    The Rapture is a conviction that the Holy Spirit, has overcome sin, evil and oppression - that imparts the Word of God within to do something similar

    The body of Christ is not severed-divided at the rapture, just as it is not now broken into pieces. I am not speaking of doctrinal differences, I am speaking of how each member of the body is joined to the Lord as in one spirit with Him. God keeps the body whole. So all will experience the...

    I tried to rush the Rapture, and I felt sick (can you do anything apart from God?)

    This is not a fight over doctrine, the Lord is victorious, the victory belongs to the Lord. This is a pointing towards what the scripture says about these things in Truth. And the apostles were careful about doctrine, because there is a fierce enemy constantly agitating towards promoting another...

    Oil in our water? Anyone hear of that?

    We have owned that home since 1987 and never a problem with the water. My son inlaw and daughter like it, and they have 5 young kids who they hope can move into it someday! We'll see about that. It does have 6 bedrooms.

    Oil in our water? Anyone hear of that?

    Had a guy come to the house try to sell me a whole house water purification system. It was either $5000, or $15000, I said no thank you! We ushered him out the door. He claimed our water was full of chlorine, ok... He claimed our water had nasty bacteria and dirt in it, did some test dumping in...

    John 6:40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” 1 Thess 4 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord...

    I tried to rush the Rapture, and I felt sick (can you do anything apart from God?)

    "Do you think it fits with logic that Jesus turns right around and brings them all back to life again for judgment day just to kill them again after the white throne judgement?" All are resurrected, the wicked and the just on the Last Day. The people of God inherit the 'new' earth, the wicked...

    I tried to rush the Rapture, and I felt sick (can you do anything apart from God?)

    Even premills teach Christ will rule on an earthly throne of David for a 1000 years. So even in their POV, every eye will see Him coming, and reigning over the earth from Jerusalem. Yet you say none of the world will witness that. First time I heard a 1000 year proponent say such a thing. You...

    I tried to rush the Rapture, and I felt sick (can you do anything apart from God?)

    @Dave Watchman, you have been wrong about many things so far that I and others have seen. You should question your misplaced faith, as you do not obey the scriptures, you make up stories. Let it go and believe the scriptures, not your imaginations. Genesis 8:21 And the Lord smelled a soothing...

    I tried to rush the Rapture, and I felt sick (can you do anything apart from God?)

    That DAY, happens when Christ returns to gather His people from the earth, at His coming. When He appears to the world, every eye sees Him coming on the clouds of heaven. That is what Paul the apostle taught and Jesus too. All you have is your traditions. While I have the scripture...

    30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, 31 because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.” 32 And when...

    Oil in our water? Anyone hear of that?

    We have no visible issues with tap water. I saw a news report where a well owner has gallons of jet fuel sitting on top of her well water.

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    God created the light and the dark, how can you even say darkness existed before the creation? That is illogical and not scriptural. https://www.icr.org/content/creator-darkness “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace and create evil, I the LORD do all these things” (Isaiah 45:7)...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Then why did you write this, as you earlier said 'spiritual evil called darkness and death has always existed...' which means 'pre existed', you are confusing yourself, and are inconsistent.

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    You were not there to know, no one was except God. And suggesting that it was outside of God's creation, well, that's not scriptural or biblical or even logical.

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    https://www.answerthebible.com/what-does-creation-ex-nihilo-mean/ Creation ex nihilo refers to the theological doctrine that God created the universe out of nothing. The Latin phrase “ex nihilo” means “out of nothing”. This doctrine is foundational to much of Christian theology and affirms that...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    'demonic spirit who from the beginning is a liar and murderer.' The beginning mentioned is Jesus referring back the creation of man, Adam and Eve. And their being 'murdered' Satan was a liar and murderer from the beginning, and that started in Eden at the creation of man.

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    @rwb, arguing that God used the preexisting darkness to separate the light He created from the darkness which just is everywhere, not made by God.

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    This is comical really! We have not been given to know everything, as in step by step of all things God made. Very first verse 'In the beginning' includes whatever states exist, God created those conditions for that to come about. We have been given to know that God created everything, all...

    Key Biblical Passages Supporting Creation from Nothing Genesis 1:1 — “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” This opening verse implies that God initiated creation without pre-existing materials. Hebrews 11:3 — “By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s...
