Yes I would consider Jesus as turning the other cheek also in his response to the first strike. The oops thing is pretty funny too clfh. I wonder if Peter said oops when the cock crew.

The word Jesus used in the KJV is resist not flee. Basically don’t oppose or fight back against evil with violence, retaliation, or revenge.

Because the army from the north in the book of Joel is a supernatural army and the people that have come against seem to have power beyond earthly power.

Fascinating! In this verse Jesus says we should not resist evil. Are you saying we should resist evil only if it’s a minor offense like a slap on the face? Am I misunderstanding this one too? Mat 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right...

Flying cars and cures for disease were never in the plans I’m afraid. How long has DARPA had AI before we even new it existed? I’m sure their tech is decades beyond what they let us use. Same with the robot dogs and soldiers that they allow us to see.

The people doing it think they can. Why do you think they can’t?

I would say their plan is God’s plan. It’s clear to me that this is God’s northern army.

Do you mean they are trying to thwart the second coming? Not sure what you mean there ScottA.

Their plan is 2030.

The ruling class doesn’t need us peasants anymore. AI and robots can do anything we can do but faster, better and cheaper than us. We’re just excess population as far as they’re concerned. The real question is: what happens to people once the system no longer has any use for them?

The grammar makes it clear that the Spirit is the one producing the groanings. The subject of the clause is “the Spirit itself,” the verb is “maketh intercession,” and the phrase “with groanings which cannot be uttered” describes the manner of that intercession. Since the subject and verb are...

If you set Daniel aside, there isn’t a single Old Testament prophecy that gives the exact date or time of Jesus’ coming. The prophecies point to His birthplace (Micah 5:2), His suffering (Isaiah 53), His role as King and Priest (Psalm 110, Zech 6), and His entry into the temple (Mal 3:1), but...

I don’t believe the Bible uses poetry but I know some do which is fine. But considering nothing here is real, we live in a simulation, anything is possible. Even in classical physics atoms don’t take up space. There’s nothing physically here but electrical charges.

I don’t know of any other version of forever. I’m open to another view if you have one.

I disagree but that’s ok. I’m just adding to the discussion.

Yes it’s the same earth but when the Bible says a new earth, it doesn’t mean a new planet because Ecclesiastes says the earth abides forever. I’m sure there’s enough information in the Bible to know for sure what “new earth” means but I haven’t dug into that too much.

I mean physically different as in the earth has been physically changed. Something happened in the past where it looks like the earths surface, at least large parts of it were liquefied. There are buildings all over the world where first floors of multi-story building are underground. They have...

I agree. I think there have been many new earths. Every time there is a great cataclysm we get a new earth. The earth today is nothing like the earth in Jesus day which wasn’t like the earth before the flood. The only new heaven that I can see is when Abraham’s bosom was heaven for God’s people...

Ecclesiastes 1:4 – “One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.” According to this verse, the earth itself never ends, and generations of people will come and go perpetually. That verse has to be considered too.

They crucified Him because His true message was hidden within the words He spoke, as Jesus said in John 8:43: “Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.” His speech (the outward words) was not the same as His Word. The Word was hidden within His speech, beyond...
