So, we really got to work hard at it to one day become saved, hopefully before we die. Let's all get up tomorrow and work our fingers to the bone. The sad part is we won't know we are saved unless we do the right works and a lot of them. You know who else believers this: the Muslims. It seems...

Ever wonder why God condemned mankind in Adam? Note this in Rom 11.32 For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.

Let me reiterate what I said earlier. Christianity is not based on religious faith. Religious faith has no place in Christianity. And why is that? Because Christianity must remain open to objective verification to all skeptics, and skeptics are not expected to have any kind of faith BEFORE they...

In fact, Mohammed (founder of Islam) and Joseph Smith (founder of Mormonism) did exactly that. Their religions are based on unverifiable claims. Neither of these guys could say, “Do not believe me unless I perform the works of God.” Why? They would have been immediately exposed as frauds...

Abandoned my faith Here's a real shocker, not that anyone should care, but after all these years, I have abandoned my faith in Christ. True, life has been unbearable for me over the last years. You might even say... unfair. There has not been one day over this time that I haven't prayed that...

Number 2, the Day of the Lord, bringing judgment is the task of Jesus Christ (not the Father or Spirit). All judgment has been given to the Son. Also, note that the Joel 2 reference uses LORD for Jesus Christ.

No, we are in agreement here. I misread your post

I don't see "hour" as some abstract concept here.

1 John 1-10 1:1 The word of life: is what we (those of apostolic rank) proclaim to you (fellow believers): that which was from the beginning (Christ and our apostolic testimony of his life), what we have heard (his words), what we have seen with our eyes (miracles), what we have gazed upon and...

Can't remember who wrote this, it is just in my notes The text of Rev 3:10 reads: o{ti ejthvrhsa" toVn lovgon th'" uJpomonh'" mou, kajgwv se thrhvsw ejk th'" w{ra" tou' peirasmou' th'" mellouvsh" e[rcesqai ejpiV th'" oijkoumevnh" o{lh" peiravsai touV" katoikou'nta" ejpiV th'" gh'" (“Because you...

Don't you just hate reading about the Bible!

Below is a dramatic account of a man named Polycarp, a friend of the Apostle John himself. On the fateful day described below (somewhere near the year 150 AD), Polycarp was asked to renounce Christ in exchange for his life. Unmoved by the threat of death, Polycarp, having received his...

=================================================================================== He should have never put it in there! The King James Version (KJV) was originally published, in 1611, by the royal printer, Robert Barker. In the margins of that very first edition, there were some 8,422...

Nobody believes that the great tribulation is 7 years long. It is only 3 and one half years. The book of Revelation gives the weeks in the first half of the tribulation as 3 and one half weeks. The Great tribulation is also 3 and one half weeks. The covenant between the Jews and Antichrist is...

I have blocked Spiritual Israel some time ago. So I don't know what he said. Sorry

What you need to do is to separate tribulation FROM THE Tribulation. This is the most common mistake bible students make. I have stated out here several times that I am a Dispensationalist, we never confuse Israel and the Church. These are two radically different groups and time periods. There...

The times and seasons refers to when the Day of the Lord comes. The believers in Thess knew already (you have no need that I should write to you) that it would come as a thief in the night. The DOL, used in both OT and NT, always refers to a temporal judgment, and here the DOL refers to the...

The 70th seven begins when the nation of Israel signs a 7-year covenant with the Antichrist. This 7 year Tribulation is divided into two equal segments. The first half (3 1/2 years) and the second half (3 1/2 years). Both halves are describes as Tribulation. The first half is actually called the...

Some brief information on the Rapture and the Tribulation from a dispensational perspective The Nature of the Tribulation. Depending on the context, the word tribulation (thlipsis) can have a variety of meanings. First, it can refer to “tribulation” or “trouble” generally (John 16:33; Acts...
