I don't give a flip about JW doctrines when it comes to relying simply on the Scriptures for what I believe and write about. And hey, even the devils testified truly that Christ was "the Holy One of God". Even the devils knew and could state a truth on occasion. I DO quote Scripture...

It is called "everlasting fire" because God calls Himself a "consuming fire", and He is the ETERNAL SOURCE of that fire. God poured out His fire on Jerusalem in its AD 70 destruction to consume the city. The Devil and his angels were subjected to that environment because they were all...

That text is describing the location of Jerusalem, which is the location of God's "furnace of fire". Read Isaiah 31:9 where it states that God's "FIRE is in ZION, and His FURNACE IN JERUSALEM". Jerusalem always had a "furnace of fire" which was used to ritually purify donated items which could...

No, I didn't. I'm calling you a mis-interpreter of Scripture instead. Neither Jesus nor God is a sadist.

There is no such thing as "burning in Hell forever". It is THE RIGHTEOUS who are going to be blessed to "dwell with everlasting burnings". Read Isaiah 33:14-17. "...Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? He that walketh...

You aren't even considering the context of what Scriptures said this Sea Beast in Rev. 13 actually was. The Sea Beast had lion, bear, and leopard features in Rev. 13:2. That should tell you that this Sea Beast was a composite one which had existed ever since the "lion" empire of the...

What I "accept" is not the right question. Whether or not the government implants a chip in anyone's right hand is immaterial when it comes to the sanctity of the human soul. A government-required chip has nothing to do with the "mark" giving homage to the Roman phase of the Sea Beast. That...

I am just as opposed as the next person to intrusive government actions that attempt to curtail our freedoms. However, neither a "cashless society" nor "chipping" is related at all to the predictions of Revelation 13. None of the three Beasts of Revelation survived that first century to...

Yes, really. The "mark" of that ancient Sea Beast is looooooong past. Why do you think Christ overturned the money-changer's tables in the temple on two occasions? For a fee, the high priesthood had been requiring the "mark" of the Tyrian shekel in exchange for any foreign currency that came...

By now, Revelation 13 is all completely fulfilled ancient history. As for anticipating "world government" in our future, if not even two people on this forum can totally agree on a given point, how do you expect the entire world to do so? Neither was Revelation 13 predicting a "cashless...

This Matthew 24:24-26 prediction about the strong deception by the false christs and false prophets was not given for our generation to experience. It was strictly related to the era prior to the destruction of the second temple in AD 70. How do I know this? Because Christ warned against...

The word "first" modifies the infinitive verb phrase "to proclaim light unto the people and to the Gentiles". The word "first" does NOT modify the infinitive verb phrase "to rise from the dead". Some translations recognize this. Some don't.

You are attempting to deny that the Rev. 11:8 verse was speaking about Jerusalem when it mentions "the great city...where also our Lord was crucified". Jerusalem was where Christ suffered and then died. Personally, I believe His cross was positioned on the crest of the Mount of Olives, facing...

When Revelation's interpreting angel gives us the explanation of what the symbol of the woman represents, we are to go with that definition. Mystery Babylon was defined for us in Rev. 17:18. "And the woman which thou sawest IS that great city which ruleth over the kings of the earth." This...

Sure He was. Read Luke 9:31, describing the Mount of Transfiguration with Moses and Elijah speaking with Him about His approaching death. "Who having appeared in glory, spake of his outgoing that he was about to fulfill in Jerusalem."

AD 69-70 with Simon bar Gioras' army forcing his way into Jerusalem and establishing himself as the main leader over the other competing Zealot factions. Gog's battle started as a CIVIL war in Jerusalem, because Ezekiel 38:21 describes this battle as "every man's sword shall be against his...

Not odd at all. Solomon's temple foundation stone was laid down in 968 / 967 BC (depending on your source). This comprised a literal thousand years of a physical temple worship system sanctioned by God UNTIL Christ's resurrection-day ascension in AD 33 established Him as the true foundation...

When that "change" was to be brought about, Paul wrote that the saying would come to pass that "DEATH is swallowed up in victory. The GRAVE would have no victory over those who were sleeping and who would come out of that grave. There is nothing at all in this 1 Cor. 15 context which describes...

That "change" in 1 Cor. 15:50-54 was for the DEAD believers in that text - not the living. This was taught all the way back in Job 14:14-15. Job spoke about God hiding a man in the grave, then setting a time, and remembering him. "If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my...

Here, let me quote you a hyper-literal, rigid statement of Scripture. "For as in Adam ALL DIE, even so in Christ all shall be made alive." (1 Cor. 15:22). NOBODY gets off this planet without passing through the physical death process, if you are one of Adam's descendants. For all of those who...
