    Why the great chain?

    If you believe that I referenced the wrong passage, please provide your proof and the correct passage that I should have referenced.

    THAT DAY AND HOUR NO ONE KNOWS.

    People usually reply with the verse quoted, and yes, we will not know the hour or day that Christ will return to judge the peoples of the earth, however, just from the Old Testament it is possible to determine the year in which the final judgement will occur with reasonable accuracy of one or...

    Man fights off Mountain Lion that attacked his dog in backyard

    Yes, and the advice given by snake catchers in Australia is that if you come across a snake near you, move away slowly otherwise stand perfectly still and let the snake move away. While a person is standing still the snake perceives that that person is not a threat to the snake. Most snake...

    Why the great chain?

    All that you have provided is you own personal opinion. When God built a garden what was the function of the tower in the middle of the garden? Here is that parable: - Matt 21:33-41: - The Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers...

    Why the great chain?

    Really William? Luke 14:28-33 might give you clarification if you are suggesting that at the return of Jesus Satan is imprisoned deep in the earth. This passage tells us that the Israelites will attempt to rebuild the temple, but this triggers a very negative response from the kings reigning...

    Why the great chain?

    Perhaps the clue can be found in Ezekiel 34:25-26: - 25 "I will make a covenant of peace with them and cause wild/evil beasts[1] to cease from the land/earth; and they will dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. 26 I will make them and the places all around My hill[2] a...

    Why people hate Christians. - for good reason

    perhaps we need to know this: - A Big word that matters: - Soteriology (/soʊˌtɪriˈɒlədʒi/; Ancient Greek: σωτηρία sōtēría "salvation" from σωτήρ sōtḗr "savior, preserver" and λόγος lógos "study" or "word") is the study of religious doctrines of salvation. Salvation theory occupies a place of...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Exodus 34:5-7: - 5 Now the Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there and proclaimed the name of the Lord. 6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, 7 keeping mercy for thousands...

    There are two types of people out there

    This may be true, but even "Christians" will act "god like" in their attempt to live a "safe life" in their opinions and understandings.

    The diagram does not show a year zero, but it does show a number line with a zero in the line. The diagram just shows simple number theory.

    Observations Timeline of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

    Yes, we do not know the exact day of His birth. My understanding is that Christ was born at the start of the third age of the existence of the Israelite people, i.e. at the start of the fifth age of mankind. I trust that the above diagram makes sense. Shalom

    Unreached People Groups

    Sorry, you are placing me in the wrong camp. I do not believe that the saints will be able to fulfil this directive until a further 1,040 or so years have past. In other words, Acts 1:18 has an end time conclusion and not a reached place criteria.

    After a person has their birthday, they enter into the next year of their life. Your logic below does not make any sense with regards to the counting of years.

    Unreached People Groups

    It seems that you have not understood my post. The criteria is time and the end of this time period is the final judgement of all of the peoples of the earth. If we use place, then many people today believe that we have fulfilled this verse already. If we use the end time of criteria then we...

    Unreached People Groups

    I would suggest that that we are to witness the Gospel to the end with respect to time of the earth. If we use the requirement of place, then we have already completed this task, but if the requirement is with respect to time where the end point in time is the final Judgement, then we still...

    1948 NOT a Complete Fulfillment of Prophecy

    I have probably suggested this verse before; however, many believe that it is not associated with the 1948 AD return of some of Abraham's descendants to the land of Canaan. The verse is Gen 15:16 which states: - English Standard Version And they shall come back here in the fourth generation...

    I'm such a newb...

    I usually start with, "Hello/Howdy Lord, I am starting to pray to You, and I need help as to how I should pray." Just treat your prayer like having a conversation with a good friend, which requires us to both speak and to listen during the conversation otherwise the conversation breaks down.

    Observations Timeline of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

    Yes, Christ had to have been born before "March 4BC" when Herod died while Jesus had been taken down towards Egypt. The question is how many days before Herod had all the babies in Bethlehem, under the age of 2 years old, killed, was Christ born. I would suggest that Christ was around 4 to 5...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    You are possibly right that Gal 3:7-9 has a bearing upon our understanding of Gen 12:3, however, what was the understanding some 2000 or so years before Gal 3:7-9 was written. When God spoke to Jacob on his way up to Haran to get a wife from his mother's family, God told Jacob that his...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    Just because the various translations for Gen 12:3 are all consistent does not guarantee that all are not faulty with respect to this verse. Years of language studies and transmission of data precisely. Most of the time I agree with you that the ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS are adequate for our...
