All I'm saying my friend, is that believers from the beginning have been persecuted for their faith and that continues until judgement day. To know our Savior that way, to love those who don't love us, was Pauls' desire, That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship...

Hello Stan. I believe Christians should ask "how" the "end times" affect the people of that time and also "why" it happens, because most of what happens has happened to some degree to every generation on earth. I believe the so called "end times" can be seen in the lives of those whose lives...

I believe that passage from Daniel refers to sin being forgiven through the Messuahs' sacrifice, because he showed he is willing to forgive anyone who repents of the sins committed against him, Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against...

Most people do read such texts as a plague that rots flesh immediately (while they stand upon their feet) and that may be the correct way to see it, but it is also true in a sense that decomposition of body cells in living humans happens over time, so if we look at it from that angle, it's also...

Being devoured by fire is the result of not heeding Gods' word, the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. Jn.12:48 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD Jer.23:9 But rotting flesh is nothing new. That happens every day.

No my friend. Jesus withheld his anger against people who sinned against him in vile manners. He bore even the most vicious sins people can commit against him (against God) and still gave them time to repent. That's really good news.

When Paul says that Jesus died "according to the scriptures", he means Jesus was unjustly condemned to death. No. Justice by the law requires the death of the sinner, not a substitute. Jesus demonstrated the mercy of God, not the justice of God. If Gods justice according to the scriptures had...

Hello Pilgrimshope. Our Savior was bruised in the sense of correction, as every son of God is, For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. Heb.12:6 Jesus wasn't punished in place of any sinner, but as an example of how merciful God is toward injustice...

The punishment our Lord took was being lied against by false witnesses and executed for a sin he didn't commit. Conspiracy to commit murder is sin and Jesus bore it and more. Spitting on God. Stripping him naked, beating and mocking him and he bore it.

That's the gospel truth. If the sin done to our Lord Jesus doesn't make people sorry for sinning against him, nothing will. And as we grow in Christ and begin to experience some of what he suffered (for doing right), it's a humbling experience to respond to persecution with the love that Christ...

The idea that everyone on earth would live in peace during Messiahs' reign isn't taught in scripture. Jesus said, Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. Mt.10:34 Our Lord does give his peace to his people, Peace I leave with...

I happily agree.

You got it. The seed is the word of God. It's amazing how we could spend our whole lives studying and even teaching the word of God and then not know God. That's what happened to many of the religious leaders in bible times. They could recite the OT, but things choked the real meaning of the...

I think Jesus is fulfilling his work now, including the fall feasts. When he returns, it's all done.

I believe we reign now in "heavenly places in Christ." Our Lord allowing people to sin against him without immediately passing judgment on them, doesn't mean he wasn't reigning over them. The King also gave us, his ambassadors, the order to reign over all creation in love. There is no higher...

Exactly. The second I saw my keys, which I walked past in dim light a dozen times, I said, "Thank you dear God." Now all I have to do is let his life in me reflect my thanks to him, 😊 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and...

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Mt.5;16

I'm glad he did too. 😊

That's it all the way through, There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Rom.8:1

This helped me find the keys to unlocking much scripture, And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: Isa.58:10 I'm confident it unlocks all scripture. It's really just another way of...
