I'll agree with you here, since all those who have received His Spirit, the Spirit of Christ, have the Spirit of prophecy, who is also called the Holy Spirit. I'm not sure that I understand the distinction though with regard to the "office" of prophecy. I see the distinctions between tne roles...

Probably, but that's probably because creation as we experience it is dualistic. Good and evil are opposing qualities, as are light and dark, masculine and feminine, etc. People like the Chinese folks who came up with the "religion" of Taoism, did so on the basis of the observation of a fallen...

The Roman Catholic Church has held the doctrine that there is no salvation without the church, and has typically referred to the church as mother, but this would appear to be a self serving doctrine, strengthening the threat of excommunication. The biblical references are harder to nail down...

I know that this is somewhat self serving, because I believe that I was called to the office of prophet, but the prophet Amos wrote: Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. Amos 3:7 So are you suggesting that the Lord no longer works in the...

My two cents: The original post is absolutely correct and scripture supports it: Christ is called the lamb that was slain "from the foundation of the world." Jesus's sacrifice is not an afterthought. Lucifer's fall wasn't a surprise. In allowing choice, God allowed for the possibility of "evil,"...

I'm sorry then, please forgive me. I was under the impression that you were trying to teach people that there really would be a pre-tribulation rapture. Since the verses of Revelation 20:4-6 clearly identify the "tribulation saints" with those who live and reign with Christ for a thousand years...

Perfect love casts out fear, but I have a verse for you: 18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this...

I'm not frightened by what you post or the god you get your direction from. I serve the living God, always have, always will. If you knew Him, you would know that as well.

I believe that the reason we reject the notion of a pre-trib rapture is that we've thought alot, and taken a close look at what the scripture really says, rather than accept the cherry picking and worldly thinking of those men who concocted the fantasy of the "rapture" doctrine. The Lord can do...

9 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the...

Thanks for your opinion Lamad, but I'll stick with scripture and trust in God's word. 19 Your dead shall live; Together with my dead body[a] they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust; For your dew is like the dew of herbs, And the earth shall cast out the dead. 20 Come, my people...

iamlamad, on 11 Jul 2013 - 6:47 PM, said: It seems there is no end to the fabrication experts - the posttribbers! OF COURSE pretrib is explicitly taught! I would not believe it if it wasn't. It is quite clear from the context that Paul's apotasia is the depature of the one restaining or holding...

Hey Lamad, get over yourself. Those of us who believe that the church will be protected through the tribulation, with many also dieing in the process, have a faith built upon what the scripture actually says. A belief in a pre trib rapture requires a belief in a doctrine never explicity taught...

John S, I'm impressed with your assertions. It's good to be convinced in what you believe. Were you there 7000 years ago or 4 billion if you prefer to witness those things which you hold true? Can you give me the name of a witness to the grand event of the Universe's origin? Can you tell me how...

My software was from Meade and was included in the price of a cheap refractor scope, but is designed to control the tracking mechanism of the pricier models. The event is on a Sunday morning as well, so I don't need to take a day off to observe. Thanks for the confirmation.

I was playing with my Astronomy software and found what promises to make for an interesting sunrise on the Jersey shore on the morning of November 3rd of this year, approximately 7:25 AM. Can anybody on the forum give any confirmation?

The elders aren't assisting God.. The Lord created all things by the word of His mouth; He spoke them into being and He holds all things together by His will. He doesn't need anyone's help or assistance, but has given seats to His elders as an act of His grace, giving them greater responsibility...

Some interesting facts about China. During the times of the Imperial dynasties of China, the dragon was the symbol of imperial authority. The Chinese held to the notion that the dragon is the most powerful and wisest of creatures. It was unlawful in dynastic China to display an image of a dragon...

You sound a little bit like you may be ruled by fear, rather than by love. I don't mean to offend you, but as a man who believes what the scripture says (with regard to the first resurrection and the gathering together of the saints) I can think of one good reason that the church should be upon...

The only problem with your arguement is that though Jesus fulfilled the righteous requirements of the law, the law will not be fulfilled (prophetically or in it's purpose) until the return of Christ, the thousand year reign of Christ over the kingdoms of this world, the final rebellion, the...
