No, absolutely not. I've never said that. In fact, I've intentionally declared that that is *not* my position. In the OT Prophets the "day of the Lord" is used not just for the eschatological return of Christ at the end of the present age, but it is also used for historical judgments, such as...

"Eschatological" refers to the Last Days of this age, such as the 3.5 years of Antichrist, the Return of Jesus to bring his Kingdom to earth, the Millennium, etc.

Thanks for the focus on holiness--we completely agree on that. I don't have a problem debating--just have to quit if the kitchen gets too hot! ;)

Yes, I think it can be taken both ways, that he is "among us" and "within us." Means the same thing. The image in my mind is of the tabernacle being placed, by God, in the midst of Israel travelling through the wilderness. God wanted to be "among them," as well as *in their midst." Means the...

I believe that in his Olivet Discourse Jesus tried to focus his disciples away from the eschatological Coming as something to practically prepare for and instead focus on current issues that make one prepared for the Kingdom by moral means. In other words, Jesus made current issues the decisive...

I agree to some degree. The trouble is, American politicians see their jobs as career jobs, when they were originally meant to be a temporary service that is interested in the nation's affairs, as opposed to one's own affairs. I don't think anybody cares if a career is made out of politics as...

Some wonder what the difference is between the righteousness of the non-Christian world and the righteousness of the Christian world? Some even believe that the pagan world cannot have any righteousness at all, since it is compromised by self-interest. And some believe that even Christians have...

Yea, all good points. I live in WA State, and we have a blowhard governor Inslee, who also likes to slap mandates in an undemocratic fashion. Trouble for him, though--our State Congress has decided to legislatively limit his "emergency powers." And now he is considering lifting the mask mandate...

It is embarrassing to listen to Joe Biden anymore--he is so awkward and has so much trouble speaking. It was unfit to run for President, and in fact, hardly ran, hiding in his basement, and addressing maybe 10 or 20 people in his campaign stops. It shows the power of corrupt people who band...

It's all very discouraging, isn't it? On the other hand, it appears the Democrats' conspiracy tactics to steal elections is coming undone and getting exposed. If so, there may still be hope for us.

I'm really beside myself with the corruption both in the US and in Canada. Right now Canada has turned into a tyranny, just because the people don't want to be mandated things unreasonably by the govt. What kind of Democracy imposes its will on the people like this in areas that have nothing to...

I apologize if this isn't particularly relevant to biblical discussions. It is, however, relevant to my own participation in them. I've been completely immersed in the current unraveling of the Russian Hoax scandal in the US. Before and during the Trump presidency there was an active conspiracy...

I've been waiting a very long time for that report. I suppose now I'll have to wait for all parties to prepare, in advance, their respective "talking points?" Or, if you know where I can see any substantial info on it, please let me know!

In the midst of debates and discussions, there is an underlying current of genuine Christian fellowship. And I just love it when this happens, because God's fingerprints are always all over it. Stories told are identified with, with amazing precision. Very fun! :)

I think she was in a nursing home. She had a beautiful Christian smile on her face when we sang. I have an old picture of her--looks like an angel! I still remember some of the words of those songs in German. Stille Nacht. O Tannenbaum. Just to identify once again, my father started out...

Yes, there's more, but I won't bore you with my own family's details--only what somewhat compares with yours. Yes, some of the documents of my relatives include Polish paperwork, if I remember correctly. And I think Ukraine was simply part of Russia--don't know the history well. My grandparents...

How funny. My German Grandmother landed in Alberta Canada, when her family emigrated there. That was in the early 20th century. She later moved to Washington State. I still have cousins and various relatives in Alberta, but we've lost touch. When I was an early teen I ran away to go to Haight...

I'm an American and was born here in WA State. I'm referring to how we, as Americans, should respond to Russia surrounding the Ukraine with military positioned to attack? My views as a Christian are different from my views as an American. I have to be in submission to our political state, and...
