Stars and lampstands in Revelation are the first symbols Jesus Himself interprets for John on Patmos. They establish the entire interpretive framework for the book. In Revelation 1, the stars are the church’s messengers and the lampstands are the churches themselves. Christ holds the stars in...

You are joking. Who talks like this? I detect a fallacy of arbitration. Invoking an arbiter who has no jurisdiction over an issue cannot resolve it.

I've been skirting the strawman arguments. It is obvious from Creation that it is the work of a conscious mind, albeit one which is infinite and eternal and beyond human comprehension. The living, active Word of God is demonstrated both during the six days of Creation and throughout history into...

Grammatically, No! Poetically, Apparently! Rom 8:22 And we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now. However, as per my signature, "All that is knowable is always known by God," which means God foreknows everything He causes before He causes it to be. Job...

Coherency is only possible if sensory information is present. Creation Causality precedes sensory information, as does space location and time duration. Without Creation Causality, Space Location, and Time Duration there can be no Presence Revelation available to anyone as Sensory Information...

Which leads to questions on the origin of nature itself, which the Bible answers. Here are some brief discussion points appropriate for a prescribed Christian forum. The Bible presents the origin of nature as the direct, intentional creation of God, brought into existence by His word, sustained...

Freewill and predestination are not paradoxical to me, but elements of the same construct, as follows:

Creation Causality is a problem for Bertrand Russell, Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking and their ilk.

Some dreams don't seem to stay on topic

Can you elaborate, please.

There's a lot more to the Christian faith than your position. Complete assurance of salvation is a wonderful state of grace to be in. I hope you will be humble enough to receive it. Heb 4:16 Therefore let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in...

No I'm not. Look at your original post.

It is the very essence of humility to admit that Christ's sacrificial death is sufficient to save us from the following: 1. The Penalty of Sin Christ’s once‑for‑all sacrifice removes the penalty we deserved. His death fully atones for sin and secures eternal redemption. Verse: Romans 8:1...

I suggest you do more research on the subject of confirmation bias, as your comments err strongly towards it. As the name states, Strong's Concordance is a strong and reliable resource provided by God Himself through His gifting of its author.

Strong's Concordance has it thoroughly expanded for edification without bias. G1074 γενεά genea ghen-eh-ah' From (a presumed derivative of) G1085; a generation; by implication an age (the period or the persons): - age, generation, nation, time. Total KJV occurrences: 42 G1085 γένος genos...

Have you ever researched the original designating of followers of Christ as Christians? Act 11:25-26 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: (26) And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the...

“Generation” can also mean race or people. In this view, Jesus is assuring that Israel will not disappear before all prophecy is fulfilled.

No need for you to be rude, @MatthewG 1Th 5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Php 1:9-11 And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in...

This is the point: "This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven." The Book of Revelation calls itself prophecy, and its clearest future prophecies are the visible Second Coming (Rev 1:7; 14:14–20; 16:15; 19:11–21) and the...
