    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    While I appreciate you sharing your views with me. I just know John who was a disciple of Jesus, which I don’t know the last name. I just have faith that John, the one whom was with Jesus, was the one whom wrote it. It’s debatable, and I have heard some of the arguments. While maybe your...

    How does Satan tempt us?

    @Bob Estey I personally believe spiritually all people are walking in the Garden of Eden. Choosing the tree of life (Gospel and victory of Christ), or tree of knowledge and good and evil (organized religions), there is no need to always have Satan on the mind, his mind was crushed inward. He is...

    How does Satan tempt us?

    There is no covenant agreement in which Satan used in order to condemn. The Law has been fulfilled, and Jesus has come back like he promised in that age and day. If the Law is not been fulfilled. Then yes Satan is still around, and Jesus is coming back. There are two perspectives to choose...

    How does Satan tempt us?

    You never talk about darkness which existed in the beginning? Why? Why focus so much on Satan? What is the point? He is gone? There is no more material religion, of the Age which Jesus saved the bride. That’s what is changed, Satan is no longer useful. All have access to God, and it’s themselves...

    How does Satan tempt us?

    And God so loved the world, he sent his son. While darkness is prevailant so is light. The fight, in my opinion, is fighting the ways of the world and the spirit(s) of it. Spirit of greed, hatred, etc… to many people really give credit to Satan more than they do themselves cause the individual...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    I don’t know how true all that information is. It’s subjective for sure, sir, or ma’am. :)

    How does Satan tempt us?

    Okay. As I like to share with you, or anyone my predicated view concerning the Bible narrative, people may continue to believe however they choose. It’s totally subjective between you and God, and not a whole group of people like many people may suggest today. Thought culture and cultic groups...

    How does Satan tempt us?

    Jesus also promises to remove Satan from that position. John 12 Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out. I understand though. You look at the world through a world view that suggest everyone and everywhere is demonic things going on. Sure...

    Was Jesus 'mortal' or 'immortal' ?

    The Christ in Jesus. The Christ in Jesus left. Yes. Can you say there was blood? Life but what was the life coming from? Blood when Jesus is risen? Or was it the life giving spirit of God? Revealed now today by the Revelation? Thank you.

    What is your notion of Christian exclusivity?

    No because no one is God to judge, and judgment concerning the Wrath of God pertains to Israel in my view. Good luck to you always in Christ.

    How does Satan tempt us?

    That’s the common denominator of saying look Satan still alive because of this. I don’t think like that. Humans make choices. Your own nephew can decide by himself to murder. Children learn about it early in life, from grade school. The world has been a lot better in my opinion concerning the...

    How does Satan tempt us?

    We have before. To me. It’s stupid. To think someone whom is done away with, can’t tempt you. It really tones down Jesus and his victory. Satan must be stealing souls away if he is still active. What happens is when you learn right from wrong by and through Jesus Christ, and you learn about...

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    That is one thing to say, I disagree about the whole Lazarus idea. John though, I believe is the one being talked about. It’s not a huge deal to me personally, it’s still a good question, in my opinion. Many miss small things like this; such as Did John continue to work until Jesus returned?
  15. MatthewG

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    A good question was Jesus lying about having John alive when he returned? John the beloved Apostle is dead and gone now. Did Jesus pick him up? Did Jesus lie? If Jesus lied, hell you can’t trust him. You definitely can’t trust what anyone else has to say about the Bible too. They may be...

    Are the words in the Bible "imperfect"?

    Yes, the Bible is not word perfect. To some degree or another, while words play a major part in the reading of the Bible, with various types of use of language. Some are interpreted by the author based on their beliefs at the time. Such as the King James Bible for example, there are three types...

    Why didn't God destroy Satan at the beginning?

    I don’t believe Satans name is Lucifer. I suppose God saw use in Satan, and He promised to have his crushed in the beginning. Genesis 3:15 I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel. A...

    What was Paul's thorn in the flesh?

    No one knows. People can only speculate. If it was meant for us to know, he would have told us.

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    A big question could be, was John ever gotten? Jesus replied, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? As for you, follow me.”

    How does Satan tempt us?

    Some of those Israelites became greedy only to have maggots to eat in the morning for not listening. There is something also that is a saying We are our own worst enemy; if God can be for you, who could be against you? A waring between oneself and the spiritual things concerning Yahava, or in...
