This in no way defends universalism, it is evident that not all are saved. Rather we do know that the Lord DESIRES that all be saved.:angel: Who the wicked are is a great question, and it will be quite a surprise to many who believe they are righteous (the self righteous). The trouble about...

There can be no doubt that all men are wicked, condemned by their own sin, it would seem that while we may disagree about the levels of ones sin over another's, it isn't about how far we've fallen. (We have all fallen far enough for hell). It is about how does God go about pulling us up. In...

I'm pretty sure the only thing that truly matters is your relationship with your parents. If you love them and taking care of them is natural for you, then you will continue to do it. The relationship with your sister is secondary. Yes that hurts, but when you're hurt don't react out of...

I assure you not temple worship will be made mandatory. That is opposed to everything in the domocratic way of life. In case you didn't notice the world is going farther and farther toward democracy. As I said, the rule of man's mind/reason is the beast's mark. If any temple is built I...

I don't think there will be any returning to the law, no sacrifices, none of that will happen, people find it repugnant to sacrifice animals and will vote against it. Rather, the world will slip into a 'mob rule' mentality.... well, it already has. Mob rule democracy, with a demagogue at the...

Well, yes, I think that I do. The falling away and "man of sin" Paul speaks of are not about one-person identified as the antichrist, for the antichrist is a spirit. Paul speaks of the "man of sin" in a prophetic nature there, just as God speaks of "man" in the holistic sense in many places...

Being as I no longer really fit into either the Pre or Post trib camps... I thought I would add a post, haven't been on here in a while. So mainly the reasons I fit neither is: The Great Tribulation has been ongoing since 70AD (and we are still in it) The descriptions of the Great Tribulation...

I think it looks like right now. No, almost no one will recognize it. Matthew 24:39

I do NOT think we are heading in the right direction, nor do I think Trump is helping us move closer to the right direction. He serves the God of money. What's really in his heart isn't for me to judge but by his actions I think we can say he is not for what is right. He pursues greed power...

The New heaven and new earth are an image that represent the world of human activity and order, they are not a literal depiction of a new planet and sky. God uses material images to imply spiritual truths, like wheat harvest representing God's kingdom, or figs representing Israel. So when...

The first, and most primitive of requirements is to understand you need saving (fear of wrath) The second step is to understand you cannot save yourself, and need the help of a Savior. The journey to finding that Savior could look quite different for many people, but Jesus said he IS the way...

again, I don't understand the need for you to define two Exoduses, except possibly to invent a reason why Jer 23 was fulfilled. It's not about the Exodus, it's about the quality of the change in the understanding of who God is to the Jews. God will CEASE being identified as a God who brought...

I'm not sure what your point is here. First off the Bible doesn't identify two Exoduses. There is one Exodus from Egypt, and one return from exile. Secondly, Jer 23 is speaking of a prophecy about a future time when Israel will no longer call God the God of the Exodus from Egypt, BUT, rather...

Except that Israel today reject Messiah, and therefore they are not, nationally speaking, God's people. Israel is a mystery known only to God, and the true Israel, are those written in the Book of life, which obviously is larger than original Israel. Per verse 1, the Israel Daniel is being...

The word decree is not in the text. In the course of Jerusalem's reconstruction, The gates of Jerusalem are rebuilt with bars, in the 32nd year of Artaxerxes, after Nehemiah has been in the city 12 years supervising. This corresponds to 434 BC - A FULL RESTORATION OF THE WALLS OF JERUSALEM...

The North Country isn't Babylon of Chaldea, the North Country is Magog and the nations with it. The North Country is Mystery Babylon, the Great Harlot sitting on many waters (nations such as Magog)

The questions may be crude, but ultimately, answers to them must resolve how it is that God can pre-conceive all creation, and not be held as the causal factor in the thoughts of men. The way in which we reason that we are agents with free choice is important, if we don't have free choice of...

Maybe you didn't understand what I meant. The fact is that no one knows how much isotope was in the material at the beginning of creation. An assumption must be made based on no facts, about whether there was any level of decay in the material at the moment it was created. In other words...

It also may be worth pointing out that God did not say he creates wickedness, which is different Hebrew word. Darkness has no meaning with out light (absence of it) Evil has no meaning without Good (absence of it) So if God withdraws his good favor from Israel so that evil can prevail over...

Supposing that God had things in mind before he created time, what were those things? And do those things in his mind count as equivalent to the predestined events within time? Troubling questions that follow this supposition about time and creation. Assume that Time is a "timeline", and...
