    Inconsistency of Christians never being sinless

    This is indeed a great misunderstanding. But to be clear, being "double hearted" is one kind of problem, and being (as with Paul) double in body and heart, the one waring with the other, is another problem entirely. In Paul's example, in his heart he was not at war, but only that his new heart...

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    It does indeed sound like you are advocating for a perfectly lived life. History is surely repeating itself. Yet it would be better to confess as Paul did, that although it was in his heart to do what is perfect, that he "did not do." Meaning, that no, we do not attain perfection in our flesh...

    Do you believe that ALL babies that die go to Heaven or only "the elect"?

    To clarify...No, all babies do not go to heaven. According to the explanation given in the record of creation by God, each creation is created "after their kind." Meaning, that if Adam and Eve had not sinned, Yes, each baby born to them would have been born without sin. But that is not the...

    Christian Anti Aging

    No, but the wheat and the tares both live and die under the same judgment ("the wages of sin is death"). This is why Jesus (the salvation of the world) came preaching that we must be "born again"-- that is, if we are to live longer or "forever" we must put out our "hand and take also of the...

    Thoughts on Comparing Translations in Bible Study

    It doesn't matter. It is of course a good study to understand the issues of translations. Thank you. Yet it is more important to understand that regardless of any and all of these issues God's word is His providence alone...and not that of the translators. In other words, all translation...

    Will Trump seek asylum in Israel and Build the 3rd Temple?

    No...but he is taking part in other prophecy, namely, the dividing of the sheep from the goats and the gathering of the wheat and tares...make straight the way of the Lord.

    The SIGNS = Matthew 24;3-8

    The problem of knowing or not knowing the signs, is that most base their theories and beliefs and doctrines on what they do not see, while the things that are true are spiritual for the most part and not seen. Thus, it is the blind that have led the blind for all these years since Jesus...

    Most Prophecy Teachers Clearly Reject God's Word!

    Yeah, sorry, the folding again can be as misunderstood as the unfolding. The evil men came as a result of the fall. Peter explained it this way: "But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies...

    Most Prophecy Teachers Clearly Reject God's Word!

    Because apparently you need clarification. Example: Did everything that God wanted to be good and very good go wrong against His plans? Your narrative seems to suggest that it did, as if the one bad apple or lump that spoiled everything was unplanned, as if God were powerless to stop it, and...

    Prophecy and History

    Unfortunately, much of what is actually true is only fully understood after the fact...that is, after the enactment of revealing. What I was saying was to be a reminder of that fact...as it is written: "Make the heart of this people dull, And their ears heavy, And shut their eyes; Lest they see...

    Most Prophecy Teachers Clearly Reject God's Word!

    You are apparently not fully hearing the Spirit. Yes, the holy land is a physical place-- but so was the Temple, and yet it was only a foreshadowing of the body of Christ, not to be fulfilled again by stones, but by the Spirit. Likewise, the holy land is not to be fulfilled by physical land...

    Most Prophecy Teachers Clearly Reject God's Word!

    A little slack is good. But it would be a mistake to think that any or every word of [actual] scripture is corrupted or contradictory to other scripture. Contradictions are simply the result of a lack of understanding and mistranslation. It is important to give God credit for being God and...

    Most Prophecy Teachers Clearly Reject God's Word!

    Just don't think to imagine that even one jot or tittle was and is not intentionally and exactly according to the guiding hand of God under His providence and for purpose. As it is written: "A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps."

    Prophecy and History

    There are a lot of this kind of belief and interpretation that has come down through the last 2,000 years. In reality, just as Jesus was slain before the foundation of the world and only manifest in the world as a relatively small local event, all things written are likewise only manifest in...

    What is Heresy?

    Anyone is capable of seeing and calling out error. But it is true that a non-Christian is not capable of speaking to what they do not believe or understand (any more than someone who has never experienced any number of things--never been kissed, etc.).

    What is Heresy?

    The mob manifests and enforces according to their own evil being revealed. This is the man of sin revealed--even among the people of God.

    Most Prophecy Teachers Clearly Reject God's Word!

    Oh :( before you move-- I hope you will come to understand that the "promised land" was only the object of foreshadowing and not the subject of its fulfillment. If it were not so...perhaps you also should eat lamb and drink its blood at every meal. But I am only being facetious because you have...

    Most Prophecy Teachers Clearly Reject God's Word!

    Both are correct statements. That is, the Bible is a compilation of what was inspired and allowed by God according to His purpose and of His providence rather than man's. The fact that the Bible includes error simply shows the accurate path by which all things have come about...which is not to...

    Most Prophecy Teachers Clearly Reject God's Word!

    Paul's account as stated is according to what "Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this." In other words it's simply according to rumor. All that this means or is evidence of is that God has used or allowed hear say (or as Jesus put it "It is as you say"), to be a part of scripture as an accurate...

    The 70 Weeks Prophecy - The Ezra 6:14 Challenge

    You are analyzing the tail of the dog (what did you hope to find?). I gave you the head.
