    Christ has already returned ?

    What’s zach 14 about? Thank you for sharing that with me. It’s understandable the dissatisfaction of the author ; how did that not also deter you from continuing on looking to God in spite of human failure?

    Attempted beheading in Belfast, Ireland

    People make choices. It’s nothing new. There are over hundreds of videos on YouTube. Concerning people who murder random people. Murder their family. Abuse of family. Child protective services. Murder of boyfriend. Murder of girlfriend. Husband murders wife. Wife murders husband. School...

    Never expect anything from anyone, self-independence is a great thing to achieve. God loves you...

    Never expect anything from anyone, self-independence is a great thing to achieve. God loves you. Ands it’s okay to have good self-worth. Loving your neighbor as yourself becomes possible by the Spirit of Christ, not by pressure, guilt, or religious performance

    First and Second coming?

    Thank you for sharing what you believe, Rocktopva. Sorry we have such an contention between us, however there is no reason to be rude. I read your latest thread and think the chemist guy was right. All I am doing is sharing what the bible states about it. How is that arrogant? Are you going by...

    First and Second coming?

    The First Coming The first coming of Jesus was when Yahavah sent His Word into the world: • The Word was with God and was God • The Word was made flesh • This happened when Mary was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit That’s the incarnation — the moment the Word of Yahavah entered human history...

    Christ has already returned ?

    I think it’s cool we get along. I do believe Jesus came. Some do not. It’s okay. There are people who live in the new heaven and earth spiritually today where the righteousness of the spirit of Christ comes through them, perhaps. I don’t know @Spiritual Israelite. @ProDeo would you like to...

    "THE WORDS...ARE SPIRIT" version of understanding scripture.

    Take everything with a grain of salt.

    OT Grammarian proof of Trinity

    I agree with the Plurality of God because God made man and woman in his image. He is both masculine and feminine.

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    When I read that passage, it hits me the same way. Yeshua wasn’t warning the world — He was warning the people who thought they were already safe. Matthew 7:22–23 is spoken to those who call Him “Lord,” who do things in His name, who look religious on the outside but never actually walked with...

    Having Grace with ourselves?

    I don’t understand why people say something that is like out of line then say hopefully the Lord forgives me… Talk about just being authentic. You meant what you said yet you want God to forgive you for saying it? Makes no sense to me. If anything you should want to apologize to the person you...

    Christ has already returned ?

    Let me be clear: I fully understand that people have their own beliefs and their own faith, and I’m not here to take that away from anyone. All I’m doing is sharing information from Scripture as I understand it. These aren’t demands, requirements, or expectations for anyone to follow. They’re...

    Christ has already returned ?

    @ProDeo, I haven't sat down and read the Revelation outloud to myself in a long time but since finding out about the desturction of Jerusalem and those mentions of Jospehus, Tactius, Cassio Dio, reports in history concerning the those times are very interesting. You read the revelation outloud...

    Christ has already returned ?

    All I’m saying is that everything Jesus spoke about happened within His own timeline and framework, not ours. You disagree with that, and you’re sharing what you believe will happen in the future — and that’s completely fine. There are all kinds of views out there: Christian nationalism, future...

    Christ has already returned ?

    I get what you’re saying, and honestly I agree with a lot of it. Out of all the end‑times frameworks, this one actually has historical grounding — not just theological speculation — and like you said, even non‑Christian Roman historians recorded events that line up with what Jesus described. At...

    Christ has already returned ?

    Okay, if you think I’m wrong, that’s fine — let me be wrong. But going back and forth just because you don’t like what I’m saying doesn’t really help anything. It almost feels like I’m on trial for a ban just for sharing my perspective. I can’t even say anything without being told I’m wrong and...

    Christ has already returned ?

    Im not gonna trust you @rockytopva just got you got a staff memeber badge. You can share and do whatever you want to do, but you wont change my mind. Just be honest and real at least... you dont believe Jesus came that is fine. Maybe one day you'll see him. I dont know. I dont think I will not...

    Christ has already returned ?

    So Jesus was wrong, apparently then. Don't be so quick to answer I havent even asked you a real question. Jesus was a liar apparently (most people think this), and everything he said shouldnt be trusted... I should trust Rocky instead.

    Christ has already returned ?

    @rockytopva I’m trying to understand your position clearly. From what you’ve shared so far, it sounds like a historicist, ongoing‑church‑age type of view — but that’s only my impression. Is that actually your full perspective? You’re quoting Scripture, but you haven’t explained the whole...

    Christ has already returned ?

    Jesus did give a time‑frame — a single generation, about forty years — and He tied it directly to the destruction of Jerusalem. He said plainly: And He defined the signs as events in Judea, not worldwide: He even gave the trigger: That happened in A.D. 70, exactly one generation after He...
