I love how Paul worded it: 2 Corinthians 4:8-10 King James Version 8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that...

Well I have two years of Christian psych training, but this is above my pay grade.

So then you believe when then allegorical 1,000 years is done and Satan is loosed from the abyss- he goes to heaven, deceives heavenly believers and makes war in heaven then. OK! 7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8 And shall go out to deceive...

A very very fair summary. I don't know why you find the fact I am still learning after 47 years confusing? Everything I believe, I believe because I am convinced that is what Scripture teaches. Can I be wrong in areas? Of course! No one will be doctrinally perfect until we get home. I enjoy...

Well I believe the biblical pre trib rapture true, Dallas theological just agrees with SCripture. Fact is it is found in Scripture, both implicitly and explicitly. as I have posted the Scriptures to show so. Once again teh last day resurrection is for lost people only. Rev. 20 shows 2...

Well I do not accept dual covenant theology. I accept what Scripture teaches concerning the church and the church age. Any Jew saved in the3 church age is part of teh church. those saved outside of the church age are not part of the church as Jesus said in Matt. Never lived in Texas. Pre...

Fact is, the bible clearly shows an earthly kingdom and Revelation gives its duration! Most of the kingdom prophecies are the physical kingdom and not the eternal order, that is a heresy brought in by Augustine. Well Scripture shows we will be gone before the 70 th week of Daniel. but I will...

Just remember we still live in bodies of sin and death and "things" affect our emotions. every 28 days many women are very unhappy because of a physical issue. they can still be joyful though miserable. that sounds like a contradiction of terms but is not. If I spend a sleepless night, the...

You are equating happiness with Joy as is a common mistake. but they are two different things that come from differing sources.

Go without sleep for 3 days and see if happiness and joy are the same- you will learn they are not! Joy comes from knowing God- happiness is when things go along with your worldview in an area! I spent 8 days in th ehospital for my heart. I was not happy! I couldn't sleep, I was...

Well if yo do not believe you are right in what you believe- why believe it? I can be wrong and haveen wrong in the last 47 years, and even defended my position of wrong until I was shown from Scripture I was wrong. In action is never the callfor a follower of jesus. As He said, if you do...

My journey was one of looking at many books and concepts in Christianity. I am compelled to know the truth. I am not perfect and after 47 years I have changed views many times as a better biblical argument was made from what I held. Thanks to the Lord I have studied to show myself approved...

Well they have their freedom of speech as do I! they can present a heresy through ignorance or immaturity, and it is up to the mature as is commanded in Galatians to show them why they are wrong. I personally abhor reporting people. I prefer to discuss, even intensely and a little heatedly to...

We asre done. You strain at gnats to swallow camels. Jesus is mentioned in John 1. the bible defines who the Word is and if you cannot accept this- there is no further point trying to have an intelligent conversation with you. bye! Have the last word if you wish.

Once again, adelphos was chosen by the Septuagint authors to represent ach because there was no word they knew of. Going from one language to another does not always mean a perfect transition. You are so hung up on adelphos used in some Septuagint verses and then demand it is used that way in...

as for the inaccuracies, I will address that later. I have appts. today and my strength is still just coming back from heart valve replacement surgery. Currently Jesus is high priest. Although He holds the offices of Prophet, Priest and King, He does not hold them simultaneously but...

It was many many years ago so memories are a little fuzzy. I was a new Christian and wanting to learn about everything in Scripture. I grew up Catholic so I was already predisposed to an allegorical understanding of Scripture that this book offered. I knew nothing about theologies and various...

Biblical joy transcends emotion. I can be miserable in my emotions but still filled with joy. Paul was not happy when whipped, but filled with joy nonetheless.

Well it is what the Lord commands us to proceed with those who oppose themselves.

I will trade happiness for my 6 kids with the joy of the Lord everyday! Happiness is an emotion (and of course I wan t my kids to be happy) but joy comes from character in the Lord and is far deeper than just happiness. Once again happiness depends on things going right while Joy is not...
