    We’re the two witnesses from the past?

    A Lamb coming to kill? Jesus tells us it is the Devil who comes to steal, kill and destroy; that's his objective. Jesus has come to give life. Jesus is not a killer.... of anyone. 'while we were yet sinners, Christ died for the ungodly' .....has it been forgotten? Has Satan convincingly...

    We’re the two witnesses from the past?

    You are locked into the literal and will defend it because you don't understand the issues which Revelation is addressing are cosmic with a mirroring here on earth spanning time and principle. Jesus and his reality are the central figures in those issues....and that's more than a mouthful in...

    Old Testament Morality

    You make valid points. The way I understand it is that God was regarded by Moses as an uber Pharaoh. The people had come out of 400yrs of slavery. The only rule they knew and logic they were familiar with was, do what the boss says or die. The principle of forgiveness was just not on the horizon...

    There is too much negativity. Let us come together for a moment to share why each of us is grateful to God!

    I'm grateful I can recognise immaturity and that I can keep my mouth shut. o_O

    Is it literal? ...You interpret these as literal but if they are not, and I'm suggesting they are not, then all the barking is misplaced.

    We’re the two witnesses from the past?

    You draw the conclusions you have because of a misunderstanding of the symbolism given. Of course if you don't identify its symbolism you are left to your imagination as to what it might all mean. The key is Jesus and knowing him.....ie, understanding these prophecies through a knowing of his...

    We’re the two witnesses from the past?

    The Lamb is coming to rescue his people. What is God's wrath? The wicked think its arbitrary punishment but in fact it is exposure to themselves; exposure of what they have so long denied. Paul tells us in Romans 1 what Gods wrath is. It is giving them over to the consequences of their...

    :) Your words sound so sure of themselves yet they only reinforce my statement which you clearly do not see. .....Anyway, you are free to see it anyway you prefer

    The potential conceit of doctrinal individuality

    with respect, but does that reflect something happening on the inside?

    T77....if you had a genuine interest we could talk about these things, however, knowing that your objective is to reinforce your own predetermined view, I have no interest in throwing my pearls. :)

    What gets in the way of your quiet time with God?

    Worshipping God in spirit and truth; these are the ones the Father seeks.....Jesus.

    We’re the two witnesses from the past?

    The context (Rev.6:12-17) determines the times this is applicable to....and from what I can tell it's referring to the return of Jesus in the clouds. A parallel scripture might be Matthew 24:30 'Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will...

    We’re the two witnesses from the past?

    All these are symbolic. The thing is, when one is locked into a paradigm which doesn't recognise it, it wont be recognised......even can't be. We could use the history and experience of the religious Jews as an example. Their view was such that even in the face of Jesus raising the dead and...

    Unity of the faith - at what cost?

    It's another trip which has nothing to do with knowing Jesus. It masquerades as sincerity which exposes itself when whatever text is offered is discounted and other scriptures weaponised.

    Can privacy hurt your witness?

    Choosing carefully who one confides in is wise. Facebook on the other hand is putting ones head in the lions mouth.

    The Spirit and the Father witness to Jesus for our sake

    We’re the two witnesses from the past?

    We are humans.....we are his witnesses......we witness to the character of God to those around us ie, if we have known him. If we are not witnessing to the character of God we witness to something else, it's usually how right we are.....and we love the glory of predicting the future as if the...

    We’re the two witnesses from the past?

    God is a consuming fire the scripture says. Love is synonymous with God 1 John tells us. It is as a consuming fire for all who love corruption. It trumps anything which is not compatible with it. When Jesus returns, the world will cry for the rocks and the mountains to fall on them. Why? Because...

    We’re the two witnesses from the past?

    'Two or three witnesses.' The language comes from the Hebrew. It was required to verify a matter. Throughout history there have always been at least two witnesses to validate and verify that which is pertinent and there will continue to be. The Spirit and the Father at Jesus baptism, Moses and...
