Thanks for weighing in Hillsage. I tend to see events of the Flood and Sodom and Gomorrah as types where there is finality for some and rescue for others. Forgiveness I see is for all mankind but not all want it; not all care for the principles of the Kingdom of God. The option the majority...

It is assumed Salvation is all about us being saved. While the redemption of humanity (some will debate this) is the result of God's activity, I think we err when we make it all about us. I reflect on what the scriptures mean by, 'the lamb slain from the foundation of the World'? Wasn't the lamb...

He does discover new lies and the most potent are the ones he hides in what people believe is the word of God like for instance when Jesus pointed this out, he said, 'You have heard said an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth but I say unto you, do not resist an evil man' or 'you have heard...

Wow, you've got quiet a story happening in your head! Admittedly, there are many who claim great insight which becomes obvious as not being the case when one listens to the rambling but to conclude what nondescript 'others' are concluding is just a cheap shot at what one doesn't understand.

if thats what you've concluded about what I believe then your 'clarity' is very dim......and I would like to add re your comment of 'we're done'; don't you think that's a reflection of a certain unwillingness to discover new, unfamiliar and wonderful truths you are clearly unfamiliar with?

All who have ever believed the gospel throughout human history have been persecuted on some level starting with Able

You have engaged intellectual dishonesty in how you have quoted Hebrews in regard to Enoch, David

Yes, what was their testimony? I'll let those who think they know who the witnesses are witness to that, then we can ask further questions on their testimony.

Could the Old Testament writers have been mistaken in many of their conclusions about God. Is there courage to explore this?

now that's a smart question!

The questions asked take on a different emphasis, a different nature after having met Jesus. One questions from the crucifixion, the other from the resurrection. One formulates questions from death, the other from life One from darkness, the other from lightness. One from before the wheel was...

We’re the two witnesses from the past? The words 'witness' and 'past' are inextricably linked. Have you ever known a witness to be from the future? If you were in a court setting (meaning, the is an accuser, a defence and witnesses) and you opted for a witness from the future, you'd be thrown...

God is definitely not pouring out judgements in the way it is generally understood. And how is it generally understood? That God is so p.ssed he needs to let his revenge be felt. Why is this the commonly understood view by the religious? because they have not understood the nature of our God...

If a matter is opaque in the original text and you were the interpreter, you would interpret it according to your paradigm. The same principle applies to any who interpret. Is it any wonder there are misunderstandings by the readers?

The problem is in peoples understanding of history, ancient culture, inspiration and the influences the writers of what we deem today as scripture came to be. The problem is not the Bible.

We’re the two witnesses from the past? they usually are aren't they?
