I am sorry I think most of the posts have already deviated from the topic. I was just replying to Mike on resurrection and afterlife. It’s good to remind.

No problem.

I just thought you might want it in a more topical discussion as it would get more views because people will search for stuff based on the topic’s title.

Diverging is fine, but t…[Read more]

When no natural explanation seems adequate to interpret a particular event, an atheist historian can employ his own idea of ​​luck: historical accident. The following quote from a recent volume on ancient civilizations will ser…[Read more]

Adam…..John was transported in “TIME” to the “day of the lord”, in fact to the lasts days of the thousand year rule, of Jesus and the Saint’s,  so from that prospective the time would be “SHORT”, things would shortly come to pass.   That’s the part people are not realizing,  he was prophesying from the prospective of being,  “in” the latter part…

Mike…..When Jesus said to God the Father, “you are the “ONLY” true God,  he was referencing his own personal belief , AND PERSPECTIVE,  I also believe the same way.  But that is not to say there are not other true Gods, to others OUT THERE,  now is it?  But we who believe like Jesus “ONLY” have “ONE”  , WE CALL GOD, That is YEHOVAH. ,  “ONLY…[Read more]

Was Revelation written about the distant future?
December 9, 2013 by Ian Paul
Both popular and academic readings of Revelation still suffer from a need to find some future supposed reference to various features of the text. This is despite considerable evidence that the text would have made good sense to its first-century readers, and that many w…[Read more]

For Sis Karmarie…..

Hi Adam.

I believe Revelations includes today. But it is a mystery, and too many people take it literally.

Hi Sis Karmarie, it’s off the topic. As a Skeptic I negate all those Christian views of Jesus’ Parousia, The Anti-Christ, the Mark of Beast. These Apocalyptic writers including Paul meant their so called predictions for their immediate…[Read more]

I ate meat for the first time last week at my son’s house (crockpot slowly cooking all day smelt so good!). First dish of meat I’d eaten in about three years. I ate it fine (didn’t think I could). If we have to go bush due to homelessness, due to mandatory vaccines then I might have to eat meat. Haven’t eaten it since but at least I know I can do…

FOR US, CHRIST HAS ENDURED THE CROSS

Having found himself in the position of a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient unto death, death on the cross. (Philippians 2.7-9)

FOR THE JOY that awaited him, he suffered the torment of the cross, despised ignominy and sat forever at the right hand of the…[Read more]

Hi Miia, this is Adam and I got both doses of Vaccine.

What vaccine did you get gadam?

Good question.

It always amazed me that the virus came from Wuhan and there was a Virology Lab called Wuhan and you weren’t allowed to connect the dots because that was racist.

Such stupidity in the world these days.

Hi gadam.

Is that relevant to John 1:1?

Hi Miia,

Do you now believe Covid 19 came from a lab?

Seems I got my answer in the very next post you made to Gene.  Okay… so no everlasting life.  How then can God’s servant David rule forever?

Hi Mike, thanks again for your replies to my posts. In fact the Jews believe lot of things like eternal life, immortality of souls, resurrection…so on and so forth. But I am not interested in such news…[Read more]

Gene: And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 

This is the only TRUE GOD that is important to consider along with the Lord Jesus Christ.

This is the same as before Gene… an emphatic statement.  It’s just like this one from Paul…

WHAT THE FATHER IS, IN THE BIGINNING
THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON WAS ALSO

WHEN WILL YOU UNDERSTAND THIS VERY SIMPLE THING?

I do understand it.  The Father is a spirit being.  The Son he created in the beginning is also a spirit being.  The sons God created after that first one are also spirit beings.

But you try to take it farther tha…[Read more]
