    The maternal qualities of God

    If I understand your meaning correctly, no. The point is "separation" from God places one in a state of sinfulness.

    The maternal qualities of God

    No, I do understand the point. My point was to point out that when separated, the women/bride/mother--is [biblically] described as sinful.

    The maternal qualities of God

    While there is no virtue lacking in God, his own defining points do not include Him as "Mother." On the contrary, God created man male and female, then revealed the relationship of the Church with himself with him as Husband, and we the Church as Bride or female according to the "likeness" that...

    WHEN IS THE LAST DAY?

    You (and most of all Christendom) are over-thinking it, or simply trying to put a heavenly event into a worldly timeline. A most common mistake of not "rightly dividing the word of truth." Here is the answer: Do you know someone who has died recently? That was their "last day"--the day Jesus...

    Revelation 20:1-15 & the 1,000 years (aka Millennium) Bible Study

    Hello Adventageous, It looks like you may take a while getting to the "thousand years" passages. I do want to say that I admire great and lengthy study even if biblically, like so many books, there is "no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh." But, judging from your above paragraph...

    USA attacks Venezuela, captures President Nicolás Maduro and his wife

    Noted and quoted. You just spoke against God's choosing of a donkey, Nebuchadnezzar, Cain, King David, John the Baptist, and the apostle Paul. That's your "fruits." So be it.

    Isaiah 11:1- The Prophecy Referred to in Matthew 2:23?

    Matthew's 2:23 passage reference to the prophets, saying "He shall be called a Nazarene" has a spiritual meaning, as does Isaiah's 11:1 passage, saying, "from the stem of Jesse." The words "are spirit." It is like saying, "East of Eden" --or more precisely, "He shall be called...a man." It...

    USA attacks Venezuela, captures President Nicolás Maduro and his wife

    It's chess. China is divided. Trump caught the Communist part of China on our doorstep and punched them in the face. Just like Venezuela, China has greater percentage of their population that is not for the Commi' portion, but is suffering under Communist dictatorship.

    USA attacks Venezuela, captures President Nicolás Maduro and his wife

    Yes, it is! But you don't seem to know who the good guys are, who is fighting against all that.

    USA attacks Venezuela, captures President Nicolás Maduro and his wife

    Take your disapproval to God--He uses all kinds, from a donkey to a pagan king, from a murderer to an adulterer, from a locus eating outsider to a persecutor of Christians. If you have a problem with that--take it to God.

    USA attacks Venezuela, captures President Nicolás Maduro and his wife

    Most who say such things do so from a bruised ego. Typical. Just like many in Hollywood. But you are wrong and simply do not understand...there is more going on than meets the eye. If you haven't picked up on it, you might want to restrain your ego until you have all the information.

    1948 NOT a Complete Fulfillment of Prophecy

    I am not "assuming", nor do I have any "rules" or "interpretation." I gave some information that may appear to be my interpretation--but it's not--I only gave it to offer a means of reasoning for you (and others) to consider that is biblical. Big difference. But since you asked... most of the...

    USA attacks Venezuela, captures President Nicolás Maduro and his wife

    Like John Wayne, yes, but it would be inaccurate to think that Trump was not acting very, very carefully, very legitimately.

    1948 NOT a Complete Fulfillment of Prophecy

    You have your rules, and God has his, each to their own measure. "But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

    1948 NOT a Complete Fulfillment of Prophecy

    As the word of God is spirit...it was really never a promise from God regarding the "land" per se. The passage says "from the river of Egypt" (meaning: the likes of Gomorrah and Sodom) "unto the great river, the river Euphrates" (meaning: fruitfulness). Which spiritually is to mean: A promise...

    THE TWELVE DISCIPLES DIDN'T GET THE MESSAGE

    Israel as a people chosen by God was all about making manifest the greater things of the kingdom of God, as a mere example of that which is greater. Hence Jesus' popular "the kingdom of heaven is like..." and "which is greater?" parables. That's what Israel was--as a light unto the nations--it...

    Being slow

    Value and purpose is different with God than with people. Life is kinda like that too: One builds a fence and another rides a bronco. One cleans and another performs surgery. Which is greater if both are required? My mother assembled machine gun belts in a factory close to home during WW2. My...

    A philosophical question

    God knew us...but we--we didn't know Him. However, when we pass from death to life, we know Him and are like Him. Moreover, we then are One with Him, meaning eternal, even eternally past.

    Kingdom of the United States, Two Party System

    If you trust God, examine what He has foretold. What is now occurring is simply a small enactment of what God has foretold being made manifest, the revealing of every hidden thing. You should be able to see a parallel. Even so, men are not to be trusted as God is to be trusted.

    The bible contains what percentage of 'ALL SCRIPTURE'? 2 Timothy 3:16

    Your previous post (#143) was full of errors, as is this one. But we have covered this ground before many times, and the end comes regardless. But since you like questions...it would be premature (if even necessary) if you did not first answer what revelation I have been speaking of all this...
