Right now I can’t legally buy or sell cocaine, but if I really wanted to buy some I could go through the black market and get some. Currently, with all the different cryptocurrencies and various money laundering schemes, it’s almost insulting to claim no one will be able to buy or sell without...

Thanks for the interesting post. In Revelation 13:5, power is given to the beast to continue forty two months. Do you see people voluntarily accepting the mark of the beast happening only during the forty two months or is the mark of the beast available for people to accept during a different...

Paul categorizes sin into two categories, with fornication being the only sin that takes place in the body. Since you have the MOB being a sin, that means Paul is clearly addressing it because he’s talking about all sins. You either have to equate the MOB with fornication, say it takes place...

Well, there are other sins such as getting drunk and gluttony which involve a person’s body but when I look at the next verse, 1 Corinthians 6:19, it seems that Paul is specifically referring to our body as the temple. So it could be thought of as fornication involves sin in the holy of holies...

If I understand you correctly, you’re saying that as believers we should examine everyone who has governmental authority over us and determine whether they are true believers or not. Then after we make that determination we can know whether or not we should obey the laws of that government. Is...

Ok, so now we’re getting somewhere. If the MOB is a sin against the soul not the physical body even if it is literal and physical, then a believer can get the literal and physical MOB while remaining faithful to Christ, right? I mean if a believer who has the mental capacity of a child gets...

Well yea, it’s obvious 1 Corinthians 6:18 is speaking about fornication, but you didn’t address the issue of it being a sin against the body. 1 Corinthians 6:18 says All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Can you give us...

You gave no explanation, how about you tell us why you think 1 Corinthians 6:18 has nothing to do with the mark of the beast. Is it that 1 Corinthians 6:18 isn’t talking about a person’s physical body? If both 1 Corinthians 6:18 and the mark of the beast are referring to a physical body then...

Ok, so why does 1 Corinthians 6:18 say sexual immorality is the only sin against the body, if the mark of the beast is a sin and it’s something a person does to their body?

Why not? Because 1 Corinthians 6:18 say the only sin against your body is fornication. I would think the mark of the beast would qualify as a sin, whether it’s something done to your body or not. Or would you say the mark of the beast isn’t a sin for a believer, and they can go ahead and get the...

1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. The mark of the beast can’t be a microchip implanted into a body.

Yea, I agree, saying the greatest tribulation ever could be a figure of speech. The absolute greatest tribulation that ever will be in the Bible would be to die unsaved and cast into the lake of fire. I don’t know anyone who has the GWT taking place in Matthew 24:21, so it’s a figure of speech...

Thanks for the generous offer on your book. I’m in the process of moving to a different state right now, I might take you up on your offer in a few months.

That’s a fair way of looking at it, but it might create another problem. If the prophecy can’t stop until it’s been fulfilled in full, then what about time itself? If we place a gap in between the weeks, we have essentially stopped (sealed) the prophecy, then unsealed it to start again for a...

Thanks for that response, I can see how you’re arriving at your position. This helps me prepare for any future conversations I might have about Daniel 9:24 with my friend.

Do you know of any examples where the word “sealed” is meant as permanent, never to be opened again? Besides in Daniel 9:24.

Yes, I actually did bring up the point about how all six points are eternal and permanent to my friend as a rebuttal to his view. He counter that with this … “to make an end” of sins uses the same word <2856> that is translated as “to seal up” the vision in Daniel 9:24, and Daniel 12:4,9 uses...

I think you’re putting the most abominable act as crucifying the Messiah, and having the AOD being fulfilled and transgression being finished at the cross. Let me get your thoughts on the word “finish” in Daniel 9:24. In our English vocabulary the word finish usually means to stop an activity...

I don’t know about any Amil folks believing that, some of the preterist folks I talk with thought it was a definite possibility. I have a Premil friend that we occasionally discuss eschatology and he’s the one that explained it to me, I’m not sure where he got it from. He said the word...

In Daniel 9:24 the word “finished” is <3607> which means to restrain, to withhold, to shut up, to keep back. The noun form of that word <3608> means prison, confinement, enclosure. Some people (including some Premill) are interpreting that to mean Satan being bound, the transgression isn’t...
