    The Truth of Genesis

    What I see is that pandemics are prophesied as being an indication that we are in the last days. They, along with wars between nations, and earthquakes are an essential part of the territory, and no amount of prayer, or "taking authority" will stop these things from happening and taking their...

    The False Doctrine of a 7-year Tribulation

    I have no real argument about what you have said, because we are still in the church age, which is a transitional period and we don't know how long it will take until the next prophetic event will take place. I do have a question about your last comment about the new Temple. All I can see in...

    Question on Jesus' Ministry timing

    That, I can agree with. There will be a remnant of Israel who have fled into the wilderness and been protected by the Holy Spirit and when Jesus returns to the Mount of Olives, they will return, see Him in person and believe on Him, be saved, and become part of the company of the saved along...

    THE AGE OF MAN IS OVER ONE MILLION YEARS

    We need to understand how Jewish genealogy works. Some experts in Jewish genealogy have said that the names of people stand more for generational groups than for individuals. So, in the case of Adam being the patriarch of a generational group, we don't know how long that generational group...

    Are Protestants "saved? "

    I am NOT a snob, and I DON'T look down on the unemployed when I am in the shower!!!!

    Are Protestants "saved? "

    I've learned not to get egg on my face by trying to discern someone without having the full facts! :D

    Question on Jesus' Ministry timing

    So the Jewish nation will be revived in two days, and be raised up on the third day? How is that going to happen? There was only one Person who was raised up on the third day, and that was Jesus. How can one half of a reference be talking about one thing and the second half of the same...

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    I agree that using the word "soul" to describe an animal is a bit of a stretch of the Scripture. When an airline says that an aircraft has 150 souls on board, they are not including the pets in cages in the baggage area. It's just like saying that New Zealand had around 5 million people and 20...

    Why do the self taught preach an incomplete gospel?

    It depends on your definition of "believe". There is a difference between mental assent involving lip-service to a person, and putting complete trust in the person resulting in appropriate action. You have repeated the need to live a life of surrender, but I have yet to see what you mean by...

    Question on Jesus' Ministry timing

    All you are doing is taking one phrase out of the total context and making it mean something other than what the context indicates. Your contention indicates that you have a limited understanding of the extent of the consequences between Jesus and the Father when Jesus became sin for us as He...

    Why do the self taught preach an incomplete gospel?

    It's connected with the fraudulent Mass where Christ's body is eaten by the priest, people bow down and worship the wafer, and Christ is crucified and sacrificed again each time the Mass is performed. Also, when a person goes to confession, the priest gives absolution (which he has no authority...

    The False Doctrine of a 7-year Tribulation

    Seeing that our friend has gone to great lengths in his posts, perhaps you could provide the Scriptural references that support your opposition to it.

    The False Doctrine of a 7-year Tribulation

    You have certainly gone into this quite deeply, and I have enjoyed reading your post.

    Question on Jesus' Ministry timing

    This is true. It is a fact that the large proportion of Jews living in present day Israel are secular, "nominal" Jews, along with Christians and Arabs; and the orthodox Jews are a relative minority. So, the merger of state and religion is not as pronounced as it was in First Century Judea...

    IS ALL SIN FORGIVEN ?

    Seeing that God exists outside of time and sees the past, present and future all at once, then when Jesus died on the cross, He took the penalty for all the sin that God could see - past, present and future. So that when we received Christ as Saviour, all our sin was placed under the blood of...

    The Truth of Genesis

    Actually, archaeological evidence shows that people migrated to the Americas 20,000 years ago. That puts the cat among the pigeons for those who put a strict 6,000 year time frame on the history of mankind.

    Question on Jesus' Ministry timing

    But there is no mention of repentance in the reference you have provided. The reference is consistent with the Isaiah prophecy about the Messiah being smitten of God and bruised for our iniquities. To be honest, I would say that the reference refers more consistently with Messianic prophecy...

    The False Doctrine of a 7-year Tribulation

    You didn't mention which calendar was used for the calculations. The Jewish calendar was different to our Gregorian calendar. This may make a difference. If the Jewish calendar was used, the calculations would be more accurate and consistent with the Biblical record. However you may know...
