    We’re the two witnesses from the past?

    :)....how else would you kill children....are there options? Don't you find the language peculiar?....firstly, Jesus killing children and then the strange way of putting it. In its context could it be saying other than what you imagine it is saying? Oh, and the money changers in the temple...

    We’re the two witnesses from the past?

    We interpret everything ewq....even the language we speak is a collection of sounds which needs and gets interpreted by our brain in order to make sense of them. That which is unfamiliar does not compute. I think you would understand that? I have come to know Jesus; he is not violent. He...

    False Teaching: Mary died a virgin. Biblical Proof Mary had children.

    ...Mary died a virgin. ... virgin' on the ridiculous!

    The (potential) Treachery of Doctrine > My way, or the highway >

    Wheat and tares grow together. Some are obvious, others not. Logic does not make me fall in love, there is another factor. It is falling in love which is God's objective. Being in love shifts everything......everyyyyyything! Let those who talk about love live in their own skin.....and those who...

    We’re the two witnesses from the past?

    A Lamb coming to kill? Jesus tells us it is the Devil who comes to steal, kill and destroy; that's his objective. Jesus has come to give life. Jesus is not a killer.... of anyone. 'while we were yet sinners, Christ died for the ungodly' .....has it been forgotten? Has Satan convincingly...

    We’re the two witnesses from the past?

    You are locked into the literal and will defend it because you don't understand the issues which Revelation is addressing are cosmic with a mirroring here on earth spanning time and principle. Jesus and his reality are the central figures in those issues....and that's more than a mouthful in...

    Old Testament Morality

    You make valid points. The way I understand it is that God was regarded by Moses as an uber Pharaoh. The people had come out of 400yrs of slavery. The only rule they knew and logic they were familiar with was, do what the boss says or die. The principle of forgiveness was just not on the horizon...

    There is too much negativity. Let us come together for a moment to share why each of us is grateful to God!

    I'm grateful I can recognise immaturity and that I can keep my mouth shut. o_O

    Is it literal? ...You interpret these as literal but if they are not, and I'm suggesting they are not, then all the barking is misplaced.

    We’re the two witnesses from the past?

    You draw the conclusions you have because of a misunderstanding of the symbolism given. Of course if you don't identify its symbolism you are left to your imagination as to what it might all mean. The key is Jesus and knowing him.....ie, understanding these prophecies through a knowing of his...

    We’re the two witnesses from the past?

    The Lamb is coming to rescue his people. What is God's wrath? The wicked think its arbitrary punishment but in fact it is exposure to themselves; exposure of what they have so long denied. Paul tells us in Romans 1 what Gods wrath is. It is giving them over to the consequences of their...

    :) Your words sound so sure of themselves yet they only reinforce my statement which you clearly do not see. .....Anyway, you are free to see it anyway you prefer

    The potential conceit of doctrinal individuality

    with respect, but does that reflect something happening on the inside?

    T77....if you had a genuine interest we could talk about these things, however, knowing that your objective is to reinforce your own predetermined view, I have no interest in throwing my pearls. :)

    What gets in the way of your quiet time with God?

    Worshipping God in spirit and truth; these are the ones the Father seeks.....Jesus.

    We’re the two witnesses from the past?

    The context (Rev.6:12-17) determines the times this is applicable to....and from what I can tell it's referring to the return of Jesus in the clouds. A parallel scripture might be Matthew 24:30 'Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will...

    We’re the two witnesses from the past?

    All these are symbolic. The thing is, when one is locked into a paradigm which doesn't recognise it, it wont be recognised......even can't be. We could use the history and experience of the religious Jews as an example. Their view was such that even in the face of Jesus raising the dead and...

    Unity of the faith - at what cost?

    It's another trip which has nothing to do with knowing Jesus. It masquerades as sincerity which exposes itself when whatever text is offered is discounted and other scriptures weaponised.
