The Commandment to Remember the Sabbath day is no more outmoded than the Commandment to not murder or steal or commit adultery, except in peoples minds. Justifying murder, theft or adultery has ever been the M.O. of men. Altering the meaning of the Sabbath Commandment so that it falls in line...

I am persuaded that whenever men attempt a search for truth, the disruptive influence of the evil supernatural is present....be it a distraction or a lulling to sleep.

The writings of Revelation are far more than a time line. They are as the outset of the book says, a revelation (a revealing) of Jesus Christ. Rev.1:1 (herein is The Key) .....now that you know what/ who it is, do you know how to use it.....how it applies?

I think Jesus' explanations in using past events is to illustrate the unexpectedness of what will unfold for those who do not take his return seriously or are flippant about the instructions to 'stay awake' One of the dangers in interpretation is to make what is intended as a generality, walk...

The issue in the present and coming global deception in my view has to do with the Character of God. Let me explain. It was the maligning of God's Character by Lucifer that enabled him to draw many many angles to his point of view. This exercise by Lucifer was of a nature so persuasive it...

I would agree with this.

There is a key to understanding well. If there wasn't then views are just speculation. The question is, what is it the key and how is it used? In my view, the various assumptions that are the basis for interpretation in pop theology are woefully inadequate.

and separating what people claim and an imagination based on science fiction from the real deal is the desired domain.

A deception mimics the real thing to a point where one cannot tell the difference. My question is, what is the determining factor that enables one to identify the real from the false?

If a gift becomes an exchange is is not a gift, it is a trade. Presenting God's gift as a trade (exchange) does violence to God's generosity and becomes a gross misrepresentation. One is not compelled to treasure a gift, one can in fact do with it as one pleases, discard it, ignore it...

I think it is saying the same thing in a different way. I have also thought it is a pointer as a sign is, in the sense that Jesus arrival will be seen as coming from a distance and getting progressively closer and brighter till the whole sky is filled with billions of angelic beings escorting...

I'm sorry Jack, you miss the point

Who makes a man mute? the mutation of course!

do you love your enemies by burning them?

You do the reconciliation between the texts.....then talk to me
