    IF YOU THINK MATTHEW 24:29-30 WAS FULFILLED IN 70AD PLEASE SHOW ME WHY

    Well, Matt 12:39 has the same Greek word as found in Matt 24:34 and it has no association with descendant generation that you are suggesting for Mat 24:34 Below is a sample of how Mat 12 39 has been translated in a number of versions: -

    IF YOU THINK MATTHEW 24:29-30 WAS FULFILLED IN 70AD PLEASE SHOW ME WHY

    What if the Greek word "genea" has the meaning of "age" which has a duration of over 1,000 years and has no connection to a "descendant generation" which is what you are hanging your hat upon. I am happy with the understanding that "genea" has the meaning of and "age."

    IF YOU THINK MATTHEW 24:29-30 WAS FULFILLED IN 70AD PLEASE SHOW ME WHY

    Consider what is happening in the world today when Isaiah 24:21-22 will unfold. It is probably closer to what has been prophesised in matt 24

    IF YOU THINK MATTHEW 24:29-30 WAS FULFILLED IN 70AD PLEASE SHOW ME WHY

    Doug, you are right to question those who believe that Matthew 24:29-30 was fulfilled in 70 AD but there is another scripture which speaks of the fulfilment of Matt 24:29-30 Consider Isaiah 24:21-23 as it sheds light on when these verses will be fulfilled. Notice that Matthew 24:29-31 also...

    What sort of death did A&E die in the day they ate thereof?

    Because the Egyptians began to hate the Hebrews, the descendants of Eber, particularly the Hebrew man who brought this calamity upon them because of his fears.

    Make sure you are ready for the coming calamities!

    Let us not jump to conclusion without the required evidence that shows your claims can in fact be confirmed/qualified. The problem I see is that people are acting God like to bring about an outcome that is only in God's providence to do. It seems to me that many "Christians" have not really...

    cell phones

    Really Scott, the truth is that everybody will die whether or not if they have had the covid "vaccine." Whether the Covid "vaccine" hastened the time when a person would die is very difficult to quantify and it is a subjective conclusion on the part of the person making this claim. Your...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    Your post is very harsh. It may reflect the "law," but it is not appropriate within many third world country's cultures. God's grace loves us all because of our relationship with Him. It is our response to His love for us that is the guiding light for us to follow.

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    You are right, more information is needed by you to even offer up any advice. My advice back when the question was asked was to love all three plus the children born to the second wife as a family unit because the discarding of the first wife would bring hardship upon her within their culture...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    I was asked by my pastor friend in Nepal what he should do with a new Christian attending his church because this new Christian had two wives. His first wife had arranged a cousin to become the man's second wife so that he could get children by the second wife because she, the first wife was...

    Did the Serpent deceive A&E by lying, or by telling the truth?

    Waiting on Him, please note that the clock that I use has been set to be 14-16 hrs ahead of yours. The GMT for the east coast of Australia is +10 hrs, so if I have not responded to your post, it might be that I was asleep when you saved your post quoted above. At the moment it is currently...

    Did the Serpent deceive A&E by lying, or by telling the truth?

    The John 2:22 passage is silent as to what John was referring to. John 2:13-22: - 13 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business. 15 When He had made a...

    What sort of death did A&E die in the day they ate thereof?

    Yes! It does. When Abram went down to Egypt, the Egyptians understood that they would die the second death at the time of the final judgement. When Abraham went down to Gerar and Abimelech, king of Gerar, sent and took Sarah in Genesis 20 God told him that he was a dead man and that he should...

    What sort of death did A&E die in the day they ate thereof?

    My understanding of the Hebrew suggests that it should be paraphrased in this manner: - Genesis 2:15-17: - 15 Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat...

    What sort of death did A&E die in the day they ate thereof?

    Genesis 2:17 tells us that if we sin, we will die the second death if we are judged to be unrighteous at the time of the GWTR time of judgement in the distant future. Both Adam and Eve live to a good old age before they succumbed to their physical death like everybody else. Now when they had...

    Only Those Who Do the Will of God Will Enter the Kingdom

    Perhaps, Genesis 12:3 answers this question for all who claim to be a Saint of the one true God as to who will enter the Kingdom of God: - Genesis 12:3: - 3 I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And through you all the families inhabiting My fertile soil shall...

    >>>FROM THE TRENCHES<<< Maybe The Mystery Is An Arrow?

    Is this what you mean? Is this easier to follow? PS: - I have not commented about the theological accuracy of the presented commentary regarding Enoch given above. For clarity I have included the scriptures referred to above, embedded within their context within the referred Letters.

    What is the state of the dead in the afterlife?

    What is their state in the After Life? My opinion is that they are still lost, just like they were on this side before the toes started curling.

    Cancel FIR

    I had to Google what was being requested. In India, an FIR (First Information Report) is a formal document that initiates the criminal justice process, recorded by police when they receive information about a cognizable offense. It serves as the first step for investigations into serious crimes...
