I would be honored. First the verses being discussed: [Matthew 24:29-30 ESV] 29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then will...

[Rev 6:9-11 NKJV] 9 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those...

Not completely wrong. Those verses quoted do not “prove” everything that he claimed they prove, but they do state fairly clearly that the “Day of the Lord” comes after the “tribulation” and that great celestial upheaval is part of that day. So he has provided “the WORD OF GOD” that contradicts...

Non sequitur.

I started with a quick “search” to get a general feel for what Scripture had to say: [Isa 2:12 NKJV] 12 For the day of the LORD of hosts [Shall come] upon everything proud and lofty, Upon everything lifted up--And it shall be brought low-- [Isa 13:6, 9 NKJV] 6 Wail, for the day of the LORD...

‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.' ... John 3: [NKJV] 10 Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? 11 Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not...

In case @amadeus point was too subtle ... JESUS was the "Kingdom of Heaven" (Heaven being the dwelling place of God) that was "at hand" [Matthew 4:17]. Jesus (GOD) had come down from Heaven to Earth, so the Kingdom of Heaven had come to men while they (WE) still lived. It seems appropriate to...

… and when they did, the Holy Spirit manifested the ‘charismata’ to prove that those baptisms were into the TRUE CHURCH. So does that still happen when the “right people” baptize to confirm that they and only they are the “right people” and theirs is the only “right church” (small ‘c’)? As...

Matthew 12 22 Then a demon-possessed man, who was blind and couldn’t speak, was brought to Jesus. He healed the man so that he could both speak and see. 23 The crowd was amazed and asked, “Could it be that Jesus is the Son of David, the Messiah?” 24 But when the Pharisees heard about the...

Humor to make the bitter truth a little easier to swallow:

An example from "World Pantheism" St Jerome at Prayer, Hieronymus Bosch Most versions of Christianity are panentheistic. They believe in a God who is present and active in this world, a God who can dwell in each person if they accept the grace of the Holy Spirit. Yet he is also a God who...

GotQuestions: "What is Christian pantheism? Christian pantheism is an attempt to connect the Bible with the false idea that everything that exists is, itself, actually God. This is the central idea of pantheism: that “God is everything, and everything is God.” However, the Bible clearly speaks...

Yup. The vowels in the anagram were lost in Babylon, so the only thing we know for certain is "JEHOVAH" is not the correct transliteration of the original since it comes from mashing together two different words since the name of GOD was too holy to write down. Considering how many different...

[Exodus 34:7 NKJV] 7 "keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children's children to the third and the fourth generation." [Numbers 14:18 NKJV] 18 'The LORD is...

Yes and no. The two year old is guileless, like Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve had fully developed minds and no “inherited curse”, so they have less excuse than the two year old. What the two year old does point out is that the DESIRE to disobey is innate to human beings. It shatters the myth that...

I believe we all possess the requisite "understanding" ... it is only when it comes to actually choosing obedience that we fail rather consistently. When you ask a two year old with chocolate stains around their mouth if they ate the Oreos you told them were for after supper, and they tell you...

Yet the result (in the OT) was always the same ... "THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME." I (personally) think that is why "the Father draws" ... nothing else worked.

Except Esau (Malachi 1:3, Romans 9:13). ;)

Ralph was born to an abusive alcoholic, suffered a traumatic head injury in a car accident as a teenager that left him a little slow and his father enough money in the lawsuit settlement to remain drunk. Shortly thereafter, his mother had enough beatings and ran off. Ralph spent the remainder...
