Hi Hitch, This really isn't as difficult as it seems. To give context, Peter was quoting the passage in it's entirety but he was really only focusing on vss. 17 & 18 to get to the conclusion of vs.21. Vss. 19 & 20 are still future. There is a similar situation in the book of Hebrews describing...

No, it's either bland little crackers or sometimes torn up pieces of white bread, but when making a point I thought pumpernickel sounded better. :lol:

I think I gotta side with Retrobyter on this one.

Hi Richard, I enjoyed your piece so much it was if I had written it myself. ;)

Uh oh, I think I might be guilty of presumption as I consider myself a king and priest. Rev. 1:6 - "And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever." I also consider my self a joint- heir with Christ, Rom. 8:17 - "And if children, then...

Hi Axehead, Your Q: "Do you agree or do you think what He tells you to do are just suggestions?" I don't know if you're trying to be snarky or what but in case this is an honest question, I'll answer. No one, upon salvation, takes their first steps in christianity and never sins again...

Hi Richard, Thanks for the kudos, I appreciate it. BTW, which state do you reside in, if I may ask?

Well, Episkopos, I look at it this way, Yes, Christ was flesh like us but there was one difference. In order to be the perfect, sinless, sacrifice He had to born with out the basic sin nature that all men are born with. That is why He was conceived by the Holy Spirit as it is through the males...

Episkopos, Your words: "Here you contradict the previous thing you said. We are all known by our behaviour. Do you think people should measure holiness by a machine like a geiger counter???? One can tell the holiness of a person by their fruit...which IS behaviour." I wouldn't neccessarily...

1 Co. 3:16-17 - “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.” I believe this to be the most abused verse in the bible. For decades and...

Well, without reading all 386 replies I don't know if anyone's made this observation or not. In my opinion, it is impossible for anyone, christian or not to live their life without sinning. The only person that ever could is Christ. Christians will never be sinless, but as we mature in Christ...

Fifteen hundred years before the birth of the Messiah. The seven feasts foretold, in type, the major redemptive works of His life. The four spring feasts relate to His first coming . His death was depicted in Passover. That His body would not decay in the grave is seen in Unleavened Bread. His...

Retrobyter, I must disagree. The only parts of Dan. 11 that are fulfilled is through vs. 20 which is Antiochus Eppiphanes. Vs. 21 to the end is an obvious prophecy of the a/c. Could parts of these verses seemed to have been fulfilled at one time or another? Sure, history repeats itself, just...

Hitch, Your verse and following words" 54Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. Whats funny is that most futurists claim to take the scriptures literally. Yet they seldom ,if ever quote Jesus Christ. Scriptures aren't always...

Veteran, Your words: Did you not know that The Gospel was preached to Abraham according to Paul? Christ was prepared before the foundation of the world to come to die on the cross to defeat death and the devil in order to offer us His Salvation. That's how far back the Good News was planned. So...

With such a mighty God on our side and with the knowledge the war has already been won, how can a christian not be an optimist. If christianity isn't a religion where one should look at things optimistically, I don't know what is!! For the most part, what is coming is coming on the unbelieving...

You guys are missing the point. The word gospel as we use it today, simply did not have the same meaning when Christ used it. No one is denying there is only one gospel, now, just that the intent was different when Christ used the word, imo.

I keep hearing people imply that these scriptures are speaking of the same thing when in reality, I believe they are two separate things. Matt. 28:19-20 - Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and...

Tim, The "7 times" of Leviticus doesn't apply because after the Babylonian captivity when Nehemiah re-built the temple, Israel as a nation repented. The caveat for Israel to be punished 7 times did not apply towards their sin but only if they refused to repent. They repented thus no 7 times...

Hitch, Possibility #1 - In the generic view of the Great trib, death is the easy way out. The number of dead is irrelevant. How many of those souls will end up in hell is the most important aspects. Compared with the time of Noah, the amount of dead will greatly outnumber the amount in Noah's...
