    Signs of the Last Days

    I don't mean to start anything. I feel like what I've said in my post is truth. What I said can be heard in most Christian Churches and churches of Christ. We have fought errors over the years in the "restoration movement." Kenneth Gentry wrote several books on this subject and did a very...

    Signs of the Last Days

    I jumped into this thread without reading all the replies. John did say "must take place “SHORTLY" (Revelation 1:1 & 22:6; Greek word for shortly is "tachos" means 'at your elbow, speedily'.) and also "the time is near" (Rev 1:3 & 22:10) This book (Revelation) is an expansion of Matthew 24...

    Was the land promise to Abraham fulfilled?

    The bible is very clear on the fact that the promise was fulfilled. Most people (me too) when they read the bible "read into" (eisgesis) rather than "read out of" (exegete). This is something that we must be careful of. I believe, as the scripture says, that the “land promise” recorded...

    "peace and security"

    hmmmmmmm, I see now, :cool: it was your husband, the reliable source, that was talking about "peace and security." I can see also, from the bottom of your posts, Numbers 6:26, where he has influenced you to promote "peace." All you have to do is add "and security." Yes, you do need to...

    "peace and security"

    Don't take it so hard Terri.... :( Is is "peace and security," or is it "peace and safety?" He (your husband) had to have said it. Right? Or, did he say, "Bush said, xxxxxx and xxxxx." :D your servant in Messiah, Jesus, charlesj

    "peace and security"

    :rolleyes: It's really amazing to me that so many people are caught in the traps that Satan lays out. Is Israel our measuring stick? Where does it say that in the Bible? Please quote the verse or verses that says "Israel is our measuring stick." No, this is a premillennial problem...

    "peace and security"

    Just where do you people come from? You read or hear someone say something and then you pull a scripture out of context and apply it to that person. I've heard this for over thirty years! That's one of the problems of premillennialism. Let's watch our president and see if he drinks water...

    The NATURE of the resurrection, second coming, Heavens & Earth passing, etc.

    Christ, our Lord, will not rule on this mudball, His footstool. There is NO place in the bible that teaches or says that Christ will reign on this earth for 1000 years. Many "read into" (eisgesis) Rev 20:4ff a 1000 yr reign of Christ on earth, but it's just NOT there. You need to "read out...

    Good End Time Books?

    Nick... A lot of these false "theories" have been around a long time. Christ (and Paul) warned that they would. If you get a chance, read the book written by Kenneth Gentry (DATING THE BOOK OF REVELATION)and the one recommended earlier by GW (go to GW's earlier post on this thread. The book...

    The Resurrection was on a Saturday

    Bob10: Praise the Lord! He arose! I don't care if it was Sabbath or the “first of the Sabbaths” (mia ton sabbaton, translated first day of the week), He arose! If you get stuck on trying to figure out the minute He arose then you will miss the point of WHY He arose. Jesus didn’t finish...

    The Significance Of The Passover Attack on Israel

    Don: Thanks for your insight on the Israel. Is this Don K. Preston? If it is, I've bought your book (THEN COMES THE END)about six months ago. I really enjoyed it. I sat down on one week-end and read the whole thing. I couldn't lay it down. :-) I agree with you that the Lord is not...

    No, my eyes are just fine. Thank you

    I saw stars when my wife hit me.... is that close enough to get me to heaven? I know of of another person that was in a tunnel and saw a light at the end, but it was an on-coming train. I hope you are joking also. your servant in Messiah, Jesus, charlesj

    submitting to authority

    KIWI: When a person obeys the gospel of our Lord, they have a "direct" relationship with Him. No one is above that person! (except for the Lord) An elder(pastor), deacon, preacher, evangelist, etc. are NOT "over" a person. When the Christian joins hands, ideas, etc. and works with other...
