I have to agree. The word patriarch is only used four times in the bible: Acts 2:29 “Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Acts 7:8 He gave him the covenant of circumcision. So Abraham became the father...

I can't think of an example of Jesus calling people names and throwing insults at people. He always spoke firmly but with love and sympathy for their fallen condition. Sorry, I didn't mean to direct that post just at you! I just quoted your previous post as the most recent example in the...

Let's try to not forget: Galatians 5:22-26 (WEB): (22) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, (23) gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (24) Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and...

Okay, but that is a different subject, and I was not sabre-rattling! My post was more in keeping with this discussion about "why Islam is dedicated to destroying Israel". God speaks of the perpetual hatred between Esau and Jacob (Israel) because Jacob took Esau's birthright and his blessing -...

Satan doesn't just use Islam, of course. It is estimated that between 50 and 100 million Christians were killed in the Middle Ages by the Papacy, e.g. a quote from ESTIMATES OF THE NUMBER KILLED BY THE PAPACY IN THE MIDDLE AGES AND LATER: "From the birth of Popery in 606 to the present time...

I don't understand your criticism. You quoted my quote of Psalms 83, then said that the passage of Ezekiel 38 has not happened yet, but I never mentioned the prophecy against Gog, nor said that it has already happened! My post was about the perpetual hatred that the arabs have for the Jews...

[I wrote this about 23 years ago, but it's still relevant.] The Perpetual Hatred To understand more clearly what God foretold concerning the events that would take place between the nation of Israel and the Arab nations in these latter days, we need to trace these nations history back to their...

1 Corinthians 15 (WEB): (37) That which you sow, you don’t sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind. (38) But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own. (44) It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual...

Being present with the Lord is a different meaning from being "absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord", which implies that being dead is to be alive and with Jesus. "Is" to be has a different meaning from "and" to be. The Greek word is kai, which means 'and, also, even, indeed...

You are misquoting the Bible. There is no English translation of the Bible that says "is to be present with the Lord". 2 Corinthians 5:8 (WEB): (8) We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord. Paul is saying that we are...

Christians that die before Christ's return are dead (or "sleeping" as Jesus refers to it) - they are not immediately restored to life, nor taken to be with Jesus. As Paul explained, 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 (WEB): (15) For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who...

You should learn from Jesus, who said, Matthew 11:29 (KJV): (29) Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. To be meek means to be patient, mild and gentle, not inclined to anger or resentment. "Lowly in heart" means to...

Two reasons why the rapture has to be pre-tribulation: 1. The rapture is imminent, i.e. Jesus tells us that we don't know when he will come, it could happen at any moment - there are no events or signs that must precede the rapture. Therefore the foretold events of the Great Tribulation...

Jesus was talking about the coming Great Tribulation - Luke 21:25-26 (WEB): (25) There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves; (26) men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which...

All the reasons and arguments in the video are based on Scripture. I urge you to watch it, but like leading a horse to water, I can't make you drink it! One verse that is mentioned in the video is Jesus saying, Luke 21:36 (WEB): (36) Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may...

I recommend that you watch this video - 3 Undeniable Reasons the Rapture is Pre-Trib. Then you will see that your statements are wrong. 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 (WEB): (9) For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, (10) who died for us...

Paul did not form the body of Christ, he merely explained it by teaching the analogy - 1 Corinthians 12:4-27 (WEB): (4) Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. (5) There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord. (6) There are various kinds of workings, but the same...

Ephesians 4:4-5 (WEB): (4) There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling; (5) one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

There is no division of the body of Christ, we are all equal in Christ. Remember Galatians 3:28 (WEB): (28) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Paul wrote 2 Corinthians 1:19 (WEB): (19) For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.” And Peter wrote, 1 Peter 5:12 (WEB): (12) Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have...
