God is sovereign. I am well aware that Satan cannot do anything without His permission. Of course God allows evil to accomplish Hus purpose. You keep arguing against the Pre-Trib view with me - I am not a Pre-Trib. I am Mid-Trib/Pre-wrath. The 7th Trumpet is when the Rapture occurs. The...

That is the Post-Trib view, that the rapture occurs on the last day of the GT. So if as you say, He comes on the last day and takes one and leaves another. What happens to the one left? No suffering, no wrath? What? He just comes on the last day and destroys them? What about Armageddon, when...

True. The question we should ask is: Will the Holy Spirit allow a born again Christian to be led astray by false doctrines that will somehow invalidate the work He has done and sealed? No. Unbeleievers will be led astray. But I don't believe that God will lose any of His intended sheep. We may...

I don't agree with the Pre-Trib rapture for many reasons, but I would not say it is from the Devil. Satan's career has been to keep people away from Jesus, creating all sorts of religions, philosophies and atheism. He dies not want people to have faith about anything in the Bible and wants us to...

Your initial premise is incorrect to idenity logos with God's voice. You fail to see that the Word was not only with God but was God. Jesus is God, He is the Creator (Col. 1:16, 17). Logos is the exact illumination, essence and expression of God. I have a voice, but my voice isn't the totality...

Heathen nations should take quite some time to develop. Why? Because sin, evil, Satan and his horde had just suffered a massive defeat. All you will see is GOOD for a long time. Inititially_ in the beggining of the MK _ all peoples on earth _ in every nation _ will be believers. Non-believers...

"After the tribulation of those days" doesn't mean after the entire GT. It just means after those days/ events previously mentioned. The next verse proves the tribulation continues. There are 1290 days. I lean towards the Mid-trib view and that the rapture happens at the 7th trumpet, which is...

I think keeping the Feast of Tabernacles will be as a memorial to all who will be living im tents when the worldwide quake destroys all buildings. I doubt animals will be sacrificed. The only sacrifice left is praise. Jesus fulfilled all the Law and so He was the final sacrifice. It would be an...

Romans 11 and Rev. 7:5-8 confirms that this is the remnant Jewish population who become Chrisitians. Since (IMHO) Rev. 11:15 is the last trumpet when we are resurrected, evidenced by appearance of the multitude in heaven, we can see that Revelation is not in chronological order. We are shown...

This is more important than a spell check problem ... If I don't take my Hydroplenish (hyaluronic acid with biocell collegen by Natures Way) my hands will cramp up, my back and knees will suffer within days - due to arthritis! I've been taking it for years - that is my natural remedy...

The "not yet" refers to heaven and our resurrection. We are sanctified but not yet fully redeemed/glorified.

Judgment Day will soon be upon many nations who come against Jerusalem specifically and for the entire world as well. A remnant Jewish population will be saved and the rest judged for rejecting Christ. (See Romans 11) As for the Palestinians and all Islamic nations, they are enemies tonthe Jews...

Yes, I lean towards this idea of isolating yourself away from the world, away from it's evil is more of a selfish empty spiritual pursuit. We are to pray without ceasing. That doesn't mean we should close ourselves off to commune only with God. A monk that goes off on a spiritual journey all by...

Sounds about right. My Pastor used to say "We have entered into the already but not yet state of sanctification."

No, you have been forgiven yours sins. Your spirit is pure. If you were to die today, Jesus would present you to the FATHER spotless, white as snow. It is our flesh wherein sin dwells. He is not punishing you or delaying such a marriage/ mate. Your desires may not be what is best for you at this...

There are those with weak faith, but it is still faith. I think your brother believes the gospel and Jesus' promise that he will be saved and go to heaven when he dies. That's faith. To some, it stops there. Faith that things will work out in this corrupt world is where his doubts lie. Life...

Excellent post. Early on in my Christian walk, I struggled with forgiveness. My argument was that God does not forgive us unless we ask for it - so I would use that condition. But that is not what Jesus said, He said forgive your brother 70 × 7 times. We can still try to counter that with: Well...

On a basic level, since God is Holy, we are to be holy. He is making us holy but we won't reach that perfection until we either die and are ressurected. What will be our state, make-up, character? Good ... separate from evil. Everything that good is, is holy, always separate from evil. So we...

We are saved by Grace _ from God _ not by works of our own or works of others. God does work through others, so His love flows through them. This is what I hope you mean. Actions do speak louder than words, although faith comes by the Word, so the Word has to be there. An evangelist once told me...

Not very compelling. There is nothing of substance before the Day of the Lord argument and that happens to support the Mid-Trib view. The Day of the Lord is most likely announced at the last trumpet (#7), the day He arrives and takes us home. The Mystery is also revealed at that time which...
