    Paul never claimed Revelation 20:4 was a current reality

    If "beheading" spiritually meant "removing their head whom is Christ" (as was the case with John the Baptist, proceeding the crucifixion of Christ--a foreshadowing)...how would you then interpret the beheadings foretold of the Great tribulation? Because it does. @Truth7t7

    Sexist Laws Favoring Women

    Hey--I resemble that remark! :cool:

    Sexist Laws Favoring Women

    Indeed, it is wrong to blame those men who have not participated. In fact it potentially adds hypocrisy to the original infraction making it the greater offence. In either case, men's offence by some has been against women as well as against God, and women's offence by some has been against men...

    I believe that gay people have as much of a "choice" to be gay as you do to not sin

    That is a fair analogy, with one exception: It is true that it is our nature to sin, just as it is a fox's nature to eat quail. However, the exception with homosexuality, is that it is not our nature, making it a different type of sin. Now, having said that...yes, all sin is sin, and the...

    Sexist Laws Favoring Women

    Biblically speaking, since we have the parable of the church being the bride of Christ (as God being male and mankind all being women), such a movement of women against men...is actually against God--their own tower of Babel. Which is not to say men have not abused their role portraying God and...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    You have inspired me to start a new thread regarding the "process" vs. the "quick" of salvation and sanctification: LONGING... (The long and short of it).

    LONGING... (the long and short of it).

    We embrace the idea of the end of times, but seem to deny it by our actions. We speak of all that is included as if it were all a process, and so do the scriptures...and yet they also elude to things happening in the twinkling of an eye, even using past-tense language to suggest (or rather...

    2 Months and 1/2 Are Left Until the Two Witnesses of Revelation Appear

    According to his post 1 prediction...I suppose he has until April 6, 2023 (Nisan 15)??

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    The term "reckon" is better understood as "believe" or "take to heart." It is in this way that Jesus often asked, "Do you believe this?" or "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" The term then can also be looked at as meaning "fully committed", as if leaping from death to life...from...

    "One of those days" in Luke

    "NOTHING MYSTERIOUS?" --That is not what the scriptures say: Revelation 10:7 but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets. You almost said it, saying "the Preparation Of the...

    The folly of Preterism

    Thanks for you sincere intentions, but this is not a discussion. Strong delusion from believing a lie propagated by false preachers entered the church 2000 years ago was to come, and has come. Even so, all truth and the finish of the mystery of God was also to come, and has come. Thus, the...

    Time no longer.

    Thanks. When all is said and done, it will be known that all of these events were actually one event told and revealed separately (just as we "were" crucified with Christ, which was and is only revealed "but to each one in his own order."

    Walking in the Spirit

    Hi Marks, The greatest error regarding walking in the Spirit is that of unbelief. I mean, many read and become well educated in the scriptures and the way of God whom is spirit, but continue to turn back to the terms and ways of this world in their understanding and application of what they...

    If you have read the book of Revelation, and not understood something, you have read wisely (thoughts?)

    Indeed, "in time, God will make the book of Revelation clear", as this too has been declared to occur "when the seventh angel is about to sound"--and has now come! The book of Revelation is the synopsis of all that is written, all "the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and...

    Are there any Catholics here?

    You make a good and biblical point, as it was the counsel of Paul to "press on" "even leaving behind the elementary principles of Christ." ...And it is also written that "knowledge shall increase." Are we not to "hear what the Spirit says to the churches?" Indeed, we are.

    The folly of Preterism

    Jesus' referring to the last who would be first and the first last, does indeed have its principle in much of what is true with God. However, He was specifically referring to Israel vs. the Gentiles, which are the two folds which Christ said He must bring to the Father. Israel was first born of...

    The folly of Preterism

    I understand. What is missing, even mystifying, is that we seemingly in a manner of speaking, held in stasis while we witness the glacier-like coming (again) of Christ in the flesh bringing about His perfection through our weakness. Some would call that "waiting", but truth be known--how can...

    The folly of Preterism

    So said the Pharisees, and so you shall be counted among them.

    "One of those days" in Luke

    Good study of prophecy fulfilled. Do you know the significance of the fourteenth day and the twenty-first day and the seven days?

    Post your favorite UR verse for inspection

    All the times of this world are noted merely as "silence in heaven for about a half an hour." Is that not but a very short time?
