    Plundering my religious upbringing - The desert island question

    By taking a solar panel, a rectifier and batteries, a satellite internet connect device and a computer, but sadly I had to throw these devices overboard because they were sinking the holey boast I was in. The best part was the disconnection from people like you, as I was coming ashore in God's...

    1 Thessalonians 5:2-3 is not talking about world peace and safety

    It is sad to think that so called mature "Christians" can argue over whether or not there can be a 1,000-year period of peace and safety before the Bottomless Pit is unlocked so that Satan, the beast(s), the Little Horn and the kings of the earth can rise up out of the earth to bring havoc...

    Rapture ... soon?

    David = "It is written" that your writing and rebuttals are disturbing. I am sure that those words can be found in scripture. To me you are just a young pup trying to justify your own understanding without the leading that you claim. In the Parable of the Ten Virgins, Jesus was indication to...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Sorry David, you are trying to put words into my post that I did not pen, but you have penned in an attempt to show that I am wrong with your false claim. I can know the year within a reasonable degree of accuracy depending on the accuracy of the story telling accounts in scripture. However...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Agreed that the "Holy Spirit" teaches us the truth. It is our understanding of that truth that is suspect. I agree that when we reject God's words and what He has said in the scriptures that we are rejecting His truth. Perhaps this is what you are referring to with your quoted remark. Your...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Does this not apply to both of us? Does this not apply to both of us? David when you understand what I actually know and realise what your hard heart is saying about my faith in God and the end time prophecies then there may be a chance that we can have a fulfilling conversation. At this...

    Rapture ... soon?

    I am sorry that you believe that I am disregarding God's intent re the purpose and warning re the "oil". I am sorry that you believe that I am disregarding the two Israels, the two Jerusalems and Jacob had two wives even though he recognised the two maids given to him were also his wives as...

    Rapture ... soon?

    No, the Bride is most important in this parable. Those who were prepared for the Husband to come for His bride are the ones who celebrated with the Lord in the Banqueting Hall with the bride and Husband after the doors had shut. What is the first thing that happens at the beginning of the Age...

    Rapture ... soon?

    In one of the Letters, are not the newer women in Christ told to learn from the women who are older in the Lord and their understanding? Firstly, your claim that You are like Jesus in that He seemed to be younger in comparison to the Jewish Elders when the reality was that Jesus was from the...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Unless the bride was in the banqueting hall, then the coming of the Husband would have been in vain. The question still remains, Who was going to be the bride of Christ? This is a secondary understanding for the parable. For His Saints to be fully prepared to wait for the coming of the...

    Rapture ... soon?

    If this is the case, then you are a pup trying to teach someone who is older and possibly wiser. That usually is a red herring that does not go down well.

    Rapture ... soon?

    What you have posted is what is the traditional understanding of the parable is and what I heard a pastor quote in his sermon on this parable recently. But the question that I had asked above was, "Who was the Bride that Christ came for?" That question you have not answered, and it is...

    CAN WE LOSE OUR INHERITANCE IN THE KINGDOM?

    Matt. 7:21-23: - I Never Knew You 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many...

    Rapture ... soon?

    That is the manner in which you want the story to go. If this is the second coming of Christ, who is the Bride that Christ comes for at this time?

    Rapture ... soon?

    Why is that so? What false conjecture have I assumed? Had I not factored in the bride and the groom into what I have written above as being the first parable in Matt 25? Had I not lined things up in harmony as presented in scripture? The problem that I see is that people are fearful of what...

    Are we Jacob or Esau? loving God or loving the world? (Gen 25:19-28:9)

    AH! the traditional understanding that Jacob was a deceiver continues from the first time that this accusation was made by Esau even to today's storylines on the relationship between Esau and Jacob. It is interesting that people want to hold to the traditional misunderstanding of this story...

    Rapture ... soon?

    I find that it is interesting that the three parables in Matthew 25 represent three periods of time in the seventh age. The first parable, the Ten virgins, I believe occurs very early, just after the start of the seventh age. The second parable, the Parable of the Talents tells us about...

    Are we Jacob or Esau? loving God or loving the world? (Gen 25:19-28:9)

    The interesting thing is that Isaac by preferring Esau over Jacob was actually going against God's prophecy that Rebecaa received while she was pregnant, that the Old would serve the Younger. Genesis 25:19-28: - 19 This is the genealogy of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham begot Isaac. 20 Isaac was...

    (Yes, this is happening in America) Judge Orders Maine Mom Not to Take Her Daughter to Church or Read Her the Bible

    It is so sad that a marriage and separation degenerates into a fight over control of a man over his wife/ex-wife by controlling what the wife can and cannot do while having custardy of her daughter. There is not enough information available for us readers to form an opinion on the circumstances...
