Here's one example of why Trump is not the greatest president ever, and how he's actually hurting the middle class. The setup: Trump imposed sweeping "reciprocal" tariffs on nearly every country, using a 1977 emergency-powers law (IEEPA). These were double-digit import taxes applied broadly...

That’s what I said. Spiritually dead is the condition we are born in. That is the first death. The second death is the death of the body.

When Jesus was talking about the fig tree and summer being nigh, he was referring to this Old Testament prophecy. Amo 8:1 Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit. Amo 8:2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said...

I’m glad you brought that up because I believe it applies to all believers. I think, although I can’t say for sure, that the second death is literally the second death. The first death is the condition we’re born in and the second death is when we die. Mat 8:22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow...

Envy has nothing to do with it. Pointing out that power concentrates at the top isn't wanting what they have, it's describing what happens. A doctor who says "the tumor is spreading" isn't envious of the tumor. It's almost a law of nature. The people who claw their way to the top are the ones...

Honestly, capitalism, socialism, communism, it doesn't much matter which label you slap on it. They all end up in the same place: a small ruling class on top and everybody else underneath. Capitalism concentrates power in corporations, communism concentrates it in the party, socialism in the...

Would the Noahide laws count worshipping Jesus as idolatry? The Noahide Laws (from the Talmud, Sanhedrin 56a-b) ban idolatry (avodah zarah). So would worshipping Jesus qualify? Depends who you ask. Maimonides, one of the biggest authorities in Jewish law, said yes — worshipping a man as God is...

The worshipping idols thing is what will do in Christians.

That's the problem with identity politics, the real issues never matter to the individual unless the team agrees it's a real issue. It's hive mind mentality.

I’ll have to come back to this tomorrow, got to go to bed now.

The souls under the altar are the Old Testament saints before Christ paid for their sins. The verse after that where they’re given white robes is when Jesus paid for their sins.

The verses you've given don't actually say that believers exist as temporary, unclothed spirits waiting for another body later. Ecclesiastes 12 says the spirit returns to God. John 11 says believers live because of Christ. Philippians 1 says to die is gain. Matthew 10 says the soul cannot be...

The last Trump was the voice of Jesus. Do you seriously think an angel is going to be hovering in the sky blowing a trumpet?

If they want to ban me then they will.

Next time I’m in NJ I’m claiming that ice cream.

I think I covered this in the last post to you but if not, let me know.

I follow you, and we actually agree on part of it. The change happens to each believer individually, in his own order, at death. That much we're together on. Where we part is what gets received at death. You're saying it's a spiritual body without form or flesh, a temporary state, and the real...

The kind of body that enters is the one Paul says is already waiting for us there. "We have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens" (2 Corinthians 5:1). That's not the spirit of man by itself. It's a body, but not a natural earthly one, a heavenly body made for a...

You're reading "we shall all be changed" as one corporate event at a future second coming because that's your eschatology, but nothing in the passage requires it to be corporate. "We shall all be changed" means every believer is changed, not all at the same moment, but each in his own "twinkling...

I think we might be talking about two different things. My verse,2 Corinthians 5:1, is about the glorified body: Paul contrasts our earthly "tabernacle" with a "house not made with hands," and then talks about being "clothed" and not "found naked". The heavenly Jerusalem in Hebrews 12 is a...
