    why can we eat animals.

    You make that sound like it is wise to circumvent the times which God as shortened for our good. Which is not to say eating healthy and eating less meat is not good--but you seem to be suggesting that He only did what He has done for the foolish to die young. I would suggest that eating heathy...

    Faith-based tattoo: as a result of one, did you ever talk with someone? (Poll included)

    I am not really against tattoos...I just don't prefer it. I am sure there are those who don't prefer things I do prefer. In that mix, I personally do not recommend tattoos if asked--or rhubarb. But it's just a choice, a preference. :)

    "Apart From Sin"

    Your understanding is tainted with the errors and teachings of men--not biblical. Biblically, the times of the gentiles began after Israel rejected and crucified Christ, whom He referred to as yet to come, saying, "And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and...

    Amillennialism versus Dispensationalism

    Because a shadow of things to come, in and of itself is nothing, but only points to what is to come. This is why Jesus clarified, saying, "Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in...

    When we see things BEGIN to happen -Rapture

    That is the problem of taking the parable imagines in which even we were created, which God uses to reveal all things in bringing darkness to light before the judgement, as if they were literal according to the elementary thinking of men who in His eyes are children. But that is exactly what...

    Speak for yourself. Obviously, you are.

    Why Do The Elect Need to Be Persuaded?

    Yes, most of us feel that way, and it is a nice notion...however, He makes both the wheat and the tares: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things. Isaiah 45:7

    When we see things BEGIN to happen -Rapture

    My point is, you seemed to make an issue of the garden "ascending"...but that is not what the scriptures say. Nonetheless, there is much to be learned from the language. For that reason I explained: Why east? Why was Adam sent out of the garden eastward? Now you know.

    When we see things BEGIN to happen -Rapture

    Well, that makes you unbiblically wrong-- Because He is here. But speak for yourself. He is reigning, and we reign with Him. Just as His suffering on the cross was victory, we now (not later) suffer in that same victory--because He reigns, because He overcame the world and was given all power...

    When we see things BEGIN to happen -Rapture

    Here...this is the answer from John: Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 1 John 3:2 But because you are not getting it..."now" means then, then when...

    Why Do The Elect Need to Be Persuaded?

    No...it was an explanation. Here is another: From the beginning God has been completely upfront and honest about the fact that we are a mere image compared with His own reality--the reality. In other words, we are like sketches--some get framed and some go in the trash. Completely...

    Why Do The Elect Need to Be Persuaded?

    It is as He has said: We are mere creations, clay. What potter keeps all his creations, good and evil? And who would find contradiction in keeping some, and destroying the rest? ...However...like Geppetto-- the One He loves He makes into a real boy ;)

    When we see things BEGIN to happen -Rapture

    Woe. But if that evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ Matthew 24:48

    When we see things BEGIN to happen -Rapture

    It is not funny that you did not hear Him in spirit. And that continues to be your position, defending the undiscerned word.

    When we see things BEGIN to happen -Rapture

    You are not listening, nor have you heard what I have said correctly. I didn't say I "think." You falsely accuse me, and only hear part of what is written. But, as I said, it's enough--you do not acknowledge the return and the spiritual presence of Jesus having come "quickly" into those whom He...

    "Apart From Sin"

    Yes, fine. It's just that you went on, and because you did, so did I. ;)

    "Apart From Sin"

    Very close--thanks! He does however, also come for those who are His, that where He is, they/we may be also. And it would be inaccurate to continue to portray His reign in terms of years, that is, after departing, at the end, and after the times are fulfilled.

    When we see things BEGIN to happen -Rapture

    There is actually no Up or Down with God (I am sure you know this), but rather higher and lower, above and below, which is not a direction, but a state of existence. But the word of God says rather that the man was "sent out" of the garden: "So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at...

    When we see things BEGIN to happen -Rapture

    I am suggesting nothing, but quoting scripture, not in part, but in spirit and in full. It was Jesus who said God is spirit, and how all who are born of the spirit exist and are unseen, that He goes to the Father and returns "quickly", that these are "the things that must shortly come to pass"...

    Amillennialism versus Dispensationalism

    But you cannot place it in the stone temple even if you want to-- It only points to Him who is holy. You have done nothing but fool yourself into thinking the one takes place of the Other. It does not. You are kidding yourself. You do not understand. Jesus came the first time (1) and then went...
