    The Assumption Of Paul

    For those of you who haven't noticed, this individual "MindonFire" is committed to promulgating continually in this forum various demonic distortions of the truth. One of his primary teachings is that "The Messias", which is his term of choice, will arise from the earth and that we should all be...

    Peter: I very much appreciate your thoughtful reply, It gave me a lot to think about and I will continue to study it. I feel compelled to reply to only one point of yours. My reply will not be detailed, nor do I think there is much of a chance of you believing me, but at some point in the...

    Help!

    I wouldn't for a moment want to malign the guy or ruin his reputation. I wouldn't have even bothered asking to speak with him if I already didn't have some respect for him. Basically, all I knew about him was his sermons I listened to weekly. Talk about being in high demand, though - four to six...

    Help!

    Have you examined yourself and determined you were of the faith? Maybe you could describe that process. Believe me, it would be helpful. The problem I have is this: My old appetites and habits are always there somewhere in the background. I read a very disturbing article about the brain that...

    Help!

    Well, frankly, the response of virtually every Christian I have sought solace from has been the same as yours - to tell me I need professional help and then walk away. By this I suppose you mean professional psychiatric help, and presumedly because of my claim that the system of the Beast is...

    Help!

    This message is primarily a prayer request concerning my own personal salvation. I'm going through some things right now that are pretty horrific, but if I could deal with it if I just had complete assurance of my own eternal salvation. I've professed Christ since I was a child, but spent most...

    Daniel 11:

    Kingdom_Come - I thought the big obelisk from 2001 Space Odyssey taught man to make war. Is that what the AntiChrist will worship? Is that what caused Cain to kill Abel? Please provide evidence that the Canaanite Baal was a god of war. The extended entry on Baal I just read in the...

    Daniel 11:

    I don't know, maybe we should be out witnessing - spreading the good news of eternal life and forgiveness of sins through faith in Christ - not discussing lurid arcane minutia that's liable to lead the various nonchristian lurkers in this forum astray.

    Daniel 11:

    Like I say, I want to agree with you, But I have to present objections where I see them. OK let's see... Sun, Morning Light, Rider of Clouds... where is fortress mentioned??? A single reference on a coin for example to "Lord of Fortresses" would settle your argument, but I'm not seeing...

    Daniel 11:

    For the record, your thesis about people who worship war being the problem sort of resonates with me. Then again, the Children of Israel were pretty violent themselves, being instructed by God to annihiilate entire peoples. Its all very complicated.

    Daniel 11:

    Did you author the above passage? If you did its a compelling piece of writing. If you did not then you should reference the original writer. IF you did not originate it, then if you can cite the original author, it would provide the cooroboration I requested for your claim the Ba'al is the Lord...

    Daniel 11:

    JTF - more detailed response to your most recent post later, but in the mean time just a few questions and observations: As I said previously, considering Ba'al worship was so prevelant in the ancient world, I don't know why you think it would not even occur to any scholar previously when...

    Daniel 11:

    And one other thing JTF, the "desire of women" spoken of in 11:37 is usually understood to be 'Tammuz', part of your pagan trinity which you claim the Antichrist will venerate. But the verse in question says the AntiChrist will show no desire for Tammuz (i.e. the "desire of women"), thus...

    Daniel 11:

    Are you saying the Trinity has pagan origins and is part of the AntiChrist religion?

    Daniel 11:

    On what basis do you assert that Daniel knew exactly who the god of the antichrist is? You assert that this god is Baal, and you add the goddess Astarte, as well. The cults of these dieties (and another one you mention) were extremely prevalent in the ancient near east. And yet Daniel is told...

    The Two Witnesses

    [/color] OK how do we get 144000 "of the tribes of the children of Israel" are actually Christians (and not even necessarily "hebrew" christians as JTF suggests somewhere): In the message to the seven Gentile churches (which precedes the 144000 in Revelation) Christ twice refers to the...

    The Two Witnesses

    JTF: I did a search for ' Z' or ' Ze' in this thread and didn't find it, so I know you didn't discuss the most important passage on The Two Witnesses outside of Revelation - Zechariah 4: (Zec 4:1-6 NKJV) Now the angel who talked with me came back and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out...

    Nebuchadnezzar and 666!

    (Rev 13:6 NKJV) Then [The Beast] opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. Here are some quotes from the guy you say is the AntiChrist: (Dan 3:28 NKJV) Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach...

    666

    According to the following, Philadelphia was the historical name of the city. Its name was changed for a short period and then changed back to Philadelphia before Jesus ministry even began: http://www.arlev.clara.net/philadelphia.htm: Parousia has provided a lot of data supporting the 68-70...
