    Are You For or Against The Death Penalty?

    hmmmmm, I wonder whether anyone is against the consequences resulting from getting hit by a moving Mack truck if you walk out in front of it on a freeway?

    Romans Chapter 11

    hmmmmm, I tend to take those reports with a grain of salt.

    Could this be a prelude to prophesy?

    Revelation opens with a Prologue. Ch.1 v3 tells us ' blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things that are written in it; for the time is near' Now, I don't want to be telling you what you might already know but as I read this, this stands...

    Could this be a prelude to prophesy?

    We are dealing with metaphors/symbols/types when reading prophecy of this nature. Consider the parables of Jesus...'a sower went to sow seed.....' he later explains his story/symbol.....and we understand. It would be a misplaced understanding to take the story literally. The same principle...

    Romans Chapter 11

    Joining the dots in the order intended is our ongoing challenge. Understanding intent is critical when it comes to interpreting symbolism. Let's say we take the word 'beheaded'; I ask myself, does this mean guillotines will be set up or swords put back in use?....hmmmmm, I think rather than...

    Romans Chapter 11

    yes...considering the context, it being that since the resurrection God's people are with Jesus in Heaven. It now appears they (the saints) with the city have descended to the Earth. With the raised wicked, Satan is released from his prison of isolation; he now has subjects again and persuades...

    Romans Chapter 11

    The topic of Israel (Romans 11) cannot help but have eschatological implications. That's how it relates.

    Romans Chapter 11

    It relates to your eschatology. My guess is you read the prophetic writings chronologically when they are not written to be read chronologically. Do you understand or no?

    Romans Chapter 11

    When Jesus returns Enoch, that will be 'the end of the world' so to speak. All his people from all ages (the saints) from Adam through to the present that have died in hope will be resurrected ....together with the living believers they will be changed from corruptible to incorruptible, from...

    Romans Chapter 11

    Emphasis on national Israel is a misplaced emphasis. It has one looking at earthly things.

    Romans Chapter 11

    I know my posts are a bit cryptic. This is what is unfolding as I snatch snippets of time to read and type today....3 loads of washing....hung out and gathered after drying. Prep and paint a bed...undercoat & top coat.....waiting for the reassembly hopefully tonight otherwise I sleep on the...

    Romans Chapter 11

    Your conclusion is drawn from a flawed prophetic time interpretation CL. It results in marking secular events. This is not the case with the day for a year prophetic understanding. The battle is cosmic. It's centre the God Man on Earth with the ongoing struggle and history transferred to God's...

    Romans Chapter 11

    Revelation tells the same story several times using different imagery. To read Revelation as a continual unfolding of different events has given birth to the bizarre and varied interpretations that exist. This happens because the prophetic principle....that, primarily of time, is violated.

    Romans Chapter 11

    you are arguing a technicality to circumvent the prophetic principle..... it doesn't wash.

    Romans Chapter 11

    Creation was 6 days and one of rest ie, 7 days. Creation was not Prophetic.

    Romans Chapter 11

    there are two resurrections. The first is for the righteous when Jesus returns, the second for the wicked after the millennium.
