When the vision was given to John much of it was a review of things past, as you put it. In Revelation 12:10, the tenses used are past perfect ("has been cast down") and present perfect ("have come"). The past perfect tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another past...

The question of whether the death of Christ on the Cross purchased salvation for everyone is a matter of theological debate among Christians. Sufficiency Doctrine: Some hold the view that Christ died for all people, and that anyone who believes in him can be saved by his grace. This is known...

Disciples of Christ = Christians Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa...

Strawman alert.

Assertions that Christians cannot and do not sin are obviously false. The Lord's Prayer still applies and implies that Christians are capable of sinning. In fact, one of the lines in the prayer is “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” This line acknowledges...

The Sin That Entangles, The Chastening Of The Lord, and The Fruit Of Righteousness. Heb 12:1-11 Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set...

Thanks for your comment, Robert. Wise advice.

I've lost count of the ostensibly Christian gatherings I've attended and contacts I've made to promote spiritual growth, both my own and others, with the result being exposure to various forms of hostility. This has vexed me in the past to the point where I am very selective about what...

That's why it's called the hope of glory. Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

The seven churches mentioned in the book of Revelation were located in Asia Minor and each faced their own set of problems. For example, the church in Pergamum was known as the worldly church because they allowed sin like idols, immorality, cults and heresies to remain among them even though...

Hence the seven letters to the ekklesias . . . Example: Rev 2:4-5 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. (5) Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its...

God's Plan produced opposition to His Will as inevitably as this arrangement of numbers produces its results. The number 666 is a doubly triangular number because it can be expressed as the sum of two consecutive triangular numbers: 36 (the 8th triangular number) and 630 (the 35th triangular...

I wouldn't get far. Lev 10:1-3 Then Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it, put incense on it, and offered profane fire before the LORD, which He had not commanded them. (2) So fire went out from the LORD and devoured them, and they died before the LORD...

A Four Dimensional Framework to describe the interactions between God and man. I believe God has created us with a dimension of freewill which He wants us to exercise in harmony with His Will as expressed in His Word and evidenced in His Work. 1. Foreknowledge - God always knows everything, if...

He revealed Himself.

Both.

Still a problem . . . Jer 2:13 "For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, And hewn themselves cisterns—broken cisterns that can hold no water. . . . and yet they are still referred to as "My people".

Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; God wouldn't be God if there was a greater purpose than His own. Everything about Creation was good until sin spoiled it. Fortunately God had a remedy already planned. The admonition is to look to Jesus as...

Why do you think God decided to have Jesus die? The short answer is that it was the only way to redeem sinners.
