    Symbolism

    Fair enough. Circling back, I suppose what I have reacted to, and find issue with, is the idea of "over emphasizing symbolism." The problem with such an idea is that it goes against the very premise in which God has with creation. Considering the idea of symbolism being "over emphasized" after...

    Symbolism

    I am not going to go back and quote you, but you referred to the Holy Spirit as the source of what you believe. But yes, we should all expect that correction of many customary beliefs was to come, and has come even if not believed. Still, the Holy Spirit does not give a person what they...

    This is the context of how Dan. 9:24-27 should be considered!

    You have failed to name one prophecy from Revelation 6 that is not fulfilled yet. Failed.

    This is the context of how Dan. 9:24-27 should be considered!

    It is as you say, you merely "believe."

    Symbolism

    The possibilities only become endless if the symbolism is left to opinion--to people and their own understanding--rather than God alone. But Jesus explained, giving many examples by the named parables--saying about such use of symbolism, that "it has been given to you to know the mysteries of...

    This is the context of how Dan. 9:24-27 should be considered!

    "None of the prophecies from Rev. 6" that you claim have not "been fulfilled yet." Name one such prophecy.

    This is the context of how Dan. 9:24-27 should be considered!

    If that were actually the case, you would not try to translate or explain it. That is all fine for self-analysis, but to state what you "just believe" publicly as fact, is where it becomes a problem. Moreover, that practice is a violation of Matthew 16:17 and 1 Corinthians 14:28. Please...

    This is the context of how Dan. 9:24-27 should be considered!

    Unfortunately, this makes a good example of making claims as if they are fact, based on one's own understanding, not as truth, but mere speculation, conjecture, opinion, and one's own interpretation. Anyone who actually cares to know the truth, would do well to understand that this is not how...

    THE LAST TRUMP EXPLAINED

    Yes, many different words and terms have been used to describe many real and godly events--even by God. But men have indeed made some of those descriptive terms into other doctrines as if each word or term is a separate event. God’s greater purpose in doing so is like a drag net to gather many...

    WHO COULD POSSIBLY BE AMONG THE 144,000

    The "we" refers to those born again of the spirit of God: the "living" made alive "in Christ", AKA the "church." "The 144 thousand" refers to "all" who are saved: In scripture, "thousand" is often synonymous with "all." So is "ten", ten referring to the immediate "all" and thousand referring to...

    THE LAST TRUMP EXPLAINED

    It's just that you are being so vague...not much "explained" as it were. And why do you use "rapture" instead of the biblical use of "resurrection?" It just causes confusion. It is in and by the "resurrection" that all are "changed" from "this corruptible / this mortal" to "incorruptible /...

    The National Org. of Evil Mentality needs to go

    No, but there is "A time to kill"--not just allowed by God--but arranged by God.

    The National Org. of Evil Mentality needs to go

    You don't have to believe it, but that's not biblical. God gives allowances for the law of the land, even for capital punishment ("A time to kill").

    The National Org. of Evil Mentality needs to go

    Actually, everyone involved who is now unknowingly speaking and acting against the powers that be, is likely to be forgiven by God. But that's God. However, ignorance is no excuse under the law of the land, which many do not even know is now in force. Even so, for some who think they know what...

    The National Org. of Evil Mentality needs to go

    What would make those things legal? Do you know of any Constitutionally legal reason? There is. @SavedInHim

    How is it that you come by your information?

    Do you make claims of what is biblically true, by your own understanding of the scriptures? Jesus said, speaking to Peter "flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven...on this rock I will build My church." Unfortunately, that qualification is violated here...

    THE LAST TRUMP EXPLAINED

    Without you elaborating more...it sounds like you are referring to the first and second resurrection, or two different trumps other than the seven of Revelation. Perhaps you should elaborate. Also, how is it that you come by your information?

    Potential

    This reminds me of the guy who refused rescue from a flood from a boat and then a helicopter while sitting on his roof waiting for God to rescue him, only to hear later from God that He was the one who sent the boat and then the helicopter he had refused. sml I suppose that means our default...

    Clueless liberals? Would you feel more comfortable with a radical Islamist or a MAGA supporter?

    Why would Democrats hold victory parades when Trump wins? You mean protecting the Ebstein list? Haha...boy are you in for a big surprise!
