    How close is the Seven Year Tribulation?

    Since when is a 'cherub' a flesh man?

    The beast that was and was not and yet is

    I don't equate today's usage of the word 'Jew' with Scripture. Today's usage applies to the religion of Judaism, which if you haven't yet noticed, is vehemently against Christianity. Judaism is still the old Pharisee tradition system which Christ was against. Furthermore, I might be an...

    Putting the puzzle together. The beast is alive

    See, that Scripture is a primary example by Paul of a portion of his brethren of the "house of Judah" that believed on Christ Jesus, apart from the "crept in unawares" that claimed to be of Judah, but were not. Yet don't we wrongly hear all too often ALL Israel of that time being made guilty of...

    Does Paul tell is in Romans chapter 7 that we will always sin while in this flesh nature?

    I had no intention of assuming that you had claimed any such status from freedom of all sin. It's because I know it's not possible for you, me, nor anyone else to have in this life. If believing that you can be perfect in your flesh helps you to overcome your flesh in serving Christ, then go...

    Does Paul tell is in Romans chapter 7 that we will always sin while in this flesh nature?

    Did Peter sin after he had received the Holy Spirit? Yes, per Galatians 2, when Peter's Jewish brethren from Jerusalem came for a visit, and he separated himself apart from the Gentiles. Paul called him down for it too. Paul called it hypocrisy (hupokrisis). It was an act that no doubt upset...

    Does Paul tell is in Romans chapter 7 that we will always sin while in this flesh nature?

    Christ did not come to save our flesh body. John was preaching the same things as Paul in Galatians, walking by The Spirit vs. walking by the flesh, and then with one more idea. The idea that after having come to Christ and we commit a sin, we need to repent of it. And if we say we have no...

    What does it mean to have eternal life?

    You hit that on the nail. Lot of brethren have huge trouble digesting that Bible truth. It's mostly because of their thinking with their 'carnal' nature. Say 'body' and most automatically think of a flesh type body, and not the resurrection body which is a "spiritual body" according to Apostle Paul.

    Does Paul tell is in Romans chapter 7 that we will always sin while in this flesh nature?

    It's actually blasphemy against Christ to say that we can literally have no sin, as John even said... I Jn 1:6-10 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with...

    A Vitally Important Subject - The Locust of the Book of Joel - Who are they?

    Well, beyond all that above, i.e., like subtle suggestions that we can't know the season of the locusts, if that's what is being said indirectly, there truly is a way to know per Scripture. In Christ's Olivet Discourse upon the Mount of Olives, He gave seven specific signs to be watching for...

    Revelation 13: 18: Number of A Man Or Number of Man

    The beast kingdoms Daniel was given to interpret do not involve 7 different empires, but only 5. Dan 2:32-44 32 This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, 33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. 34 Thou...

    Putting the puzzle together. The beast is alive

    Still doesn't matter, because God preserved a remnant of Judah in Jerusalem to our days. With the parable of the tares our Lord Jesus gave, there's two objects if you'll notice, one is the good wheat, and the other is the tares that appear as wheat. What you're concentrating on is only the...

    How close is the Seven Year Tribulation?

    We don't have to rely on naming conventions for the devil to know he is a real entity... Ezek 28:13-15 13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the...

    2 Cor 3:13-16 13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: 14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which...

    Does Paul tell is in Romans chapter 7 that we will always sin while in this flesh nature?

    Gal 3:22 22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. (KJV) Rom 3:23-24 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in...

    A Vitally Important Subject - The Locust of the Book of Joel - Who are they?

    I didn't know that about your first statement. Never heard it before. Yet they ain't (and no, I'm not one of them). The locusts metaphor is figurative, for "a nation" per Joel 1:6. And those who represent the locusts are far... from repentance today. Instead, they work directly against...

    The unfaithful servant

    His applying Christ's parable in Matt.22 to ANY believer on Christ Jesus is grossly wrong, period. The reason is simple, because it's ONLY the believer on Christ Jesus that will have that "wedding garment", not the unbelieving.

    The unfaithful servant

    Here is one of the most important sections in the Old Testament concerning Israel and the crept in unawares. Judg 2:1-4 1 And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and...

    The unfaithful servant

    If you noticed the idea of "strange apparel" from the Zephaniah 1:8 Scripture I posted, then that should have revealed where in the OT Jesus was pulling from about the one not having on a wedding garment that tried to sneak in. The righteous clothing is a concept first given back in the Old...

    Revelation 13: 18: Number of A Man Or Number of Man

    Dan 7:23-25 23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. 24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another...

    Then you are terribly deceived by the heavenly cherub named Satan, and already in his hand.
