I guess I don't see this verse symbolizing anything but rather John is describing a vision he is recieving and what he is seeing. There is a lot of symbolism in revelation but in this case I would have to disagree.

Using the story of Noah doesn't bode well for those who get a "second chance" as the futurist teaches. Not sure where you are going with John rising to heaven. I do agree with your assertion that elijah and moses do represent those who will be saved without seeing death and then the opposite...

I believe there is much confusion in discussing this subject because at the heart of the disagreement is what the new/old covenants were/are and what they mean. I wonder has anyone else considered that the "new" covenant could acutally be the oldest of covenants and the "old" covenant was...

The tithing of 10% is spoken of before the Old Covenant was ratified at Mt. Sinai. You seem to be missing the whole point of what the 2 covenants mean. Why was the old covenant weak and useless? And how does this pertain to tithing, returning to God what is His? All of this really is a...

To justify your assertion that the tithing commands were part of the levitical ceremonial system you must demonstrate that tithing is a shadow of Christ and that the antitype of tithe has somehow been fulfilled in Christ. I don't see where you have done this. Saying that, I don't completely...

This topic of "perfection" really comes down to an understanding of the 2 covenants. If you have entered into the new covenant with Christ, and yet do not believe that He can work in you obedience where does that leave you? Note this verse here... "A new heart also will I give you, and a...

As I read your post, I believe you already know the answer to your question of whether it is wrong. For you personally, if God is conviciting you of something we have one of two choices: To listen, or to turn that little voice off. What you have discovered about video games, as I have...

I would disagree with you that Daniel 2:44 speaks of a kingdom Christ setup on this earth... "And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, [but] it shall break in pieces and consume...

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Can it be any clearer?

Could you please provide proof of this mandate? I think this misunderstanding has gotten a bit out of control. Take Andrews University for instance... Go to the cafeteria and check out the students on any given day at the beginning of the year. One table will be filled with Samoans, the...

You are right honor, I am trying to understand this copout of using "culture" and "that is how we do it" argument for why it was okay for Wright to say what he did and for Obama to continue to allow him to be a spiritual leader in his families life. Apparently it is okay for some black pastors...

Did she say God sent an untrue message, or God did not allow them to fully understand the prophecies at that time? There is a big difference b/w the two. One God is holding back revealing the truth of a prophecy for a specific purpose, the other view says that God lied to bring about a...

So, is this preaching just as acceptable as Mr. Wright's. Please help me because I apparently(according to you) don't understand black culture and never will... Edit....

Where do you get the idea that the GC "sanctions segragation"? Because there is "black" conferences and "white" conferences. And "black" churches and "white" churches? Does this prove segragation? Hardly! If our churches were segragated there would be big signs on the door saying either "No...

What would 20 years of listening to this kind of speech do to a person? By beholding you become changed! I don't care if he says a 1000 times that he does not hold to those beliefs. Actions speak louder than words. If you have aspirations of wanting to be president of the USA, It would be a...

Did American's support Pat Robertson? I don't believe he got into double figures in voting did he? Apparently they didn't approve of some of the things he stood for. For all of you defending Mr. Wright, Do you also defend Louis Farrakhan? Apparently they have been brainwashed by the same...

Are you comparing that man's hate speech to the God's messages given to His people by His prophets?:eek:

Come on Moicherie, This is getting ridiculous... Comparing our churches issues with statements saying we deserved what we got with 9/11? Can you compare those things with a straight face? Of course I don't see why you would care anything about 9/11 as you are not american and could not...

Hopefully you have listened to some of the statements made... Would this be the kind of influence that you would choose for YOUR children. If you had heard those comments on more than one occasion, would you have stayed in that church? If you answer yes... it would be surprising... To excuse...

What Rev. Wright spoke was hate speech. Hate not only against whites but against Americans. Obama has pretty much lost his campaign. How in the world can anyone vote for someone who attended a church for 20 years where this man spoke and was his "spirtual leader"? If this is true how are we...
