The eternal gospel (everlasting gospel)

[marks]

Davy, my young brother, I dont think you understood what Charity said and I'm pretty sure that you don't understand a lot of what I'm saying. You really don't have to understand these things, they have no effect on your salvation, but I'm begging you not to lean on your own understanding and say evil things about another very blessed saint and one with a sweet aroma of grace in her posts. Charity is not in the least bit confused, she just understands quite a bit more than you do. She's scholarly like a good Berean, and full of the Holy Spirit. I'm not suggesting that you aren't, but this thread shouldn't be filled with false accusation, carnal argument, or undermining the testimony of any saint.
Do you understand, friend?

No need to talk down to others, I shouldn't think.

Much love!

Hint: how do lights rule anything? Strongs #4475

The greater and lesser lights? Sun and moon? Either metaphorically, or, what do you have in mind?

Of course, the stars were not said to rule.

Your thoughts?

Much love!

I wouldn't think so either which is why I'm trying to get this thread locked down.

Actually read the passage again and consider the order of the verses.
14 Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. 16 Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. 17 God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness.
In normal grammatical usage "them" applies to all the lights, not just to the greater and lesser light. Many of the stars we see are far larger than the sun and produce a far more intense light. In the time of Moses this wasn't understood by men, but I'm pretty sure that God knew what He was talking about and this forces us to a spiritual understanding, not a carnal one.
And we should mention that the first verses show that the lights in the firmament were created before the sun, moon, and stars. Sometimes detail is good.

BTW, I also conversed on line with a member of some wacky cult that thought that Jesus and Satan were the 2 greater and lesser lights and "spirit brothers" making Jesus a created being and Satan his equal. This was on a Christian message board and he considered himself a Christian. Insanity is a common feature of the cults, but a sound mind comes from Christ Jesus. All humanity needs a little help in that area these days.

What is it that you see?

Much love!

Lots of things my friend, but this was just a response to some bating by a self righteous judge of my character. I thought I'd deleted the post after clicking the ignore button.

Notice I put your big FIB WORDS in Bold Red and Large Letters.

The "everlasting gospel" of Rev.14 is The Gospel of Jesus Christ! And I KNOW OF NO OTHER GOSPEL THAT CAN SAVE taught in God's Word! It is the same Gospel preached to Abraham, the same Gospel Jesus preached, the same Gospel Christ's Apostles preached, and the same Gospel that Apostle Paul preached. Any other gospel is just rubbish.

YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY CONFUSED

(Re: Reply#56 - Page 3)

'And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven,
having the everlasting gospel to preach
unto them that dwell on the earth,
and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
Saying with a loud voice,
Fear God, and give glory to Him;
for the hour of His judgment is come:
and worship Him that made heaven, and earth,
and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
(Rev 14:6-7)
