    Postrib vs Dispy

    I believe the Greek translation is closer to “a defection” if I remember right. But I am somewhat stumped as to why you think it doesn’t fit. I have been over and over 2 Thessalonians a thousand times ……………ok twice ………..just kidding. But to me it is absolutely crystal clear. …and actually...

    Postrib vs Dispy

    Actually, I can think of many more things that are much more um-biblical……..................... In answer to your comment …. It does in Thessalonians…. but if you are looking for prophecy or something from the gospels that would mention the return of Christ for the Church of God in this grace...

    Postrib vs Dispy

    What do you do with the following scripture? II Thessalonians 2:1-3 1: Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2: That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us...

    Chronological order of the New Testament

    If I understand your post correctly you are wondering the “why” of the order…maybe this will help.... on some of it. I have taken snippets from something I designed called the Quick Start, which I give to new believers …to give them a brief synopsis of the Bible. I placed the gospels last due...

    Questions on Faith and Doubt

    Interesting question…. Faith and Fear are opposites, but doubt is a byproduct of fear. The first account that popped into my mind was Shadrach, Meshach, and To bed we go. Daniel 3:17 & 18 3:17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and...

    Questions about reaching an agnostic

    Example is always good and I am sure your example is superior to others she knows...But ...(and I am only going by what you wrote) You might want to look deeper into prayer/acknowledgment of God......It may be nothing, but there could be some deep rooted reason she is resistant. Otherwise... be...

    Questions about reaching an agnostic

    In my humble opinion …. which really isn’t humble ….I just say that so people think I am humble. I actually think very highly of myself…… After all, I am a son of the most High. Anyhow…I am offering an opinion ….so take it for what it’s worth, I don’t know the person or the situation. You...

    Gap Theory?

    Rom 5:12........cont'd Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Critics point: There was no death in the world until sin was in the world, which was a result of Adam's disobedience. Therefore, the...

    Gap Theory?

    I think he only theory about Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 is regarding the fall of Lucifer. Other than that, the Bible definitely shows a time span between what we refer to as these verses. ➡ Remember that the originals did not have verses, chapters, or punctuation. And while they are immensely helpful...

    Why have the Sign Gifts Ended

    No disrespect taken…. Actually, I find that to be complementary since this is all my own writing and research. I have never had any interaction with AOG blogs, sites or building. I have been teaching this for 35+ years …so if there is any plagiarizing (word for word) it came from them…..which...

    Why have the Sign Gifts Ended

    There was no copy and paste… this is me in my own words ….trust me, I know this to be true…. because I was there when I wrote it. If this is a way to discredit me …that’s fine, but you can’t touch the Word of God. And if I quote something or copy something I will let you know…… you won’t have...

    Why have the Sign Gifts Ended

    Unpacking the scriptures, especially on this subject would normally take numerous pages. But I will do my best to be concise and hit the key points with enough information so you can confirm anything I say from the Word…after all, that is the standard for truth. Probably one of the most...

    Why have the Sign Gifts Ended

    I hope you don’t mind me inserting myself into the thread. I know as a newbie I have no credibility …and I don’t expect that assumption. Our stand as Christians is on the truth of God’s Word…It’s on that we base our life and salvation. So, no matter whose teaching, sharing, or writing, it’s the...

    Greetings and God bless. My name is TC, I live in Michigan USA. I have been a Christian for a number of years, and I think I used to be on this forum 8 or 9 years ago under a different name (which I can’t remember). But after 5 years absent, I think a person is considered New. So, thank you for...
