Does this mean we also have a bunch of different Gods? Jehovah - The Lord - Exodus 6:2-3 Jehovah-Adon Kal Ha'arets- Lord of Earth - Josh 3:13 Jehovah-Bara - Lord Creator - Isaiah 40:28 Jehovah-Chatsahi - Lord my Strength - Psalm 27:1 Jehovah-Chereb - Lord the Sword - Deut. 33:29...

How shamefully embarrassing to be duped into thinking Jesus was suggesting cannibalism. Did you ever stop to think that if they argued with one another about this, then some of them obviously understood He was not talking about eating flesh and drinking blood. Those who actually thought he was...

So, basically, as St. Augustine, said: "Love the Lord, and do as you will, because in doing so you will be doing the will of the Lord."

That should probably be more appropriately read in English.... "Since you love YHWH, you will be doing His desires."

Seriously, how does that work? How do you "watch?" I mean, are you a saved Christian on Monday, but you might not be on Tuesday if you aren't as "watchful" as you were on Monday? Do you then "watch" a little harder so you will be saved again by Wednesday? What if your attention is distracted...

Right on, Nomad! You rock, Bro.

Well, I am just trying to say that Jesus never intended us to be "Preppers." And that seems to be the attitude of many in their "watching." It is so silly with some people that I have actually asked if they have a suitcase packed and by the door so they won't miss Jesus.

The word "watch” in Matthew 24:42 and 25:13 is gregoreo. This word literally means "be awake.” It implies being alert as opposed to being asleep. Being awake signifies active spiritual service, whereas being asleep indicates moral laxity and spiritual dereliction (1 Thess. 5:6-7). In 1...

And where it gets interesting is when we note that all these same "signs" we swear as finally happening in (it just so happens) our very own century, were the same "signs" that began happening to those people standing there in the hot sun, listening to His voice 2,000 years ago.... AND that have...

Neither had I until about 6 years ago, when I decided it was high time to see if there was more to the Bible than I had been told I was to believe.

Gladly. Some suggest, and I tend to agree, that Isaiah 19:18 symbolically implies a five-to-one ratio for Christians over non-Christians at the height of the millennial glory: "In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear by the LORD of hosts; one...

I am a big believer that if an issue has, say, nine points (for instance), then each of those points should be addressed separately, in turn. And, that we should not move on to a pending point if all the previous ones have not been, more or less, settled, agreed upon, and laid to rest.

The Diaglott is where Hollywood got the inspiration for the speech pattern Yoda employed in Star Wars. ( Matthew 4:3 And coming to him the temper, said: "If a son thou be of the God, speak, that the stones these loaves may become." )

Actually most of the time spent on composing long, tedious posts is almost totally wasted. It is stated here, time and time again, that hardly anyone ever reads them. And, if they do, most are so poorly written that they are usually just skimmed over... and nothing substantial is conveyed by...

Then, though it may take a bit of effort.... spend two or three more minutes on a SHORT (Brevity is a very important point when writing on a forum.) post to make what you are saying clear. Especially when you quote or address one specific person, then say you are, instead, talking to someone...

Harvest 1874, Where are you getting these strange notions that I think all men will be saved? Did you miss the ratio I posted? I said I think (because the Bible indicates it) that there will be about 5 Christians to 1 Unbeliever when Jesus returns.

The simple reason that I quoted your comment about "the verse that says it all" is because just posting a verse that perhaps I (or you... or another poster) feels explains all there is to know about a certain topic... actually does nothing to show WHAT it is I (or you... or another poster) feels...

Now you're just starting to talk kind of crazy, Harvest 1874 .

Where did you get all those crazy ideas from that I believe those things? Frankly, all that fluster you just posted made hardly any sense, at all. (It took me three reads, and I am still not sure what the heck you said.)
