@marks, Patrick has trouble with the word "everybody" as used in scripture. He is applying the literal meaning that everybody means everybody, with no exceptions. The king of England is the king of "everybody" in the British Empire, but not everybody in the British Empire accepts King Charles...

Well, that has been my impression from what I have read from his posts that Mathew has a heart for the lost.. I am letting God be God with respect to Matthew's beliefs and letting God sort him out. All that anyone of us can do is to encourage the people we rub shoulders with on this forum to...

@Jack, @MatthewG Jack, Matthew is a preterist and believes that most if not all biblical prophecy has already been fulfilled and as such, he believes that Satan has already been overcome. We all have our quirks with regards to what we believe. We need to sometimes give grace to others who do...

I understand your concerns about tithing, but the reality is that tithing is just a fancy name for giving to God. How a person gives/tithes to God is between that person and God. My example is that my wife and I give 5% of our income divided between two churches and nearly another 20% during...

@Wynona I still stand by what I wrote above in my previous post in this thread. You need advice but the picture is bigger than what you have asked help for: - Relatives believe that they have a right to give advice. It sounds like you and your husband need to set the boundaries that the...

Perhaps you are not that versed in what the scriptures actually say. After spending time meditating on the Parables of the Talents and the Minas, it was easy to draw the conclusion from what has been recorded in both parables that the man who goes away for a time is a reference to Satan. Rev...

Marriage: - never give up on what God has joined together. There was a reason for God to put you both together. The relationship dynamic between you and your husband has radically been impacted through the birth of your daughter and there is a need for you all to start normalising your dynamic...

There are many on this forum that should refrain from "teaching" about the end times because they have not grasped the prophetic words that God has written into the scriptures at all. It is for this reason that confusion reign on this forum re the End Times.

Where is the clag glue we can use to paper over the cracks in the wall of arguments that passes to and fro between members. How important is the Ezra 6:14 challenge? Do we need it so as we can squabble over it to show who is more righteous in their understanding of its relevance in the...

How about that Satan has the lead role in the Parables of the Talents and the Minas. Satan has convinced people to claim that it is Jesus that goes away for a time before he returns. That Jesus gives His servants money to corrupt the people around them. A claim that is often used by the...

Davy, I am not sure that your understanding of Revelation 20:9 is strictly correct. I would favour that Revelation 20:9 speaks of Satan and his army going all over the face of the earth and surrounding/challenging, figurately the "barracks"/bases of the saints' beliefs as well as occupying the...

Goodbye. Sweet dreams in the bye and bye

You might be right, but I do know this, that God's prophetic words will come to pass in the sequence that he has allotted for them. I also believe that my timeline is reasonably aligned with God's. Goodbye. Sweet dreams in the bye and bye.

Have it your way. Be the expert you want to be, but I will not follow you or your leading in this area. Goodbye

You are right. Many a person on the internet present wild ideas with no scriptural backing. It would seem that you are a preterist in your understanding and as such you dismiss every other point of view. In fact, I believe that your interpretations of End Times does not fit God's prophecies...

One of the places that Armageddon is mentioned is in Rev 16:12-16. The three frog like spirits goes out from Satan, the Beast and the False Prophet to do signs and wonders that the whole world will see so as to draw the kings of the earth to Armageddon. The signs and wonders occurred on...

I am sorry, that I did not understand that you were referring to events that will occur before the tribulation period at the end of the seventh age. Your words only created confusion for me because it did not differentiate the events prior to the tribulation from the time of the tribulation and...

So be it. You are entitled to your POV. I have expressed my POV. My POV is not based on a near future pre-trib rapture. The duration of the signs and wonders is over a period of three and a half ages where an age has the same duration as a time. At the moment we are approaching the two and...

Matt 25 can be broken down into three parts. The first part is what will happen at the beginning of the seventh age in the parable of the Ten Virgins. The third part is what will happen at the end of the age with the judgement of those who call Jesus "Lord, Lord," in the Parable of the...

Actually, Daniel in chapter 12 states that the tribulation at the end of the seventh age will be 1,290 days long. But why are we being concerned about an event that is going to happen in the distant future. What we should be worrying about is our relationship with God in the here and now and...
