Einstein’s special theory of relativity is a fundamental science that is infinitely more reasonable than evolution yet many people reject relativity because it has so many bizarre consequences. If you’ve ever struggled to make sense of relativity but couldn’t get past the physical mysticism...

God’s prophet to the Seventh-day Adventists once dreamed of how medieval the members of her own church were, when she lived in Battle Creek (Ellen G. White, Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 1, page 578). See http://www.everythingimportant.org/seventhdayAdventists/dupery.htm How should the...

There are three messages that will be given to the world, just before the world ends. See Revelation 14:6-12, quoted below. Immediately following the preaching of these messages, the world will be ready for the final harvest of both good and evil: Rev 14:14-20. There is a parallel between...

Jesus taught that the day of His appearing will be just like the day that Lot left Sodom. False teachers take this real historical analogy and fictionalize the incident beyond recognition. They teach (in essence) that the day Lot left Sodom the whole city was thrown into confusion and panic...

I disagree. I believe most of the Apocalypse deals with sequences of events from the first century to a real consummation of earthly history, including the end of sinners, and a true and ultimate Restoration not yet manifested. I wish to assume that everyone is aware of the Preterist...

Surely you recognize the New Testament expectation that the end of the world was to be in the lifetime of the Apostles? Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Mt 3:2; 4:17 cf. Mk 1:15. And Jesus was going about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good...

The historicist scholar George Eldon Ladd says that the three cycles of judgment—seven seals, seven trumpets and seven last plagues—is the greatest mystery in the book of Revelation. Scripture says, "It is the glory of God to conceal things, but the glory of kings is to search things out."...

I think we disagree on the word mystery. Rev 10:3-4 says, and when he had cried out, the seven peals of thunder uttered their voices. When the seven peals of thunder had spoken, I was about to write; and I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up the things which the seven peals of thunder...

The historicist scholar George Eldon Ladd says that the three cycles of judgment—seven seals, seven trumpets and seven last plagues—is the greatest mystery in the book of Revelation. I believe the greatest mystery in the book of Daniel is that the end of all things was scheduled to occur just...

I’m very excited about the Greek word translated Godhead (or Deity) in Colossians 2:9. I did a little study on this and found that the Greek word means “the state of being God, divinity.” I’d like to know if “theotees” (Godhead, Deity) in the Greek has the article the preceding it. In other...

No, no, no. The mystery is how that Christ could be one of us and at the same time be without sin. Our natures prompt us to sin. How could Jesus have a nature like that? Eugene Shubert

There is a mystery in Scripture regarding Christ’s human nature: In order to save fallen beings, Christ “had to be made like His brethren in all things” (Hebrews 2:17). Jesus appeared on earth “in the likeness of sinful flesh” (Romans 8:3). He was tempted by the devil (Matthew 4:1-11) and by...

It would be impossible for you to understand my answer because I can’t persuade you of the fact that there’s a difference between heaven and hell. If you already believe you’re in heaven, living in God’s many-roomed house with Jesus, why are you even wasting your time arguing with me? Eugene...

You are right Michelle. God bless you. Eugene Shubert

I believe that the victory was won in heaven and that Satan was defeated there. I see this earth as Satan’s last stronghold. Eugene Shubert

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may...

You don't even understand my question.

You folks sure know how to get off topic.

From reading what the Preterists say I keep getting the eerie feeling that Satan wants us to believe that the Second Coming already happened. If the resurrection already took place (John 11:24), and the saints were taken to heaven (John 14:3), then aren’t we the damned that were left behind...

LewisWildermuth, There are many examples of conditional prophecies in the Bible. For a direct statement on the conditional nature of the book of Revelation, please read A basic outline of the Apocalypse in this forum.
