Lostthenfound,   Paul's words were meant to comfort a suffering church. It would be a cruel thing for God to say He was going to do something for these people soon and then wait thousands of years to fulfill His promise. If the Lord told you that He was going to do something for you...

Lostthenfound, What do you think Paul was talking about when he told the church at Rome: "And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet (Romans 16:20)." Could it be that something was about to happen concerning Satan?   Ozark

Bleeding Memories, Welcome to Christian Forums! That is the way things are around here. If you ask a question or make a statement, you will get a wide variety of responses from many different viewpoints. With a little patience the Lord will sort them out for you in time. As for your...

Smaller, Sometimes taking scripture out of context is a harmless thing. However, there are times when taking a verse or two out of the context of the particular chapter or book can do harm to its meaning. Some passages must even be taken in the context of the whole Bible both old and new...

Stormy, No offense, but that is not what I asked. My question was what does God see when HE looks at you. Does He define you or set your identity as sinner or saint? Moreover, I am sure you will agree that you are no longer alone. You are wonderfully joined with Christ. He is in you and...

Ashley, I have a question for you-- actually two. When God looks at you, does He see a sinner or a saint? Second, If we are in Christ, are we still in a position of being "short of God's glory?" Ozark

Well said Didaskomenos. If we study the scriptures we will see that God not only holds us responsible for what we do, but also for what we are. Sin is not just an individual act but it is also the human condition apart from Christ. The bible makes some very powerful statements...

Brian45 I will have to agree with manifestation. World without end is not a major premise of Preterism, and moreover Preterism is not dependent upon this idea. You are definitely straining out a nat a swallowing a camel. What you have here is a case of science verses the Bible on this...

  Hi Mike, That is what I did too. I studied them all. That is why I am a preterist. I know what you mean. I never thought I would be one in a million years either. Ozark

  Brian45, I was not speaking to you personally in my post. I was speaking generally. Truth must be sought like fine gold, and we will ultimately find that it is a Person-- the Person of Jesus Christ. I did not mean to imply that I know all there is to know about Him. I am sorry you...

Brian45, If we look hard enough we can find people and statistics to back up just about any position on any issue. This is how most people approach the quest for truth. I am a political conservative. So, what did I do on the issue of global warming? I went out and found statistics and expert...

  Brian45, Most of the stuff at this link is very controversial. For example, on the global warming issue, they have 1500 signatures from scientists that say global warming is a problem. Try the link below. It has 19,200 signatures from scientists who say global warming is not a...

These folks have a tendency to REWRITE scripture not just use it to prove their beliefs. Have you ever read the Jehovah's Witnesses bible? It is decidedly different than ours. Furthermore, these cults deny the Lordship of Jesus Christ. If anything, preterists magnify the present Lordship of...
