    Where Will Jesus Return?

    Many questions, many positions....it behooves us to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling while looking forward to the hope set before us. No second chances, no three times and you're out. We stand on the cusp of Eternity!

    Can the dead communicate with the living?

    Berserk and Giuliano, you turn your claim of believing God's word into a lie for God has plainly said '.....you will surely die' yet you say the dead live. You choose to disbelieve God's words because they don't suit you're paradigm. Your preference is to believe the serpents words '....you...

    Where Will Jesus Return?

    This event is speaking of his coming to the Earth after the millennium and touching down. This is when the wicked will be resurrected for judgement.....this is his third coming. At his second coming he will not touch down. He will come in the clouds and call all his saints to himself, returning...

    ISRAEL IN THE TRIBULATION

    You are not hearing, justbyfaith If you are arguing for 'faith' in order to evade obedience, you are doing so at the peril of your life. Genuine faith manifests in obedience. A spurious faith avoids obedience.

    ISRAEL IN THE TRIBULATION

    The condition (if it has escaped your attention) is obedience.

    ISRAEL IN THE TRIBULATION

    Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Your...

    ISRAEL IN THE TRIBULATION

    God's love is not conditional but God's promises are always conditional. Confusing the two results in deviation.

    'Global Issues' - any thoughts to express?

    This has been reported in the Australian press today. Who can join the dots??

    Righteousness Misapprehended

    Righteousness has miserable press because it is perceived as a killjoy. Herein is evidence that the diminishing factor is embraced as the value to pursue....its diminishing being totally ignored even in the face of it. This tee shirt expresses it all.

    'Global Issues' - any thoughts to express?

    There are and will be efforts to combat the problems humanity is facing, however, to little effect. Not far ahead of us (if I understand the scripture correctly) are worse calamities. They herald the return of Jesus. We are told in advance to watch many times. The tricky part is understanding...

    ISRAEL IN THE TRIBULATION

    Here you have deviated from the narrow track justbyfaith.

    Can the dead communicate with the living?

    Lazarus is dead (asleep) awaiting the resurrection at Jesus return. Your difficulty in understanding this is based on your eschatological view. It doesn't allow you to understand it. One could say you are trying to fit a square peg into a round hole......it will not go. And I will add, an...

    "Oh no... I'm God!"

    Yeah, we do well to reflect and contemplate on these things. How humbling! We so easily dissect the life of Jesus as if we had an inside view of it.....how foolish!

    Can the dead communicate with the living?

    For God's sake Guliano, read the account. It's all in there.......Also, please reread my post you claim I have not replied to. because Lazarus is not subject to the second death. The questions are answered but can you see them? .....if you can't, is the word 'ignorance' too strong?....maybe...

    Did Jesus have faith ?

    Is my question that much of a threat? ......and derailment is in your imagination. Regarding your further claims there are only a few options. Here they are:- 1. You don't have a clue what you're talking about. 2. You are parroting what others have lyingly asserted. 3. You are just plain...

    Can the dead communicate with the living?

    Yes, Lazarus was dead, Jesus qualified it in John 11:13-14....read the whole story in John 11:1-44 Giuliano...I cannot believe your ignorance on this matter. In the first instance Jesus is talking of a believer who has died. Vs 25 + 26....here Jesus is using the word 'dead' and 'die' in the...

    ISRAEL IN THE TRIBULATION

    The promises of God are contingent to obedience as the text says.....this has always been the case.....it is not about to change. If Israel referred to in your quotes is solely geographical Israel, ie literal descendants of Jacob then we will see the what transpires. At the present their...

    Can the dead communicate with the living?

    The word 'sleep' is used as death as we understand it now. 'Sleep' is used because all will be resurrected at some stage. 'Death' in the final sense of the word for the wicked will occur after the final judgement. Scripture refers to this as the 'second death' Those resurrected to eternal life...

    Can the dead communicate with the living?

    This is not Samuel talking Enoch, this is the apparition talking the which Saul thought was Samuel. Get the CONTEXT.

    Can the dead communicate with the living?

    Your logic is muddled Giuliano. There is no consciousness in death. The scripture is unequivocal about that. Your view assumes the dead are not dead......herein is a fatal error which seeks to justify itself. Deception always has an element of truth.....that's how the shenanigans are pulled...
