    The tribulation

    I'm surprised so many people think I should get saved. I been saved by the blood of Jesus Christ only since 1998. 25 years this July. I just personally never took to shooting Daniel's last week into the future to the tribulation when the weeks were exact from the rebuilding of the temple. It...

    The tribulation

    No one has given a biblical argument. You've all just spewed your beliefs. How do you make the tribulation 7 years? How do you take a week from Daniel and shoot it into the future without it saying? Many people believe the week was the temple destroyed. It happened after the apostle warned of...

    The tribulation

    How do you just shoot 7 years into the future without saying. The rest of the years were chronological, why not the last 7.

    The tribulation

    The tribulation is not 7 years. I went to Bible college where the tribulation is taught as Daniel's last week or 7 but I could never figure out how the last week was shot into the future. It isn't. All of Daniel's weeks are accomplished. The temple was already made desolate. Now the original...

    Reading the bible literally or figuratively... that is the question

    I believe Revelations is figurative. It's all a vision of John. I don't really believe it's 7 years. It could be a long tribulation that already started. But really I question the book of revelations because it's figurative with horses and trumpets. I don't believe it should be taken literal...

    Apostles

    It's kinda cultic how everyone thinks the number 12 is special, even getting rid of Matthias. I always hated when people used that argument. There were 13 apostles and more since the Bible never said only these 12. In fact you have no scripture that limits apostles to the twelve. If God offers...

    Would a protestant benefit from reading other denominations?

    You should read the Bible through before looking around.

    If you think you have faith more than just common faith you just have to go with it, no one can tell you.

    Apostles

    So apostles is listed as an office of the church or ministry in the bible. That means more than just the 12 and Paul. So where are their epistles. It's the primary job of apostles to have epistles. I personally think there are more books to the scriptures and often read the apocryphal books. If...

    The apocryphal gospels

    To my Bible college knowledge the Bible wasn't final until the reformation when the Catholic books were excluded and a number of other books that were considered.

    The apocryphal gospels

    I wasn't referring to the apocrypha but to the other gospel accounts of Christ. It's a good read.

    The apocryphal gospels

    So I'm reading the apocryphal gospels from a book on Google. Do the Catholics recieve them because I do. I've been reading the gospel of Nicodemus which mentions the dead that were raised at the cross were met by the high priest and when asked if they would tell the truth did the sign of the...

    Father of Lies

    All bible translations are good for comparison. I personally think kjv is the closest but sometimes find the niv helps.

    Father of Lies

    Psalm 119 is pretty good at explaining a right view of the old Testament.
