I love (hate, actually) how everybody on here insults each other in so many different ways... intelligence level, cognitive ability, spiritual state, personal worthiness of consideration... Wow. I mean, this is supposed to be Christian-to-Christian interaction, for goodness sake; one might...

The trumpet judgments of Revelation 8-11: Seven angels blow seven trumpets. The trumpets set in motion seven judgments leading up to the Second Coming. The trumpets form the second cycle out of several that depict God’s rule over history from various angles. Like the trumpets used in the battle...

I don't feel pushed. But I don't feel like you're actually wanting a conversation, either, so you, I'm not pushing you into anything, either. Okay, sure. Seems to me you're being at least a bit coy, for some reason. But whatever... That's not what's happening. I'm not going to be the...

Ah, opinions... yeah, you know, everybody has one or two... <smile> No, it's actually suggestive of further conversation. If you want to press me on it, then go right ahead; that's kind of what I'm trying to get you to do. But it seems like you don't want to do that. Maybe I'm wrong about...

And I said it was just a misunderstanding. That's all. Which it was. Again, regarding Luke and Mark, yes, they were not apostles; I just did not immediately think of them in referring to the apostles and the New Testament authors. And I was kidding ~ poking at you, so to speak ~ with the...

Right. I didn't really "make a claim." I just did not immediately think of Luke and Mark. If you want to feel good about yourself "getting me" with a "gotcha" thing, then... I don't care. <smile> Nobody's perfect. <smile> I've been fielding a lot of different (and rather wild) comments in...

Thank you. <smile> Grace and peace to you.

This conversation has been very... disjointed. Four statements: I disagree that Revelation was written prior to 70 A.D... and say again that it was written close to the end of the century, which is the general consensus, and by a wide margin. I do in fact agree that what happened between 66...

I said that in response to your having said, "the events that were supposed to happen in the first century are not for us today to wait for them to happen." Now, maybe I misunderstood that comment, but that comment, to me, was tantamount to saying, in effect, that nothing John wrote in...

Ah, so insulting my intelligence now, which is always kind of a last resort, I guess... You mean "too far"... See what I did there? <smile> Well, I think the discussion would be worthwhile, but fair enough. Yeah disagree. Generally speaking, Paul did not condemn an institution initiated by...

Okay. Yeah, I disagree, but okay. Not sure what this has to do with the price of tea in China, so to speak... What you say here seems non sequitur. but fair enough. And this is another non sequitur to me... Faith, by definition (Hebrews 11:1) is God's assurance of salvation, and conviction...

Hm, I thought you were ignoring me. <chuckles> Oh well, I guess not... Anyhoo, your "answer" here is a total non sequitur... what are you even talking about? ...in addition to being nonsensical. <smile> Grace and peace to you, though.

Nope: "For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so...

<chuckles> Hmmm... Well, I don't disagree, at least not yet... <smile> I think I know, but so as not to put words in your mouth, David, to what are you referring? I'll just say that the "man of lawlessness" Paul speaks of in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 is synonymous with the antichrist that John...

And.... everything God does is for His own glory. I know your point, and I disagree with it. For the reasons cited before and more. <smile> When God commanded first Adam and Eve and later Noah and his wife to "be fruitful and multiply"... Do you think that commandment... covenant...

It could distract one from God, sure, but that says nothing about the institution of marriage itself. Again, God's instituted marriage Himself, so a man and a woman being married is a good thing... and a foretaste of the true marriage of Jesus to His church. Hey, in the same vein... yes, it...

LOL! I can read... and laugh, too. <smile> Paul was talking about the sin of lust, Grailhunter. He said, "To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single, as I am. But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to...

Or any of the apostles, for that matter? Which, if they had in what the wrote in the New Testament, would have really been God... But right. No, Jesus's context there was suddenness, that it would come at once... without warning... sudden. Like a thief in the night... Grace and peace to you...

I... can... <smile> Which... I affirmed... Yes, I agree. Go back and read my post again...? Ah, now this I disagree with. Paul was... pretty specific about the importance (to put it mildly) of marriage and family in Ephesians 5, for example... How would you back this up? MatthewG said...

Fair enough; suit yourself. Okay, great; I'm just wishing you well. Goodness gracious. <wide eyes> Okay... Grace and peace to you.
