I had someone suggest the expanding earth theory to explain the dinosaurs. I don’t necessarily agree with it and I’m not trying to promote it either but it is interesting. The expanding earth theory is just the idea that basically the earth was smaller in the past and all the continents fit...

I replied to post #12 in my post #15. As for the other posts, here’s my rebuttal … In 2 Peter 2:5, Peter writes that the “world of the ungodly” was flooded. Here, Peter implies a distinction between the whole of planet Earth and that part of Earth inhabited by ungodly human beings. He does this...

Which verses are you talking about?

Right, and the fourth kingdom was Rome, which did rule over all the earth.

I would say it is relevant, Sodom and Gomorra were local and the flood was local. That’s important information when we look at 2 Peter 3. The whole entire planet didn’t perish when He came in 70AD

Kol eretz and ha eretz (translated as whole earth, the earth) have a much more localized and grounded meaning in Hebrew. Every time kol eretzis is used in Genesis, it is speaking of a limited area. Eretz itself is actually better translated as soil or ground. (see Robert Alter's translation of...

There is nothing to lead us to believe that humans had spread over the entire globe in the days of Noah, they were concentrated and localized. The story in Genesis regarding the tower of Babel seems to imply at the very least the human custom of staying closely together was both cultural and...

Have you looked at the Biblical case for a local flood instead of a global flood? Perhaps a local flood means a local 2 Peter 3:10-12 event which might work with your view of the millennium, I don’t know. There are some good arguments for a local flood. For example, kol eretz and ha eretz...

I have no idea why anyone would try to argue that but you did in post #177. Here’s what you said … “Believers would be overcome physically, not spiritually.” “The gates of hell overcome many believers physically. They are called martyrs.” You argued that the beast and the gates of hell...

No I’m not. I’m non-denominational. What was it I said that made you think I might be 7th Day Adventist?

Yes, and the paper being unfolded in Revelation vs fold in Daniel could also possibly be seen with Michael. In Daniel 12:1-2 Michael takes a stand, a time of great trouble, the people are delivered, and a resurrection with some getting life and others contempt. This all seems to take place as...

Great analogy. I thought about this and asked AI what happens when time is shortened in the spacetime continuum. When time is shortened in the spacetime continuum, it typically refers to the phenomenon of time dilation, where time appears to pass at different rates for observers in different...

Ok, so when we see the word “overcome” we can know that it doesn’t mean to get the victory in every sense, it means both, getting the victory in one sense while being defeated in another sense. Spiritually we get the victory but physically we are defeated. 1 Corinthians 6:9Know ye not that the...

I did read it and it clearly says the sun and moon are not obeying their ordinances in Isaiah 60:20. I think the reason you can’t help me is because you have to ignore that in order to maintain your view. I don’t think you are telling me the truth otherwise you could explain what’s going on...

Let’s break this down then and see where the problem is. Do you agree or disagree that the sun and moon do not obey their ordinances in NHNE? Do you agree or disagree that Jeremiah 31:36 says when the sun and moon do not obey their ordinances Israel is no longer a nation before God, forever...

In post #135 you said “That statement above suggests you don't understand your Bible history” I showed how Jeremiah 31:36 must be fulfilled when new heaven new earth are realized. Your response is now in large bold type and presumes to know how God will punish me for that. How about you just...

The ordinances of the sun, moon, and stars is given in Genesis 1:14. Genesis 1:14And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: In the new heaven new earth the Genesis 1:14...

Matthew 16:18 (NIV) And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. What about this verse, is it half true and half false? Should we say from an unbelievers point of view the gates of hell will overcome the Church but from...

Well, we know from Jeremiah 31:36 that at some point the seed of Israel will cease from being a nation before God for ever. That means any verses that have unconditional eternal promises in them can’t be referring to national Israel. Ezekiel 37:25-26 contain those kind of promises, which to me...

Or, the preterist are right and when someone comes along claiming he is the antichrist and wants to stamp people with 666, then sets up some medical clinics where a person can declare their faith, receive general anesthesia and get beheaded, people like you will actually consider that to be a...
