    World Alert: 10 Trends point to the End

    We are close. Although I see a bit different scenario, many things mentioned in this study are true and happening. It is the interpretation of events that I differ with, not the events. 1. A Middle East peace plan that allows for the Temple to be rebuilt. I guess this alone would fuel God's...

    The FIRST by WATER; The SECOND by FIRE: Global Thermonuclear War, -- NOT by Some Mythical CME

    Nope. The first resurrection occurs prior to the Millennial Kingdom (likely 1/3 of the population). There are survivors of the Great Tribulation who repopulate the earth. Jesus is King, up close and personal and all the nations are filled with Christians who worship Him and visit Him...

    The FIRST by WATER; The SECOND by FIRE: Global Thermonuclear War, -- NOT by Some Mythical CME

    End if the world system, not the earth. The first resurrection takes place after the tribulation of the events in days that were mentioned. I would place that time period after the events of the Seals and the Trumpets.

    The FIRST by WATER; The SECOND by FIRE: Global Thermonuclear War, -- NOT by Some Mythical CME

    So says the Amillennials That's correct, after the 1000 years. The scriptures you posted pertain to two different time periods. You ignore prophesy about Jesus' kingdom with Him literally ruling on David's throne..See if you can find those scriptures? The Great Tribulation will include fire...

    Did God Give His Only Son? Fresh Look @ John 3:16

    I answered your post. You look right at scripture and can't see that Jesus pre-existed with the Father. You entirely ignored Post #11..All those scriptures you ignore and just cannot see there meaning because you do not have the Holy Spirit. You also deny this person, the Comforter, the Helper...

    Did God Give His Only Son? Fresh Look @ John 3:16

    Therein lies the lie. "And now You, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world existed." NASB

    How does a husband wash his wife with the water of the word?

    "A metaphor is a figure of speech that uses symbolism. It compares two things that aren't similar and proves they actually have something in common. In a metaphor, there is an additional meaning to a word. This makes it an example of symbolism" Dictionary

    Mistake in Translation - Galatians 5:17

    I am not belittling you. None of my posts are about you only that I think the capital S is where it supposed to be. You know some of this discussion about the soul and spirit has confounded scholars. It's advanced, and actually not fully understood by anyone. We know in part. Some things are...

    Did God Give His Only Son? Fresh Look @ John 3:16

    The verse is self explanatory and furthermore the context supports it. Jesus is speaking to His Father as He is dying on the Cross, asking Him to glorify His Son as He was glorified before the foundation of the world ... a d after He died, rise from the dead and ascended, the Father granted...

    How does a husband wash his wife with the water of the word?

    These two statements are contradictions. Lol you can't make your mind? I hold to my explanation. Yours goes off on a tangent > brides ritual bath ... nuptial ceremony ...? Stick with he context. We are to love our wives like Christ loves the Church, sacrifices for her and sanctifies her. We love...

    Did God Give His Only Son? Fresh Look @ John 3:16

    The physical baby Jesus was born, created. But God's Spirit was not. He pre-existed with the Father. "And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was." John 17:5 You are blind. It is right there and you cannot see it. Don't be like...

    The FIRST by WATER; The SECOND by FIRE: Global Thermonuclear War, -- NOT by Some Mythical CME

    Total destruction by fire occurs at the end of the Millennial Kingdom, not before. A global nuclear war would leave the planet uninhabitable. I think the destruction by fire destroys the first heaven and first earth as we see in 2 Pet. 3:10. If He was going to do that during the Great...

    Did God Give His Only Son? Fresh Look @ John 3:16

    Here comes a few slam dunks ...! "Who existing in the form of God did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness." Phil. 2;6, 7 He did not expect us to grasp this concept of Him being God. It would take...

    Did God Give His Only Son? Fresh Look @ John 3:16

    You would in error concerning the most important event in history A blood sacrifice is required to atone for sins, it was in the OT as well. His blood and death were physical. His Spirit did not die. Proof of this is simply He is God, but even uf yiu dont believe that, He said to the crucified...

    Did God Give His Only Son? Fresh Look @ John 3:16

    We have two nature's, the spirit, which is the invisible you ( if you have been born again - otherwise you are dead) AND our physical body. Jesus physical body was given for the blood sacrifice His body died and was resurrected on the third day. His spirit did not die. God the Son, emptied...

    How does a husband wash his wife with the water of the word?

    Water is symbolic for the Holy Spirit. Christ cleansed (baptized) His church with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit also sanctified us. So we are to sanctify our wives, iron out out all the wrinkles, remove the blemishes in the same way as we do our won bodies. God is actually sanctifying us but...

    Up is down. Black is white. Grace precedes faith.

    God's grace means unmerited favor. I think of it as His love and blessings that fall on us. He is gracious, He gives gifts, He provides for us. Grace includes a wide spectrum of everything good that comes from God. Faith is one of those gifts. So He gives us things because Hebia gracious...

    Mistake in Translation - Galatians 5:17

    That is true. We see that with drugs and alcohol abuse. What amazes me is the effects on the mind caused by a mere capital "S".

    Mistake in Translation - Galatians 5:17

    Didn't address this earlier, it is important to discuss, For the purpose of outward consumption, and not that you aren't aware of this but what is referred to as the flesh is not just the physical body. Our mind, will and emotions are considered part of our freshly existence _ tainted with sin _...
