    The Last Trumpet is not the seventh Trumpet

    Shalom, sam. I had a thought while reading your query: You're asking the wrong question. The SERVANTS OF GOD, having been resurrected, will not be in MORTAL bodies, but that doesn't mean that they won't be in PHYSICAL bodies. They WILL be in physical bodies after Christ's appearing on the...

    What Should A Person Do If They Miss The Rapture ?

    Shalom, Saint Bob. Well, to put it plainly, I could still read Matthew 13 and believe in a pre-trib rapture when I was a pre-trib rapturist. I simply believed (and still do) that Matthew 13 has to do with the END of the Millennium and not the beginning of it. The phrases that I believe are...

    Retrobyter Cannot Prove Partial Preterism Is Correct.

    Shalom, teleiosis, my brother. Well, that's not quite what I did. I used Roget's International Thesaurus and looked up "ratify" as in "to STRENGTHEN a document such as an agreement or a covenant." I found two different paths that could be synonyms: 504.12 and 520.12. The first, 504.12, falls...

    Retrobyter Cannot Prove Partial Preterism Is Correct.

    Shalom, teleiosis. ROFL! Getting a little specific in our topics, aren't we? Aren't you forgetting something? Remember Yeshua`s words to Pilate? John 18:33-37 33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? 34 Jesus...

    I'm worried

    Shalom, Watchwithme. Sounds like neo-Nazi propaganda! Have you heard how aligned the Mufti (the Arab leader in Jerusalem in the 1940s) was with Hitler's regime? The "third Reich" was ALWAYS trying to undermine the Zionist attempt to create a modern state of Isra'el. There were all sorts of spy...

    I'm worried

    Shalom, Bob. Whereas that may be true, how will you know who is who? It's just like any "witnessing": We must assume that they are the "reachable," and let them prove us wrong. Even the worst "Hell's Angels biker type" who might be considered a "sinner among sinners" can be a POTENTIAL CHILD...

    The false Messiah

    Shalom, shilohsfoal. That's why we should have been stronger in who we selected as a Republican candidate OR we should have been stronger in supporting the Tea Party. All things considered, however, it is my opinion that he is the lesser of the two evils. (I'm assuming, of course, that you are...

    Pre-Wrath Eschatology - a Sequence of Events Analysis

    Shalom, teleiosis. Well, at least you can see that it doesn't make sense mathematically. It also doesn't make sense logically, and if we were to write this into a program, it wouldn't make sense for digital logic, either. It would become an endless loop that would cause the program to freeze...

    Pre-Wrath Eschatology - a Sequence of Events Analysis

    Shalom, teleiosis. It does if you're trying to prove something, and you have been doing just that. It's wrong to say "if x, then y" and then in the next breath say "if y, then x." One grammar book does not an expert make! You need better proof than that! Give the name of the book, the page...

    Pre-Wrath Eschatology - a Sequence of Events Analysis

    Shalom, teleiosis, again. Well, they haven't cleaned it up enough. "Temple" is STILL not in there! No matter what slant you put on it, the NIV is wrong. The Hebrew of the phrase is... ...v`al knaf shiqquwtsiym mshomeem... and a literal translation is... ...and-upon a-wing of-abominations...

    Pre-Wrath Eschatology - a Sequence of Events Analysis

    Shalom, teleiosis. I challenge the version you chose to use. The word "temple" is NOT in the Hebrew there at all.

    Pre-Wrath Eschatology - a Sequence of Events Analysis

    Shalom, veteran. You've been "following God's Word" like a drunk walks the white chalk line in a sobriety test! When you PURPOSELY look for some new doctrine to tickle your ears and give you some EXCUSE for abusing Scripture, particularly using a passage of Scripture misapplied to the wrong...

    Who is Israel?

    Shalom, Bob. LOL! I have a NEW RESPECT for you, my brother! That was truly awesome! Where did you get your information regarding the Hebrew of Gen. 48:19? Did you find it yourself, or did you glean it from someone else? Your statement above, namely, <<This is a poor translation of the Hebrew...

    Pre-Wrath Eschatology - a Sequence of Events Analysis

    Shalom, veteran. While I understand Shlomo said, "there is no new thing under the sun," I also remember that Rav Sha'uwl Paulos (Paul) said to Timotheos,... 2 Tim 4:1-4 4 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and...

    Pre-Wrath Eschatology - a Sequence of Events Analysis

    Shalom, teleiosis. Well, duh! The verses are back to back; they are both in the second-person plural, and they are talking about the same kind of distress! If they are NOT addressed to the same personS, then the author should have been more specific! I'll give you that it's an "assumption,"...

    What does the purported Higgs Bosun discovery mean to Christians?

    Shalom, Jon-Marc. Sure, bro'. The "God particle" or the "Higgs boson" is simply another particle of matter that they have CALCULATED to exist, and they are trying to find the actual proof that such a particle truly exists. Peter Higgs THINKS he's seen evidence, but they are still trying to...

    Pre-Wrath Eschatology - a Sequence of Events Analysis

    Shalom, teleiosis. Let me start by saying that whatever handle you go by, whatever your true name is, I love you just the same, brother! I'm proud of the way you handle the Scriptures, and I love your analytical mind! Now, I've done a little editing/highlighting of the Luke passage you...

    Pre-Wrath Eschatology - a Sequence of Events Analysis

    I'm just going to touch on this much for now. "YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT, TOO!" Ever hear that phrase? It was made before photography was invented. You can't have your beautifully decorated cake to admire and eat it as well! You have to make a choice. Either you have to keep the...

    What does the purported Higgs Bosun discovery mean to Christians?

    Shalom, Mungo. Here's what I found about the nickname at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_boson: The appropriate name currently is the "Higgs boson," but they're having a contest to rename it in honor of Peter Higgs' 80th birthday.

    What does the purported Higgs Bosun discovery mean to Christians?

    Shalom, mcorba. The discovery of the Higgs Bosum particle has no direct consequence as to how the Scriptures should be interpreted. It's just one more discovery that MAY help us to understand the universe God created a little better. It may even be the LINK to understanding how gravitation...
