    The Messiah

    There are many warnings that in reality are true for unbelievers. In your perspective and with your human nature, bent towards greed, selfishness, pride and holding grudges, this is true. Yet once you are transformed, you become a new creature, bent towards love and forgiveness and God has...

    ‘I SAID, YOU ARE GODS’?

    How did Jesus heal? He didn't need to touch the person, but at times he did. Healing power miraculously transfered into the person as God heals us. He doesn't need to enter I to our flesh. But this is NOT the flesh I am talking about. In Greek, "flesh" is sarx (Strong's #4561). Jesus and Paul...

    Three Raptures

    @Gordon I also think the 4 horses have been let out of the barn as well. The NWO enforced worldwide pandemic rules for all to adhere by. They started in the US on March 12, 2020. At no other time in history was such power commanded over hundreds of countries that just compiled. Wars, rumors of...

    Three Raptures

    7th Trumpet rapture! Mid-Trib and I have exhausted all the possibilities. However, I have come to an alternate reasoning, that the Seals, Trumpets and Bowls are released either simultaneously or rapidly. We are shown what each one means individually and read it in a linear fashion; but it does...

    ‘I SAID, YOU ARE GODS’?

    No. I explained to you that the Holy Spirit dwells in us. You just don't understand where _ in us. It's okay, don't strain yourself. In post #20 I tried to explained the intricacies of the spiritual man by comparing the design of the Old Temple to our New Temple but that was possibly too deep...

    ‘I SAID, YOU ARE GODS’?

    I don't agree. This is not a gnostic view. The Holy Spirit does sanctify us to do good works. We are transformed by the renewing of our minds. When one is born again, we are set apart, sanctified, sealed instantly, spiritually. However, we do not automatically begin to behave purely and holy...

    ‘I SAID, YOU ARE GODS’?

    For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. We are a new creature, spiritually pure that is separate from our flesh -YET - being high integrated ( body, soul and spirit), we...

    War in The Middle East - likely the one!

    TISHA B'AV coming up! Minor confrontations going on between IDF and Palestinians. But IF a major war is going to happen this year, likely it will begin this month. Why? Tisha B'AV, the 9th of Av has been historically the worst day in Israel's history with destructions of Temple and wars. This...

    ‘I SAID, YOU ARE GODS’?

    He doesn't live in our flesh! Soul = Mind, Will, Emotions, Personality (range of habits), talents, the invisible you. Spirit = The New Eternal you which takes all that is good of you. As the mind is highly integrated with the brain, our spirit is our purified self. We are born with a dead spirit...

    ‘I SAID, YOU ARE GODS’?

    Use a small "g" please! The reference to Psalm 82 has confounded some. I think that it is a rebuke of the rulers, magistrates, judges who have been placed on that position by God. They judge like gods over their nation. The message to them is that they should not show favoritism, and must act...

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    And isn't that exactly what you are doing when you write books about the Bible ( as you've claimed to have accomplished)? You are interpreting scripture, whether accurate or not, you are in fact planting seeds good or bad for people to digest and believe. The Bible is sufficient AND we really...

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    Really? The Disciples asked Jesus a three -part question. Jesus' answer referred to the destruction of that Temple ( whoch happened in 70 AD), then He jumped far into the future to His Second Coming and to the end of the ages. Verses 14 is a key verse, about a time in history that has never...

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    Eschatology has been a study of mine for 30 years. I am drawn to it moreso than any other topic. Si of course in my beginnings I listened to various scholars and tested what they said, agreeing with some things and disagreeing with others. Lots of it is considered unresolved. There are a dozen...

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    What? The only one we are not sure of is the writer of Hebrews. Did God tell you that one? There are many antichrists and much tradition that has drifted from God's Word BUT TYE GREAT TRIBULATION HASN'T ENDED! We are likely in the "Beginning of Sorrows" which precedesbtue full blown GT or we...

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    What traditions are you knocking? Can you be specific? Many traditions are based on Christian customs and beliefs, passed down through generations. Christ has formed and ordered our ways of living, our culture. Worshipping, music, praying, feasts, charity, ceremonial, civil mores, taboos...

    The Messiah

    @the.reverent.atheist A former atheist, Awarding Winning Investigative Journalist, with a Masters degree in Law from Yale, Lee Strobel, sought out to disprove the Biblical stories of God and Jesus and on his journey was shocked to find overwhelming evidence contrary to his beliefs. He became a...

    The Messiah

    Well, in your hypothetical situation, this guy seems to be seeking God. He's not sure about any religion, so he tries several. At least he is trying, did you do that? Maybe you should follow your own imaginative scenario. Though this hypothetical fella goes through the motions, it's apparent...

    Reasons Jews Reject Jesus

    Yes, we'll it is confusing. The Father identified Jesus as His Son at His baptism. Obviously, at conception and His birth and childhood, He was His Son as well. So looking closely at the scripture, "Son of God with power", does not necessarily say He wasn't His son before His resurrection, just...

    Be born again to be whose child?

    Read Romans 11. Paul clearly explains the distinction between Israel and tue Gentiles. Branches were broken off, so that we could be grafted in. God is not done with the Jews. He will remove their veil and they will finally see their Messiah, Jesus. He will rule_ in Jerusalem_ during the...
