Wormwood, the idea that gun control laws keep guns out of the hands of those who don't obey the law is not seemingly the product of thinking critically, it is seemingly the product of reckless, willful ignorance. Criminals have no regard for laws, especially gun control laws. The evidence -...

Where does the Bible say that only Jews will endure a seven years of tribulation?

I will preface a question with the following, which is not intended to be inflammatory, but simply to establish a precedent: the RCC has a well documented history of deliberately lying to the masses, as in the case of St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre when "heretics" were slaughtered by the tens of...

Yes, the Papacy is the Beast and with the Pope at its head, as "Historicism" proves beyond the shadow of doubt. You haven't seen any "signs and lying wonders"? Have you heard of Fatima, Medjugorje, or any number of other places where "Mary" is supposed to have appeared, places which have been...

What do you mean by "measure of election"?

I am revisiting this topic, hopefully to a broader audience this time, seeing that the challenge in my original OP has gone unmet. In 2 Thessalonians 2, Paul spoke of the "restrainer" which was preventing the rise of the "Man of Sin" (Antichrist) and Paul said when this restrainer is "taken out...

Meeting Jesus. His awesome character either makes us say, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord" or "Depart from me, Lord, for I like the sinful man that I am". God gets the credit or blame, depending on which class above we belong to. God dealt to me, as in all men, the measure of faith...

Wormwood, I don't think Dcopymope meant to be disrespectful. There's a saying I've been hearing lately that goes "facts don't care about your feelings" and it means that regardless of how they make us feel, facts are still facts. We Christians take the same position when we warn non-believers...

Ok, but please remember that Peter said "Knowing this first that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost". Therefore, the prophecy of the Two Witnesses must...

JustAName, what is that hard part? The choice is simple: do I want to live or do I want to die? It's like this: We are born with a satanically selfish heart, upon the throne of which Satan sits. Jesus comes and offers to replace that heart with a new heart upon which He will sit enthroned which...

What we know: The Two Witnesses are described as two human beings. The Two Witnesses are symbols. Therefore, the meaning of the symbol of the Two Witnesses must be something other than human beings. According to Dictionary Online: symbol (noun) 1. a thing that represents or stands for...

I thought I already answered your "better than everyone" question. Nevertheless, I'll be blunt. I consider myself the least worthy of His graces. I don't recall ever stating that I "chose to seek after Christ" because I teach others that "it is the goodness of God that leadeth men to...

The difference is that Protestants had the Bible to decide for themselves what they would believe without threat of TORTURE AND DEATH for refusing to accept all that their leaders put before them, as was the case in Catholicism. While torture chambers are absent from Protestant churches, they...

What's the very first verse of the book of Revelation? "The revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave unto Him to show unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass, and He sent and signified it..." "Signified" means "represented by symbolism". Your signature is a symbolic...

Here's a different take. Revelation is a highly symbolic book, which symbols are interpreted by the Bible itself. To understand Revelation 11, we must review Zechariah 4, where Zechariah has an extremely similar vision and reveals what it means: "the word of the Lord". The "Two Witnesses" , the...

I'll thank you not to accuse me of such blasphemy. Freewill choice is not sovereign to God - it is subordinate to us. By it, we request of God life or death. His decision to honor that request is not evidence we are “sovereign”, but that He is an Honorable Gentlemen. Agreed, but the conclusions...

Not by a longshot, as shown below: Do you not understand the concept of free will choice? If the fate of the saved/lost is based solely on that being predetermined by God, then freewill is non-existent because the entire concept of freewill is the freedom for us to choose to either surrender or...

Don't you believe in Unconditional Election? Because that teaching robs men of their free will by insisting that God from the beginning decided who was to be saved or lost.

There are some people who just don't understand the concept of incrementalism - they'll never accept that their liberty is actively, gradually being eroded until Martial Law is declared and even then, they'll still be unsure until they check with there local governmental authorities to see if...

Whoa whoa, watch it bro! You might be accused of being a "wild eyed CONSPIRACY theorist" by others who are soft on gun rights! LOL (of course, those of us who don't live in Cloud Cookie Land know full well that the purpose of the 2nd Amendment was so that "We the people" could adequately...
