To me it is a choice to read the Bible, it is the same thing as a choice to dying to ones self and living for God. That is what the Bible ultimately leads to - the cross - death to self and to be alive to God, living by the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of Christ with-in us. It is really cool that...

Thank you for that encouragement, Stunnedbygrace. If someone asked me what parts of the Bible have you read, I would explain I have read all of the New Testament but the book of Acts, and I have read a few of the books in the Old Testament. I am working on reading through the whole thing in a...

Lamb would be figurative of Jesus on earth? Remember when Abraham took his Son Isaac, and he told his servants when he was taking him up the mountain "Me and the boy will be back." Isaac along the way, asked his father, we have the wood and fire, but where is the Lamb?" Abraham told his son that...

Hello hidden in him, The throne room seat shows one who sits on the throne in revelation 4 and 5, and I believe that is the Lord God Almighty. The Revelation states about From the throne of God - and from the lamb, wouldn’t the Lamb be embolmatic of Jesus when he was on the earth? Thank you...

It seems to me you are part of the historicist view perhaps? Like history repeats itself so the revelation and things of Daniel may repeat again in this life time? I’ve have given the way I view revelation 13 the best way I could using history and summation of others and their findings. My...

We believe in God who may or may not exist at all, the only hope relying on the one whom he had sent, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross, was buried and raised again on the third day and has been accounted for even outside of the Bible itself. Through my experience there is nothing like...

Brakelite, thank you for sharing your position of how you believe not so sure what to say brother in all honesty. People are going to look at Revelation, and will come up with many different things, for me it is seen as a literal foretelling of those 7 churches in Asia Minor, and the persecution...

Okay, sometimes people reading the Revelation it is very scary. You have Jesus hammering down on those 7 churches in the first 2 Chapters, and then you have all of the rest of it and what explains of terrible things to happen, such as the seven vials, and seven seals to be opened and everything...

LearningtoletGo, That is interesting that you have stated that about the book-ends, even if you see them as poetry, there is some spiritual applications we can learn from them. It is amazing, because they tie in together like a bow on a present. Appreciate you taking time to chime in here and...

Learningtoletgo, You asked some good questions on your other post. Have considered writing out at least one of the chapters just for reference, may take time to do that tomorrow. For one, the term that is referred to in the initial post is indeed what you have stated "unable to affect humanity...

@Brakelite, if you would like to just point out the one thing sure. If you use scripture (if it happens to be a lot) please use quotes around those parameters if you do not care, thank you. Glad you are able to read it and understand it fully; it may not change my mind personally but you may...

@ScottA, Remember when you explained that 1000 years basically means - fullness of time. Considering this what it does mean, and (see Matthew 24:34) generation = 40 years, that would be the fullness of time of 1000 years which was a figurative number, just as the Psalm 50 [Verse 10]? Would...

Glad you understood, Teamventure. We wrestle ourselves against the dark principalities that try to invade our heart, brother! Keep on fighting the good fight.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let...

Thank you for sharing Ancient, you have really good teachings, they are much more well articulated than myself! Much love from America my brutha!

I am just a fallible human being communing with another fallible human being @stunnedbygrace In times like these we just have to let things go. You know I remember several times where people have had a problem with me and this always something that happens we go back and forth back and forth...

I never said anyone was being dishonest, you brought that up yourself, ma'am. Though truly in what I said : If people do not believe that Jesus has come back - which he proclaimed he was coming back, and his apostles said he was coming back, and the people were waiting for his return in his day...

No it just means they have a different perspective. There is nothing wrong with that at all... God has allowed this creating us to the ability to choose and think for oneself. God is good.

@Grailhunter, Thank you for sharing. Eventually he is stopped in Revelation 20:10 and that is great news!

You keep coming back to me @stunnedbygrace... I am not trying to downplay anyone here, nor have I call you any names or anyone here. So whatever your problem is please give it to God. All these people on here as far as I know love God from their heart... I haven't said people aren't saved...
