Among the Biblical teachings of the Protestant Reformers was their understanding that the 70 Weeks were fulfilled as one continuous, unbroken span of time, what I refer to as a "Numerically Specific Time Prophecy" which plainly tells us it will numerically last a literal 490 years, so I'm glad...

The Bible tells us what "water" represents..."peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues". Therefore, a beast rising from the sea is a nation arising among a densely populated area, as did Babylone, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome. So, what then about a kingdom arising "from the Earth" which is...

He's the one who tried to buy the Holy Spirit from Peter and was told "thy money perish with thee".

Peter was a sincere follower of Jesus...and Jesus knew it. Was He saying Peter was actually "Satan"? Of course not - He was saying that at that moment Peter was allowing the spirit of Satan to distort his thinking - which is a lesson to all of us when it comes to guarding our faith.

So, you're a Futurist - one who believes the Antichrist will arise at the end of time, during the last 7 years (or 3 1/2 years) or tribulation?

Please don't misunderstand...I'm not saying the Apostle Peter is evil...there was a totally different "Peter" named "Simon Magus the Magician" to which I'm referring...it is him that a certain organization exalts as the one from who they succeed, according to the true evidence buried under layer...

Peter was a great man of God, for sure...but some invest in Peter things which the Bible does not. I think the "Peter" that is exalted by certain religious groups is actually Simon Magus the Magician, but that's another story.

"And Jesus said unto Peter..." - not to Himself, not to the wind, and not to Satan either...but to Peter - who was unknowingly doing the work of Satan by refusing to accept Jesus' plain words and instead clinging to his own flawed ideas.

You obviously are completely ignorant of what the ENTIRE CHRISTIAN REFORMATION CHURCH BELIEVED AND TAUGHT FOR OVER 300 YEARS. Doesn't that alone warrant investigation? Do you think the beliefs of millions of Christians worldwide who often left their testimony written in their own blood ought to...

Why do some "churches" omit the word "Satan" in Jesus' reference to Peter when there is absolutely no basis for doing so? While it's true that Peter was a man of God for sure, that was not always the case. Before he boldly declared to the unbelieving Jewish leaders, "We ought to obey God rather...

Hang on a sec: John said he saw a Beast come up out of the Sea and the description of it draws our attention to Daniel 7 - any Jew convert that received John's letter would immediately turn to the book of Daniel first, not Isaiah or any other book. The Beast of Rev 13, a compound beast of the...

I'm sorry to hear about your son, dear one. The Comforter "knoweth how to deliver the Godly" - all we need do is cling to Him, although sometimes it seems easier said than done. That's why we need to pray for one another ;)

May our Lord bless he and the family with peace and good news from the docs!

Amen! The only sin God can't forgive - the Unpardonable Sin - is "blasphemy against the Holy Spirit" .... but what is it? It's resisting and resisting the Holy Spirit's pleadings, His reasonings, His convicting power which shows us our sins and our need to repent until we are past the point of...

Great job, admins! Love the makeover!

No, I'm pointing out how you make it up as you go. 1) You claimed that parables are always declared to be such before they're presented to "prove" the Rich Man and Lazarus is a literal story since Jesus didn't identify it as a parable before speaking it... 2) I showed you Jotham makes no such...

Not everything He said was parabolic - but when speaking to hard hearted Jews, parables were the only thing that He could use to get through to them, as He Himself testified. What are the parables of Jesus? Well, one of them is the Rich Man and Lazarus. Bro...ALL I DO is tell people the...

Me? You have, too. Turn on any evangelical broadcast and you'll here one brand or another of OSAS accompanied by various ideas of what constitutes "salvation" which include God voluntarily refusing to regard a saint's presumptuous sin as such, that He does regard it as such but forbears...

I do not allow all of Revelation to be literal. We who have Holy Spirit discernment know that in Revelation, the "beast", the "dragon", the "false prophet", "sharp swords", etc., are symbols of things which must be interpreted, but that there will be a literal fire into which they are cast...

"Commit" and "Practice" refer to two different types of behavior: a spouse may commit murder once to get rid of an abusive husband or unfaithful wife, but a serial killer "practices" habitual murder. In my long Christian experience, I've seen only two interpretations of 1 John 3:9 KJV: 1)...
