What "adding" is actually, not just okay, but necessary and meant to be? Consider the warning of Revelation 22:18-19: 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...

Most look to the written word of God as being literary (language-based), and that it is. But more importantly--it's not--but is spirit. John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. As "language"--the words...

Nothing is coincidence. The recent issue of self-identity and the use if not demand for proper pronouns, i.e, we, they, etc. has not been a thing of people and their various identity issues--not only--but more importantly it has been a thing of God and by God. It begins with us. These issues...

He (Jesus) Himself gave some to be [false] apostles, some [false] prophets, some [evil] evangelists, and some [phony] pastors and [false] teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith...

“Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven." These are the times for which Jesus gave the above warning--because He was then going to the Father and would send the Holy Spirit. And what...

"Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them.” Isaiah 42:9 "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and...

“Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it...

When I came to know the Lord change was easy. How could I not? But coming to know God and salvation, is not what this thread is about. Briefly for introduction: I did not know there was a God, but felt the weight of the world--as we all do in our own way. For me, it was as if I was set up, I...

Parables in the scriptures are not the same as parables elsewhere. Parables elsewhere may have multiple meanings too--even a hidden meaning, or not. But in the scriptures parables have their own structure not at all common elsewhere. In no other literature are there parables that include a...

What is your witness of Jesus Christ? What would you say before God? SPECIFICALLY: How will you reconcile the following passages (terms) if only doing so before the throne of God in the end? John 16:16 “A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me...

I have been leading up to and speaking of this here for some time now (Just ask @amadeus how long sml). There is a reason, and I have not kept it a secret. But "time no longer" (Revelation 10:6) is a sign, a sign stated there in the Book of Revelation of "the seventh angel, when he is about to...

No, the scriptures are not the final say on everything. That is not biblical. Everything in the scriptures is indeed the word and authority of God. However, within their contents it is written that a final word would yet come only after "He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of...

It's house cleaning. Sad to see the "That’s right — you’ve been brainwashed into defending the wrong Israel" thread get locked. And no--I do not want to continue the argument. ON THE CONTRARY, I MEAN TO POINT OUT THAT THERE IS A VERY REAL ISSUE OF DEEPSTATE INVOLVEMENT not only in government...

It is the strangest thing! After two thousand years and the establishing of the Christian Bible (to say nothing of Judaism or other beliefs), everyone seems to be set in their ways. I mean like a petrified forest--pillars of stone! Before that, before this Christian age, there were all kinds of...

Most are familiar with the idea of "pre"-destination. Which is of course our natural way of perceiving everything--if we believe that things were first ordained by God. Which perspective we naturally adopt from experiencing life as one day follows the next, and so on. That is where the biblical...

This is that day between the crucifixion and the resurrection of Christ; that day of which Christ said, "Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected" (Luke 13:32). This is that day. In the day that Christ gave the above three day word...

In a word--yes! God confused "all language" a the Tower of Babel, even "all" of scripture. Meaning, that even the scriptures are not the end-all source of truth. Which is why we debate and interpret it all in so many ways. Please allow me to explain: One word under confusion does not explain...

ALMOST EVERY THREAD ON THE FORUM has people claiming things to be biblical fact, based merely on their own speculation and conjecture. If you only "think" or "believe" something--you should STOP presenting information as if you actually "know" what is true. DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE HELD...

I offer that as a rhetorical question, but one worthy of consideration. Seriously--just ask the Priests and Pharisees of Jesus's time when you see them. Some may only be able to wave from across the everlasting gulf, if at all. But surely there are a few present in heaven...like Nicodemus for...

After 2,000 years of Christian teaching and belief--so much is still not understood. And yet many, if not all, seem unwilling to hear the end of the matter, as if everything everyone believed or now believes is correct, and willing to fight unto the death. I started a thread (DOES NO ONE WANT...
