    Can God Be Eternal And Begotten

    There's plenty enough Scripture evidence that reveals Jesus Christ is God, even beyond a doubt. There's no way He would be given such a name as "Immanuel" back in Isaiah to Christ, which is also confirmed in the NT... Matt 1:23 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a...

    Parable Of Lazarus And The Richman

    I don't interpret the "lake of fire" destruction as being about eternal torment. When Satan and the wicked in hell are cast into the lake of fire, they will be gone. That's what the Psalms 37 event is about. But there is a literal place in the heavenly that is a separation from God. 2 Pet 2:4...

    Advice For Truly Studying And Understand My Bible

    Skywalker, Here's something Apostle Paul said to Timothy... 2 Tim 3:15-17 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable...

    Being "caught Up" To Christ Jesus

    Just because it was written in the OT prophets does not have to mean it is already history, and that's my point. No, I'm saying that God's Word clearly instructs us when a figurative sense is being given. And His Word will also reveal if a figurative meaning also has a literal reality to it...

    What Is A Soul?

    Here's a hint, and it's a dad-gum big one. 2 Cor 5:1-10 1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved (kataluo), we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Our "earthly house of this tabernacle" is our flesh body. If it is...

    What We Can Tell From Zechariah 14:1-5

    Yes, I too agree there will be a group of Christ's servants still in Jerusalem at that event. But that doesn't mean we can preach for all Christians in the nations to travel there before Christ returns.

    Being "caught Up" To Christ Jesus

    Does't matter that it is written in the OT. Many prophecies written in the OT prophets have yet to come to pass today. Christ's feet touching down upon the Mount of Olives is about His descending from Heaven. It's not about His being born through Mary, and then later walking up to the Mount of...

    Being "caught Up" To Christ Jesus

    Well, yes, there's many reasons given in Zech.14 that shows that's not about Christ's first coming. Those are literal events being given in Zech.14, a great earthquake, Mount of Olives split into two, God's River flowing from Jerusalem, the plague mentioned, and especially... there being only...

    Being "caught Up" To Christ Jesus

    A "linear narrative" is not really how I see our Lord Jesus layed out many of the events in His Revelation. Treating it as a type of linear narrative is how some wrongly derive support for their belief in a rapture prior to the great tribulation. As far as the events that happen in order we can...

    Daniel's 70Th Week: Warnings

    Don't have to be a Dispensationalist, nor Preterist, nor Historicist, nor Futurist to know the "little horn" of Dan.8 is the same one as the "vile person" in Dan.11. All one need to do is read, and of course be able to remember what they read. Albeit, some do have a problem remembering what they...

    Mystery, Babylon The Great

    We don't have abide by your list of identifiers for Jerusalem as the harlot city, God has already shown us... Ezek 8:1-18 1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of...

    Mystery, Babylon The Great

    Thankfully, The Lord showed us in the last verse of Rev.17 the Babylon harlot is a specific city on earth.

    Being "caught Up" To Christ Jesus

    I get it from this... Rev 22:2 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. (KJV) Rev.2:7 also reveals...

    The Man Of Lawlessnes/antichrist/satans Kingdom

    Christ did not confirm any covenant for a period of Daniel's "one week" (7 years), and then in the middle of the same week end sacrifices in Jerusalem. It's impossible to apply that to Christ at His first coming. Christ's first coming was NOT to establish anything dealing with the Old Covenant...

    Daniel's 70Th Week: Warnings

    Well, Christ did not come in 70 A.D., nor was His second coming then. And the Romans didn't even fulfill what Antiochus did. Jerusalem has been sieged something like 27 times in its history. And more than once it became subjected to false idol worship of pagans. That makes the "abomination of...

    Being "caught Up" To Christ Jesus

    That's interesting. And yes, I do see some of that, especially from the Ezekiel Scripture with Christ coming and going. That may answer why Rev.20:9 uses the title of "beloved city" instead of the Holy City or new Jerusalem, the new Jerusalem indeed waiting fulfillment until after the great...

    Being "caught Up" To Christ Jesus

    There's only one way to look at those John 5:28-29 verses, (and I include the point teleiosis made if he's reading this), and it's about the idea of the resurrection, and it's about both the "resurrection of life" and the "resurrection of damnation" happenning at the same time, for the time...

    Being "caught Up" To Christ Jesus

    Not bad, except for the point where you miss our Lord's destination per Zech.14 when He comes to gather us to Him. And I prefer the KJV of those John 14 verses... John 14:2-3 2 In My Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you...

    Can God Be Eternal And Begotten

    True that a pastor teaching in the pulpit should be with a God-inspired preaching by The Holy Spirit. But that should always align with what's written in God's Holy Writ, for His Word was given through The Holy Spirit. If someone in the congregation doesn't really know what God's written Word...

    Can God Be Eternal And Begotten

    No need to confuse the issue with leaven doctrines of men. Heb 2:9 9 But we see Jesus, Who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man. (KJV) The idea of Jesus (Immanuel - God...
