Well lets see, the Word of God attest to it, the facts of history as they've played out thus far attest to it, so yes I would have say we believe it. So which is it for you, you can't accept the Word of God on the matter or is it history that's giving you the problems? I would suggest you...

These three great epochs represent three distinct manifestations of divine providence. The first, from creation to the flood, was under the ministration of angels, and is called by Peter “the world that was.” 2 Pet. 3:6 The second great epoch, from the flood to the establishment of the kingdom...

As a new member of this forum I note that various discussions have been made on the subject of dispensationalism, some arguing for, others against that is to say whether or not it is a man-made doctrine or one actually taught in the scriptures. First of all it might help if we define what a...

Now as to your second post: You quote, Luke 1:15, “For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.” Note likewise that both Elizabeth John’s mother and Zacharias his father...

OK my friend so as to avoid in further confusion I will break down your first post and distinguish between what we agree with and what we don’t, understand this in no way implies any ill will toward you personally, so please don’t take it that way, I am simply attempting to present our position...

Sorry but we have to disagree with this synopsis (not all of it mind you), basically what you’re suggesting (perhaps not intentionally) is that a non-believer has to have the Holy Spirit before he can have faith enough to become a believer, we both know that’s not so. Likewise if as you say it...

“Despite what is commonly believed and taught by orthodoxy, immersion or baptism (Greek--dipping) in water, as practiced by John the Baptist and afterward by our Lord and his disciples, had a different significance at first among the disciples from what it came to have after the Spirit...

So what is a soul? Where did it come from, how did it originate? Let’s let the Lord answer this question. “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being (soul).” NKJV Gen 2:7 “The word ‘soul;’ as found in...

Upon examining some of the various threads on this forum with regards to the soul I have noticed that there seems to be a lot of speculation upon this subject, not all of which is based upon the scriptures. This subject is considered an important doctrine one which needs to be rightly understood...

I made no pretense of being wise (according to this world) as you suggest, that’s your perception not mine. The best we can do as individuals is to follow the Lord’s admonishment to “try the spirits”; “prove all things” that is proving them to see if they are in agreement with the word of the...

Apparently I did not word this as well as I should have, I did not mean to infer that Satan had control over our Lord in the sense in which he had dominion over him (that he ruled him), but in the sense in which he was given control of our Lord’s life through his deluded servants, to which our...

First of all I am not any more knowledgeable than the next man on this issue, but I am wise enough to take advantage of all the various “helps” (concordances, lexicons and other various bible study materials and etc.) the Lord has provided for his people in the study of his word. The Lord well...

Here we have a picture of the Table of Showbread, we're using this simply as an example to show what is being referred to as the "crown", as can be seen the crown is the ornamental molding which was placed around the table. The Table of Showbread was unique in that it had two of these crowns...

"It is unfortunate that the KJV should have rendered the Hebrew word zer by the English word “crown” in Exod. 25:11, 25; 30:3, 4; 37:2, 11, 12, 26, 27. The word most certainly does not mean crown in the commonly accepted sense of that word. Rather, it signifies a bit of “ornamental molding”...

“For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” (Matt 12:40) It is clear from the Scriptures that Jesus rose on the first day of the week (Mark 16:2), and also that this was "the third day"...

Christ being under the dominion of living men and devils refers to his being under Satan's control and that of his human cohorts (i.e. the chief priests and all those aligned with them), as he stated when they came for him, "This is your hour AND the power of darkness" (Luke 22:52, 53) Satan is...

I suppose I should enter the fray and put in my two-cents as this seems to be a troubling point for some here.. From the evidence of both the Old and New Testaments, we find it was Jewish idiom to equate “three days,” “on the third day,” and “after three days” Apparently, this custom was...

If you haven't learn the point behind the "offerings", what the significance in them is then you haven't learn the lesson which the Lord intended to show.

We see the following as allegorical lessons designed to teach a lesson, the lesson being that without the shedding of blood there is no covering, no remission for sins. “As Adam and Eve were the source of man's fall into sin and death, so their experiences represent mankind in a fallen...

Since this event is recorded in the scriptures, and the scriptures were written for our benefit profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be thoroughly furnished unto every good word and work it is prudent that we grasp what...
