    A Closer Look at the Genesis Creation Account

    It is a sad story. God is merciful though. Our theology could be a mess but as long as we believe in the gospel message, which is fundamental and basic, we will be saved. We know in part and the part we know is not always the same part others know. The essentials, the good news: Christ died for...

    A Closer Look at the Genesis Creation Account

    What you are stating is that God's plan isn't working and that The Body of Christ is fractured and filled with false doctrines formed by an apostate church. This is a complete lack of understanding what the Sovereignty of God means. Your faith is flawed. God has everything under control...

    A Closer Look at the Genesis Creation Account

    Oooohhh. That explains everything. Wish I caught that sooner. I was about ready to throw in the towel with our dialogue. I was just about ready to ask, "Who the heck was your Pastor and what church taught you these views?" I did ask if she was born again, and had the Holy Spirit. Now I know...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    "FOR BY HIM ALL THINGS WERE CREATED THAT ARE IN HEAVEN AND THAT ARE IN EARTH, VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE, WHETHER THEY BE THRONES, OR DOMINIONS, OR PRINCIPALITIES, OR POWERS: ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM AND FOR HIM." COL. 1:16, 17 JW's believe Jesus is Michael, a created being. Yet the above...

    Col. 1:16, 17 ... Did you miss that one. Only begotten Son means, when Jesus was born. He pre-existed with the Father God.

    A Closer Look at the Genesis Creation Account

    To you _ in your mind _ and world, what is the length of time between the morning, when the sun rises until the next morning? Wait, take your time, this get's tricky now. Half way through that time period, the sun sets and it becomes evening. Oh, there's one more complication to add to that...

    A Closer Look at the Genesis Creation Account

    Scripture is spiritually discerned, therefore you must have the Holy Spirit. True, you don't need a teacher IF you can read the text, in whatever language it is written and comprehend it. Can you translate this following sentence without referring to any reference books? בוְהָאָ֗רֶץ הָֽיְתָ֥ה...

    EARTHQUAKES = Nahum 1;5, Luke 21;11, Revelation 11;13

    Jack Hayford wrote an interesting book, E-Quake. In it he discussed the end time scenario. He explained that the Seals are the orders and the Trumpets and Bowls are the actions that fall within. He claimed that Revelation was not chronological, the events overlap and are different vantage...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    No, you missed the part that scripture says he was already equal with God. That is the part you din't grasp. He is not Michael in disguise. Someday He will introduce you to Michael and then you'll get it. I guess you also avoid or distort Col. 1:16, 17 where it identifies Jesus as the CREATOR...

    A Closer Look at the Genesis Creation Account

    Sorry, it's my cell phone's fault, his buttons are too small for my fingers. I gotta get over to my desk top, he is more cooperative.. Ususally I look it over ... I will make an extra effort. Do you have a Phd in Bible Hermeneutics, ancient Hebrew and Koene Greek? Or at least a Masters degree...

    A Closer Look at the Genesis Creation Account

    Good. I am aware that adaptive mechanisms are designed into the kinds. The term Micro-Evolution is used for that. Evening + morning does not = era. It is very simple a child can get it. The moon gives light for the evening and the sun, light for the day. 1 DAY - not millions of years. Man's...

    Understanding The 144,000

    It's OK. The Post-Trib view is accepted by many ... as well as the Gap theory too. No need to argue any further - we are getting no where. Keep your view, it doesn't matter. I put limits on how long I am willing to wrestle with a topic, I'm done. See ya up there whenever!

    Understanding The 144,000

    Got all that. Our gathering comes after the falling away and the son the perdition being revealed. And ... why does that translate to you Post-Trib. That happens before His wrarh comes. HIS Wrath doesn't come until He does and it will certainly last for more than one day.

    Understanding The 144,000

    When the literal meaning of scripture does not work with your theology, the typical solution id to say - it's symbolic and the proceed to offer something that does work. I've heard all sorts abstract interpretations from the twilight zone. It doesn't mean that anyone who didn't have sex from...

    Understanding The 144,000

    Don't see anything in there that supports a Post-Trib view. ??? Wrong. The first key element of the timing of the Rapture, lies in identifying the "last trumpet". If it is #7, then both Pre-Trib and Post-Trib views are wrong! The second key element is the "mystery of God", which will be...

    A Closer Look at the Genesis Creation Account

    Are you are trying to push Theistic Evolution, an old earth theory which distorts the Genesis account? It was an order of creative events listed within each earthly day period. And btw, time is part if our physical dimension, Einstein proved that. It cam be altered by gravity or speed. You...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Little Billy is confused. He does not grasp the concept of God becoming a man as Jesus implied man would not ... and still doesn't: "...Jesus Christ, who existed in the form of God,, who, as He already did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied Himself by taking...

    Understanding The 144,000

    "They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth. These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are...

    Understanding The 144,000

    Your view. I agree. Again, I am mot Pre-trib. Post -tribbers manipulate their view You must getting me mixed up with a Pre-tribber you are arguing with? Yes, that is a curious statement in the middle of the bowls, since of the Church was taken out at the 7th Trumpet. It is a message for the...

    Understanding The 144,000

    Your assumption that all the events within the Seven Bowls could happen in one day is absurd. I listed the events that surround the 7th Trumpet and the Seven Bowls. I explained why the rapture would happened at the 7th Trumpet - all based on scripture. You are grasping and things, throwing...
