    Can women preach?

    Do we need to just look at Paul on this topic why not Yeshua. He raised the status of women they were allowed to sit with the men, in fact, he said it was a better choice. Another point is that Mary was the first to see the risen Yeshua and told to inform the men of what she had seen. She was...

    The 2 witnesses in Revelation

    It is hard to understand that the people will see the risen Yeshua and still choose to follow the side of evil in the final battle. It shows how easily deceived humans are. Would you consider the two witnesses to be more like the 12 apostles spreading the message from the Lord. Is this maybe...

    Sorry if I misunderstood you use of the term virgin but maybe we need to clarify words when we use them. This is the difficulty of online discussions.

    No it is was just a requirement for one particular prophecy (which leads to others being fulfilled), not all prophets. Therefore, not necessary a requirement for the two witnesses.

    Miriam's role was different to that of the witnesses. Also, God used people like Rahab in his plans, Mary who had been demon possessed etc. Being a virgin is not the requirement for roles.

    The 2 witnesses in Revelation

    So the clothes of the witnesses confirm that the message will a call to repentance. Does this help to work out who the witnesses will be? All the prophets of Old have been Jewish, so does this limit the witnesses to members of the Jewish nation? Therefore, Billy Graham is a non starter due to...

    The 2 witnesses in Revelation

    It is interesting that we have been told to look for the signs, so there is some importance in looking ahead. The debates we have on who and what the signs mean we won't get tunnel vision and miss them, we will be open to what they might be. However, to focus on the now is more important are we...

    The 2 witnesses in Revelation

    I don't think we see masses becoming awake or repenting because it says the people rejoice over the death of these two prophets. I don't think things change much, people have always hated the truth. I am stunned that even if it is not literal after the reign of peace there are a mass of people...

    The 2 witnesses in Revelation

    Hi Ryan An interesting concept. However, we would need a complete definition of Torah observance because the main commandment is to love God and your neighbour etc. This covers the Torah. It is not the additions made by man over the centuries in any denomination. Remember we would not go...

    The 2 witnesses in Revelation

    I didn't think it was a serious contribution to the discussion on who the two witness will be. Of course I maybe wrong. What are the reasons these two names were proposed as the two witness, what makes them suitable to be the two witness? If you go along these lines, it could be Mother...
