    This Makes More Sense To Me Now

    consider this sbg, 144000 = 12000x120000...ie, all Israel ...a metaphor for God's people. It's the same crowd that are standing on the sea of glass. Rev. 15:2 – “I also saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had won the victory over the beast, his image, and the...

    Is the holy spirit a living being Equal to God?

    Is the holy spirit a living being Equal to God? God is Spirit so how can he not be?

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    Interesting selection of words Paul uses, ie 'in him, by him, through him'..... it tells a story.....can we hear it?

    Nightmare scenario

    Do you really think that quoting a volume of scripture makes the matter right Keraz? There are plenty here who quote scripture by the bucket load and yet are 'off with the fairies' so to speak. What's more, you know that! Why would you even employ that tactic as if it carries indisputable...

    Nightmare scenario

    I wonder about those folk who show up at a certain time and say 'Lord lord, we did all these wonderful works in your name' and Jesus tells them he never knew them. How does that work? ....they did wonderful works in his name; they must have believed in him according to your rationale. No doubt...

    The Impassable Great Gulf in Hell: No legs to walk with

    hmmmm, mortal soul theologist hey! hmmm, I suppose so according to Genesis 3:19 'In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for dust you are, and to dust you shall return.” In regard to the rejection of scripture, well, Ive just...

    Nightmare scenario

    further.... interpreting prophecy like one who reads a crystal ball or tarot cards about the future not only misses the point but creates a false God under the guise of it being a sanctioned practice. As Paul says in Corinthians 13, one can know all the prophecies and be as sounding brass and...

    Nightmare scenario

    The middle east territory of ancient Israel has no special status as 'the holy land'. It is anything but holy and frankly has never been. According to Revelation 20, the Millenium is a period where the earth is desolate where its only inhabitants are satan and his angels. He is bound by...

    The Impassable Great Gulf in Hell: No legs to walk with

    Wake up Robert! The story Jesus told of Lazarus and the rich man is for the purpose of making a point which he makes at the end of the story. It is not designed to create a theology of any sorts. You no doubt know the story of 'The boy who cried Wolf'? Its purpose is not the details of the...

    Nightmare scenario

    Your view is far far too limited Keraz. You interpret the scriptures as if Jesus was a side show in the cosmic drama played out here on Earth. Consider the vision Daniel interpreted for Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 2:31-45. The great image of the metal man....particularly the stone which struck the...

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..." The spirit of God brooded over the waters before the creation of the world. When all is established God said let us make man in our image. Us and our are plural. Then we read the above quoted scripture which...

    Let's Get Small...

    “By the sweat of your face You will eat bread Until you return to the ground, For from it youwere taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return.” Genesis 3:19 It makes it all the more gob smacking that the eternal God should condescend, become one of us so we can see the beauty of his...

    Nightmare scenario

    I think you are putting words in Paul's mouth to suit your theology amigo. There's a huge difference between the consequence of rebellion and arbitrary punishment. Romans 1 is clear re this. The wrath of God mentioned in vs 17-18 is qualified in vs 24-26. It tells us re wicked men 'he gave them...

    Let 'Us' Make Man in 'Our' Image

    I've been thinking about my earlier post #16 and I would like to add that not only is the ability to see what is truthful hamstrung but the ability and willingness to believe a lie is reinforced and accelerated. I'm reminded of these words of Jesus.... Matthew 6:22-23 22“The lamp of the body...

    Let 'Us' Make Man in 'Our' Image

    I think evidence is for the believing or at least those willing to see. Those who are unwilling can be plastered with evidence yet still they will not see. Here are a few examples..... 1...Flat earthers insist the earth is not a globe. 2...The Jewish leaders knew who Jesus was yet it didn't...

    Real believers don't want to talk nor hear anything negative about sinning

    hmmmmm, an interesting observation! No doubt you assume it applies to others but not to yourself!

    Our Part in Producing Fruit of the Spirit

    Robert, my question to you is not childish in the least. I address it to you because your posts are full of blaming others yet you speak of the fruits of the Spirit. Here you attempt to do the same by the accusation of me being in the bond of wickedness and rejecting the truth. Wake up Man...
