Josephus should have known, he became a governor of Galilee didn't he? Searching his works, *dozens of books) would be a task - Good luck with that. Don't think it was in the Mishnah or Talmud,the Jewish virgin was to be married on the 4th day of the week. Here is more detail, but ancient...

Thank you. That is Preterism and also Amillennialism. Now you know. Btw we have communicated a dozen times in the past on the same subject - look it up by doing a search with both our names. We had no lengthy debates though as you typically respond by just saying thank you for your input.

Really? Let's clear up now. 1. Do you believe that the events in Revelation 6-20 will literally take place or that they have already taken place? 2. More specifically, do you believe in a literal Millennial Kingdom _ on earth _ after the Great Tribulation is over _ that will literally be ruled...

Do you have a problem with Jesus bodily ressurrection? His body was transformed into a spiritual body - capable of appearing and disappearing in both dimensions - as angels do. They touched Him, saw His scars, He ate with them. He met the Disciples in Galilee. Do you think He walked for three...

You are an Amillenmialist, of course what I say will sound off to you. You will soon be taken by surprise when we are all ushered into the Great Tribulation and will scratch yoir head and wrestle with your Preterist views for awhile until you finally dismiss them. Get ready.

"Woe to them that are with child and to those that are nursing" is to be taken literally. The context of Matthew 24:19 is the Great Tribulation. Specifically a message to the Jews in Israel, when it is being attacked (by the Beast/Ten Islamic nations assisted by Russia as well), you need to...

Yes I believe Jesus _ after He as ended into heaven _ was then given the scroll and He opened the seals. It was a written document (spiritual in the heavens, like a play book), plans to be carried out in the future. Why do I say this? Because after each seal is opened, the angel says " "come...

Daniel 12 tells us certain things about the end times that are to be sealed up ... The Bible says we have blurry vision, that the mystery of God would be revealed at the 7th Tumpet. No one knows the day of hour. Revelation is not a straight forward prophetic series of events easily understood...

There is a logical explanation as to why there are so many views _ yet we are all guided by the Holy Spirit. His end time plan is mysterious and the order of events are uncertain because He planned it that way. Every generation needed to have this sense of imminency of His return, and...

Every part of God's perfect plan for humanity throughout history involves all of us. In essense, it is all a done deal in His mind but just hasn't been fully consummated yet! Every action AND inaction, whether good or evil has a purpose. Concerning the good things, God is instructing us to do...

It's okay, you can't grasp the concept. Jesus expected that some would not; "Who, as He already existed in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped," Phil. 2:6

@Matthias Church history did not lead you to Christ. Church history may confirm your conversion; but the Holy Spirit led you to Christ, Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life, the Alpha and Omega, the Good Shepherd, the Bread of Life, the Vine, the Light of Men, the Door, the Creator. It is...

God draws man to Himself through unique circumstances for each individual, orchestrating events and people that ultimately lead us to the truth, which is the Word. Commentary, history is helpful. The Word is the Light of men. "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word...

My beliefs are based on the Bible and conformed by the Holy Spirit. I just me tioned that scholars on the first few centuries believed in the deity of Jesus and the triune God. As most scholars today believe fthe same, some very off that path. As for your question, Tertullian's logic is good...

Not flying anymore. Anyways, I just wanted to share something with you. I think I was in that thread you mentioned when you revealed that you were an Ante-Nicene Christian. I wasn't aware of any difference as if the Council of Nicea changed orthodoxy. Pre- Nicene scholars believed in the deity...

An internet slap is not too painful ... would you like to meet for a cup of coffee sometime? :)

That's a harsh judgment. The majority of conversations are respectful and kind. I know what mean though, sometimes people get mean and say things they normally wouldn't to your face, insulting you, defaming your character ... implying you aren't a Christian. You develop thick skin after awhile...

The Holy Spirit converts the soul, lifts the veil of blindness. We can't do that, we can only plant seeds, spread the gospel message, directing the lost to Christ for salvation. And the gospel can be simply stated: Jesus died for our sins and rose on the third day according to the scriptures. If...

I believe in annihilation too, but in the Lake of Fire. Hades is not the Lake of Fire. Hades ( and everyone in it) is thrown into the Lake Of Fire after the Great White Throne Judgment _ after the Millennial Kingdom _ at which time the first earth and first heavens are destroyed ( 2 Peter 3:10)...

Goodnight Jack and goodbye.
