    Rewire Your Heart Day #10

    The biggest difference between the relationships in the old and New TEstament is in the New we have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit as an eternal pledge, while in the Old they only had the ondwelling presence of the Spirit. That is why David prayed in Psalm 51, take not your Holy Spirit from...

    Literal Isreal In End-Times Prophecy

    Well it is more than a simple and, but as a general rule- when you see "and" (Kai) introing a new verse it is a sequential thought or action in the vision, unless modified by the verb.

    Literal Isreal In End-Times Prophecy

    So you believe REvelation 11 occurs after the events of Revelation 12-18 and that Revelation 19 describes His return? 11:17 the reign is aorist indicative which is almost always renedered in the past, so this refers to God the Fsather reigning. 11:18 Wrath refers to the 2nd half of the trib...

    John 1:1 looked at HONESTLY!

    Well using your definition I would describe the trinity as "distinct" to distinguish one from another, separate for they occupy different "entities" (for lack of a better word, and "One" for they share the exact same essence- absolute deity! That is why the coined word trinity is very apt. a...

    John 1:1 looked at HONESTLY!

    And that is a difference without distinction. They are both the exact same word, pronounced the exact same way, but the construct varies slightly to let us know if it a personal noun or adjctive describing a personal noun. The Father also has θεῖος used o Him in the NT. And John 1:1 θεος is...

    John 1:1 looked at HONESTLY!

    Sense and knowledge mean nothing on a human level. Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. We cannot and should never relate to and with God on the basis of knowledge and whether it makes sense to us or not! We relate to God as...

    John 1:1 looked at HONESTLY!

    Well then define for me how you view "separate" and "distinct". for I can and do use them interchangeably. The Father is distinct or separate form the son and Spirit in that the Father is not the Son nor the Spirit. But they all share one absolute Deity. That is why Peter could say that lying...

    John 1:1 looked at HONESTLY!

    maybe in english "divine" means god-like" but in Greek and Hebrew it means GOD. God is a term that has two uses. JOhn 1:1 shows those two uses perfectly. The Word was with the god (the the is there in the original) which refers to a specific person, then the Word was God which refers to nature...

    is doing sexual things with a boyfriend/girlfriend sin...

    but you don't know that at the time. Having sexual intercourse is the biblical definition of marriage! Paul says that lying with a prostitute makes a person one with her and that is what God says man and wife do in Genesis.

    Literal Isreal In End-Times Prophecy

    Our kingdom is the eternal kingdom. right now we live in its spiritual benefits. And yes it is Jesus kingdom. but that isd the eternal kingdom and not the one that lasts for 1,000 years on earth. If you think that Jesus begins His physical reign in REv. 11:15, your concept of Jesus ruling...

    AD already fulfilled?

    I agree that that small portion of the Olivet discourse has been fulfilled. But the abomination of desolation has not yet been fulfilled, nor the prophecy of the ten kings/horns.

    John 1:1 looked at HONESTLY!

    Doesn't matter what translators did or did not do- Elohim and Adonai are plural nbouns in Hebrew like it or not. that is just simple fact. Genesis 1 makes it pretty clear when Elohim (plural) said "Let us (elohim) make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness! KJV footnotes that Yahweh is...

    John 1:1 looked at HONESTLY!

    I agree with what you say here 100%. I think you are making too much of a big deal over the terms "distinct" and "separate" The Father is not the Son who is not the Spirit but they are all equally God! YOu call them distinct persons, I call them separate because they are separate individuals...

    John 1:1 looked at HONESTLY!

    Let me put it another way. The Father is divine, the son is divine, the holy spirit is divine- they all share the exact same divinity. they are not three seperate Gods with separate divinities like the old pagan triads. The Apostle John under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit said Jesus is...

    John 1:1 looked at HONESTLY!

    So Jesus is declared god in the bible and the Apostle John declared him equal with God. Jesus is called Yahweh, The Father and the Son are both called the first and last. So is it your contention when Yahweh (Jesus is called that) was on earth, heaven was void of God?

    John 1:1 looked at HONESTLY!

    Well making allegations is easy, but actually provisding proof of yoru allegations requires integrity of purpose. So I await you rebutting my "warped view of Hebrew". I also await your evidence that the KJV is a twisted translation. but if it will make you more comfortable, there are about 35...

    No problem, with all the threads we write on, it is easy to lose track of whom we are discussing with.
