in re-reading your post.

Shalom, daq. It's really quite simple. You are not allowing the Scriptures to speak for themselves; you ARREST them to say what YOU want them to say. That's how I know that YOU are the one who is "trying too hard." The Scripture verses you just quoted from Hoshea's (Hosea's) book are a good...

Shalom, BiggAnddy and Foreigner. Globally, you both are correct; however, LOCALLY, there can still be floods of water. Remember: God gave His promise, but His promise was in a global sense: Genesis 9:8-17 8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, 9 And I, behold, I establish...

Shalom, Alanforchrist. Luke 21:36 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. KJV To "escape all these things that shall come to pass" does NOT mean that one must LEAVE THE EARTH...

Shalom, terry. Not to worry; you haven't missed it. I believe that what is described is the near miss of an asteroid or comet. It eclipses the sun and partially eclipses the moon at the same time. What we have from the sixth seal through the fifth trumpet is a meteor shower. And actually...

Shalom, daq. You're trying too hard, and you're missing the point! Yeshua` was talking to the P'RUSHIYM!!! Are you trying to tell me that you think the Kingdom of God was "within" THEM?! I think you'd be hard pressed to win THAT argument, if that's what you're trying to say! It's time to come...

Shalom, daq. I wish I had a nickel for every time a well-meaning believer misquotes Luke 17:20-22! I'd be a very wealthy man! Do yourself a favor and study this passage in the Greek; don't just look at one or two Greek words and think you understand it. Kata Loukan 17:20-22 20 Eperooteetheis...
