You contradict yourself. First you dismiss my factual explanation citing biblical precedence, just was is the practice of all who are sent. But then you finish with a statement that agrees with that biblical premise, after first dismissing it. But that is you. I said nothing in error, nor did...

If I did not think that I was among friends here, I would not be so bold (or foolish) as to step in the middle or to appear to take one side or the other to this issue--but I am not taking a side. Both positions are written. So, no, I am not taking a side...except the side of God whom is One...

"Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” 8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. 9 Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the...

It all comes down to the timing of "great tribulation." Which Jesus clarifies: There is no greater tribulation [ever] than that which Christ suffered once for all. It is quite amazing that Jesus even said "this time"...and so many just pass right over it and push it off as if some would-be...

Reasoning is good, but better to receive what is known by God, than to debate what men only speculate about. We were not left alone. Opinions and and judgments were never to take the place of God. They only light the path for those who walk according to His will. There are also many paths...

The Bible is indeed perfect. It is under the providence of God, not men, and not to return void.

It does not--those would-be contradictions are only due to misunderstandings. And errors are only due to "confusion" placed upon all language by God at Babel.

Great post! You addressed somethings that I was not really getting at, but that is good. I was mostly concerned with the out and out opinion vs. scripture squabbles and arguments. You make a good point bringing up Paul. Peter also addressed the scriptures, saying "No prophecy of Scripture is...

:D 2 Timothy 2:23 "But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife."

The point is that opinion based arguments happen all the time among Christians, here, and in all of Christendom--which have no bearing on the truth from God. Such a position should not be considered viable in taking a Christian brother or sister to task. But someone will argue even that.

Looks like it may take a while to get to this one...but I would probably comment on it.

Well, that would be one I believe that God would not consider to be second rate compared to His own handy work.

Nonetheless, there is no greater tribulation [ever] than that which Christ suffered once for all. It is also quite amazing that Jesus even said "this time"...and so many just pass right over it and push it off as if some would-be event could somehow be greater than Christ being forsake by the...

For me, it wouldn't matter if they were traditional tribal tattoos or just someone else's preference of art-- I just prefer the beauty that is God given. With some exceptions, I feel the same way about plastic surgery.

All three are as square pegs in round holes. First these must all be rightly divided as to what is in the world, and what is in the kingdom (heaven). This, as Jesus said, describes things being "as the days of Noah": while most are unaware. But you have dismissed this one because most put too...

It means that light is divided from the darkness--Once with God. Which is then only written of and broken down incrementally in the world for the sake of revelation. History is His story.

Because the harvest, although it takes place in the world for those taken, it is not of the world, but is of the kingdom wherein there is no division of time--no time.

That would be true in more ways than one. If one were saved on their death bed, could do nothing but had faith, then died...the same would be true.

True story. I was a young pre-Christian married man running my business next to a clothing store where several young girls worked. I had a coke machine, so some would come over for their break. One of them batted her eyes at me and asked what I thought about her getting a rose tattooed on her...

Right on!
