There's a lady who goes to my church; she's a friend of the family. She was originally diagnosed with cancer but has received treatment and, I believe, is currently in remission. But every time she goes to the doctor, they seem to find something wrong. She's had several rounds of chemotherapy...

That's how it works. First it's tolerated, then it's accepted, and then it's required.

Are you a Seventh-day Adventist because I have never heard that term before? Where does free will enter into the equation? Are we to be saved by force? Salvation is a choice. It's not God's will for anyone to perish. If it's not God's will then whose will is it? How would you explain Lucifer...

There are two main schools of medicine: the house of allopathy and the house of homeopathy. Allopathy is the cornerstone of western medicine. Its focus is on treating the symptoms of an illness, mainly through medication. This is where my criticism of modern medicine begins. Medication is used...

It's not fair for anyone. None of us had anything to do with what Adam did, and yet here we are. But when sin entered the world, it affected everything (Rom 8:22). It affected God too, who had to send His only begotten son to suffer and die for our sins. We just have to take solace in knowing...

Such theology presumes everyone wants to be saved, but this isn't the case. There are people who want nothing to do with God. Satan and his fallen angels certainly didn't want to submit to God's authority, and they had full knowledge of God. Such individuals would never be content to live in...

The U.S. strayed quite a bit from its Christian roots since the 1950s. It was not perfect, but compared to today it was a picnic in the park.

I find this all interesting in light of other headlines. Cern is doing a big test on the 8th. Officals of warning are stocking up on food and water. Niagra Falls is declaring a state of emergency. Maybe something will happen, maybe not. Maybe it's the starting point of something. Either way...

Except He didn't design it that way. Death was not part of God's creation. All that stuff entered the world after the fall of Adam. We live in a fallen world\universe. The good news is the restoration of all things is underway albeit slowly.

Nope, they knew what they were doing. They are spitting in the face of every true Christian

That would all depend on who the "elect" are referring to. "Elect" is a general term that has been referred to Israel, believers both living and dead, and even angels at one point (1 Timothy 5:21). Considering that Matt 24:29–31 is nestled in between Jesus talking about the Great Tribulation...

There have been twin studies where one was homosexual and the other was heterosexual. If genes were the determining factor in sexuality, then there would be no such deviations. It has more to do with environmental factors. I would say the explosion of the alphabet lifestyle has more to do with...

I didn't say that. What I am saying is that the revelation of the truth sometimes takes time. When Daniel was shown a vision of future events, he didn't understand it because it wasn't meant for his generation. The angel told him to seal up the book until the time of the end, when knowledge...

That's a good reason. Silver also has quite a bit of industrial use, whereas gold is primarily used for jewelry. And from what I understand, the value of silver has been heavily suppressed. When the day comes and it finally breaks free, there is potential for even bigger gains than gold since...

I own a little bit of Bitcoin, nothing major. I have been been investing in that and precious metals, particularly silver. They both have potential to skyrocket, especially when the fiat system starts to fail.

Author Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book in 2015 entitled "David and Goliath" that deals with the biblical story of the same name. It presents an alternate view that portrays David not as a weak underdog but as a mighty warrior, and Goliath not as the strong giant but as a sickly man. In Gladwell's...

I will say it is a bit curious that both Kate and Charles would have a cancer diagnosis around the same time.

Actually, that proves my point too. They couldn't have had that conversation until the theological framework was built. It took roughly 300 years for the trinity doctrine to be established, for instance. It shouldn't be a surprise then that so many of these various rapture doctrines were...

The rapture was talked about, sure, but it wasn't really a topic of conversation and debate like it is today. They certainly didn't have a concept of a pre, mid, pre-wrath, or post-trib rapture like we do. Their primary eschatological focus was on the timing of the Second Coming, whether the...

I disagree. The Christian Church didn't have a rapture doctrine. Sure, you can probably find elements of every rapture position in early Christian writings if you look hard enough, but they didn't have a single codified rapture doctrine. The rapture wasn't even really being discussed until the...
