    Hello Stateri Does it provide insight into the mind of God? No, But it does provide insight into how the apostles interpreted the transfiguration and how they taught it to others of their day that understood and spoke Greek,

    Abuse of Jesus' teaching

    Hi Oregal You know you hit the nail right on the head, Why it never clicked on me I do not know because it it so obvious, Cnristianity has its roots in the drunks and the prostitutes, People who live in despair and poverty, A slaves religion, And that is why we do not see so much of it...

    Hi Oregal Job, Shows when things are at there worst you are still part of Gods plan, Ecclesiastes, Shows being stranded on a desert island with God is better than a life wealth and plenty with out God, Jeremiah, Shows that even though you are in a country you love you can still be hated...

    Abuse of Jesus' teaching

    Hi Jim And again I agree, A watered down message is no message at all, I wonder if this is something that is inherent in the churches in the west though, I live in the Philippines and I have discovered that people there are very recieving of a true bible message, In fact peope are literally...

    Abuse of Jesus' teaching

    Hi Jim I agree, The wheat and the tares parable also applies to Pastors, I think we see much more of the ministry of the tares than we do the wheat, It does seem that those pastors who keep the flock go with out and those who fleece the flock have plenty, Living over seas I have seen...

    Which should I do?

    Hello Brother Max You have been here for awhile and are well known, If you change your Icon now you would probably find your problems increasing rather than decreasing posting on the Messianic forum, If they see you as threat now that is not going to change by just changing your Icon, And...

    Abuse of Jesus' teaching

    It sends the message that the pastors are more concerned with spreading the gospel than they are leading comfortable lives, That they are actually practicing what they preach, They do not seem to have any problem with TAKING money from people who live in rundown homes and drive cars that...

    Hello Stateri In Luke 24:44 when Jesus opened the understanding of the apostles to the scriptures they the understanding they recieved only dealt with messianic prophecies of the OT, They did not know all things, Including certain information he had already given them in the parables he...

    Mt 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Mt 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom...

    What went wrong?

    hello Stateri On the contrary, I have taken the time to read it in context and look up the meanings of the original Greek, This is not the first time I have discussed these verses with some one, I have some preterist friends in the Church of Christ who also do not believe that...

    Hello Stateri, I would say for the very same reason they did not say "this is the fulfillment of" after quite a few of the things Jesus did, Basileia is the word that has been translated as kingdom, As can be seen from below, There are several meanings to the word besides the territorial...

    Hello Stateri Being a theologian I am sure that you are aware that in the original manuscripts there is no Matthew 16, Chapters and verses were added to the bible in the 1500's, More than a few of these additions break up the coherent flow of the original manuscripts, If there were no...

    What went wrong?

    The point Is Stateri is you have said plainly that God is unsure of what will happen next, He he does not know for a fact the future, He only deals in possibilties, This undermines every word of prophecy in the Bible, A prophet was condemned to death if what he said did not come to pass...

    What went wrong?

    Hello Stateri You are now contradicting what just said several posts ago, That God was not sure if Adam and Eve would fall to sin, That is was an unkown thing to God, Maybe they would, Maybe they would not, A grand chess master also realizes that it is also possible for him to lose the...

    Investigative Judgment

    Hi all This is already explained to us through the end time prophecies that Satan will decieve the church which leads to another question that really is not Adventist specific but affects us all as a body of believers, We have a home church that we have started at home and I have noticed...

    What went wrong?

    Take a close look at what you have said here, This means God really does not know the beginning from the end, He just has an educated guess at how things will turn out, This means that when God makes a promise there is a remote possibility that he will not be able to make good on that...

    Hello Staeri So you are saying that God did not already know that sin would enter the world when he created it???

    What went wrong?

    Hello Stateri Odd, I see the same thing in your posts, As I have said, To come to your conclusions there are certain sections of the Gospels and the letters of the apostles that you have to ignore that plainly show that the second coming was going to later rather than sooner, for one...
