Please note the difference between the Empire (Kingdom) and the king.

The first thing to consider is that is to look at Daniel whose prophecy described 4 or these kingdoms says:

1. A beast like a lion with eagle’s wings;
2. A beast like a bear, raised up on one side, with three ribs between its teeth;
3. A beast like a leopard with four wings of…

Oh good. You made a simple post. I’ll reply to that soon. I’m in my car at the moment.

Adam. How about having a conversation about it. Wacking each other with essays doesnt work. Keep it simple. How about making your point to me in one or two paragraphs.

Hi Proclaimer, thanks for reply to my post. But I am sorry to say that you are going out of context of the the text of Revelation. Please read the portion of my post you quoted above again;

Your not making much sense. It says one is yet to come meaning there is one left with an eighth coming from that. And 4 have already fallen. Then you say it’s…[Read more]

I haven’t been following this topic and have skim read through a post here and there. So forgive me if I miss some kind of context that changes what I am reading.

What we are not asked to do is to find the second, futurist,’fulfilment’ of this text—because John did not intend one, and his readers did not need one.

There are also seven kings. [Read more]

who is the radiance of his glory and the representation of HIS ESSENCE,

Once again we have two different things here.

HIS & ESSENSE

Essense does not mean His.

“He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature,

So we see two things here.

He and God’s nature.

They are not the same thing.

I’ve been to Misiones. It has an interesting story about the Jesuits and the community they created. It is home to mate, a coffee like drink that many South American footballers drink before matches. One of the world’s wonders is located here. Iguazu Falls. Here are some pics I took about 12 years…[Read more]

You are arguing for nature or form which I am in agreement with.

God is an identity or person though, not a nature.

God’s Sons have or participate in divine nature because they are born of God and therefore are like him.

The Son of God is in fact the very image of the invisible God.

There is a reason why Jesus Christ is the Son of God and not…[Read more]

A person has substance.

A substance doesn’t have a person.

The Trinity assumes the latter simply because there is one divine substance but more than one person who is composed of that. And because God is one, not three, thus God means the one substance part. At least the Trinity spells out that there is a difference between a person and s…[Read more]

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 ideas developed during the Intertestamental period.

What if there is truth and it is revealed slowly in the right season. Or do we believe that 1…[Read more]

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]

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?

Mike. Thete is a difference between being created and being begotten.

No eternal life will certainly be the case for some people.

On day 1, God created the earth with the sole intent that it would be inhabited by his crowning jewel of creation: mankind. On day 4, God created the sun as one of many lights that He placed in the firmament.

There are two options that you are not considering. Planets wander through the universe and then get caught up in gravitational fields.…[Read more]

God is spirit. When he works in the material, he often uses others who are composed of material.

In the case of the divine Word that was with him in the beginning, it makes sense that there is an intermediatory between God and his material creation.

If God is love, then love requires someone to love. It is because of love that anyone exists and…[Read more]
