    "Not my God. Not my Jesus."

    This goes deeper than simple theology, what we learn at Bible school, seminary, or at church. Jesus said... KJV Matthew 7:21-23 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to...

    The Investigative Judgement

    The annual cycle of ceremonies, feasts, holy days and sacrifices in the OT all formed one single process of atonement. The daily sacrifice was incomplete without the Day of Atonement at the end. And because those things were a type of the true, then we must expect that the cross of Calvary was...

    The Investigative Judgement

    God forbid that He would want to send a warning message to a dying church a short time before He comes. So unlike God right? "Shall we sin that grace may abound? God forbid!" And yet even you are not sure what is true and what is false. I also have a history in the Pentecostal movement. I've...

    Q for JW- KIEW?

    @Keiw KJV Isaiah 40:3 3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Speaking of John the Baptist, Matthew said... KJV Matthew 3:3 3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice...

    Q for JW- KIEW?

    Yes, brought forth His only begotten Son, God in nature and essence. What else, in being begotten of the Father, could He be? The angels were not begotten. We are not begotten of God. Only Jesus. Unique. Alone. Begotten of the Father in eternity and sent to earth to become a man. "For God so...

    Q for JW- KIEW?

    Agreed. But that is not what we are talking about. That doesn't make the Son any less the true Son, and being the true Son of the Father, inherited all the attributes of the Godhead including His Father's name.

    Q for JW- KIEW?

    But nowhere are they described in the same manner as Jesus described His own beginning in a discussion with the rulers of the nation He challenged their claim to be Abraham's children, as they challenged His claim to be the Son of God. They knew He wasn't talking about being a child of God such...

    The 144,000 before God at the end.

    I agree that a death penalty is pronounced globally against those who refuse the mark. I also believe that the angst and bitter hatred against those dissenters will be so intense, that once the death penalty is pronounced against them, it will actually be the general public who will attempt to...

    The 144,000 before God at the end.

    Sadly, family members could very well become our most dangerous enemies in those final days. We aren't going to be hanging around town during the time of the mark of the beast. We may not be able to hide from government, but we can at least place ourselves in a place of safety from the civil...

    Q for JW- KIEW?

    A Child in His own image, after His own kind.

    Q for JW- KIEW?

    KJV Genesis 1:26 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

    Q for JW- KIEW?

    No, it is not. Our bringing forth offspring, is a process by which we pass on our DNA, our very being, an image of ourselves and one like us of the same species, for like begets like. Creation is the making of something different to oneself, out of nothing. Jesus was not created. He came forth...

    Q for JW- KIEW?

    Interesting answer. I do notice though you still haven't actually addressed the texts I gave. I agree though that Jesus is God's Son. I am a man. I have 3 sons. Guess what. They are also men. What do you suppose the Son of God would be other than what His Father is? What do you think express...

    2 Questions, posing intriguing answers... But not perhaps for this thread. Not trying to prove anything, just being a brakelite to make people pause and think.

    Euphrates drying up, what will happen? However the order of the bowl judgements seems not to fit in our understanding

    As you said. The river is symbolic. Babylon is symbolic. Whatt did the river mean to Babylon when the city was intact? It was a source of revenue and life. It was a vehicle by which Babylon traded. It was integral to the survival of the city. Now spiritual Babylon the Great will also need the...

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    It is only preterist thought of theentire vision was assumed to be fulfilled in thefirst century. At no time did phoneman suggest such an idea. Please read carefully. Historicism clings to the belief that prophecy began to be fulfilled from the time the prophecy was given, except in cases where...

    The 144,000 before God at the end.

    And such was beautifully fulfilled when Israel rejected their Messiah and through their rejection prompted the gospel to be carried to the gentiles. KJV Acts 13:46-47 46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but...

    The 144,000 before God at the end.

    You misunderstand the character of God. He is not an arbitrary tyrant causing people to be lost just to gratify His craving for glory. Those blinded are the victims of their own choices, and God, for whatever role He plays in their ignorance, knows their future and by His action would not alter...

    Q for JW- KIEW?

    That kind of response is evidence that you are refusing to actually read my posts. I wasn't discussing Psalm 110.1, although I of course have no argument with your reasoning. But Jesus's quote of palm 110 wasn't in the context of proving Himself as God or deity, but challenging the Pharisees on...
