    Failed Prophecies

    Look, I've long since ceased from becoming impatient with people who get cornered with truth and react negatively as you've done. I, too, used to believe the serpent rather than God ("ye shall not surely die") regarding this issue, because misguided men who stand in pulpits taught me this...

    Failed Prophecies

    He mercifully chose parabolic language not to prevent their discovery of truth, but because He knew open, plain revelation of it would never penetrate the hearts of unbelievers, which was as as paramount His objective as was dying for us on the Cross. But assigning motive does not take away...

    Failed Prophecies

    It's a real problem if we insist the rich man is burning bodily in the flames of hellfire at death. Because Paul is clear that in the period between our current "tabernacle" in which we groan - an undeniable reference to our current mortal body - and the glorious body to come at the Second...

    Failed Prophecies

    Interpreting this passage as literal creates a lot of inconsistency with the rest of Scripture - even with other things Jesus said. The best any of us can hope to do is to be CONSISTENT with the principles of hermeneutics...but too often, when consistency undermines cherished beliefs, we tend to...

    Failed Prophecies

    Dreams and visions are not the only means by which prophetic symbolism is given. For instance, Jesus Himself used prophetic symbolism repeatedly when giving revelations of the future while wide awake and not in a prophetic trance: "The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the...

    Failed Prophecies

    That wasn't insult - it was a rebuke. Jesus' rebukes were always accompanied with tears, whether rolling down His face or welling up in His heart. I doubt seriously that those who hurl insults here in CB do so with a similarly pained heart...more like self aggrandizing sarcasm.

    Failed Prophecies

    We also must consider whether anything we insist is literal agrees with the rest of Scripture. That's where many go wrong with the Rich Man and Lazarus. Insisting this passage is a literal account of two men creates huge problems with regard to consistency with the rest of Scripture, which is...

    Failed Prophecies

    So, you're looking for a literal seven headed, leopard-bodied, bear-footed, lion-mouthed creature to arise out of the sea?

    Failed Prophecies

    I agree. I can't understand why some poeple seem to take it personally when their beliefs are challenged. What's the point in taking a position on an issue if we're not confident enough in it to allow it to stand the test of scrutiny? Jesus spoke purely unadulterated truth and yet He was...

    Well, I do prefer books with pictures over all those pages of letters that make up sensitives...sentinels...sentrys...strings of words.
