    Actually, it seems that there's NEVER anything someone does that is INHERENTLY CORRECT. Someone always tries to divide two opposing views down the middle and BLAME BOTH. This is wrong. People DO THE RIGHT THING, and others can't stand it. -- It was true in Jesus' time, and still true...

    Question on Jesus' Ministry timing

    When I provided a Historical account where Cyrus NEVER had a DUAL MONARCHY, but Caesar did, -- you ignored it. When I provided a Historical account where Alexander's empire was divided between FIVE GENERALS for 42 YEARS, -- you ignored it. So why should I answer what you've proven you...

    Lke 22:35 And he said to them, “When I sent you out with no purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.” 36 He said to them, “But now, let him who has a purse take it, and likewise a bag. And let him who has no sword sell his mantle and buy one. I never said you have...

    Coronavirus spreading

    One drunk driver on the freeway is one thing. HALF of the DRUNK DRIVERS on the freeway is quite different. And that's the consequence of a contagion. And what is a "plague" except the latter ... Bobby Jo

    Please allow me to correct you: Scripture doesn't fit into your faith! Lke 22:35 And he said to them, “When I sent you out with no purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.” 36 He said to them, “But now, let him who has a purse take it, and likewise a bag. And let...

    The False Doctrine of a 7-year Tribulation

    Show me ANYWHERE in Scripture or any Society where two non-incremental numbers are summed.-- I.e., a mile and a quarter, a cup and a half, four score and ten, -- are all legitimate. But there is NO PRECEDENT where a pair of shoes cost seven and sixty-two dollars. Newton said that if GOD had...

    The False Doctrine of a 7-year Tribulation

    Yep. When the "translators" of your Version (and I use the term "translators" loosely) set forth to convert Hebrew into English, they had a "Jesus Agenda", because that's what they expected these verses to convey. And although Scripture didn't support that premise, they KNEW that Dan. 9 had...

    “Take no thought”, “be not anxious”, “seek you the reign of God”

    GOD created us to have eternal life on earth. If you dispense with that aspect, then you fall into the cult of mass suicide, because apparently people can be convinced that they loose NOTHING if they move into the next realm. It's happens all the time, -- under the Jim Jones cult, under the...

    The False Doctrine of a 7-year Tribulation

    You forgot to include the messiah (anointed one) after the seven: RSV Dan. 9 25 Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built...

    Prophecy/End Times ... Teachers/Resources

    ... if they purport ancient fulfillments, then keep moving. The angel said: 12:4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” 9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed...

    Question on Jesus' Ministry timing

    Where do you see "come down"? -- It will appear in the skies. And those who are alive and remain shall ascend (be raptured) to the New Jerusalem. And so we will be with the LORD forever in the air. And over time the heavens and earth shall pass away, but the New Jerusalem shall continue for...

    The False Doctrine of a 7-year Tribulation

    The angel is not someone to be trifled with. He said: Dan. 12:4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” 9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of...

    The False Doctrine of a 7-year Tribulation

    Yep! People are BAD AT USING NUMBERS. But that's OK, we can always find excuses/rationalizations/justifications for doing what Scripture DOESN'T SUPPORT if we simply CONTRIVE/CONTORT/DISTORT SCRIPTURE. Whew, Bobby Jo

    Coronavirus spreading

    What would happen if something even MORE SERIOUS should happen. What would you do if you COULDN'T BUY OR SELL? Do you have provisions in your household to get through some number of weeks/months, or would you succumb to ACCEPTING the Mark Of The Beast? And what about when a quart of wheat...

    The False Doctrine of a 7-year Tribulation

    Numbers from one instance don't necessarily apply to a different instance. I.e., the 153 fish, does not necessarily conclude that there are 153 disciples though out history. There are NO 153 of ANYTHING, except fish. And so too the number seven. It's not UNIVERSAL, but neither the 153 or the...

    The False Doctrine of a 7-year Tribulation

    ...and apparently Jesus had a brother: RSV Dan. 9:25 Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again with squares and...

    The False Doctrine of a 7-year Tribulation

    ... NOT what the literal text allows -- the Unusual INCONCISE Masculine Gender text is found ONLY in the 9th Chapter of Daniel, and nowhere else in Scripture. But maybe if you cut the toes off the step-sisters, the glass slipper will fit. ... And maybe surgically carve some off the "heel"...

    Question on Jesus' Ministry timing

    Perhaps you should start in "history" where men travel some 60 to 600 mph, and we have INSTANT KNOWLEDGE literally at our finger tips. Or just throw darts. -- They're just as accurate if not MORE ACCURATE for you! ;) Bobby Jo

    The False Doctrine of a 7-year Tribulation

    Yeah, there are a LOT of things in the Bible I'm just too lazy to digest. I don't think I'm missing anything important, because if it were important I'm quite confident that GOD would have taken the time and effort to put it his HIS Word. Need more milk ... Bobby Jo
