Not so. The book is called "Revelation" which by the name alone indicates it's intended to clue us in.

You're right, it's murder, not kill, but the point remains. People have been murdered by poisoning and we can do that to ourselves either abruptly or slowly. We live in a messed up world as it is with all the pollution, so I'm sure God wants us to do the best we can by not exacerbating the...

The Bible says so...the curse not only affected the ground in its ability to yield food, but they became subject to death, as well as animals began savagely destroying each other, etc. I'll look up the verses which deal with nature being affected.

I'm happy you agree there are no cases of gaps in other prophecies...so shouldn't a thing be established "in the mouth of two or three witnesses"? Why can't we fit the last seven years in the first century? Adam Clarke thought so. Matthew Henry thought so. The entire Protestant Reformation...

It's called demonstrating absurdity by being absurd. I answered his post with good intentions, but got a flippant response. At any rate, implying we can throw out the "ten" in favor of the "two" is not sound exegesis. If you love God, you'll KEEP the first four. If you love your neighbor...

But, after curse of sin fell upon the earth, conditions arose which didn't exist in that which was "good, good, very good"...such as fermentation, poisons, toxins, etc. Animals which previously lived in harmony with each other and nature now became an opposing force to it. The Elant is the...

"Thou shalt not kill" is, right? When you introduce poisonous substances into your ransomed body which doesn't even belong to you, but to God, you are killing yourself...slowly. Last time I checked, the commandment doesn't say, "Thou shalt not kill abruptly".

Congrats. So, why ask whether dope is beneficial to our Christian walk when the Bible plainly teaches complete abstinence of anything that robs us of sobriety?

I'm still hanging on a line LOL

:D

Put down the lighter, step away from the bong, and memorize the Ten Commandments :)

Please find me one precedent setting prophecy where the prescribed length of it does not match the duration of it.

Did Jesus need booze to get close to His Father? (Matthew 27:34 KJV) Doesn't the Bible teach us to shun drunkenness? (Ephesians 5:18 KJV) Doesn't it also teach us to maintain a constant state of sobriety? (1 Peter 5:8 KJV) Cannot Satan counterfeit upright desires with evil? The same sexual...

You can't chop off the last week of Daniel 7 and send it down to the end of time as some "last seven years" thing. There's not a single precedent for it. All Numerically Specific Time Prophecies such as the 70 Weeks always find their fulfillment at the end of the prescribed length of time, and...

If the pre-trib rapture is true, and Jesus comes "as a thief" to rapture the saints, leaving behind people to endure 7 years of tribulation, it will be impossible for Jesus to come back 7 years later "as a thief"...because the entire world will be marking off 7 years to the millisecond from the...

When we go up to meet Jesus in the air, we're not coming down at that time! The Earth is going to look like a bazillion nukes went off, according to many texts. Therefore, the 1,000 year reign with Christ must be above while the Earth lies in ruins with nothing but dead bodies scattering...

Uh, no. The time of trouble "tribulation", the 7 churches, seals, trumpets, Mark of the Beast, 6 plagues all happen before Jesus comes back at His Second Coming to collect the saints, with no "rapture" taking place seven years earlier. The 7th Plague is that Second Coming where the billions of...

Peter, Isaiah, Jeremiah, etc. I think it's you who've missed something. Isaiah says the Lord's going to make the Earth empty because the people transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, and broke the everlasting covenant - which must refer to the NEW COVENANT since the OC waxed old and...

Is it just me, or do we all get a sense of satisfaction when Jesus helps us push the old man of sin back down in the grave, when we return good for evil? Why, just yesterday the devil came at me and I just knew I'd die if I didn't give in to him, but I literally cried out for Jesus for help...

Very good analysis...the sin nature remains there FOR US TO FIGHT AGAINST because we can live 50 years serving Jesus with all our heart and all someone has to do is cut us off on the way home from work, and immediately the old man of sin wants to resurrect and give the other driver what for LOL...
