    The 3rd Temple shall be built beside Dome of the Rock

    I think an important point in this discussion is the proper interpretation of the Book of Revelation. What does it teach, who are the major actors, is the book future prophecy or past fulfilled prophecy or both? How you answer those questions will have a major influence where you stand on this...

    Books...

    Hi BFine, I have been reading all the books from H.A Ironside. He has written expositions on all 27 books of the NT, all the Prophets in the OT plus some others. I love these Books because he explains things clearly and honestly before God, they are for the lay people and have helped me grow...

    How can I get past this?

    I struggle with the same thing, some call it an inferiority complex, low self-esteem ect. I need to start my day out in the Word or I trip all over myself for the rest of the day. People that struggle with this need to find the right balance of love for self and a love for the others you are...

    Once saved, always saved.... advice?

    Hi NII, Are we saved by grace or by our own works? If who we are and our good works make us acceptable to God, I agree with you 100%. Though if we are only accepted with God because of the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ, I disagree with you. What does the Bible say?

    1 John 1:8-10

    Hi Jack, This epistle is written to those in Christ, not to those on the outside. We still sin as believers, and these verses are for us. Linked with this closely is the washing of the water of the Word

    Does God reveal Himself more to some people than others?

    I think the key to the quote is the condition of the persons state. If a born again christian is into sin the Spirit is grieved within them. Sin of the believer breaks communication with God. On the other hand the believer that has brought thier imagination and flesh into subjection to God...

    being single and inappropriate contentagraphy

    Mykim you are in a bad place. Aiki has given you strong advice, I would take it to heart the best you can. If you are a believer that has been sealed by the Spirit, inappropriate content is a Spirit quencher. You will not hear from God or feel Him in your life period. If you choose to have inappropriate content to be a part...

    Complicated Question

    Is a Jewish person that by race or religion. I was convinced that it is by race and it seems most people say it is by ones religion. Could it be that im mistaking it for an Israelite or Hebrew line. The reason I ask becuase there seems to be a clear distinction in the Bible between Jew and...

    should I be concerned about this particular prophesy?

    No, put no stock in this "prophecy". If he said something like God is going to judge America, that is not really a prophecy, yet is true of what is coming as we see how God deals with nations in rebellion. There are no Isaiah's or Elijahs walking the earth today. Gods prophecy through these men...

    books about prophecy and the future?

    I would disagree with you respectfully, more than a quarter of the Bible was of a prophetic nature when it was written. The most prolific prophecy in the Old Testement was the regathering of the Jewish people back to their homeland in unbelief in the end times. There is much unfulfilled prophecy...

    books about prophecy and the future?

    Things to Come by Dwight Pentecost- This is very good and gives both ways to interpret prophecy, literal vs spiritual. He stands for the literal, but you do get both origins and arguments The Late Great Planet Earth by Hal Lindsey- very readable writen in 1969 The Coming Prince by Sir Robert...

    I feel so confused about God

    Alex, your story is sad and you sound like you are in constant torment. If you are born again you can claim this promise. 2Tim1 [7] For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. If you are not born again and all you can rely on is your own...

    Need some advice about talking to atheist about Christianity

    I believe that evolution and the Bible are totally incompatible. In evolution death brought man into the world, where in the Bible it is a central doctine that man brought death into the world. If I can't trust the book of Genesis, I cant trust the Gospels, the epistles of Paul nevermind...

    I Am Struggling With Gay Desires

    Sonny welcome to the walk of a Christian in this world. I think from reading some of your post, you are saved with the Holy Spirit in you, but some of your understanding of scripture may have been influenced by legalistic teaching. As a person that believes in Christ, there is assurance of...

    Key to car was missing, searched everywhere for an hour and a half. Found the key eventually and went to work. Read a couple of chapters in 1 Samuel. The Bruins beat the Sabers. All these thing made me happy.

    Do suicides go to heaven?

    I take my view point from J. Vernon Mcgee. He believes that if the person was born again and had a genuine conversion to the Lord Jesus Christ, the person who commited the sin of suicide would enter the Kingdom. There are times as Christian's we don't feel like christians, sin has quenched the...
