    Paul's opponents in early Christianity

    Who were Paul's opponents in early Christianity, and does anyone wonder why he had so many opponents? Does anyone else find it strange that an apostle would have people actually resist him? Wouldn't his authority be nearly absolute?

    Lk. 3:36 - Mistake with Cainan?

    It appears that Luke (or an early scribe) makes a mistake in the genealogy of Christ: "36 the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, 37 the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalaleel, the son of Cainan," Lk...

    Church Hierarchy

    "28 And God has [r]appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues. 29 All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not...

    The Lord's Day of Vengeance and Wrath

    Because Revelation isn't in chronological order. I really suggest you read that thread I posted about the sixth seal and study the passages very carefully.

    The Lord's Day of Vengeance and Wrath

    Hi, Please interact with the Scripture I posted regarding the 6th seal in my thread. The book of Revelation is not in chronological order as you suggest.

    The Lord's Day of Vengeance and Wrath

    Here's an old thread that I started on the sixth seal where I show that it is indeed the day of Christ's return: The Sixth Seal: The True Interpretation

    The New Testament and Worldliness

    A few passages on the New Testament and the things of this world. Feel free to comment. "18 For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ, 19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their [l]appetite, and whose glory is in...

    Should the church have a healing ministry?

    OK, so, where is this healing ministry in the church today?

    Are there two judgments?

    Well the judgment in Mt. 25 and in Dan. 12:2 is one of condemnation. My idea was that all that have ever professed Christ get resurrected and judged at the return of Christ and that some who professed a false gospel are sent to hell right then and there. Also, what is the "day" in Mt. 7:21...

    Should the church have a healing ministry?

    We must also deal with the fact that Paul left Trophimus sick at Miletus and, of course, that Timothy had a problem with his stomach. We could imagine scenarios where Paul is unable to get to Trophimus in Miletus and heal him. The question, then, is is the healing ministry of the church...

    "Contradictions" with the sovereignty of God?

    Here's the question: does the Bible really claim that God controls everything that happens? We have a few passages: "11 The Lord said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes him mute or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?" Ex. 4:11 (NASB) "The One forming light and...

    "Contradictions" with the sovereignty of God?

    So then why does Satan claim authority over all the kingdoms of the world in Lk. 4 and Mt. 4, and why is he in authority over all the kingdoms of the world in the book of Revelation? Cast out from where? Heaven? The human heart? I'm just trying to be clear about what you're saying: are...

    2 Th. 1:7b-10 and Rev. 14:9-11

    Sure, send it.

    "Contradictions" with the sovereignty of God?

    There are a couple of passages I'd like to look at: "16 And this woman, a daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan has bound for eighteen long years, should she not have been released from this bond on the Sabbath day?”" Lk. 13:16 (NASB) If God is sovereign over all things, then how could...

    Are there two judgments?

    Is there one judgment at the return of Christ, described in Mt. 25, Rev. 11:18, Dan. 12:2, etc., and also the final judgment described in Rev. 20:11-15? Would the first judgment be for all those who professed Christ during the church age, and the second judgment be for all those outside of the...
