"That is true and my point with mentioning the "bad stuff" is that...is it the bad stuff that is going to motivate His return or is it a schedule...an appointed time." Not the bad stuff I don't think. In the parable of the ten virgins the Bridegroom was delayed. Was He delayed because of bad...

I may be sticking my neck out a little here, but I think God approves of acapella. My two sons in law and two of their cousins were practicing an acapella song for the church service over 20 years ago now. They would record themselves and correct what they thought deficient until they felt they...

@Grailhunter A number of points. First. To your question, "when will Christ return?" You then wrote of all the bad stuff that has been happening not just late, but throughout history. Then you mentioned how church attendance is declining, and how Christianity in general has become a limp...

The reformers were unanimous in their comparison of history with prophecy, declaring the Antichrist is here. The Antichrist then changed the hermeneutic to futurism and the modem church believes the Antichrist is not here but still to come.

Imagine the power of a church...a people... Who had such a vision of sin. Who despised sin and recognised the true cost to the Godhead, the true price of redemption. Just one generation from Adam and the sin nature gave birth to a murder over the correct manner of worship. We see a battle...

The group of believers revealed below are depicted first as those whom Satan despises and wants destroyed. They must be doing something right. In the next verse they are depicted as doing the Lord's work. This is the church we need to be belong to. It's out there, you just have to ask the Lord...

If you say so.

I have heard testimonies of similar events in modern times. One evangelist spoke in Papua New Guinea a few years ago... Peached entirely in English, but everyone heard him in their own dialect. Something like 50,000 people attended that day. And 1000s of baptisms as a result.

Unless you have Biblical support for the theory the two witnesses are Elijah and Enoch, then it is indeed conjecture. There is nothing to suggest in scripture that those two were taken alive to be brought back here. They lived their lives and are a type for the coming translation of the...

I know that. But even a broken clock is correct once in a while. As for your belief that Elijah and Enoch are the two witnesses. Apart from the fact that they are in heaven now, as is Moses, what evidence is there that they are coming back? What evidence is there that the two witnesses are even...

Finally. Someone using the Bible to interpret the Bible.

Sin is what separates. Always has. Always will. Despite the cross, sin still separates. Why? Because we don't go to the cross. We minimize the evil of sin... We compromise... We claim we cannot sin because we are Christians. We don't believe we have sinned because we have removed the power of...

And our own male egos have a huge part to play. Am I still handsome enough that this beautiful young woman would take an interest in me? Do I still have what it takes to make my mates jealous? The devil knows our weaknesses and uses them to his advantage and our downfall. Oh, and modem fashions...

I think we may believe Romans 8:28 in situations such as this. The current situation is not ideal certainly. And indeed I think it right and proper that Christians should object and protest, short of pulling down the fence and trampling upon the law. Good however can come from this if we are...

I agree. Desire, when entertained, brings forth sin. I must confess however to some reluctance to judge the time when that very thin line is breached which divides admiration from desire. We can admire the beauty of a wonderful masterpiece of man's creation, surely without desiring it. Can we do...

I agree with the above. But when I said... it was in response to this... Which I believe is temptation. How long you endanger yourself with such a temptation by entertaining it and fostering it, can turn to lust.

I really only want to answer from personal experience. I think the Bible would harmonize with my experience, but some may disagree. What has kept me in the faith for over 40 years? What has kept me believing despite some very serious trials? Jesus. His promises that no trial we meet is greater...

Lol. Bro. Think about it. Jesus said numerous times, be not deceived. Throughout prophecy we are warned that deception is the devil's principle means by which to destroy God's people. What is in your face is not what you need to be looking for. Look deeper. The democrats are mere tools to bring...

That is temptation. Temptation is not sin. Lust is desire... Desire is giving in to temptation. Ok

I disagree. Lust is wilful if you entertain it. We have an advocate with the Father, that if we confess our sins He will forgive us, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Such cleansing is not make believe. But if we want it, if we hunger and thirst after righteousness, we shall be filled...
