    New Heavens and New Earth

    Shalom, Justin Mangonel. I weep for you, brother. The crab nebula IS a beautiful thing and it was an observed event in 1054 A.D. (hence its designation as "SN 1054," Super Nova in 1054 A.D.), about the time that the Eastern Orthodoxy and the Western Roman Catholic Church parted ways! But, the...

    New Heavens and New Earth

    Shabbat shalom, jeffweeder. First, "heaven and earth" does not mean the entire universe. To the contrary, "heaven" means the "sky" and usually refers to the atmosphere around our planet. "Earth" means the "land," or on occasion specifically, the "Land" of Isra'el, the "ground," the "soil," or...

    Mitt Romney

    Shabbat shalom, terry. Yes, RIGGED, and I believe that the Electoral College is how they rigged it. One must face it: As much of the country was behind Romney, Obama's machinery took better advantage of the central population areas, and they won by electoral votes, in spite of how close the...

    Mitt Romney

    Shalom, Rex. And, what are we going to do about the financial cliff we're about to go over now? Look, while it is comforting to know that one is in the Messiah, in Christ, we have a RESPONSIBILITY to take care of the things intrusted to us as STEWARDS of God's "talents!" You can't FORCE...

    New Heavens and New Earth

    Shalom, Justin Mangonel. I don't know, would it matter to you if God decided to contradict what He had his prophets write? Would it matter to you if God made Himself out to be a liar? (thanks)

    New Heavens and New Earth

    Shalom, Justin Mangonel. Think of the entire universe as a LIVING thing! You don't make a human being "better" by killing him and then giving it back a new life! YOU HEAL HIM! Why does God need to reinvent the wheel for a flaw in one tiny speck of the universe?! Even if haSatan is a powerful...

    The end of the world? Not so fast.

    Shalom, Worshiper. Sorry to cut it short yesterday, but I was exhausted. The Gospel of the Kingdom is that which was well known among the Jews during Yeshua`s day. It is best seen in Yesha`yahu's prophecy: Isaiah 52:7 7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good...

    The end of the world? Not so fast.

    Shalom, again, Worshiper. Now to drop the other shoe. Worshiper, you and the others need to understand that this is the "Gospel of the Kingdom," not the "Gospel" with which you are familiar. It's not "another Gospel"; the "Gospel" we have heard today IS the "another Gospel!" Now, before you...

    Israel is the focus of the millennium

    Shalom, Justin Mangonel. Well, you're right about the nation of Isra'el being restored and being the dominant nation during the Millennium (because it will be the Messiah's Kingdom), but you are not quite right about them being "back under the Law." They already ARE "under the Torah!" However...

    Multiple prophecies of Obama re-election followed by FIRE

    Shalom, ENOCH2010. Sure. It's... Isaiah 17:1-2 1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. 2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. KJV Happy to be...

    The Rapture: Harmonizing differing viewpoints.

    Shalom, Justin Mangonel. Although God did not make Adam to sin, it WAS IN GOD'S PLAN that he would sin! You need to differentiate between the PLAN of God and the WILL of God. They are NOT the same thing! God doesn't WANT human beings to sin; it is not His WILL - His DESIRE - that they sin...

    Multiple prophecies of Obama re-election followed by FIRE

    Shalom, kaoticprofit. (And, now your name will come true.) Isra'el has this promise: Isaiah 54:1-17 1 Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the...

    The 144,000

    Shalom, Justin Mangonel. Cute. LOL! Nah, the Greek is good: "hekaton tesserakonta tessares chiliades" = "a-hundred forty four thousands."

    Mitt Romney

    Shalom, Rex. Yeah, I know, but it's the difference between swirling around and around while be flushed down the drain and going straight down the tube! The time is cut shorter by the likes of Obama in office.

    Mitt Romney

    Shalom, Gypsy, Elle, and Rex. Yeah, and they can do some AMAZING things with turkey these days! Turkey sausage, turkey baloney, turkey bacon, turkey ham,... The list seems to go on endlessly! Just add the right kind of spices to the meat, and voila! "Pork" that ISN'T pork! Look, whether he is...

    The Rapture: Harmonizing differing viewpoints.

    Shalom, Justin Mangonel. So you're saying that God revises His plan, CHANGES His plan, depending on the moment? Malachi 3:1-7 3 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the...

    The Word of God is too complicated to understand, is that really true?

    Shalom, Guestman. I don't know what version of the Bible you are using for this rendition of Matthew 13:11, but to translate "musteerion" (using "ee" for eta) as "sacred secrets" is taking liberties by those to whom such liberties are not granted! The word usually translated "holy" ("sacred")...

    New Heavens and New Earth

    Shalom, Justin Mangonel. It's simple really. God WILL NOT LOSE TO haSatan IN ANY WAY! Do you really think that God will have to "scrap the universe" on account of sin? NEVER! HE created the universe just as He wanted it to be! Neither mankind nor haSatan (a limited being, no matter how...

    The Rapture: Harmonizing differing viewpoints.

    Shalom, Justin Mangonel. God's original plan was NOT without the factor of mankind's sins. God doesn't have to revise His plan based on contingencies! Furthermore, haSatan is NOT the "yin" to God's "yang!" (Or, would it be the other way around? No matter.) HaSatan is NOT all-powerful in a...

    New Heavens and New Earth

    Shalom, Rex. Why should Mormons be the only ones who have a literal New Earth? I'm neither Mormon nor a "Jehovah's Witness," but I believe in a VERY literal and physical New Earth and New Sky (what the Greek word "ouranos" means) Sure, like veteran said, only the earth's surface (the "earth"...
