The pride of man is what makes people want to feel like they are in some degree of control over their own destiny, which is entirely natural of course, because we are in fact in control to a degree, but just like there are limits to growth in nature, so to are there limits to our own control...

The number seven being the number of completion or perfection most likely has more to do with the seven spirits of God, also symbolized by the seven eyes described on Jesus in Revelation. Yep, he may be with you through your trials, but he certainly won't hide you from them, or from the...

Finding loop holes in scripture seems to be standard practice to many on this website and the Christian community at large, non-believers included. They probably passed the BAR exam on picking apart words with a fine tooth pick.

I so do hope this makes sense as well. Please let it so Lord, because if not, then we have a serious problem. We already have enough people preaching a works based belief with their "reward" system, we don't need another one adding further insult to injury.

HA!!!! And the discussion should end here

I never said earth wasn't made in a step by step fashion. I in fact made that very clear that the six day creation is chronological in nature. I'm repeating exactly what the text says, that in the beginning, the sun, stars, moon and earth were present, but without form and void. Where did I say...

Earth is the focal point of the entire narrative from which its being told. Its not being told from the perspective of anything else. I don't see why there would have to be a foundation laid down for the observer to witness it all "in the beginning", when its clearly stated that the...

The first thing that needs to be understood is the nature of the way the six day creation was written or narrated. The Bible is more than your typical science book, it is eye witness testimony, and this is exactly how the creation event is written. It was written as if the author saw it occur...

Well thank the good Lord. I was beginning to worry that I was the only one that notices open blasphemy on a board run by people that claim to adhere to sound Biblical doctrine.

Need I point out the obvious Gnostic leanings in this guys posts?

LOL, According to the OP, the "last days" started 2,000 years ago. If he's right, then yes, revelation 20 already happened. Isn't that about something hey? A shining example of what I said before. This is the kind of silliness we get with false interpretations of scripture, and its usually the...

How about you lay out on the table for all of us of what exactly happened in 70A.D that makes you believe it has anything to do with the Great Tribulation. I'm not dodging anything, I've already pointed out everything that points to the contrary based on what you actually stated. The king...

In context, we are talking about the covenant God made with Abraham and his seed, which indeed is meant to be forever. If we are to compare scripture with scripture, let it actually make sense. Does it say that the 1,000 year reign of Christ before the great white throne of judgement is meant to...

When it comes to numbers in the Bible in general, its not always a black and white issue. When the Bible says that 1,000 years to the Lord is like one day, it can be taken literally to mean exactly that. He could have said 10,000 days for all I care, the point being made is that time means...

1st question: I'm assuming you are referring to Revelation 9 concerning the locust horde unleashed from the pit. I share the same sentiment with you concerning this interpretation of scripture. How anyone can possibly see helicopters or any other man made vehicle out of that text is beyond my...

If there is no darkness or evil in him, then that means he cannot be the author of evil as you claim. Iniquity didn't start with God and neither did it start with man, but with Satan. If Satan never existed, the fall never would have happened to begin with and we would still be living on a...

Well, I can tell you that my job isn't exactly stress free, so...not exactly.

Joel Olsteen is the last person that should be used as an example of someone living a seemingly worry free life. Your post was good until you put his ilk into the picture. His net worth is about 40 million bucks. One guy once said on ESPN that money will not give you a peace of mind but its easy...

NO, meeting someone in cyber space or through a phone will never be like meeting in person, because as the saying goes, there ain't nothing like the real thing. People seem to think that technology has brought us together like never before, but that's not entirely true. We've never been so alone...

The one condition of being saved: Your only requirement comes with confession, whatever works you performed before this day will mean nothing on the day of the lord. Your works will not save you. If you haven't confessed that Jesus is Lord who created the heavens and the earth, who reconciled...
