    John's First Phrase of 1 John 2:18

    Understand the in-depth meaning about the singular "anithcirst" is one thing, understanding about the plural "many antichrists" which are his workers, is another thing. BOTH subjects are covered in God's Word. And that's the truly important part about it that I've continuously been pointing to...

    Understanding The Flow of Our Lord's Book of Revelation

    Pagan era Rome wasn't the only area of existence for Christ's Church and the NT Gospels and Letters. The suggestion that the Jews in Rome used 'Babylon' as symbolic language for Rome, and thus means so, is speculation with no Biblical support, nothing more, nothing less.

    Genesis

    In all Biblical cases of Hebrew 'tohuw', you'll find it given in comparison as something in a previous state that became bad. Isa 45:18 18 For thus saith the LORD That created the heavens; God Himself that formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it not in vain, He...

    Seven Years of Tribulation,

    I think you confuse the idea of 'understanding' Bible prophecy as if it means being given a new prophecy. One given to understand what has already been written for the last days does not mean that one given is a prophet. Don't have to be a prophet to understand God's Word for the end...

    when do you guys think the anti-christ will come?

    The Antichrist figure is about a singular person or entity that is the same one our Lord Jesus and His Apostles warned us that will come in the last days. That's who John was talking about with his first "antichrist" phrase. His second phrase "many antichrists" is about the Antichrist's servants...

    Caught Up = Rapture

    What's written in Revelation 11 shows Christ's coming will not be over a period of 3.5 years, but at the end of that period. The 42 months of Rev.11:2 is about the Gentiles treading Jerusalem under foot for that period. It's on the 6th Trumpet - 2nd Woe period. That's also the 1260 days that...

    Christ-like.

    When you make false rash statements that we as Christians can be "as perfect as Christ", THAT is saying we can be God, for Christ Jesus IS God The Saviour. However, I wonder if you truly believe that Jesus of Nazareth The Christ is God? And if not, then that means you delegate Christ Jesus to...

    The United States of Evil

    Paul's situation was different in that he was a chosen vessel by our Lord Jesus, meaning he was a chosen elect. That was shown with how Christ directly intervened with Paul, which is Biblically a sign of a chosen sent apostle. Until that event Paul wasn't brought into service yet, that's all...

    No One Dies And Goes To Heaven. It is not the Gospel of Christ.

    The idea of those that sleep in Jesus is an expression for those in Christ that have died. It does not mean they are literally still in the ground where their rotting flesh corpse was laid. Nor can it be proven Biblically that we are made flesh only, since even back in Ecclesiastes 12 Solomon...

    Christ-like.

    I think you've lost it and something else is taking over in you. Gnosticism can sound a lot like true Christian Doctrine simply because it borrowed directly from Christian Doctrine in The Scriptures. But Gnosticism is not Christian Doctrine, but pagan doctrine, because it DENIES Christ Jesus as...

    No One Dies And Goes To Heaven. It is not the Gospel of Christ.

    The difference is with how some believe those asleep in Christ are still out in the graveyard which is an old Pharisee tradition, since they had difficulty with understanding how one's spirit and soul are not of the flesh (Eccl.12:5-7 in conjunction with those NT Scriptures above, including what...

    Christ-like.

    No, I think it's YOU that is leaning towards ideas of Gnosticism. ANY supposition that any of us can become "as perfect as Christ" is to delegate Christ as a spiritual force that one can attune to, and doing that is the denial of His authority as God The Saviour. It is to downgrade Christ Jesus...

    Genesis

    The KJV phrase "without form, and void" was a translation idea of the translators. It's not what the actual Hebrew words tohuw va bohuw are pointing to. Tohuw va bohuw means 'a waste and an undistinguishable ruin'. It's the very exact same Hebrew phrase God used in Jeremiah 4 about a state of...

    No One Dies And Goes To Heaven. It is not the Gospel of Christ.

    The dead-in-the-ground theory you're holding to is an old Jewish tradition based on supposition that one's 'soul' is made of flesh. Matt 10:28 28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him Which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell...

    Mark 16:9

    I see no conflict at all. Mark 16:1-2 1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint Him. 2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising...

    Deuteronomy 21:1-9

    That heifer represented a way of atonement per the Old Covenant, not The New Covenant. And notice there it by no means cleared the blood guilt of the one who did kill the person that was slain. It only atoned for the people living around the discovered dead body. And if one of those were...

    Seven Years of Tribulation,

    I get your meaning about the video clips, but..., do we really need any new prophecies about the end today? I recognize that The Holy Spirit may give us leadings in these last days, but it's for understanding, and also helping others to understand what's coming and how to prepare. Yet that will...

    No One Dies And Goes To Heaven. It is not the Gospel of Christ.

    Matt 17:1-9 1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured before them: and His face did shine as the sun, and His raiment was white as the light. 3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and...

    Genesis

    There's some good Bible study tools that can help us allow God's Word to interpret God's Word. The Englishman's Concordance is one of them, and the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge is another. A basic Strong's Concordance will do the same thing with helping to discover related Scripture to a...

    Christ-like.

    Those statements in bold pretty much rest my case of how Gnostic doctrine has been creeping into Christ's Church through history. ANY association of any believer on Christ ever... becoming "as perfect as Christ" is... what Gnosticism is about. Nor do I have to just stop with the ideas of 1st...
