Amen, that's what Paul was talking about when he said, "For we are not ignorant of his devices" - so, that makes me wonder about those who can't see the devil in Hollywood, music, politics, etc.

No problem. This Bible series spells everything out: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTbHLOB5jHyPxt6B3dZfpVCTpDK6VdBUi

Whatever fate the Lord has for us, one thing is sure: when He comes in the clouds, it'll be joy for us forevermore.

Thank you. I never cease to warn people that are on the side of the "Papal Counter Reformation" that they are actually fighting against God and the God-ordained "Protestant Reformation".

Scripture plainly refers to the Devil/Satan/Lucifer as a real, spirit being - not a figment of one's imagination. Do you know of any verses that lead people to believe otherwise?

You can learn a lot about human nature when you study it for as long as Satan has - around 6,000 years, if we go by Biblical chronology :)

When Jesus quoted Scripture to shut down the devil's first temptation, the devil said in his second one, "Oh, you like quoting Scripture? Well, cast yourself down from this high place because Scripture says He'll "give His angels charge to keep Thee, lest Thou dash Thy foot against the rock" -...

Just saw a new report where some government shill was discussing "long Covid" aka "VAERS raison d'etre" and the level of gaslighting on display was phenomenal.

If the Protestant Reformers were alive today, they'd instantly recognize the Second Beast of Revelation 13. Wesley tells us EXACTLY what they believed about the First Beast in his commentary on Revelation 13, where he said in the 1770s, "The time of the First Beast is almost done (538-1798) and...

Hi Matt G, we're to obey government as far as it governs in harmony with the commandments of God, and oppose it when they demand obedience against God. As a youth, don't forget Scripture commands you to esteem the wisdom of your elders - because youth and naivety unguided by age and experience...

I edited my post because I thought it was a bit long LOL

As Seventh-day Adventists, we teach that anyone who loves God will not read with stern voice and pursed lip the Ten Commandments as "thou shalt not!" -- but with a pragmatic, peaceful tone acknowledging the reasonable, righteous nature of them, we're to read them simply as "what shall be". "For...

Good, because the "father of Dispensationalism" J. N. Darby came up with that false idea. Had to stop right here and answer this: Paul says the Lord shall descend from heaven with the shout/voice/trumpet which means the noise from these three must descend with Him. By your logic, I should be...

Saying Jesus "rose" means He "resurrected" aka "brought back to life". Everything else He did is "action after a resurrection". In the same way, God will "bring" everyone else forth from the tomb as He was brought forth, an interpretation which preserves the Chiasm.

You insinuate otherwise. Look, when Albert Pike told the occult world Lucifer's plans to unleash all manner of chaos upon the world, he was talking about people who believe dead saints go straight to heaven before the Second Coming when he wrote the following: "...and the multitudes...

Here's why I have a problem with that. This "gathering" involves the Lord's "shout", "voice", and "trumpet" - which some have said is the LOUDEST verse in all the Bible. How can such earth-shattering, catastrophic CACOPHONY ever be associated with a subtle, sudden, "secret rapture" gathering...

Anyone reading this thread knows my position is that Paul didn't "say" that, but was "referring" to that. Believe dead saints are in heaven all you want, as long as you don't lead people to think "bring with Him" means "bring dead saints from heaven to Earth with Him at the Second Coming" -...

Reassuring them of being brought forth from the tomb as Jesus was, so that they "sorrow not as others (pagans) which have no hope". In speaking about Christ's glorious coming, doesn't Paul say "the Lord shall descend from heaven with a shout" immediately followed by "...and the dead in Christ...

"bring forth from death as Jesus was" - according to the context and Paul's chiasm. 1) "Saints" means "holy ones" which include "angels". 2) New Jerusalem will descend to Earth 1,000 years after the Resurrection of the Just with the angels and the redeemed inside at the Resurrection of the...

Nah, the Chiasm absolutely demands "bring with Him" refers to "bring forth from the tomb as Christ was" aka "the resurrection", the theme of the last half of the chapter...certainly not "celestial road trip". The only "trip" Paul even remotely refers to in the chapter is our "walk honestly...
