So if "all" means "everybody with no exceptions", how can Revelation 20:4 speak of those who had not received the mark?

Where? I imagine you are thinking of this verse: Rev_13:16 NKJV He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads. That verse makes clear that "all" in that context refers to men of every rank in society, mall and...

I did indeed download the document. Although it went into all sorts of detail about the early life of Jesus, I didn't see any particular reference to the wise men's visit. However, it was a longish document, and I may just have missed it. If so, perhaps you could quote the relevant part. Thanks.

Acts 15:15-18 doesn't mention a temple: Act 15:15-18 (NKJV) And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written: 'AFTER THIS I WILL RETURN AND WILL REBUILD THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID, WHICH HAS FALLEN DOWN; I WILL REBUILD ITS RUINS, AND I WILL SET IT UP; SO THAT THE REST OF...

What is so sad is that many people seem to see, hear and smell these things, and imagine that they all came into existence by mere chance. They don't recognise almighty God as the Creator of these things and everything else.

It seems that you have to make a lot of assumptions. I don't think we are going to agree on these matters, so I'll leave it there.

Thank you for replying, Jay. I don't think I have accepted a distorted story. What I wrote was based on Scripture. You say that the accounts of the birth of Jesus cover only 40 days or so. That may be so regarding His birth, but my post was about the visit of the wise men. Why did Herod kill...

In that case, please show me where in the Bible we are told that all Christians will be raptured (by which I assume you mean taken out of the world) before the tribulation. Particularly as Revelation speaks of that great company of the redeemed as those who have come out of the great...

Thanks, that make is clearer.

I know what you mean about using biblical words and assuming that they will be understood by a non-Christian. I have the privilege of writing a weekly "Thought for the Week," a Bible-based message that appears in our weekly local (secular) newspaper. I try to ensure that when I use words that...

Yes, we do still need God's grace once we have been saved, but saying that grace id for the saved seems to ignore what Paul says when he says that it is by grace we are saved: (Eph 2:8-9 NKJV) For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God...

Indeed. The word "tribulation" occurs 21 times in the New Testament (NKJV). In many of the verses containing the word, it is taught that Christians go through tribulation. For example, Jesus told the disciples: Jhn_16:33 (NKJV) These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have...

Are there really genuine Christians who receive the mark of the beast? That mark of the beast is mentioned just twice in the Bible (though there are a few other verses that refer to it as "the mark" or "his mark", but none of them give the slightest hint that Christians can have it). The first...

But the horizon doesn't rise. The further you travel towards it, whether in a plane, a ship or on land, the horizon remains the same distance from where you are. That is why if I were to go by ship from my home town on the south coast of the UK, I would not be able to see France for some...

I don't think Adam built an ark at all.

As in John Doe, the typical American? So "Bruce" is just a name put there as an example, not an actual person named Bruce. I see now. Thanks.

Thanks for explaining.

Sorry, I am probably missing something very obvious to others, but who is Bruce? How do you know that he will be one of the people who takes the mark of the beast?

Thank you for replying, but I don't see how that answers my question, which was: "Where in the Bible do we read Jesus saying that He is healing the earth and it might take some time?" You quote Revelation 11:15, but no healing is mentioned there, nor is such a supposed healing said to take a...
