    Revelation 19- A major Key to understanding Revelations

    Why can you not answer a simple question? All I asked you was where in the Bible we are told that God placed the shape of the cross inside human flesh from the very beginning as a hidden prophecy. Just tell me which verse(s) say such a thing.

    How do preachers or teachers explain this?

    If Luke 14:26 really meant that Christians have to hate their parents and spouses, how do you believe a Christian can obey words found elsewhere in God's word? For example: NKJV Mat 19:19 'HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER,' and, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' " NKJV Eph 5:25...

    How do preachers or teachers explain this?

    But much of the Bible is literal. God literally created the earth, sun, moon, stars, animals, birds, fish, mankind, etc. He literally sent a world-wide flood, which killed all humans and animals not with Noah on the ark. He literally sent His only begotten Son to be born of a virgin, and to...

    How do preachers or teachers explain this?

    So please tell me, why does Hebrew and Greek have to conform with English usage? Jesus told His followers to love their enemies. He Himself as a Child was subject to Mary and Joseph; He didn't hate them: NKJV Luk 2:51 Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them...

    How do preachers or teachers explain this?

    Praise God, He does "wait to see our humility" before He reveals Himself to us. Paul reminded the Ephesian Christians that before God saved them, they were "dead in trespasses and sins." If God had waited for them to show humility, He would still be waiting: NKJV Eph 2:1 And you He made...

    How do preachers or teachers explain this?

    That is not so. I can see spiritual lessons from things like the Flood, and from God saving the Children of Israel from slavery in Egypt. But that does not mean that the Flood is still happening or that the Children on Israel are still in slavery in Egypt. And I do know the one true God.

    was Jesus turning the other cheek when He made a whip, and kicked over the money changers tables?

    Nor do we have a temple, for we are told in the New Testament that we, as Christians, are God's temple: NKJV 2Co 6:16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM. I WILL BE THEIR GOD...

    Is Knowledge of the Original Languages Necessary for KJV Believers?

    And the places where the English word or phrase used has changed its meaning since 1611. The AV/KJV makes it sound as though the Psalmist was saying that his prayer would stop God doing something: KJV Psa 88:13 But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent...

    What makes a Christian a Christian ?

    But looking at Thomas won't show me what post of mine you were thinking of in which you claim that I said I hadn't written something which I had written. You ask me not to ask you any more on this, but I wonder how you would feel if I accused you of saying something in one of your posts, but I...

    HOW CAN I BE 100% SURE THAT I WILL GO TO HEAVEN WHEN I DIE?

    Ah! that makes much more sense! Thanks. I thought it was some doctrine I had never heard of. :)

    HOW CAN I BE 100% SURE THAT I WILL GO TO HEAVEN WHEN I DIE?

    I have never heard of the Law of Chest before. What is it?

    was Jesus turning the other cheek when He made a whip, and kicked over the money changers tables?

    It would not mirror it at all. The buildings used by churches for worship are not temples. Some churches do not own a building but hold their services in hired premises which may be used for all sorts of secular things at other times, Nowhere in Scripture are we told that the rules that...

    Yes, the Lord does know what is in my heart better than I know it myself, because He knows all things.

    How do preachers or teachers explain this?

    To say that Ecclesiastes 1:9 and Matthew 24:35 mean that the Children of Israel are still being rescued from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt is wrong. Is Pharaoh still ruling Egypt? Are Israelites still salves there, being forced to make bricks without straw? Are their male babies still being...

    How do preachers or teachers explain this?

    That is true for us, but for first century Jews, "hate" was sometimes used to mean "love less." If Jesus had meant that His followers were literally to hate their parents, that would go against the commandment to honour one's parents, and anyway Jesus taught His followers to love even their...

    How do preachers or teachers explain this?

    I am not depending on my own understanding. The very fact that I have not drowned, even though I am not in a literal ark, proves that a word-wide flood is not still happening today. Besides, after the Flood recorded in Genesis, we are told that the Flood ended, and God promised that He would...

    How do preachers or teachers explain this?

    Yes, He compared His Second Coming to the Flood. He didn't say that the Flood is still happening. It doesn't contradict those verses at all to say that the events recorded in the Old Testament are not happening today. The Ecclesiastes verse says: NKJV Ecc 1:9 That which has been is what will...

    How do preachers or teachers explain this?

    Why? Where are we told in the Bible that part of knowing the "real Jesus" is seeing things like a world-wide flood, Israel being rescued from Egypt, David committing adultery with Bathsheba and causing her husband Uriah to be killed, are still happening in 2026? The apostles told the jailer...

    CCM stands for Christian Compassion Ministries. Whether that is what ZNP meant, I have no idea :)
