WIndmill asked: "More than one commentator has suggested that we have so many n t quotes in the church fathers letters that we could almost reconstruction the n t from them. How true that is ?" Very true. The NT has been reconstructed using only church fathers quotes, and they were able to...

GJohn 10.37

Jesus actually did supernatural miracles to the satisfaction of his audience. For example, when asked by the disciples of John the Baptist whether or not he, Jesus, was the long-awaited Messiah, Jesus told John’s disciples to return to John with the following message: The lame walk; the dead are...

Here’s a real shocker, not that anyone should care, but after all these years, I have abandoned my faith in Christ. True, life has been unbearable for me over the last 13 or so years. You might even say unfair. There has not been one day over this time that I haven’t prayed that God would allow...

Nope. You are not well read of your opponents. This is a childish, non-researched reply. I have lost respect for you and will not interact with you on future posts. That will hopefully make you happy.

I knew it. You are exactly wrong. The vast majority of Pre Trib scholars disagree with Ice. I am just mystified that this is your answer.

But Blandina was hung on a post and exposed as food for the wild beasts let loose in the arena. She looked as if she was hanging in the form of a cross, and through her ardent prayers she stimulated great enthusiasm in those undergoing their ordeal, who in their agony saw with their outward eyes...

Sanctus was another who with magnificent, superhuman courage nobly withstood the entire range of human cruelty. Wicked people hoped that the persistence and severity of his tortures would force hum to utter something improper, but with such determination did he stand up to their onslaughts that...

Some time ago, quite a while ago if I recall, I sent out an article on Polycarp, a famous martyr of the Christian faith. Unfortunately, he is far from the only martyr in history. The dark, evil pages of Church history are actually filled with flickering lights, those who have endured the...

Below is a bit of history that Eusebius has reproduced for the benefit of other Christians. For those unfamiliar with Eusebius, he was a church historian who recorded the following words in 340 AD. (Eusebius had hoped that his labors would be of benefit to us.... I think we can safely conclude...

This verse deserves about a week or two of comments but we don’t have that long. Let me give you the skinny of it: (Please pardon my language, my analogies if you will.) The three members of the Godhead (the Trinity), having decided to create angels and mankind, needed to assume different ROLES...

This is a bit long, most will not read this, but it posted it for the few who will. I offered the following paraphrase for GJohn 1:1 in my previous post: “In the beginning, a beginning that precedes the creation of all things, the Word was already in existence, and hence, by virtue of existing...

I'll make it simple, what do pre-tribs believe the APOSTASIA means?

I'm not in the habit of researching others' opinions. The listing of 2 Thes 2.3 here is the contributor's personal opinion. Do me a favor, I want to check something. Can you tell me the pre-trib position in your own words. I really am not sure how well you understand the pre-trib position.

Daniel 9 gives the time line of the last 7 years of the Jewish Dispensation. The covenant signed is for a 7 year period. Your other verses say that the DOTL comes as a thief in the night. This is a reference to the Rapture. Anyone in the Tribulation can calculate the day of Christ's second...

What most do not realize is that from the time Jerome translated the New Testament into Latin in the fourth century to the time of the KJV, there was an unbroken record of apostasia being translated “departing.” To our knowledge, no one in the early church and up to the early seventeenth century...

What are all the possible definitions of ἀσθενεστέρῳ? Hint, you wont find it in any Lexicon. Note that I am not asking about a translation of a word, but the word itself.

Do you know why 2 Thes 2.3 is listed in this Lexicon? It is the contributor's opinion. I hardly think a person's opinion (just like you have) is something to cite as proof of one's position.
