    I agree. But that term 'rapture' could be the second coming when KJV 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain...

    WHO IS GOD.................?

    The silence of God. In our discussions regarding the Godhead, the one thing we need to remember is that there cannot be found in Scripture any explanation of how the Father, Son and Holy Spirit have their existence together. This is why we should be very guarded not to make any attempt to...

    WHO IS GOD.................?

    Interesting isn't it, that the "Catholic faith" likes to speak about Christ's suffering, His exemplary life, His birth and resurrection, and the need for having faith in those things, but not one word about having faith in the shed blood and death of Christ.

    I don't doubt Israel will be playing a significant role in the last days. As will every other nation on the planet. But prophecy, and understanding and recognizing the major players in the unfolding of Revelation, have already been revealed through the symbolism and time clues and criteria that...

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    But that's not what I was saying is it. That's what you are attempting to intimate. "All the ways in which they are not equal"? I'm not talking about His human nature. I'm talking about His divine nature which He temporarily covered with His human nature and refused to use to His own advantage...

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    Creating a being and sacrificing that which you speak into existence, is a long long way from sacrificing a part of yourself, begotten of the same nature and substance, such as Abraham was willing to do...a type of the sacrifice God made for us.

    This may come as a surprise to you, but this topic isn't actually about doctrine. It's about knowing and understanding who God is....

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    Oh, totally agree, my experience also, but the transaction I was thinking of was the Son's own transaction in exchanging His former nature for which he sacrificed and taking upon Himself the nature of man.

    So who are these folk... KJV 1 Thessalonians 4:15 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep . 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    Where does the authority originate for Sunday sacredness as a Christian tradition?

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    Protestantism never fully came out from under papal authority. Protestant churches still obey Catholic traditions that supercede biblical "thus sayeth the Lord". After 25 years, ‘Evangelicals and Catholics Together’ still matters...

    Yes. Only begotten of God.

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    It makes Him equal in all things except rank. No need to cloud the truth of that statement. And for a time, as Philippians 2 says, Jesus set aside all His divine attributes in order to become subject to death, taking upon Himself man's fallen nature.

    The word monogenes translated as begotten, is used in relation to parent child relationships. Sorry I didn't make that clear. Hope I'm correct in that though.

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    Please do not assume I am defending the creedal version of the trinity. I am defending the true Sonship of Jesus, a Sonship that by the counsel and power and word of the Father, made Jesus equal to the Father in all things except rank. That rank, the submission of the Son to the Father, is by...

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    Col 1:15____He is the First-born of every creature This verse doesn't use the word arche, but prototokos, which literally means the first born child. Prototokos, is only translated firstborn or firstbegotten and occurs only sixother times in the NT. Heb 1:6 When God brought the firstbegotten...

    Yes. And the reason for the building of the Tabernacle was so God could "tabernacle" with His people. "Let them make Me Sanctuary, that I may dwell with them". That sanctuary is now you. And the church at large, if indeed Christ is in you, the hope of glory. KJV Romans 8:9-10 9 But ye are not in...
