I don’t understand why you are wasting time HERE and with this question. Before GOD laid claim to me, I wasn’t wringing my hands over not feeling bad about sin. To quote Madea … “Get them before they get you” was the operating principle. It was GOD that made me care. Why do you care if it is...

[Mat 24:28 KJV] 28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Eagles do not gather for carrion, but vultures do and the vultures of the Middle East often resemble eagles in appearance. [Luk 17:37 KJV] 37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And...

An excellent observation on the phrase. I WILL think about that. Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day. (just posted for reference for anyone reading along)

As a practical matter, there are few alternatives.

This is a confusing response to my post. Jesus made his statement somewhere around AD 31-33 and was “lifted up” in AD 33. I was asking about people living in North America between AD 100 and AD 1400 (that’s a LOT of generations). Christopher Columbus arrived in North America with the gospel...

I guess I should "put up or shut up" myself, so here goes: "there was evening and there was morning" = an affirmation of a sunset to sunset day as the Semitic people to whom it was written understood a "day" ... 24-hours as we understand a day. I accept the Bible as literal unless there is...

... but we are no closer to the meaning of "there was evening and there was morning" in Genesis 1. ;)

Not really much help. I have heard both sides. I graduated from an Engineering University (so I understand science). What I have not heard anyone from the "Old Earth" or "a Day is not 24 hours" camp address is the very specific phrase in Genesis 1 repeated at the end of each "day" ... "there...

Somebody needs a hug.

One is EITHER apostate OR a backslider. [apostate] [1 John 2:18-19 NASB20] 18 Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they were not [really]...

Since the Bible does not say ... I suggest Dante's Inferno for human speculation with no biblical authority. A "fun" read. ;)

Lots of off-topic opinions about the age of the universe/Earth on another topic, and I had a question, so time for a new topic ... Genesis 1: 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 And the earth was a formless and desolate emptiness, and darkness was over the surface of the...

Sounds good in theory ... Let's talk about the people living in Central America 100 years before Columbus arrived with the Gospel: How did Jesus draw them? What were they given "faith" in? They lived and died without ever hearing the word of God, right? Did they reject something they never...

The verse Enoch11 quoted to support his statement, contradicted the argument that the Great Tribulation coincides with the Day of the LORD. It also identified the day of the Lord coming AFTER the other events. After means “not the same” by definition.

I compared EACH of his 5 statement to the verses he chose to support them and noted which phrases in each verse clearly supported the statement or implied support for the statement or did not (in my opinion) support the statement. So I have already addressed his claims. Where we differ is that...

6 days or 6 billion years … I don’t know for sure. What I do know for certain is that the Bible got enough “correct” that made no logical sense that I am unwilling to bet against it. Remember the lesson of the Hittites.

Since you are asking for MY SPECULATIONS: I believe that from Creation to the birth of Abel (the generation of Adam and Eve) existed to demonstrate that given neutral (pre-fall and uncorrupted) free will, man would eventually “miss the mark” (the basic meaning behind ‘sin’) and fall short of...

[Rev 20:11 NKJV] 11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. [Rev 21:1 NKJV] 1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was...

You will need to respond to HIS quoted verses in support of HIS statements about what they prove. I was merely offering my opinions about which of HIS 5 conclusions were supported by the verses that HE quoted. The Great Tribulation comes before the Day of Wrath, so I do not see how your...

I lean towards literalism unless the context gives me some reason why literalism is not appropriate. As YOU quoted … the “wonders in the heavens and in the earth” come BEFORE the “great and the terrible” DAY OF THE LORD. So … They are NOT interchangeable if one comes BEFORE the other. In all...
