    Parable of the minas

    A mina (Greek μινα) was a Greek unit of currency and weight. The master departed after he had left funds for the servants to continue operating the property. The good servants used the money to operate the business, and they made a profit. The bad servant kept the money himself, thinking the...

    Of Harvests and barns and gathering the people to Him, the products of the land

    o. According to some scholars the death of Jesus marked 6000 years since creation (there is debate on this). Assume this is correct. o. This current earth now abides in a "parenthesis" of sorts, due to the departure of Jesus. During this time the church of believers is growing. o. At the...

    Parable of the minas

    The three servants (Luke 19:11-27) were given money to invest. Likewise we all have been given an earth to live on, with arable soil, oxygen atmosphere, protective ozone layer above, water, plants, animals, sun for warmth, planets and stars for guidance at night. We did not create all this...

    Parable of the minas

    The mandates in the New Testament are clear. One of them is this: "Go into all nations and make disciples, baptizing them, and teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you." "Observe all things" would include spreading a BIBLICAL understanding of end-times events.

    What God Says About the False Pre-trib Rapture

    Davy noted: <doctors> I do hold a doctorate, but it's in mathematics. "Doctor" is a Latin word carried over into English. It means "teacher." Davy noted: < nowhere in God's written word> I showed you FIVE places in the Bible that indicate a pretribulation rapture.

    Parable of the minas

    English plural "minas" (Luke 19:13) is Greek plural μνας, referring to money. One webpage notes that a "mina" (Greek μνα) is "a substantial sum of money, sometimes equated to about 100 days' wages for a laborer." The servants were directed to invest the money. Hard to imagine how "wages"...

    What God Says About the False Pre-trib Rapture

    Davy noted: <Rapture nowhere in God's word> As I have noted before, the rapture is indicated FIVE TIMES in the New Testament: o. John 14:2-3 o. 1Corinthians 15:51-53 o. 1Thessalonians 4:15-17 o. Revelation 11:12 o. Revelation 14:16 IT'S IN THE BOOK.

    What God Says About the False Pre-trib Rapture

    Davy noted: <feet touching> o. "Feet touching" is at the SECOND COMING, which is all the way to the EARTH. o. The RAPTURE at the 7th trump is descent from the domain of heaven to our upper atmosphere, then back to the domain of heaven. o. Heaven is another dimension.

    Davy noted: <feet touching> o. "Feet touching" is at the SECOND COMING, which is all the way to the EARTH. o. The RAPTURE at the 7th trump is descent of Jesus from the DOMAIN of HEAVEN to our upper atmosphere, then back with us to the DOMAIN of HEAVEN = ANOTHER DIMENSION, much like our own...

    What God Says About the False Pre-trib Rapture

    rebuilder 454 noted: <you are placing the rapture after the martyrdom of all the saints> IMO: o. The rapture occurs at the midpoint of the last "seven" of the seventy sevens (Daniel 9-24-27). o. The Bible says the dead are caught up first, after that the *living* (1Thessalonians 4:16). So all...

    When Might Satan With His Angels Come to This Earth For the Tribulation?

    Davy noted: <destroy body and soul> Someone who suffers that is dead and gone. But the Spirit remains. At the last judgment anyone not in the book gets fried (Revelation 29:15).

    When will Christ return?

    "I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come suddenly to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come," says the Lord Almighty." (Malachi 3:1) When did Jesus come "suddenly" to his temple in his first...

    When will Christ return?

    Scott Downey noted: <And he [Jesus] did come suddenly> IMO: Malachi 3:1 פחאום = "suddenly, unexpectedly." Jesus visited the temple, he did not "come suddenly" to it. Currently there is no temple, the Romans tore it down. Antichrist will oversee its reconstruction, then take his seat in it as...

    When will Christ return?

    IMO the "messenger to come" was John the Baptist, first coming of Jesus. No need for a future such messenger. See Revelation 19:1-20:6, second coming of Jesus.

    When will Christ return?

    "The Lord will come suddenly to his temple" (Malachi 3:1). No temple, no return.

    Poll. Will we be judged when we die?

    No condemnation for believers (Jesus paid for sins, Romans 8:1, 2Corinthians 5:10). There will be rewards for what we did right (Revelation 22:12).

    When Might Satan With His Angels Come to This Earth For the Tribulation?

    Angels, cherubim, people were all created by God, hence all are sons/offspring of God in that respect. Job 38:7 "sons of God" is angels and cherubim.

    What God Says About the False Pre-trib Rapture

    Davy said: < They don't want you to know> Ad-hominem comments are non-probative. <Bringing saints Zechariah 14> Perhaps you meant 1Thessalonians 4:14. Zechariah 14:4 sounds like the flight to Petra Been there, seen it.

    What God Says About the False Pre-trib Rapture

    Davy noted: <Jesus does not take believers at the midpoint> o. 2Thessalonians 4:16-17 says: "Lord himself will descend.. meet the Lord in the air." o. Revelation 14:26 says: "So he who sat upon the cloud swung his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped." o. 1Corinthians 15:52 says...
