    IF there was a Rapture at the start off a 7 year tribulation period, then

    If you read Revelation 14 carefully, the first reaping is of the righteous by the Lord (Rev 14:14-16), while the later second reaping is of the faithless by an angel who casts them into the great winepress of the wrath of God (Rev 14:18-20). This is where it ends and then starts up again in...

    IF there was a Rapture at the start off a 7 year tribulation period, then

    How is the gathering from uttermost part of the earth in Mark 13:27 heaven? Mark 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part...

    Sons of God and daughters of Men

    The problem with the book of Jasher is that the earliest version on hand today was written in the 17th century.

    IF there was a Rapture at the start off a 7 year tribulation period, then

    Good morning Ahwatukee, It's not the Lord who gathers His church, the Lord sends His angels to gather His elect. Mark 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the...

    The Bible is the word of God

    Yes, Ezekiel 40-48 does describe precise dimensions and locations of rooms. If you look at the dimensions they appear to be very small apartments. These small apartments also appear to contradict the Jerusalem in Revelation with streets of translucent gold, and 1,500 miles square, and in height.

    The Lake of Fire

    As Mark 13:27 says the Lord will send His angels to gather His people from the four winds, throughout the whole earth to the uttermost part of heaven, I'm then wondering if this is where the Lords people are gathered to the Middle East? Mark 13:27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall...

    The Bible is the word of God

    I believe most of the KJV to be Gods Word. One major exception, however, is Ezekiel 40-48, which seems to be all about architecture. It's as if a second scribe came along and added the last eight chapters with his fantasy of a utopic city. The book of Enoch which has been removed from the...

    Financial giving in the new covenant

    Tithing it appears was by the law an obligation, while offerings are supposed to be by what one has in their heart.

    Stuff in the bible that seems to make no sense

    My guess is it was for the benefit of all in order to believe. Think about it; if Jesus just moved the stone himself and left, then who would have informed Mary that Christ had risen? If Jesus moved the stone and left, would the guards have been shaking in their boots as they were with the angel?

    Sons of God and daughters of Men

    God is love (1 John 4:8 & 16). God is a Spirit (John 4:24). With the comprehension that God is a Spirit, and Love, the sons of God would then be spiritually attuned and know love. The daughters of men on the other hand would not be spiritually attuned and not know love, but would instead be...

    God LIED!

    Having faith/believing in Christ and His Way is opposite to believing in ones carnal nature. If one continues to have faith and grow in Christ and His Way, then ones inclinations towards their carnal nature should dissipate.

    God LIED!

    I heard it refered once or twice to teeth, but primarily in reference to dogs.

    God LIED!

    I do understand that. It was just an expression, like the expression being top dog, usually doesn't refer to canines.

    God LIED!

    I doubt anyone today meets the criteria for disciple. Nevertheless, just because I recognize that I do not meet the criteria for disciple, does not mean I am not of a little faith in Christ and His Way, and therefore am a little lower on the totem pole. As for recomending how to increase your...

    God LIED!

    Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

    God LIED!

    I think we are to look at people and see what kind of fruit they display. Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so...

    The Lake of Fire

    As the events in Revelation 20-22 come in at the end of the millennium reign, at which time all who are not written in the book of life are cast into the lake, including death and hell; your assertion then that the lake of fire no longer exists denies Gods Word where these do exist.

    God LIED!

    We really should be careful in not accusing each other, as it is the spirit of satan. Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which...

    The Lake of Fire

    And yes, darkness is a state people are in, when the light, the Lords illumination is not present (Isaiah 60:2). Isaiah 60:2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

    The Lake of Fire

    All who are not written in the book of life, shall all be together with death, hell, the Antichrist, and the devil in the lake of fire (Revelation 19:20; 20:10; 20:14; 20:15), which then would have to be they who are without/outside in Revelation 22:15. Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not...
