    Will you be caught up in the rapture or left-behind??

    Titus was there in 66. when the Jews defeated the first encirclement of Jerusalem and Vespasian left to be crowned cesar- that is when the believers left. It was not the Jews who refused to let fellow Jews leave Jerusalem. The Romans allowed all pilgrims to enter for the Passover, but they...

    Baptized Into Christ, Rightly Divided Summary...

    Just wish to address one issue. YOu wrote the spiritual context. Well that is an application, but not the interpretation. All the apostles baptized believers with water. Paul also and so didn't Phillip with the Ethiopian Eunuch. Jesus commanded the Apostles to make disciples, baptizing them in...

    What Makes Ex-Christians Think They Once Were Christians?

    Well I do not care about how humans create terms for things that we seem illogical. The bible never says that once becomes a child of God and given eternal life- they can lose it! It does teach that many who look like christians are not and many who look like Christians leave but were never...

    Tongues ( 'sign' gifts ) did/did not cease?

    I do not think that is an equal comparison. Teh Parables were spoken to hide th etruth from the masses, while tongues was for the spreading of the gospel to other languages, or in a "prayer tongue", to edify the individual believer so that they may edify the church. you answered this yourself...

    Meaning of This Generation Will Not Pass Away Until All These Things Take Place

    Actually the word for generation is genea which means a specific group of people. As Matt. 24 is part and parcel of god preparing Israel as a antion to receive Jesus as Messiah, it is a direct reference to the fact that Israel will not cease to exist.

    What Makes Ex-Christians Think They Once Were Christians?

    That is not referring to losing your salvation at all. there is no such thing as an "ex-Christian". Once someone is saved, they are rendered dead and their life is hid in christ. People who may have professed and fall away fall under three categories: 1. They are saved but backslidden. 2...

    Baptized Into Christ, Rightly Divided Summary...

    The Baptism by which we are engrafted into teh body of Christ is the Spirit Baptism that occurs at the moment of salvation. Water Baptism is a public declaration of that fact that we do after we become a believer in obedience,

    Tongues ( 'sign' gifts ) did/did not cease?

    I have not seen all the replies so far, but will offer my 2 cents. I do not believe the "charismatic gifts" have ceased at all. I do believe that tongues is the most misunderstood and abused gift on the church today.

    Will you be caught up in the rapture or left-behind??

    Do you want me to post from about a dozen sources both encyclopedias and biblical history records? Titus was there, left with His Father Vespasian so Vespasian could be crowned Cesar, and He returned to finish the job of destroying Jerusalem. Why you have an argument with that is beyond me...

    Bible Problem

    You said the other translations changed the meaning of the passage. I just wish to know how you think thye changed it. But here are several translations. Tell me if there is a change of meaning. New International Version Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God...

    Is the Sabbath a 'test of loyalty'?

    Well if we accept how Scripture was written and historic, then yes Moses received all 613 commands while on sinai! https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/4755814/jewish/Why-Only-Ten-Commandments-at-Sinai.htm#:~:text=At%20Mount%20Sinai%2C% Jews accept it and all Christians I know accept...

    Bible Problem

    Tell me, what do you believe is the change of thought. You said it is a change, I am trying to find out what you think was changed. What seems and what is in this case are two very different realities. Both passages acknowledge the deity of Jesus, and both the KJV and the other translations...

    Bible Problem

    King James Bible Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: Robbery: Harpagmos: the act of seizing, robbery a thing seized or to be seized booty to deem anything a prize a thing to be seized upon or to be held fast, retained Please show me how any of the...

    Will you be caught up in the rapture or left-behind??

    Still fact whether it was short or not! And let me ask you a question. You are here trying to teach people things. why should I accept you as a teacher ,which you seem to roundly condemn all them "church teachers", as opposed to those who I know have proved themselves faithful to god. what...

    Oklahoma Judge throws out lawsuit for reparations over 1921 Tulsa race massacre

    Of course. Like you said, it is a job for myriads. Keeping people believing they are victimes. They are, but to sin and not to modern slavery. Discrimination comes in all colors.

    Bible Problem

    This sentence is why I have a hard time taking you seriously. I checked 38 English translations and only 4 used this language. Your penchant for over exaggeration does you poorly. and while this is a dynamic translation and not a literal translation, if you spend a few minutes thinking on it...
