    A Question About The Death and Resurrection of Christ

    Simple: The guilt of humanity was laid upon Him so that "He Who knew no sin became sin for us", that He might suffer the penalty that was ours for us - total separation from His Father followed by an eternal extinction of being (death). Note: His humanity passed out of existence only, of course...

    Only 2 Comings by Lord Jesus, Not 3

    Do this: Go to work on Monday, tell your boss your taking your lunch hour at noon, come back at 5:00 to punch out for the day, and when he asks why you didn't come back after an hour, tell him, "Oh boss, didn't you get the memo? There's a 4 hour 'gap' between 12:59 and 1:00." If he says no...

    Only 2 Comings by Lord Jesus, Not 3

    Never said He's turn the Earth into an asteroid belt...but the Bible depicts a completely uninhabited world at the Second Coming when Jesus comes as a thief...no atmosphere, no elements, no works therein...and no people when all the wicked drop dead "at the brightness of His coming." Not going...

    Only 2 Comings by Lord Jesus, Not 3

    It's hermeneutics like this that drive me crazy. "...from the going forth of the commandment...unto Messiah the Prince..." The text is clear: the 483 years begin with the decree (of Artaxerxes) and ended with the Prince Jesus being "messiah-ed" aka "anointed" in baptism in 27 A.D., not...

    Did Jesus Go To Hell?

    You do realize Luke 16 is a parable, found in the middle of a bunch of other parables, which contains things that violate other texts of Scripture if it's not a parable, right? Such as: Genesis 2:7 KJV says the Living Soul comes into existence as a consequence of the union of the Body and the...

    Did Jesus Go To Hell?

    God's still on the throne, so yes!

    Did Jesus Go To Hell?

    Elijah never died, so there's no question it was he in his glorified body, which he no doubt recieved when he was taken up to heaven, appearing to Jesus, right or wrong? There was a "dispute" about the body of Moses, right? Why would Satan care about a dead body that he can't possess, tempt...

    We have to be consistent with our symbolism. We can't claim the 70 Weeks of Daniel 9 are symbolic time periods, but then head over to Revelation and insist that the 1,260 days, 42 months, 3 1/2 years, and time/times/half a time are literal, especially when dealing with a book that John plainly...

    Did Jesus Go To Hell?

    No commas in the originals, so "today" is either modifying the verb that precedes or follows. It's modifying the preceding "I say" and not the preceding "will be" because the one makes sense, while the other causes total confusion because Jesus said on Sunday He hadn't been to paradise (more on...

    Did Jesus Go To Hell?

    Hi, there's actually grave implications for what we believe happens to our loved ones. If we think there is consciousness in death, then we may be opening ourselves to deception by what we think are "spirits of our loved ones" appearing to us and telling us things. As one who knows beyond any...

    Did Jesus Go To Hell?

    To which "hell" do you refer? If you mean, "the grave" or "the place of the dead" where the man Jesus did "sleep the sleep of death", though His divinity did not die, of course. If you mean "hell" as in the "fiery, burning, blazing" hell of "gehenna", that isn't burning yet: "...and to reserve...

    Only 2 Comings by Lord Jesus, Not 3

    How in the world can "order" and "time" melt with fervent heat? In any case, the passing away of the heavens, the melting of the elements, the Earth and the works therein burned up will leave a totally uninhabitable Earth because the prophecies clearly predict an destroyed, empty, dark...

    Only 2 Comings by Lord Jesus, Not 3

    There's only three heavens that God's Bible knows about: the place where His throne is, the starry heavens, and the "birds of the heavens". Now, we know Peter ain't talking about the starry heavens passing away, nor could he possibly be talking about God's heavenly courts...which leaves only...

    Make no mistake, God's Word isn't Jesuit, and Jesuit "Left Behind" Futurism isn't God's Word. Noah came out of the Ark to a breathable atmosphere and a planet with potable water and nutrient dense earth for growing food. Are you seriously going to argue that what is depicted in 2 Peter chapter...

    Only 2 Comings by Lord Jesus, Not 3

    I can't subscribe to any interpretation of Scripture, ESPECIALLY JESUIT INTERPRETATIONS, which don't account for the period of destruction and uninhabited Earth. The only one that accounts for it is the one I presented, which is fully substantiated by Scripture and does not require that we...

    Only 2 Comings by Lord Jesus, Not 3

    Preterism claims all prophecies have been fulfilled...it there any evidence to show that at some point in the past Jesus shook the Earth and set everything on fire and destroyed the wicked at the brightness of His coming and resurrected millions of faithful dead saints and levitated them and the...

    Sorry, for the delay but 2020 has been crazy and 2021 is turning out to be a close second LOL. Your idea is very similiar to Jesuit Futurism in that Jesuit Futurism does not account for some extremely important prophecies by John, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Jesus, Peter, etc: Did you not read in the...

    Only 2 Comings by Lord Jesus, Not 3

    You are correct, there are only two Advents: the first 2,000 years ago, and the 2nd when He comes to collect the dead and living saints to meet Him in the air. But, technically, there is a "third" coming - after the 1,000 years when He returns with the saints in New Jerusalem to raise the wicked...

    Is the Third Temple Physical or Spiritual?

    Let's think about it: If in a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem OT ceremonies would resume practice and OT sacrifices would resume being offered - ceremonies and sacrifices which pointed to One True Lamb of God Jesus Christ The Messiah - would not these ceremonies and sacrifices in the sight of God be...
