    I'm a non-Christian, where can I post?

    KJV Matthew 24:24 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

    Sins of the Flesh not Important

    I was once asked by a forum moderator, not this forum, “Do you believe that ‘the man of sin’ is an actual person or just figurative of a type of people?” The above is an interesting question. There is much debate over whether the Antichrist is an individual, as it is propagated in futurist...

    Sins of the Flesh not Important

    Have you ever considered that the "falling away" referred to the establishment of the Papacy beginning in the 4th century, which revealed the true Antichrist, the one sitting in the temple of God, the church, proclaiming himself to be God by taking upon Himself the prerogatives of God in...

    Sins of the Flesh not Important

    Catholicism does not believe in the blood Atonement. They believe the merits of Christ's life, not death, is their Salvation. And they add to that the merits of Mary, Joseph (not so much, less meritorious I suppose), and thousands of saints. All those merits deposited into the Vatican bank and...

    Never mind. One day you'll get it.

    I'm a non-Christian, where can I post?

    I agree with the first part... Through studying scriptures from a child, His Father revealed to Him Who He was. Jesus did indeed discover Himself and His identity through the OT. But you are missing the fact that after His resurrection, He demonstrated the model by which we are to discover...

    I'm a non-Christian, where can I post?

    You have thrown out the entire old testament of scripture, and much of the new, so I'm not going to bother explaining my premise...there is a thread elsewhere discussing it. Thing is this. You have thrown aside that which Jesus Himself said was the authority and foundation of His ministry, that...

    What are you eating?

    I love the vegetable tempura pancakes you can get from the sushi shops. I could eat 2 or 3 every day.

    A history of failed prophecies

    I began my interest in prophecy in the latish 70s after reading Hal Lindsay's book, The Late Great Planet Earth, and a few others that generally agreed with that futurist viewpoint, and totally believed that Jesus would return n my lifetime. Possibly, I thought at the time as did Lindsay, before...

    The Son of God, who came and showed the world the true character of God, gave His own life for all men. He didn't die to redeem sparrows or grass grubs.

    I'm a non-Christian, where can I post?

    That sounds as similarly ridiculous as claiming Antiochus Epiphanes as the Antichrist when his own father was designated by historians as "Great". Epiphanes was thoroughly unforgettable if not for the over-the-top rave reviews from the preterist fan club. The 'great tribulation' surely must...

    A history of failed prophecies

    I don't believe that judgment is at the end of the millennium, which begins at the second coming. When Jesus comes, His reward is with Him to give to every man according to his works. Revelation 22:12. In order for Jesus to accurately direct His angels to gather His saints from the 4 corners of...

    Sins of the Flesh not Important

    So says the Pope. Growing up as a child in that church I was inundated with warnings and threats aimed at dissuading me from committing such heinous acts against myself and my fellow man...or woman. Now, he of whom it is said cannot lie when it comes to spiritual matters, informs us all that...

    What are you eating?

    How many of you have considered that there may be a relationship between the prevalent love affair Americans have with foods not mentioned in the Maker's Handbook, and the statistics of those dying as a result of Covid reacting with all the variety of underlying disease that are the direct...

    A history of failed prophecies

    None of us know now whether we are a sheep or a goat? How totally hypocritical it must have been for the apostles of the first century to encourage people to convert to Christianity, ensuring a likely difficult life of destitution and an early and violent death, but without knowing whether what...

    A history of failed prophecies

    No. Not about dates, but they were right about the time. When Jesus came the first time He announced His arrival KJV Mark 1:15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. At the time of the end, a similar message is to be preached...

    A history of failed prophecies

    I don't believe the second coming id imminent because of future prophecy, but because of how prophecy has already been fulfilled in the past, particularly the last 200 years. You are right @GaryAnderson , the last 2 centuries have seen a dramatic rise in the number of people claiming that Jesus...
