    Rapture ... soon?

    The lamentation is directed to king Tyrus, not to a spirit being, but to a human being! Tyrus is indeed showing that he is under the influence of evil. Though he was not literally in the garden of God in the beginning, through the seed of evil in his heart and mind, spiritually, he was. From...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Genesis 6:5 (KJV) And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Matthew 15:19-20 (KJV) For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness...

    Rapture ... soon?

    What part would that be? Ezekiel 28:12 (KJV) Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

    Rapture ... soon?

    We find the same example of a man the king of Babylon whose heart also became lifted up by evil, saying he would ascend into heaven and exalt his throne above the stars of God, sit upon the mount of the congregation, saying "I will be like the most High." Isaiah 14:13-14 (KJV) For thou hast...

    Rapture ... soon?

    I agree, it is dual prophecy of how the king of Tyrus has an evil spirit that has existed to try man from the beginning. The lamentation toward king Tyrus does not prove that Satan is a fallen angel. It proves that evil had penetrated the heart of the king, causing his heart to be lifted up...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Are you speaking of the lamentation Ezekiel was told to take upon the king of Tyrus? Are you saying this proves Satan is a fallen angel? How? Ezekiel 28:12 (KJV) Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum...

    Respect for one another is something we could all use in this discussion.

    Rapture ... soon?

    Can you provide passages from Scripture saying Satan is a fallen angel?

    SI, I hope you will accept my apologies for not replying to you regarding the being called Satan. It's sometimes difficult for me to have discussions without sometimes resorting in kind to some of these posts. I sense a hostile attitude, so rather than offend I will simply refrain from...

    WAS JESUS WRONG?

    Try focusing on the Greek word "see" and both those who are or those who shall be standing there makes no difference. Because the passage is NOT focused on the coming of the Kingdom of God in the distant future, it is focused on knowing that all who shall be saved will know/understand/perceive...

    WAS JESUS WRONG?

    The KJV is not a problem, rather the problem comes from those who read these passages with a particular doctrine to prove.

    WAS JESUS WRONG?

    Another way for understanding this verse is realizing that "seen" is this verse is not with physical sight, but with heart/mind understanding. IOW some who were standing there would not die until the know according to grace through faith that Christ came in the Kingdom of God. Mark 9:1 (KJV)...

    Jesus Chooses Us

    One of the most difficult doctrines regarding God's Sovereign grace it 'limited atonement'. It's very difficult for some to accept that God, in His written Word, clearly says that not all of mankind shall be eternally saved. God says that some will remain in darkness and unbelief their whole...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Being tested/tried by the tempter does not mean Christ was tempted to sin. The testing/trials are all to prove that Christ is indeed the Son of God, come in the flesh.

    Rapture ... soon?

    Our first parents unlike all their descendants lost the breath of life that God Himself (Spirit) breathed into them at creation. That breath of life I believe, is the Holy Spirit. The breath of life from the Spirit, from the moment they sinned, became carnal, natural, earthy, destined to grow...

    Question: 1 Corinthians 15:3-6

    Joe, How would you define the living as being dead in sins?

    Question: 1 Corinthians 15:3-6

    Oh yes, we love the Ozarks! And Silver Dollar City, especially at Christmas is truly magnificent!

    Question: 1 Corinthians 15:3-6

    Dear Joe, To be born again means we have spiritually entered into the Kingdom of God in heaven. The only way according to Christ to both know and enter the Kingdom of God in heaven is through the Spirit of Christ in us, "Ye must be born again". I agree there are outward signs that a person...

    Rapture ... soon?

    If our spirit did not give the breath of life to our mortal flesh there would be no human living soul upon the earth. Our life (living soul) cannot be separated from our spirit and continue to be alive. But our spirit, by the power of the Holy Spirit in us shall leave our mortal flesh and...
