Here's a scripture I like and will include just for fun:DANIEL 12:9-10“And he went on to say: “Go, Daniel, because the words are made secret and sealed up until the time of end. Many will cleanse themselves and whiten themselves and will be refined. And the wicked ones will certainly act wickedly, and no wicked ones at all will understand; but…[Read more]

This is what I've often wondered about and asked each of you a couple of times. But I feel this discussion belongs moreso in the “gospel” thread. What is the message we are to preach?What is the message we are preaching?Hey Nick, have you ever been to:Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwe-nuakit natahu, a New…[Read more]

DANIEL 12:4““And as for you, O Daniel, make secret the words and seal up the book, until the time of end. Many will rove about, and the knowledge will become abundant.””Are you saying this scripture refers to knowledge in general, scientific knowledge?

Why do you so often answer questions with question?

Too bad. While I've often had to try to prove the existence of God, I've never really met anyone that believed in God but not Satan. So I was looking forward to attempting to understand the reasoning better and what the scriptures actually do say about Satan the devil.

“unlikely” to be men, or not men?Men or not, this isn't really what we're discussing.We're now discussing the identity of the one on the white horse who “went forth conquering and to complete his conquest.”But before that, I was really wanting your opinion on how those two scriptures related. You don't think they really do. Ok, that's what I was…[Read more]

If you were a follower of Jesus living in the first century and someone asked you “what is the advantage of being a Christian,” what would you tell him?Well, my answer would be similar to your responce.

Since when have you ever cared what “most believe”?“And I saw, and, look! a white horse; and the one seated upon it had a bow; and a crown was given him, and he went forth conquering and to complete his conquest.” (Revelation 6:2) In the Bible, the horse often symbolizes warfare. (Psalm 20:7; Proverbs 21:31; Isaiah 31:1) This horse, gleams wit…[Read more]

While archeology and science have often taken their time in catching up with the Bible, the Bible has never been wrong when it touches in these areas. Science thought is always changing. It's been wrong often and if history has taught us anything, many scientific thoughts of today will be proved the same some day. With my experience, often one…[Read more]

That last question was supposed to end by saying: “…the ones described in Rev 6,” not 7.sorry.

Right, if Satan, the ruler of the world, the god of this system of things, in whose hands the whole world is lying, was cast down to the earth, expelled from heaven, and was angry realizing that he has little time left, little time to prove his claims, little time before being abyssed, what would the world look like?Would it look like the things…[Read more]

More than 50% of the people in the world have never used a telephone, much elss a computer. I keep wondering how you will reach these thirsty ones.We have not given up on anyone. Hence the answer to Brandons question of long ago as to why we repeatedly knock on peoples doors.

No, you're not right. You are quite wrong. Very, very wrong. Well, about that last sentence that is. Very wrong.

Yes. The great war (as world war 1 was called) was a pivitol point in history. For the first time, the world went to war. Many historians indicate that the world seemed to change at that time.I'm wondering what you and a couple of other people think of these scriptures and how they relate to one another:REVELATION 12:7-12“And war broke out in h…[Read more]

That's certainly a part of it. But what did Jesus preach while on earth? What was the theme of his message?What is the “his work” that we can continue until he returns?

Nick wrote:”Hi david,Because it would seem that even the stupidest of men could not miss the amazing events predicted before he comes. “We must not forget that Satan rules this world. People, in their hard-hearteness have allowed themselves to be blinded by this world's god. (2 cor 4:4)To you it may be completely obvious that God is not part of a…[Read more]

Why do you ask? Did you need some oil? (I'm just kidding of course.)

Nick, what is the gospel (good news) in your opinion?

The way to not be caught unaware is to be awake all the time.It will be just like the days of Noah. They took no note until the flood came and swept them all away. So the presence of the son of man will be. And this despite the good news of the kingdom being preached everywhere.I'm uncertain why you say events would either be happening only…[Read more]

No answer? That's ok.I want to add this to this thread. Nick raised stated the following in another topic:“Heb 2.4″,God also testifying with them both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will”So where does it state these gifts have been withdrawn?”NOWHERE IN THIS VERSE NICK. BUT I N…[Read more]
