    Matthew 24:36-51: - No One Knows the Day or Hour (Mark 13:32-37; Luke 17:26,27,34,35; 21:34-36) 36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, {nor the Son}, but My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For...

    You are ten years too early. The world trade centres were levelled in 2001-09-11 or are you talking about another event in 1991 that I have no recollection/remembrance of.

    You are certainly right there. Many believed that the end of the sixth age was 1996 AD, but that is nearly 30 years ago, and it did not happen then and that means that their timing was off by more than a country mile. Now Matt 24:31 tells us that between when the Fig tree began to bud and the...

    SETTLING THE FALSE THEORY OF REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY

    How should Romans 9:25-27 be correctly interpreted? This is my take on these verses: - Romans 11:25-27: - 25 Lest you be wise in your own conceits, I want you to understand this mystery, brethren: a hardening has come upon part of Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles come in, 26 and...

    No not really, I have just built my understanding on my own inquiry from reading the scriptures, particularly the source languages used and the understanding of the historical context. I certainly do not accept the flawed contextual basis of the uniformed commentators and translators.

    Maybe, but I have not gone down that rabbit hole as it leads to destruction

    Why are Christians leaving their churches?

    You are not alone in sleeping on a bench out in the cold. There are many on this forum who are not realising that they too are sleeping on a bench while believing that they are sleeping in a great mansion.

    That is not my understanding, the ten horns represent ten false religions, not regions on the earth. Whether or not there are 10 fallen angels associated with each of these ten false religions is not clearly indicated. What we are told that at some stage, three of these ten horns will be...

    THE GOSPELS ARE NOT NEW TESTAMENT

    David, please note that "your own land" has been translated from H:0127 which has the meaning of soil, God's fertile soil/field, which Jesus acknowledged in the Parable of the Sower, that when the Sower begins scattering God's seed into the lives of Israelites, where they are living scattered...

    The answer to your question is not complicated, the horns do not represent human entities but rather the horns are like mountains and represent false religions, in keeping with the fourth beast and the Little Horn speaking pompous words and blasphemies against the one true God.

    I find this claim hard to justify from scripture. It was however, preached that the "beasts" are political entities, governments, nations and empires by the Reformation Fathers so that they could justify a break away movement from the RCC. Dan 7:2 is very telling as to the identification of...

    Is the "free gift" of salvation really free? - Honestly?

    Well, I can only point out what I have been shown from scripture. Whether or not you accept what I have posted, is really not my problem. I have been shown from scripture how many prophetic End Time events, like Luke 14:28ff, fit together to all occur in around 20 years' time. Probably, I may...

    Is the "free gift" of salvation really free? - Honestly?

    Your conclusion that Luke 14:28ff is about the cost of discipleship shows a lack of understanding of this passage. The parable of checking if the nation of Israel has the means to be able to rebuild the second temple, which was levelled in 70 AD, places this parable squarely into the events...

    Is the "free gift" of salvation really free? - Honestly?

    No, Luke 14:28ff is not about the cost of discipleship, but rather it is a parable about the present times and the nation of Israel's attempt to, in their own strength, to resurrect their "Temple" in the vein hope of being able to reconnect with God. In these parables Jesus is telling the...

    Churches weigh in on actual belief in creation and Genesis

    Please allow me to post how I believe the creation story unfolded: - GENESIS How Creation unfolded (Gen 2:4-9; Job 38:4-11; John 1:1-5) 1:1 First God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was...

    We Follow the King. You Follow a Corpse.

    Perhaps we should consider how Israelite people understand verse 31. Their understanding of the Hebrew text goes something like this: - 31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make like new again the covenant I had with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: The...

    We ask for a fish and you give us a serpent?

    Mark, you have touched upon the art of good communication. Good communication only happens when the reader of what a person writes or speaks, comes to the same intended understanding as the writer, when they constructed their form of communication for the reader to see or hear. The question...

    We ask for a fish and you give us a serpent?

    Marks, if you had read my first post in this thread, you would have noticed that I was actually defending what you had written; that the words "Apart from" could be taken to mean more than just being separated from Christ which was how @Dash RipRock understood what you had posted.
