Hello @Heart2Soul, With reference to your feedback on page 11 (#205):- With respect, I do not believe that the assemblies listed in Revelation chapter one, (Ephesus; Smyrna; Pergamos; Thyatira; Sardis; Philadelphia & Laodicea) are symbolic of seven successive stages of ecclesiastical history...

Hello @Heart2Soul, I praise God that you noticed these differences and desired to understand them. I have also read #205, the feedback you have given of the results of your study of this subject to date. Having only read through your thread today, I have nothing to contribute personally, but...

Thank you, @Finesse, The only words I don't understand is, 'we will work to appease Him'. Perhaps you would explain why this is necessary. Within the love of God, in Christ Jesus Chris :)

'The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no...

Hello @Stranger Sorry to have confused you, when I mistakenly typed in Ephraim instead of Ishmael. In Christ Jesus Chris

No problem, I am not offended. I just don't see how I took the verses out of context. You say 'Ephraim' as a whole. Yet, Ephraim is not the Arab people. So, I do not understand. What I quoted is part of the whole, but is truthful of the whole. No matter what God does with the Arab people...

Hello @Waiting on him, I don't know that this is true. For in daily life, if a person breaks the law of the land, you could do no other than to hold that trespass against them, for it would need to receive due punishment. o_O This can only be said in regard to God, I believe. In regard to the...
