    Revelation 2:10 ....and you will have tribulation 10 days...

    It is prophetic time. Based on a day for a year principle, “After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise. ” Numbers 14:34 KJV...

    Define salvation. ( what is "the Gospel")

    I'm sorry that I answered the question so well it put an end to all discussion.

    Does the Bible contradict itself? - Reader Poll (and discussion)

    What are you saying here? That Jesus changed His mind? That at one time He wasn't going to abolish it, but did so anyway by fulfilling it? Of so, please explain how fulfilling is a definition of abolishing. While you are at it, maybe explain why Jesus would abolish the sabbath just a short time...

    Types of Christians….what type are you?

    What you said was true except for the part where you claimed I was saying something different.

    What did Christ mean saying, God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

    That is assumption based on wrong premises. Angels are spirits, yet they are not immortal, because scripture says the devil will be destroyed. So are human sinners. And you continue to conflate soul and spirit despite being referred to Genesis 2:7 which says unequivocally that man became a...

    Types of Christians….what type are you?

    If you knew the scriptures, you would know that was the opposite to what I am saying. I said those who were Christians in name only, don't know Christ. That is not a license to sin. Yet they do. And they end up weeping and gnashing teeth... until they die the second death. 21"Not everyone...

    Types of Christians….what type are you?

    I think there are 2 types of Christians. Only 2. Jesus spoke of only two. One type of Christian He didn't know. They were Christians in name only. The other type of Christian knew both He and the Father. To them was given eternal life. You see, your definitions above are based solely on...

    What did Christ mean saying, God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

    I think that only God is eternal because He is God. We aren't, either God or eternal. Except eternal life is given as a gift. Not because of what we are. But because of Who Jesus is, and what He had accomplished on our behalf.

    What did Christ mean saying, God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

    That all sounds well and good, all couched in spiritual terms and even with Bible references. But it's all deception, and you have to deny clear bible truth in order to sustain it. Only God is immortal. We receive immortality as a gift. That gift comes to us at the second coming. And only...

    Define salvation. ( what is "the Gospel")

    The gospel is really very simple. Without going into the how at this point, the result is... there is therefore now no condemnation for them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. ROMANS 8:1 “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world...

    What did Christ mean saying, God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

    Read Genesis again. Man was not given a soul. He was given life in the form of breath/spirit, and he became a soul. God is spirit. John 4:24. God only is immortal. 1 Timothy 6:15,16. Therefore God only is an immortal spirit. We are not gods.

    What did Christ mean saying, God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

    The only way you can justify the natural immortality of the soul, is by redefining the meaning of death, and in doing so making scripture of none effect. The soul that sins, it shall die. Separation in and of itself, is not death. However, because such separation is in context a...

    Omnist Christianity and the elohim.

    Yep. Regardless of how much of that prejudiced dissertation I believe to be either literal or metaphorical, the predominant message you are giving is that you do not believe in scripture, despite your claims to the contrary. You claim to be a follower of Jesus, yet don't believe what He...

    Past The Exuberance of Victory: Assessing MAGA's enemies

    Sadly, the European invaders of Australia relegated the indigenous people of Australia to exactly that...flora and fauna, thus justifying their genocide.

    Past The Exuberance of Victory: Assessing MAGA's enemies

    You would obviously agree that to render unto Caesar that which is his, and render unto God that which is His, is a spiritual truth to be honoured. The problem the church has these days is in discerning what actually belongs to each camp. Also, I believe there were many genuine Christians...

    Omnist Christianity and the elohim.

    I accept metaphor when the text demands it. I accept literal unless it is clear and obvious it must be metaphor. Your description above is a mixture of both, not knowing how to discern between the two paradigms. I accept a literal 6 day creation because God personally wrote with His own...

    Is this place overwhelming just the typical run of the mill conservative Christians who ignore science and biblical scholarship?

    Augustin56 would likely prefer Catholic Christian who has the full truth and fundamentalist Christian who is a terrorist and violent. At least according to Francis. Ironically, the Catholic Church has become one of the most liberal of religions.

    Omnist Christianity and the elohim.

    As I said, many believe in evolution because they don't believe in scripture. God's own words... not those of a prophet, a translation, a redacted interpretation, or bible critic, but the hand written word of God Himself utterly contradicts any evolution theory... “8 Remember the sabbath...

    Omnist Christianity and the elohim.

    Mmm. He said He believes scripture, but just not the way we do. So he believes in evolution, would like to know what he makes of the following... “1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by...

    Omnist Christianity and the elohim.

    Wow. You know so much about me! That's astonishing. How do you do it?
