    Romans Chapter 11

    A day in prophecy represents a year in real time. That principle is sound. I know Adventists use this principle. It is correct.

    Romans Chapter 11

    God's people...the fruit of the Gospel message.

    Romans Chapter 11

    The account in Acts 1:9-11 tells the story. 'This same Jesus who was taken up from you into Heaven will come in like manner as you have seen him go into heaven.....check the record!...he was taken and a cloud received him out of their sight. Be it literal or be it a cloud of angels the account...

    Romans Chapter 11

    This is Prophetic. Prophetic language is in symbolism. The woman my dear represents God's people. The 3.5 years is also symbolism. This symbolism is repeated in various forms all representing the same period/time frame....ie, 42 mths...1260 days..... easy to figure out.....30 days per month, how...

    Romans Chapter 11

    From the outset the word 'rapture' does not occur in the scriptures. It is a term used in certain sections of the Christian community which they apply to the return of Jesus.....however, they qualify it by a 'secret' event which can happen at any time the which involves the mass disappearance of...

    Romans Chapter 11

    One could look at it like this; ....from God's perspective he has always been Israels God yet from the perspective of Israel, God has not always been their God.....in spite of their lip service.....this is revealed in the language 'I have reserved for myself 7000 who have not bowed the knee to...

    PETER AND PAUL PREACHED CHRIST DIFFERENTLY

    Personally I don't think Paul struggled with Law issues once his eyes were opened. He saw the issues very clearly. Peter also saw them clearly although he did succumb to cowardice which Paul called him on....to which he came clean. Law issues are always struggled with when the shutters have not...

    PETER AND PAUL PREACHED CHRIST DIFFERENTLY

    The greater 'Christian' movement has created confusion between Law and Gospel. A spin has been applied which distorts ones understanding of the Old Testament and misrepresents the New. It results in a Laodicean Church the message to which is clear.....lift your game!

    PETER AND PAUL PREACHED CHRIST DIFFERENTLY

    I am not persuaded that these men (Peter and Paul) had different messages. Peter was a fisherman, Paul was an academic. The very nature of their backgrounds will give each man its own 'flavour' in presenting the Gospel for which they died. The inspiration and Spirit with which both these men...

    very confused

    If the work you want to do is not accepted and the matter will not be resolved, go elsewhere.

    Is Obedience a Condition of Salvation?

    Is Obedience a Condition of Salvation? This is no mystery.....we are subjects of the one we obey. The paradox:- Satan while in process of suicide wants to live forever. As I see it, God's government operates on the basis of cause and effect.....you eat, you die. There are countless examples...

    Who are the beasts of Revelation ch 13? See inside -->>

    lol....one thing is certain considering all the different approaches and that is if the paradigm is faulty one will not recognise the unfolding events that matter. The Jews in their pride and self sufficiency missed the primary event of all the scripture. Personally, I'm persuaded they knew who...

    Aussie and Kiwi politics and events

    I think the final result of sin and all who pay it allegiance will be to self destruct.....sinners will turn against sinners and themselves.....the consequence of pushing away life.....an example might be Hitler or Judas. Consider the last scene where the wicked dead are raised and surround the...

    Aussie and Kiwi politics and events

    I've been thinking about the whole 'have to' bit. There are some laws that are needed to this end like driving on a certain side of the road. Other laws however lean towards forcing a persons hand. Force is never an option that God employs. If it were, getting rid of Satan right at the outset...

    I see very few media outlets globally with independence. Most seem to trot out the same old yada yada and I don't think this is coincidental.

    Should Christians play video games?

    Now competition is something I've thought about over the years. Its essence as far as I can determine is being better than the other.......such an insidious and ingrained tendency. It flies in the face of humility.....it fly's in the face of service to and for the other......to lift the other...

    Who Are The Sons OF God?

    perhaps they were all beautiful.....after all, it's the confusion and breakdown of man that has resulted in all that is ugly.
