    Interesting work here.

    Cool. There is a program called E-sword with a lot of free commentaries to look at viewing through the chapters and verses, which it is interesting to see what Scholars have to say on the Bible. Adam Clarke, ... There was one more but I can't remember. John Gill. It is interesting to see...

    What are the detriments of hatred towards God, and others (Or just hatred alone)?

    Perhaps I am wrong in saying that can Christians hate? Well no, it is the flesh that desires to hate. It could be hating someone just cause they said anything to you, It could be hating someone just cause they have a different viewpoint, It could be hating just because you with-in yourself are...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    @wrecked. There are four viewpoints pertaining to Revelation, and a viewpoint is subjective to the individual. Futurism, Preterism, Ideaism, Spiritualism, If I remember correctly. A good study bible is Thompson Chain Reference Bible.

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    No. Also I dont know everything Preterism invovles. You could call me someone who is a Fullfilment Guy and believes everything has been fulfilled today. However, that doesn't disregard the growing and maturity of new born Christians, and their walk by the spirit which is reinforced by the...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    You're attacking a viewpoint, which is pointless. I could attack futurism but I dont, @amigo de christo. Man wish you would allow me to freely believe how I choose to see from a viewpoint. It must be a sin. And you must be the authority. See ya buddy, wont respond anymore to anything you...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    @Amigo, Those people who were waiting for Christ, were waiting for Christ, with the contents and context of the Bible my friend. Jesus is a liar, and the Apostles are a liar, if Jesus never came back in their time... You must surely realize that. It's not a fairy tale, that says in the...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    History, @wrecked. People can either investigate, or not. I tend to continue to always have this view, and people tend to reject it: but I believe it's really the truth. Despite what people may believe otherwise; which they are free to do so. If we don't love each other through the differences...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    I personally believe by faith that Jesus Christ came during the plagues that were let down upon the nation of israel while they went up in flames - and some were taken as prisoners. 1,000,000 Jewish people were killed, and I believe that he came back and was seen in the clouds during this...

    What is the purpose of being in gratitiude?

    What about the writing to the audience of Peter, who were exiled Jewish people living among gentile nations, when he wrote in his first letter them saying, 1 Peter 2:9 9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises...

    What is the purpose of being in gratitiude?

    What about praising God, do you ever had the intention with-in you by the spirit to praise God, even to sing praises to His Name, even professing his name? Hebrews 13:15 15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his...

    Faith healings don't happen anymore; can you prove otherwise? (Either the age has passed or it has not)

    Very subjective. I can't confirm or deny your experience. Begs the question those who have been duped by others, and what is real? Thank you for sharing. God speed.

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    Need to take in all the context from all three Gospels David, Matthew Chapter 22-24, Luke 17, Mark 13. Then You also need to take in to context from other letters, which indicate there day of the judgement would be coming upon the Nation of Israel, and those people were all waiting for Jesus...

    Jehovah, Yahweh, Yahava? God's Name?

    Yahweh, Jehovah, Yahava? Perhaps which ever you perfer.

    What are the detriments of hatred towards God, and others (Or just hatred alone)?

    1 John 2: 9 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister[a] is still in the darkness. Can Christians hate? Absolutely they can; they can hate just cause someone disagrees with them, or they can hate someone who may believe a different way than them in some areas, however...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    I don't believe what David in NJ believes. And nor do I find the need to assert him in a different manner considering his firm stance. It's just like atheist who says there is no God; some people become so firm on where they stand nothing can ever change their mind. That is what free-will is...

    What are the detriments of hatred towards God, and others (Or just hatred alone)?

    Proverbs 10:12 12 Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins. Love covers all sins - praise God for Jesus Christ and his love, but hatred stirs up strife. Proverbs 15:17 17 Better is a dinner of [a]herbs where love is, Than a fatted calf with hatred. It's easier to get through dinner...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    People choose what they wanna believe, and there is nothing no one can do about it. Those who seek for truth will do so... There is obvious textual context that is highly important to consider; and just cause someone disagrees or believes a differed way; doesn't mean they aren't a Christian...

    What is the purpose of being in gratitiude?

    What about in the book of 1 Samuel? 1 Samuel 14:45 45 But the people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has accomplished this great deliverance in Israel? Certainly not! As the Lord lives, not one hair of his head shall fall to the ground, for he has worked with God this day.” So the people...
