I find the study of prophecy very interesting, especially where it reveals Christ and the Church, and there is nothing that I ignore though I admittedly don't understand everything. I'm of the opinion that the Lord has only revealed to the Church those things that we need to know and at the...

I'm no pastor, just an over the hill technician who has been born again through faith in the shed blood of our Savior. I have read the Bible since I was a child (about 8 years of age), one of the first books that I ever read through, but didn't understand the seeming contradictions until about...

While it is possible that nuclear warfare may be a part of the way that God brings judgment, the beginning of your argument combines two different visions into 1 in order to support your ideas which is never a sound exegetical practice (just take a look at any pre-trib rapture doctrinal message...

How many innocent lives need to be snuffed out to constitute a war crime? The numbers you've quoted are a drop in the bucket as compared to legal abortions in the US alone. Its been 30 years since I served in the US military, but that was still 40 years after the end of WWII, and I still met...

Having been saved out of a back ground that included alcohol and drug abuse I believe that I can tell you that intoxicants may make a person more susceptible to spiritual influences of a fallen nature. That's the reason that alcohol has long been referred to as "spirits." A fellow named Carlos...

This last week I heard John MacArthur give a "timely" message about the Supreme court decision to affirm the rights of "gay couples" to be married, in which he named the highest court in the country to be given over to a reprobate mind, and also declared this as an act of God's judgment upon the...

I served in the USAF during "the war on drugs" though I got no closer to it than a radio receiver site in Southern California, changing frequencies for communications to AWACS aircraft. Reagan was president, his wife was telling America's youth to "just say no", and the CIA was financing black...

I kind of got that on one of my last readings of Deuteronomy. I've been doing my daily readings from the CJB (Complete Jewish Bible) which gives modern renderings according to the translator's understanding, and when I encounter something that I haven't noticed before, I look at the passage in a...

I don't really have answers to all of your questions, but I'm currently reading the book of Ezekiel in my daily readings, and while it could be argued that the judgments all correspond to the times leading up to 70AD, I believe that all scripture is given to the saints for our edification and in...

2 Thessalonians 2:6-7 is one of the more obscure passages in scripture, but you seem to be hinting at an Angelic restrainer, which is as reasonable as any other explanation. Chapter 9 has two similar passages with angelic beings releasing others that have been bound and held for a time of...

I've been meditating upon two verses from Isaiah for a month or two now. I'd read them many times before, but never really considered the full implications: 1. The righteous perishes, and no man takes it to heart; merciful men are taken away, while no one considers that the righteous is taken...

Many Christians are familiar with the Westminster Shorter Catechism’s definitions and would say that the purpose of man is to glorify God: “Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him for ever.” I wouldn’t argue against the proposition that all men will glorify God, but is it...

According to a book written by one of their own, The Builders, A Story and Study of Masonry by Joseph Fort Newton, (available for free to Amazon Prime members and on the Kindle), published back in 1914, George Washington was sworn in as the 1st president of the USA by the great master of New...

I think that we might be asking "Does America really exist anymore?" I was listening to a story on the news about a week or so ago, about a maritime disaster in the Mediterranean. When did refugees become "migrants"?

Yes. absolutely. I would much rather be mistaken than correct and if that were the case, there would be no point to my existence.

Thanks for pointing this out. I've read the verses many times without noticing what they say (or the difference). This makes a bit more sense of the things which the Lord had shown me about the 1st and 2nd resurrections. One of my last readings of the book of the revelation gave me the...

Rough, but true enough. I always appreciate your stand.

Okay Stan, I have some good news and some bad news for you. The Lord doesn't want me to treat you unkindly and to be careful about what I uproot, so the good news is that He will deal with you Himself. The bad news is that He will deal with you Himself. In three days He will visit you with...

Stan, you are without a doubt the most foolish person I've had any communication with on this board, but I suppose its good to be number 1. Its good to know that your omniscient and know all things, since those things you have proposed here are definitely not in scripture. Every born again...

Actually the gospel is found in the old testament in more than one form beginning with the proto evangel in Genesis chapter 3 and most clearly in Isaiah chapter 53. Nothing in scripture states that the anti-Christ is the antithesis of our Lord, and I'd be thrilled if you could in some way prove...
