    Men of science were originally men of God

    Yes. It was hard to follow but seemed to deny the biblical Creator.

    Watching History Repeat Itself

    Matthew Poole's Commentary Hosea 8 Thy calf; *Jeroboam at first set up two calves, at Dan and Beth-el, but it is probable that in process of time there were more set up in other places, for when Israel forgot his God he built temples, Hosea 8:14. The calf then here is the chief idol set up in...

    Men of science were originally men of God

    Theistic Evolution is not biblical and those who adhere to it are not Bible-believers.

    What do Calvinists believe?

    Well there is a flawed corollary of Calvinism that negates the slightest need for the fruit or applicable activities that accompany salvation. I came across a Calvinist quote to the effect that if God has predetermined someone for salvation they can jump off a cliff shouting curses and denying...

    What do Calvinists believe?

    Your quotes relate to the AUTHOR of salvation but do not relate to things that ACCOMPANY salvation, so I refer you back to my quote with the applicable activities highlighted in red. Rom 13:11-14 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our...

    Man of Sin Self-Appointment, Self-Aggrandisement, Self-Adoration

    No. The name you provide doesn't configure with the wisdom of the gematria and Pythagorean numerology, and the time has not come for the disclosure of who the man of sin is. Rev 13:16-18 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand...

    What do Calvinists believe?

    Through Paul's writing we have doctinal certainty that salvation is to be accompanied by applicable activity. I'm no longer astonished by the inconsistencies and incongruities in the ideologies and behaviours of those who fellowship as members of the body of Christ, but some have been...

    What do Calvinists believe?

    Authoritarianism in some cases. Often cloaked in rites and rituals of ordination and elevation, but intent on controlling by domination, intimidation, manipulation, and seduction. Jesus Himself had strong words against such.

    Man of Sin Self-Appointment, Self-Aggrandisement, Self-Adoration

    Hi Mike Tang. Furthermore, the man of sin cannot be revealed unless and until the restraints and constraints of disclosing his identity are removed. While one restraint would be lack of information another would be the withholding of information. All through history and as Scripture records...

    What do Calvinists believe?

    Through our involuntary existence we find ourselves capable of voluntary actions. If we say otherwise we refute that God gave Adam and Eve an option to obey or not to obey. Predetermination and Freewill are married. They are two sides of the same coin and are not mutually exclusive, which is...

    Could the mark of the beast actually be a literal mark?

    Talk about fallacies of composition . . . almost the motherlode.

    What do Calvinists believe?

    Hi Nancy, Having studied the Wesley's and Methodism in some detail I must make a distinction between Wesley Methodists and Calvinistic Methodists. Quote: In 18th-century England Calvinistic Methodism was represented by the followers of George Whitefield as opposed to those of John and Charles...

    Man of Sin Self-Appointment, Self-Aggrandisement, Self-Adoration

    Media Disclosure Of Existence Of Man Of Sin Prohibited Until Zenith Of Wickedness Reached: 2Th 2:3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed [apokalupto], the son of perdition, Strongs G601 ἀποκαλύπτω...

    Man of Sin Self-Appointment, Self-Aggrandisement, Self-Adoration

    The situation is monitored and studied closely: My source has provided an outline of seven dimensions being used to track possible candidates: Existence: What is here to most likely cause the rise of a potential man of sin? Environment: What is happening to most likely eventuate the revealing...

    The 12 tribes of Israel: They be us.

    Bad News from New Age Paganism being dished up as Biblical Truth as follows: False Doctrine Alert: In deep meditation practices, spiritual energy (kundalini, Holy Spirit) rises through the spinal column and proceeds to open the seven chakras (seven churches of revelations) along the spine...

    Man of Sin Self-Appointment, Self-Aggrandisement, Self-Adoration

    2Th 2:3-4 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, (4) who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of...

    The 12 tribes of Israel: They be us.

    Yes. From the call of Abraham (c.1921BC Genesis12:1) to the fall of Jerusalem 70AD, Israel has had both good and bad branches. The main thought in the metaphor of the olive trees is because the root is eternally good and holy so the remaining branches of Israel and the grafted-in branches of...

    A different view of Daniels 70 weeks

    When the 70 year was captivity was finished the Jews were allowed to return to Jerusalem and Judah, as follows: Ezr 1:1-3 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfil led, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of...
