Your interpretation of Revelation is fictitious. The Church is the Church. It doesn't matter where it's located because it's still the Church. Are you saying Christ has two or more bodies? Maybe one for every continent? Because as far as I know Paul said that the Church (as a whole) was...

Palin actually did say something along the lines of, "We live near Russia", in answer to a question about her foreign policy experience. I don't remember her exact words. I think Palin was very unprepared for the media onslaught when she was announced as McSame's running mate as evidenced by...

John McCain and Sarah Palin fought a bitter and sometimes malicious campaign that attacked the man rather than the politics. This is ultimately why people were turned off by them. Even some Republican politicians started getting worried about McCain's tactics (according to an article I read on...

You don't seem to have set up a link in your profile for that banner. I'd be interested in seeing your site.

I'm with Biblewriter. To be honest with you, I find most of your posts confusing. I love you as a brother in Christ but I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about most of the time. Is it really necessary to start a new thread for every single esoteric (and often bizarre) topic you...

Since Spiritman won't address these issues perhaps I can. We relate to God on the basis of faith. That's how we receive everything from God. Furthermore, healing isn't always instantaneous. Some healings take time with lots of prayer and study involved. Regarding Trophimus, perhaps he...

I remember when I was first exposed to the "things of the Spirit". I was about 12 or 13 and my parents had been members of the Church of Scotland for several years. I'm not sure how, but my parents ended up meeting some Spirit-filled people from a small fellowship in a nearby town. My parents...

You're splitting hairs here. If my child said to me "Oh my Dad" I would most likely laugh. If, however, a child of mine used an obscenity then that's a different matter. As for my girlfriend (I'm actually currently single but I'll address this hypothetically as I did with the child above), I...

If you read the actual verse it's quite enlightening; Ex 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. (Emphasis added). God's name is YHWH (or transliterated into English, Yahweh). It was this name that...

Scientists are now blaming the media for spreading the myth of "global warming". What the scientists actually meant (or so they're now saying) is that the planet will undergo "climate change" (i.e., non-specific temperature changes around the globe), rather than "global warming". In other...

I'm pretty sure they didn't have Ribena in those days. John is quite specific that Jesus turned the water into wine. John 2:9-10 (KJV) 9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor...

This is what I was thinking too. Not everyone has to reply in order to pray for the guy. I read his post and my heart goes out to him. I'm not really sure there's anything I can say to him to instill some hope into him. I'll pray for him though.

This is similar to what happened to me. I grew up in Baptist and then Charismatic churches which took pre-trib dispensationalism as truth. We were never actually taught about the rapture or end times while at church, but the pre-trib rapture belief was always implied as though it was common...

I'd rather be Post-trib and be surprised than be Pre-trib and be surprised.

The rapture is a tricky subject and everybody has a different opinion. You could always discuss this in the Eschatology section, although you'll encounter some highly bizarre views from some of the people who frequent that section. You're best bet is to quietly study it for yourself. Buy some...

The problem with this is that you exclude Jewish Christians from the rapture. Why?

I'm only curious because I saw October 14 mentioned on another forum. So far nobody is giving a coherent answer. The Bible obviously doesn't mention aliens and I sincerely doubt any have visited earth or will do so in the future. However, sometimes I wonder... this universe is stupidly vast...

I saw a mention of this on another thread and asked about it but didn't get a serious answer. I also tried doing your Google search but came up with mostly wacko sites that I didn't really care to read through.

It's actually Revelation 18:24 that your quote is from. I used to believe what LaHaye taught, that Babylon would be rebuilt. But now I'm not so sure. Babylon could symbolize Rome (which is another commonly held view), or, like you say, could symbolize Jerusalem. There's a lot of evidence to...

We do know. It begins, like Paul said, when the falling away happens and the antichrist is revealed.
