Is not everything in the universe in a state of entropy? Will not the sun run out fuel? Perhaps by then we will have figured out warp speed in space and live on a different planet. Or perhaps Peter is right, the present earth will burn up and be replaced with a new earth? 2 Peter 3:10, But the...

I think the Church has been in the tribulation period since it's conception. But of course there is an ebb and flow to how bad it is through out time.

1. Every man thinks he's right in his own eyes, until another man shows his errors or corrects him. 2. The Bereans search the scriptures to see if what Paul and Silas preached to them was true. 3. Paul said, "Consider what I say, and may the Holy Spirit give you understanding." The Lord put...

Revelation 6 should settle part of this debate, in my opinion: Fifth Seal: The Cry of the Martyrs 9 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying...

The Rod of Iron is strong and it reigns forever even now. I was dashed by this Rod of Iron when I realized I needed a savior. All Christians were dashed by this Rod of Iron, in which God is putting back together piece by piece. My problem and perhaps so many others, is that I try to put the...

Whats this 10000 character limit crap!

I claim this is after the 70 weeks, in which I admit is debatable but again I urge to look up the word determined in Hebrew for verse 26C and 27C, it has a different then "determined" in verse 24. the decree was given, by Christ, within the 70th week. 1. Rod of Iron means longevity...

Heh, reminds me of my Dad's sermon called "How Odd of God." The people had 40 years to repent, some did, some didn't. That isn't fair? Plus all the miracles they saw! The destruction of the city and temple was necessary to abolish the old system, for the new system was in, which was/is "I will...

I hate this new format...oh well... The physical land promise was never eternal, or rather never meant to me. It a type of what is to come, Eternity with Christ in a remade Earth and universe. Which in that sense, since Christians are a continuation of God's people the promise is kept for it is...

Heya bud, scripture that I read says that the cutting of of the Messiah happens after the 62nd week not at the end of it, after the 62nd week is the 70th week, you place an unwarranted gap between the 69th week and the 70th...That's you asking me to take somewhere that 15 minutes away from your...

The destruction of the city is not part of the 70th week, just a after effect of the 70th week. However, the decree to destroy the city was give in the 70th week by Jesus. Read Daniel carefully and you'll see verse 26 and 27 in parallel, 26A and 27A are part the 70th, but both 26B and C and 27B...

The question was asked of Jesus, "How many times should we forgive our brother, up to seven times?" Jesus responds (MAT18:22), "I do not say to you, up seven times but 70x7." Then Jesus goes right into a parable about settling accounts. Who does God have an account to settle? Many Christians...

I can't answer your question/poll accurately according to my understanding, because my answer would maybe, some is some isn't. It's not so important that the bible God gave us in all "God Inspired" word for word or rather inerrant/infallible. What is important is the Word that God gave us TRUE...

The doctors are saying that my sister Jan has a brain tumor and there is a 99% chance that it is cancerous. It comes as a shock to the family, she is 63 and she has eaten very healthy (organic) most of her life. She has a recently adopted a child (age 8) from Laos which was quite an ordeal...

Most of you would probably agree that in these times evil is at it's worst then it's ever been. I'm not fully convinced of that, but neither do I deny it. The news media (in which most outlets I think are controlled by the devil) are just chomping at the bit to enlighten the evil that happens in...
