    Amillenialism, True or False?

    Shabbat shalom, HeRoseFromTheDead. IMO, your "deeper realities" are a QUAGMIRE of superspiritual nonsense! You are basing your theological interpretations and opinions upon the human, English translations of God's Word instead of just looking at God's Word directly! Neither 1 Peter 3:21-22...

    The Rapture is True and Pre Trib

    Shabbat shalom, veteran. Look, bro', all I'm saying is attack the message, not the messenger, ESPECIALLY if that messenger is a born-again believer, because when one attacks a child of God, one is attacking the Father also - a VERY dangerous blunder! That's a good way to get a whippin'!

    Amillenialism, True or False?

    Shalom, HeRoseFromTheDead. That's a very naive point of view. IF Yeshua` is reigning "right here right now," then He is either reigning so quietly and surreptitiously that even the devil doesn't know about it or He is the most incompetent, ineffective King EVER in human history! Since I...

    The Rapture is True and Pre Trib

    Shalom, veteran. I don't deny that there are many people who have been led away from the original truth of Scripture, but do not be so ready to judge them because of how they were taught to believe! If you want to take 2 Cor. 11 to its logical end, almost all Christians today believe in...

    Amillenialism, True or False?

    Shalom, 7angels. I'm sorry, but that's just silly. The Kingdom of the heaven (singular, btw) is not the same as the Kingdom of God?! That's not true. In many of the parallel passages between the synoptic Gospels, Matthew will use the phrase "Kingdom of heaven" while Mark or Luke will use the...

    Understanding without revelation

    Shalom, shilohsfoal. Veteran is right, though. Compare the sizes of the cities, Yahuwh-shameh vs. Yerushalayim haChadashah: Ezekiel 48:8-22 8 "Bordering the territory of Judah from east to west will be the portion you are to present as a special gift. It will be 25,000 cubits wide, and its...

    My studies -Daniel 11

    Shalom, shilohsfoal. Matt 12:34-37 34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth...

    My studies -Daniel 11

    Shalom, Ridgerunner. Absolutely I believe it IF the "man-made Temple" is made by the Son of Man; it WILL exist forever and on the New Earth, to boot! God may not "dwell in temples made with hands," but that doesn't mean that He doesn't want a Temple to exist! And, no, it does no damage to...

    What Should A Person Do If They Miss The Rapture ?

    Shabbat shalom, HeRoseFromTheDead. And that is the extent of what you have learned about the Scriptures?! It’s not nonsense nor is it a departure from reality. It’s simply learning from the languages in which the Scriptures were written for us. If you pick up a book, any book, and begin to...

    My studies -Daniel 11

    Shalom, Ridgerunner. That SOUNDS good, except for "dangling details." First, we have Scripture about a future Temple that has NEVER been fulfilled that must be fulfilled. Read Ezekiel chapters 40 through 48 and see just how thoroughly the predictions are laid out for a future Temple. This...

    What Should A Person Do If They Miss The Rapture ?

    Shalom, HeRoseFromTheDead. Actually, it does. The real problem is in your definition of the word "heaven." The word in Greek is "ouranos" and it simply means the "sky." So, read it again with the right meaning to this word: Acts 1:9-12 9 And when he had spoken these things, while they...

    The Rapture is True and Pre Trib

    Shabbat Shalom, veteran. I'm with Lively Stone on these last points, and with teamventure, as well. It IS ridiculous to accuse other believers - brothers and sisters in the Messiah - of "receiving another spirit" or "another Jesus" or "another Gospel." Can't we just come to the realization that...

    What Should A Person Do If They Miss The Rapture ?

    Shalom, HeRoseFromTheDead. But, as can be seen in post #75, you don't always read "long listings of non-formatted scriptures" otherwise! (And, to what are you referring when you say "non-formatted?") That makes my posts difficult to support! Scriptures are not just verses or chapters; they are...

    My studies -Daniel 11

    Shalom, Ridgerunner. A relatively simple misunderstanding can sometimes be missed by the person who misunderstands as well as those who are trying to argue a different point. You have just such a misunderstanding when you said, "Christ declared the building desolate." That's NOT what He...

    Healed fatal wound= healed economy?

    Shalom, shilohsfoal. It wouldn't hurt for you to get a good dose of Jesus' words, too! Matthew 10:5-8 5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the...

    What Should A Person Do If They Miss The Rapture ?

    Shalom, Lively Stone. Well, that's PURELY theological opinion. Book, chapter and verse, please.

    The beast once was and now is.

    Shalom, shilohsfoal. Here ya' go: http://www.theukinfo.com/government-and-politics.htm. What's that on Queen Elizabeth's head? That's not icing on a cake, is it? And, that's just one of MANY crowns that belong to the king or queen of the British Empire. There are 44 kingdoms in the world...

    Armegeddon

    Shalom, Shilohsfoal. He's not "reigning over it today!" The Kingdom is not here, yet! Without the physical presence of the King, there is no physical presence of the Kingdom.

    What Should A Person Do If They Miss The Rapture ?

    Shalom, Lively Stone. I fail to see how this passage bolsters your point. You'll find Dani'el is more appropriate. Anyway, I think you failed to see what I wrote before. I said, 'I believe that there are STAGES to the Second Coming! 1. Yeshua` and His messengers arrive within the atmosphere...

    My studies -Daniel 11

    Shalom, Shilohsfoal. Well, considering that His body is called the VEIL in the Temple (Heb. 10:20), that's a partial truth. What good is an analogy if you take away the basic truth upon which the analogy is built? The point Yeshua` was making was that HE was the presence of God, not just a...
