    When you can demonstrate integrity in what you post, then a discussion might progress between us. All that I am seeing reflected in what you are responding with is the baggage that you possess. Goodbye. PS: - this might be a good place to discontinue this discussion between us.

    Interesting preterist argument

    Depending upon the translation we use, depends on whether or not Matt 16:28 has been linked by the translation with the Transfiguration Passage. However, Matt 17:1 suggests that there are six days separating Matt 16:24-28 from Matt 17:1-13 whereas Luke 9:28 suggests that eight days are...

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    Is it not true that many simply jump to conclusions without taking the time to seriously examine all of the evidence in the scriptures?

    Me thinks you lack the ability to discern what it was that I had posted. So now you put words into my mouth that I did not say in a vain attempt to make me look foolish or something. Goodbye

    Interesting preterist argument

    Preterist make an assumption that in Mat 24:34, that when Jesus made this statement, "Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened." is understood to mean a "descendant" generation and not a long period of time, i.e. just over 1,000 years, which is...

    Hello, There is an American registered boat that, to help with the socialisation of their children, the parent owners of that sailing vessel, have invited young people onboard for a cruising adventure so that their children can mix with other young people while sailing for a couple of weeks...

    Need help with escritoire space

    I read a book about an architect and his mantra was that if an item was functional where it was located then it carried a "different functional beauty" from an item that looked good but had no "real" functional purpose. God sees beauty in all people, even though we ourselves often hold a...

    Interesting preterist argument

    Yes, but I disagree with the conclusion that he has presented.

    Interesting preterist argument

    I find that the many so-called theologians pick and choose both religious prophecies and historical events as their signposts with which to explain what the scriptures was saying. However, just one wrong interpretation of scripture can send a person down the wrong rabbit hole of error. The...

    We must remember what Christ said about judging the righteousness of others. This judging of the righteousness of others is also a sin in His eyes and both sides sadly are committing the same sin that they are accusing the others of doing.

    MATTHEW 5:19 THESE LEAST COMMANDMENTS

    Did not God have prophesied in Ezekiel that He would gather Israel to Himself and plant them in His fertile soil/field and will teach them based upon the foundations stone, untouched by human hands, that "Jesus is the Son of God" and that after this stone comes down out of heaven, that it will...

    Vision Of A Boat At Sea

    The reading is from 2 Timothy and is this passage starting at verse 2: - 2 Tim 4:1-5: - Preach the Word 4:1 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of...

    I am seeing reports of revivals happening around the world. Some see a glass half empty and the liquid level sinking while other see a glass half full and the liquid level rising. As for your claim that Christ's Second Coming will occur in a few years from now at best, many Saints do not have...

    The great falling away spoken of in the Book of Revelation is speaking of a time over 1,000 years into our future after the Beast and the False Prophet are released from the Bottomless Pit. That does not exclude Saints falling way during this present time period because of the cares of this...

    Do you believe that in the USA, people suffer from Biblical illiteracy?

    ^^^^ In answer to the thread title, it is big fat "YES." But why only limit this disfunction to only USA citizens. Is this not true of every ethnic people group as we all suffer from some form of biblical illiteracy?

    What are we doing here?

    Well reading a bit to much, is not the problem that many people have. Many peoples' problem is their lack of actually understanding what the context of what they read is. Usually, they use faulty reference data to begin drawing their own conclusions out of what they have read. Like a...

    The Four Stages of Mankind's Redemption:

    Just because you have a right does not mean that you exercise that right. This is the flaw in your logic.

    Slavery in the United States

    You are only considering the traditional understanding without really seeing or hearing the truth.

    The Four Stages of Mankind's Redemption:

    I do not belong to any particular cult like some of this forum. You are trying to state something which I did not. You are missing the implication that I pointed too. We can renew our mind but unless we put on the renewed personhood that God intended us to become, we are not children of God...
