Listen, I understand why so many people feel frustrated today. A lot of folks who grew up in the 50s and 60s remember a world that felt simpler, safer, and more familiar. But time moves forward, and the world changes — sometimes in ways we don’t like or understand. “The form of this world is...

So here is my list of beliefs in summary, considering I believe that Revelation was completed and already happened: You believe that the new heaven and new earth described in Scripture are not a future physical planet but the spiritual reality God established through Christ, a reality we live...

It was always so difficult for me to ever understand this passage until the spirit of Christ helped me understand it. It tore me apart.

Your core idea is right: Jesus is explaining that the Old Covenant system cannot contain the New Covenant reality. Matthew 9:15–17 isn’t random. It’s a three‑part progression: 1. The Bridegroom is present Jesus is signaling that the long‑awaited covenant moment has arrived. The “children of...

THE VALUE OF THE SOUL — A TEACHING 1. The Soul: God‑Given From the Beginning Scripture tells us that humanity began with a direct act of God: Genesis 2:7 “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”...

1. Jesus promised a real, visible return — “in like manner” (Acts 1:11) The angels told the disciples: They saw Him bodily, visibly, ascending. So the promise is not spiritualized — it matches what they witnessed. This is why you hold that His return was real, not symbolic, and directed to the...

In Matthew 24–25, Jesus is speaking about the end of the age and His coming in judgment, not the end of the physical world. He’s addressing His disciples privately on the Mount of Olives, explaining what would happen before the close of their generation. The “end of the age” He refers to is the...

Still useful for people today:

I see God as a plurality in the sense that His nature contains both what we call masculine and feminine qualities. Scripture says, “God created man in His own image… male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27). That means both reflect something true about who He is. From the beginning, the...

Prodeo here is another interesting tidbit, If John wrote Revelation in the 90s AD, after Jerusalem was destroyed, it’s strange that he never warns believers not to repeat the mistakes of their brothers. The destruction of the Temple was the most traumatic event in Jewish‑Christian history, yet...

Let me respond to your points in a clearer way. What’s actually “new” in Revelation isn’t a new physical planet or a new political era. It’s the new heaven and new earth where righteousness dwells — the life of the Spirit in those who seek relationship with the Lord. That’s the covenant reality...

A lot of people today genuinely believe their loved ones are already with God in heaven. Even though different traditions teach different things — some talk about hell, some talk about waiting, some talk about the kingdom — that’s not really the point when someone is grieving. For example, my...

Aren’t you glad to be called a son or daughter of God through faith in the Lord Jesus? Scripture says, “You are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:26). That’s a promise that never fades. Aren’t you thankful to be part of a spiritual kingdom — one that is heavenly in...

Many believers place their hope in the future return of Jesus, and I respect that. For me personally, I simply acknowledge that one day I will die, and when that time comes, I will go on to meet Him. That reality doesn’t trouble me. I don’t have an issue with people holding different views...

I will no longer respond to Shepherdsword.

If you guys think I am telling you that you aren't able to have a relationship with God and live by the spirit of the resurrected Lord Yeshua by abiding in him, and you can be sons and daughters of God through faith and the promises which still are here today for us just not the bride of christ...

Anchorite, I think we’re talking past each other a bit. I’m not saying later believers lose anything or that the New Testament doesn’t apply to us. I’m simply saying the covenant role of the Bride in the New Testament was tied to the first‑century believers who were personally taught and...

When Paul wrote 2 Thessalonians 2:1–3, he was speaking directly to the first‑century believers who were expecting “the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him.” These were real people in Thessalonica — the same ones he addressed in the opening of the letter — who were...

Shepherd, I think at this point it might be best if we just agree to disagree. It feels like every time I share something, you jump right back in with the same points you already made, and it comes across a bit like you’re following me around the thread. I’m sure that’s not your intention, but...
