    SoWhendidThisHappen??

    Shalom, Hitch. And, herein lies one of your problems: What do you think will happen when Yeshua the Messiah comes back? "When Christ returns there can be no more death?" What makes you think THAT?! Revelation 19:11-21 11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon...

    MillennialMathamatics

    Shalom, Hitch. His Kingdom hasn't even STARTED, yet!!! His Kingdom won't start until He, the King Apparent, returns and establishes that Kingdom! Look, I know that many believers think themselves His subjects, and that's a good thing; however, we can be WILLING to be His subjects and act...

    Apostasy and the lie of the tithe

    Shalom, Seasoned Warrior. Wow. I'm GLAD Avraham paid tithes to Malkhiy-Tsedeq, and I hope you don't take that attitude toward Avraham when Paul talked about him in Romans chapter 4! Romans 4:1-3 1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 2 For if...

    What No Futurist Believes

    Shabbat shalom, Trekson. You might be using matzot or matzos (the plural of matzah). They look like big, unsalted crackers and don't have much taste, either, but they ARE the "unleavened bread" that the Jews serve at the Passover season for their Seders (the Passover meals). They are made out...

    MillennialMathamatics

    Shabbat shalom, Hitch. You assume so much. Ever read these accounts? Matthew 16:28-17:13 28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his...

    Apostasy and the lie of the tithe

    Shabbat shalom, Seasoned Warrior. That's cool. We're in agreement, then. Sure. We are supposed to take care of the widows and orphans, and Yeshua` said, "The poor you have with you always," and that presents for us a great OPPORTUNITY to care for the poor, as well! If a person is truly...

    What No Futurist Believes

    Shabbat shalom, Trekson. Just curious. Do you really serve pumpernickel bread in your Communion service or Lord's Supper? Just asking. To the rest, Shabbat shalom, a Sabbath of peace. Is it just me or is it too hot in here?

    And then?

    Shabbat shalom, Hitch. You've assumed an awful lot to say these are all referring to "the church." Actually, B'rit haChadashah (the NT) is not that far removed from the Tanakh (the OT). Have you ever taken the time to see how many quotations from the Tanakh are used in B'rit haChadashah...

    SoWhendidThisHappen??

    Shabbat shalom, shilohsfoal. You really don't know what you're talking about. Yeshua` is not about to let His family get annihilated by a nuclear explosion. With all the nuclear fallout that your little clip fails to show, what good would the Kingdom be to anyone?! However, Isra'el, Yeshua`s...

    Seven Years of Tribulation,

    Shalom, Trekson. No, that's not it. History does NOT repeat itself in the sense that it fulfills a prophecy more than once! As I've said before in other threads, that belief just adds to confusion about the prophecy. God's prophecies must have ONE, conclusive fulfillment or they are...

    Seven Years of Tribulation,

    Shalom, all. Please, guys, STOP USING A FULFILLED PROPHECY AS THOUGH IT WAS UNFULFILLED! Dani'el 11 is OUT OF BOUNDS! It was fulfilled from the time that the last four Persian kings reigned, through Alexander the Great, through the Ptolemaic and Seleucian Empires, through Antiochus IV Epiphanes...

    What No Futurist Believes

    Shalom, Hitch. Nah. Latin: "Mille" + "annum" = "a thousand" + "years." Greek: "Chilia" + "etee" = "a thousand" + "years." Pretty basic. Shalom, Hitch. It's not necessary to make this a difficult-to-understand thing. The word translated as "hour" can also be translated as "time" for our...

    What No Futurist Believes

    Shalom, again, Hitch. We HAVE more resurrections! There are two large-scale resurrections: the Resurrection of the Just, and the Resurrection of the Unjust. Furthermore, I wouldn't put it past the Savior to have MULTIPLE RESURRECTIONS during the first 1000 years of His reign! After all, HE...

    What No Futurist Believes

    Shalom, Hitch. I don't have a problem with taking this passage or any such passage literally because I understand that the Resurrection of the Justified occurs at the BEGINNING of the 1000-year day, while the general Resurrection, which includes the Resurrection of the Unjust and their...

    Seven Years of Tribulation,

    Shalom, all. I keep trying to tell you all that the tribulation has been going on for close to 2,000 years, now! It's not a mere 7 years. That's the 70th seven of Dani'el 9:24-27 which is seven years long, not the "tribulation!" The "tribulation" as Yeshua` described it in Matthew 24, Mark 13...

    The Gospel of the Kingdom

    Shalom, friends. You all don't seem to understand the Gospel about the Kingdom, that Yochanan the Immerser (John the Baptizer) and Yeshua` (Jesus) heralded since the early days of their ministries. That good news about the Kingdom was first heralded by Yesha`yahu (Isaiah) in Isaiah 52:7...

    Apostasy and the lie of the tithe

    Shalom, Seasoned Warrior. While there are those who abuse the system, IF one is going to attend regularly a congregation that meets in a building with a lawn and creature comforts within that building, then there's no reason why that one shouldn't contribute their fair share to the support of...

    The Problem with Dispensationalism

    Shabbat shalom, Trekson. I can't let this go unchallenged. You aren't even aware of the damage such teaching has caused down through the years, and this is not a new teaching but a VERY old one. It's what the Roman church used in the 2nd and 3rd centuries to BURY the Jewishness of the believers...

    The Great Tribulation

    Shabbat shalom, Trekson. There are MANY things I find wrong in the above post; however, I'll only ask one question at this point: What makes you think that the "Tribulation" = the "Seventieth Seven (not 'Week')" of Dani'el 9:24-27? I believe that as in building a huge castle, you guys are...

    The Role of the Anti-Christ

    Shabbat shalom, shilohsfoal. That was fulfilled in Herod the Great, bro.
