    Only 2 Comings by Lord Jesus, Not 3

    Hi! Nice to talk again! I hope things have been well for you and yours despite the eruption of insanity that began in 2020. At least, with all the political and entertainment world back and forth, we all here in CB know what really matters :) As for the "gap" issue, I always make it a point to...

    What do you mean by "reduce"?

    Drugs And Religion?

    I'm sure you'll agree that poisonous mushrooms have nothing to do with nourishment - they'll kill us. But, you seem to believe it's no big deal if a thing robs us of our ability to fight against the devil as long as it doesn't rob us of our life. Very immature. The army that sends its soldiers...

    Not so. The book is called "Revelation" which by the name alone indicates it's intended to clue us in.

    Drugs And Religion?

    You're right, it's murder, not kill, but the point remains. People have been murdered by poisoning and we can do that to ourselves either abruptly or slowly. We live in a messed up world as it is with all the pollution, so I'm sure God wants us to do the best we can by not exacerbating the...

    Drugs And Religion?

    The Bible says so...the curse not only affected the ground in its ability to yield food, but they became subject to death, as well as animals began savagely destroying each other, etc. I'll look up the verses which deal with nature being affected.

    Only 2 Comings by Lord Jesus, Not 3

    I'm happy you agree there are no cases of gaps in other prophecies...so shouldn't a thing be established "in the mouth of two or three witnesses"? Why can't we fit the last seven years in the first century? Adam Clarke thought so. Matthew Henry thought so. The entire Protestant Reformation...

    Drugs And Religion?

    It's called demonstrating absurdity by being absurd. I answered his post with good intentions, but got a flippant response. At any rate, implying we can throw out the "ten" in favor of the "two" is not sound exegesis. If you love God, you'll KEEP the first four. If you love your neighbor...

    Drugs And Religion?

    But, after curse of sin fell upon the earth, conditions arose which didn't exist in that which was "good, good, very good"...such as fermentation, poisons, toxins, etc. Animals which previously lived in harmony with each other and nature now became an opposing force to it. The Elant is the...

    Drugs And Religion?

    "Thou shalt not kill" is, right? When you introduce poisonous substances into your ransomed body which doesn't even belong to you, but to God, you are killing yourself...slowly. Last time I checked, the commandment doesn't say, "Thou shalt not kill abruptly".

    Drugs And Religion?

    Congrats. So, why ask whether dope is beneficial to our Christian walk when the Bible plainly teaches complete abstinence of anything that robs us of sobriety?

    Put down the lighter, step away from the bong, and memorize the Ten Commandments :)

    Please find me one precedent setting prophecy where the prescribed length of it does not match the duration of it.

    Drugs And Religion?

    Did Jesus need booze to get close to His Father? (Matthew 27:34 KJV) Doesn't the Bible teach us to shun drunkenness? (Ephesians 5:18 KJV) Doesn't it also teach us to maintain a constant state of sobriety? (1 Peter 5:8 KJV) Cannot Satan counterfeit upright desires with evil? The same sexual...

    Only 2 Comings by Lord Jesus, Not 3

    You can't chop off the last week of Daniel 7 and send it down to the end of time as some "last seven years" thing. There's not a single precedent for it. All Numerically Specific Time Prophecies such as the 70 Weeks always find their fulfillment at the end of the prescribed length of time, and...

    Only 2 Comings by Lord Jesus, Not 3

    If the pre-trib rapture is true, and Jesus comes "as a thief" to rapture the saints, leaving behind people to endure 7 years of tribulation, it will be impossible for Jesus to come back 7 years later "as a thief"...because the entire world will be marking off 7 years to the millisecond from the...

    Only 2 Comings by Lord Jesus, Not 3

    When we go up to meet Jesus in the air, we're not coming down at that time! The Earth is going to look like a bazillion nukes went off, according to many texts. Therefore, the 1,000 year reign with Christ must be above while the Earth lies in ruins with nothing but dead bodies scattering...

    Only 2 Comings by Lord Jesus, Not 3

    Uh, no. The time of trouble "tribulation", the 7 churches, seals, trumpets, Mark of the Beast, 6 plagues all happen before Jesus comes back at His Second Coming to collect the saints, with no "rapture" taking place seven years earlier. The 7th Plague is that Second Coming where the billions of...
