    The Wrath of the Lord

    In a court room, innocence is never declared. We are not innocent, having been guilty of sin. We are saved because Jesus washes our sin away. There is a difference and it's not as easy as guilt or innocence; a third way is Grace and Mercy - to be let off the hook, so to speak and proclaimed...

    Why do people believe in a rapture?

    When you claim your voice equals the truth of Scripture. is: third person singular present tense of to be. be: 1. The copula in a sentence or clause; the verb which asserts a relation between subject and predicate noun. -- Webster's Third International Dictionary copyright 1957. Your horrible...

    The Wrath of the Lord

    That's not true. Isaiah 30:26 does not describe a coronal mass ejection, and Isaiah specifically precludes it from happening on the Day of the Lord by saying the sun shines seven times brighter on the day He heals the (remnant) people of the bruises He has inflicted! We are not to suffer God's...

    The Wrath of the Lord

    The theological concept is Justification. We who first believe, are not made innocent, but are only 'not guilty' by the blood of Jesus. The idea then is that when viewed by the Father, it is Christ Jesus' Righteousness that stands before us, and His Holiness becomes the view through which the...

    The Wrath of the Lord

    You want to judge me and pick at words? As Scripture speaks of Jesus, and He is the Word, and Scripture is made up of words, it's God's Word. I do not equate the Bible with God, but by showing the possessive, I acknowledge that Scripture comes from God. All Scripture is God-breathed. It's...

    The Wrath of the Lord

    Well, we're all "saints" because of Jesus, but I seriously don't see what this guy's problem is so that he has to split hairs. I use "God's Word" as synonymous for Scripture or the Bible. John said the Word was God. Should mjr correct him too?

    Why do people believe in a rapture?

    How dare you equate yourself with God.

    The Wrath of the Lord

    Nope. 27 Far from any sacrifice to put away the sins of the apostates, "only a fearful expectation of judgment" awaits such people. The nature of this expectation is not defined, and the fact that the fate of these evil persons is left indefinite makes the warning all the more impressive. The...

    The Wrath of the Lord

    What are you talking about - it really doesn't make sense. Jesus, who is the Word of God, said it: there is but one way to the Father, thought him, Jesus - and the Bible is all about Him. Either you agree that Jesus is Lord, which is not misrepresented, or you say He isn't. Up or down. One...

    The Wrath of the Lord

    Really? Straining gnats are we?

    The Wrath of the Lord

    Hebrews 10 is not an eschatogoical passage, but a call to repentance and obedience. The faithful are called to obey by presenting the ultimate alternative: eternal death. Besides, not all the wicked die by fire in the one 'seven', a third of the wicked die by their own hand in war. Still more...

    Why do people believe in a rapture?

    It is amazing to me that some people set out to destroy what other people believe. With as many different ways as there are to interpret Scripture, the Bible, or God's Word - and some will quibble over the least little definition and swallow a whole misconception - to set out to destroy is...

    Why do people believe in a rapture?

    Rather pathetic to make your opponents out to be agents of Satan and then to try to enlist your critic for aid.

    The Wrath of the Lord

    Pass on into outer space... Yeah right. More fanciful notions about Isaiah 30:26.

    The Wrath of the Lord

    The Bible is the inspired Word of God.

    Why do people believe in a rapture?

    Let's look at the verses rabbi keras cites to set them right versus what he says they mean, because he is hardly credible even when quoting the Bible. Rev 19:6 Then I heard something like the voice of a great multitude and like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of...

    Differences between Daniel 2 and Daniel 7

    Wrong again, and yet again, you're off topic. We were having a related discussion about how one can view the book of Revelation. The fourth terrible beast has not yet formed. The anti-Christ has not yet "hamstrung" ('uproot' is not an agricultural term and it also means to hamstring) three...

    Differences between Daniel 2 and Daniel 7

    I really don't care who did what first, because then I have to lean on another's understanding. The Bible is written so all can see it; the fact is, that there are many ways to see it. Here is how the Expositor's Bible Commentary, summed up four ways to approach the book of Revelation. In the...

    DANIEL......Brakelite's thoughts.

    Some small points of contention. You say the ten horns are the divisions of western Europe. One of the seven Angels who had charge of the Bowls of God's Wrath tells this to John: Rev 17:12 The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority...
