    About the Signs of the Second Coming of Jesus

    Didn't say that. I think most of the 2.65 billion Christians will be saved. That is 1/3 of the planet. Parables dont necessarily give real data. Parables don't mention specific details like names of people or specific numbers, they are just allegorical. So symbolically the five virgins aren't...

    About the Signs of the Second Coming of Jesus

    "Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps."...

    Wow, what an interesting testimony. It appears that God has gifted you with prophecy and discernment of evil spirits ... But not a gift of judgement - don't think anyone has that except God. I am sure that all Nuns or Priests in the RCC are NOT hypocrites. I think they need to he given credit to...

    Do you? Because stars, a billion times the size of earth can't fall to earth. "And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind." Rev. 6:13 Maybe you want to rethink that one? As for your judgmental attitude, people who typically...

    Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

    Baptized means to be immersed into as in water. But water baptism is symbolic for being immersed into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Being in Christ is being baptized in His name. Water doesn't save anyone, it is just an outward physical expression, A public...

    I know and am close to Jehovah Witnesses, I have family members whom I love and love me in return. As a born again Christian for 30 years and a Berian at heart, I have addressed many of the misinterpretations and have also offered corrections to no avail. But I will tell you for certain I have...

    Frederick Franz translates the Bible in the 1950's. He had two years of Greek and I'm a court of law could not translate one sentence in Hebrew. The New World Translation is not accepted as a valid version. Scholars claim it is the only version created to conform to a particular belief system. I...

    Interesting, why would God redeem the earth for 1000 years then destroy it? Sin and evil will be put down for that timw period and then released agai. But sure,g the Millennial Kingdom, the lion will lay with the lamb, wolves with sheep,m and babies playing near a cobra's den. That would be at...

    That was the Lord, in theological terms, a Christophany. Glad you brought up that scripture.

    Barney, I have told you several times before, ask Sheriff Andy, he'll set you straight. Maybe that is what is missing in your life, a more mature, educated brother to come alongside you and be patient and get yiu on the right path - like Andy has always been.

    That paragraph was just a hypothetical situation btw. What a strange post. I have not experienced a theophany, only a few have. I was passing on an explanation that I have learn from RC Sproul and others. You can look up the word in the dictionary, you should be able to understand - they are all...

    You are right, He is not. The angel of the Lord is a manifestation not of Him, just of an angel for us to see

    Thoughting again!....oh no, is that allowed?

    I agree with you that angels and prophets spoke God's word, but that was not what I was trying to convey. You agreed with my post as if you understood it, then went into angels and prophets speak the word of God but are not God. I was trying to distinguish the difference between a theophany and...

    Thoughting again!....oh no, is that allowed?

    Don't agree with me when you don't understand what I am saying. A theophany or Christophany is not the same as an angel, like Michael or Gabriel. A visitation by an angel, of which there may be several hundred million btw, is not the same as a visitation by the Lord Himself, manifesting himself...

    Thoughting again!....oh no, is that allowed?

    A theophany is a physical manifestation of God in an human form. The angel of the Lord appeared for the purpose of man to see an image, since God is invisible and so God himself spoke through this manifestation as in the burning bush as in other visitations as well. Examine this verse. God is...

    Again, I am talking about how God has guided mankind. I am not one to bash Catholics. They have faith in Jesus, the Son of God. I don't recall seeing any statues of Michael ... at least they know who Jesus is.

    I don't know. Remember Jesus did not regard equality with God something to be grasped ... to this day!

    I'm talking about the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We see throughout history how He has guided us - praise God. We are right on course ... well most of us.

    Exactly, it is degrading and a dishonor to the Son. If you dishonor the Son, you dishonor the Father. And if we were wrong, wouldn't the Holy Spirit correct some 95+ % of Chrisitans?

    You may be the straw man and you know what happens if you balspheme the Holy Spirit? You get fired. Archangel is an angel - but you can be in denial with all the rebuttals that have been given to you. A parrot would be able to recognize Michael, he got wings too. I think you should get a pet...
