    Revelation 3:10

    Hello Chris, I believe you are a natural Carmen Sandiago, or a Hardy Boy, or Sherlock Holmes (those are some people who are detectives I have read in my lifetime.) There are so many people that do not even know these things at all. We could reduce with all your findings in such a way we could...

    Not a future seeing Jesus coming guy

    Im not a future jesus coming through the clouds today guy. I believe its apparent for most on the board I am not. Jesus walked around and reading those Gospels he talked to the Jews. Paul wrote to saints. there is no saints today. Not gonna change - some call it pride. Im thankful that the...

    Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?

    Hello Shepherdsword, In the prior chapter, Jesus had left the temple and said : He continues telling parables after brining you into the next chapter of the wedding banquet. This is in reference to people whom are trying to sneak into the kingdom by going around the gate. I equate it to...

    Revelation 3:10

    Hello @complete, I was not sure what you were saying. I agree with you too! Absolutely. Here’s a breakdown of what they’re saying: Core Idea: • Holistic interpretation means understanding Scripture by seeing how all its parts fit together, rather than isolating verses or doctrines. •...

    1000 thousand years is not literal

    I’m not here to bicker. I’m here to build. Some wield scripture like a sword, not to heal but to divide. They quote verses to justify horrors—rape, murder, suffering— as if God delights in torment, regardless of age or gender. But that’s not the God I know. “The Lord is righteous in all His...

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    Hello @bdavidc, Well we will have differences of opinions, won't we. There are people who dont want people to be in the heavenly realm to begin with. You just wanna argue. That's no fun. That's the flesh! People who typically just want to win, only want to argue that their view is correct...

    Hello Douggg, I do not care. That is the truth. Believe whatcha want. It has nothing to do with salvation anyway. Grace and peace, Matthew

    Mystery Revealed In The Pauline Epistles! e431

    Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the Lord? Because of this, wrath has gone out against you from the Lord.

    Some people will cut their son or daughter off cause they are gay or a lesbian. Wishing they never been born and they are supposedly a Christian... I mean lets get real here.

    Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the Lord? Because of this, wrath has gone out against you from the Lord.

    Paul also says you can marry an unbeliever if a person wants to. It's all about faith... and having love for your fellow neighbor. I dont think you would let your family member suffer if they were an atheist... Say they were on their death bed, and 80 years old. You can cut off people out of...

    Not a future seeing Jesus coming guy

    Hello @Douggg, They were killing Christians, they wouldn't care that people taken. Thank you for watching the video though. People don't care about the first century christians otherwise they would mention them. So yes. People don't care if people are Christian today, why would there be any...

    Hello @HealthyShape, Who cares what they believe... They can believe whatever they want to. People will test things or falsely believe them. Grace and peace, Matthew

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    Hello @shepherdsword, Revelation 20 is over and done with. What remains is what is foretold in Revelation 21, and 22. Yeah lake of fire. It still goes on in my opinion, but it's not like it was in Revelation 20. They only have a part of it. That book of life is mentioned in the old testament...

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    Paul went to the utter ends of the earth. Therefore the conclusions of all nations, would mean the nations they knew at that time. People try to use certain passages to justify the means, however, you gotta consider the audience and the time. People are gullible to manipulation. You can see...

    1000 thousand years is not literal

    The Thousand Years: Symbolic Completion, Not Chronological Countdown The idea that the "thousand years" in Revelation 20 is a literal span of time has fueled centuries of speculation, but I believe it's symbolic—a metaphor for the fullness or completeness of God's redemptive timeline...

    Revelation 20: 5&6

    Hello FredJ, All I can think of is that the bible never explicitly says that "there are no second chances." As many people suggest, and Jesus overcame Death, even the Second Death. As he overcame Death, Sin, Satan, and Sin. I myself personally wonder if there is something that we can do when we...

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    Soberxp, Bro. I use to think Jesus was coming back. You better off leaving me alone at this point. I'm kind of done conversing with you. You acting like everyone else, in that I can't have this view. lol... you can believe what you want, but I can't believe what I see, in the bible and have...

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    Christian nationalism is a very weird construct. I hate that people use the bible as though this whole world is gonna change. Heaven and earth to a Jew - what they understood was "their whole world around them" "their heaven and earth." That economy was destroyed with fire... and all of their...
