The Serpent was cursed to symbolize the unclean spirit of man. Not the created being outside Eve. That's why God told Israel they were forbidden to eat whatsoever goes about upon the belly (Leviticus 11:42) because that represented an unclean animal, signifying unsaved man (Acts 10:14; Acts...

Earburner, listing post numbers is not an answer. I have read your posts since this thread started, and NONE of them identifies a biblical account in which Jesus and John the Baptist jointly fulfilled the acts described in Revelation 11:3–6. Your claim requires you to answer four specific...

The sin was not existent in Eve UNTIL she "LOOKED" at the tree, desire its fruit, and rationalized God's law against eating it away. Then that lust BECAME sin! As God says of us, our own lusts is what lead to our own sin. Not the Bogey man, not a being sitting on our shoulders, not a Dragon...

Obviously, it is because you could not answer the following questions in my post: "If these Two Witnesses are literally your vision of Jesus and John the Baptist, show us where Jesus and John together exercised all these functions during the same 1,260 days of their joint prophetic testimony...

I will jump in here and clarify some misunderstanding about evil and Satan. The Bible says God creates evil. Correct! But the word evil can describe more than one thing. It can refer to wickedness and sin, or it can refer to calamity—something harmful, grievous, or bad to those who...

Yes, I can laugh because once again you respond to biblical correction by talking about my supposed “head knowledge” rather than demonstrating your interpretation from the text. Really??? Then you should also understand why those Scriptures create serious problems for your identification of...

You too, Ronald?! This is YOUR speculation presented as interpretation. :rolleyes: You say the dragon with seven heads and ten horns is symbolic, but the locusts from the bottomless pit must be literal. Then when you come to the Two Witnesses, you insist that the fire from their mouths is...

To Is that all you do... quoting Scripture, in Greek, and yet not explain how you understand it..."IF" you have a mind of Christ? LOL! Let me show you how I can do better than this, for your learning. In the context of 1 Corinthians 2, “the mind of Christ” does NOT mean that a Christian...

Ahem... Earburner, since you repeatedly appeal to interpreting Revelation “by the Mind of Christ,” let me ask you a direct question: What exactly is “the Mind of Christ”? Please define it from Scripture. What does Scripture mean when it says, “But we have the mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians...

No one is arguing against the Scriptures you quoted. I am challenging your interpretation of those Scriptures. Quoting biblical passages does not automatically prove that those passages identify John the Baptist and Jesus as the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11. That is precisely what you have...

This has nothing to do with “discrediting another member.” I am challenging your interpretation with Scripture. There is a huge difference. And yes I am "wearing" the Armour of God, Eph 6:11. It is because I believe that: 2Ti 3:16 "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for...

Ahh that is a SUGGESTION based on private intepreation, right? You think this is about the physical battle against nation Israel in the Middle East? Is that what you thinking? The Holy Spirit told you this? Sigh. Okay, why can't you go back to Luke 14 and re-read what verse 25-33 talk about...

Angels?! So now the beasts of Daniel and Revelation are literal fallen angelic beings from heaven? Where does Scripture define these beasts as angels, Jay? Chapter and verse, please. You keep telling me to let Scripture interpret Scripture, so let’s actually do that, student: Scripture...

(Yawning...) Earburner, you are simply repeating the same private interpretation without proving it from Revelation 11. Nowhere does Revelation 11 identify the Two Witnesses as Jesus and John the Baptist, nor does it say that being filled with the Holy Spirit from the womb is the qualification...

I can, but I do not believe you are ready to receive it because you lack spiritual discernment and, more importantly, the proper method of allowing Scripture to interpret Scripture rather than forcing outside events into the text. Here is the biblical problem: you have not established from...

Wow, more nonsenses. Even @LoveYeshua brought this foolish! This clearly makes the methodological issue even clearer! Jay, this is becoming a textbook example of the very problem I have been pointing out. Now you claim that the three unclean spirits like frogs in Revelation 16:13–14 are...

Jay, Jeremiah 50–51 does NOT say anything about the Gulf War of 1990–91, George W. Bush, September 11, the 2003 invasion of Iraq, or the Coalition of the Willing. Not one of those identifications appears in the text. You are doing exactly what I have been warning against: reading modern world...

Time out, Earburner, I understand that you believe you are “comparing spiritual things with spiritual.” My point is that claiming the method does not prove you have applied the method correctly. That is precisely where we differ. Scripture must interpret Scripture in harmony with its context...

Jay, please stop assuming that because I reject your interpretation, I somehow do not “allow the Scriptures to provide the answers.” That is precisely what I am doing—comparing Scripture with Scripture and allowing God’s Word to interpret its own symbols. What I am NOT doing is starting with...

Now, Jay, we are finally getting somewhere. You have "at least" clearly stated your position: the four beasts of Daniel 7 are rebellious heavenly hosts who influence mankind. Fine. Now demonstrate that interpretation from the text which you STILL have came up short! Daniel does NOT merely say...
