    Jacob I loved and easau I hated

    Greetings Alwayselearning, Esau was a Hebrew, as was his father and grandfather Abraham. Meaning that he was "of the nations" IOW a gentile. Now what we must consider is that Abraham was given a promise: He would be the father of MANY nations. However, the "covenant promises" would come later...

    Is Satan destroyed upon Christ's return?

    Greetings Dave, Well I am happy for you that you are no longer IN this world. I have the unhappy, yet joyous, chore of remaining IN this world, but to tell the truth, I am NOT of it. You might want to check out the seat next to you, because I am there IN SPIRIT. I remember Jesus once said that...

    Why are there no more Gospels?

    Greetings Caliban, Have you considered that everday there is a NEW "epistle" added with every Christian that is born anew into Christ? 2 Cor 3:2-3 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: 3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ...

    "Need" For Religion

    Greetings wiggsfly, Christ did not come preaching "religion". He came preaching: "The Kingdom of God is now among you." IOW, He came preaching a "relationship". We are now made righteous (right standing with God) through the atoning work of Christ. Religion is man's desire to work out his own...

    Is Satan destroyed upon Christ's return?

    Greetings Dave, So the Lion has already laid down with the Lamb. We are at peace in the world with no more wars. All our swords have been turned into plowshares. There is no more sorrow or tears. The reason why? Because we are NOW ruling and reigning with Christ UPON THIS EARTH. All these...

    explain what seems to be a contradiction

    Greetings Alwayselearning, I would sit down with the 14 year old and properly exegete the passages in question and relate them to similar passages found elsewhere. Most often, in fact almost always, when we are given a "rule of faith", we will ALSO see that "rule of faith" lived out in the...

    Pray for Satan

    Greetings Captain, No it is not possible to "save" Satan for the reasons already given, and you might give some thought to: Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. Satan is a "spirit being" and thus is not of flesh...

    Missionary??

    Greetings Rubies, Would you say that Jesus is the best example of a "missionary" that is given in the Bible? So what does it say about Him? "He came unto His own..." "He went unto the lost sheep of Israel." Or would you say the Apostles were the "missionaries"? Though many trekked out to the...

    Greetings Dave, Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in...

    Quoting the Bible.

    Psalms 119:101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. Psalms 119:102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. Psalms 119:103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Psalms 119:104 Through thy precepts...

    Quoting the Bible.

    Greetings, Psalms 119:1 ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. Psalms 119:2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. Psalms 119:3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. Psalms 119:4 Thou hast commanded...

    If by God's Grace we are forgiven then what is the purpose of Judgement Day ..

    Greetings Linssue55, Thanks. Very interesting ideas, albeit, it seems to me, that the interpretation is from the perspective of a Calvinist. Blessings, Dad Ernie

    Is Satan destroyed upon Christ's return?

    Greetings Dave, Yes, I agree the Lord destroys His adversaries, but didn't you notice, that He ALSO "RULES" over them? How can this be under your paradigm? Blessings, Dad Ernie

    Blood: Can a Jew following the law be a Christian?

    Greetings G4m, He could become a Christian, but could not become a Catholic, since Christians of the reformed nature do not believe the blood of Christ becomes "literal" blood, but is only a "spiritual" representation of the blood that Christ was to shed on the cross for us. Blessings, Dad...

    Greetings Dave, Revelation 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 3960 patasso {pat-as'-so} probably prolongation from...

    Is Satan destroyed upon Christ's return?

    Greetings Dave, And you don't consider that "adding to the scriptures"? Again I refer to: Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him...

    Is Satan destroyed upon Christ's return?

    Greetings Dave, Do you want to explain to me now the Woman and the Dragon in Rev. 12? When is/was Satan bound for a thousand years? At the cross? A.D. 70? Or at the end of the Great Trib? If Satan was bound, why is he then referred to as the "prince and power of the air"? And that He goes...
