Question about the antichrist and the endtimes.

Since a preterist believes that the antichrist was "Chained" during the destruction of Isreal, does that mean his "release for a short time" at the end of the 1000 years was the regathering of Isreal?

Re: Curious...

I'm not a dispensationalist, but I don't believe the church is neccesarily the recipient of the promises to Isreal specifically. For instance, I do believe we are the recipient of the Abrahamic covenant because it was made to him and his seed, which Paul elaborates further as being Christ, not Isrea...

Trichotomy v. Dichotomy.

I have had the understanding for years that there was a difference between soul and spirit because of verses like: Hebrews 4:12 New King James Version (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of ...

Re: Theological questions

I have to say, I haven't seen such in depth and rigorous biblical debate as I've seen on this forum. After seeing it, I realize now that the reason its possible is because of the mutual respect, I'm sure born out of love, that the participants show. I say this because on most other boards what I fin...

Re: Reconsidering "resurrection of the just & unjust" (take 2)

So, our bodies are sort of like Avatars? I haven't thought it through, Its just the picture I got when I read 1 John 3:2-3 2Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears[a] we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. 3And...

Re: Reconsidering "resurrection of the just & unjust" (take 2)

First, I think Revelation is giving us a word picture which isn't necessarily meant to be taken literally. Next, I'm going to go ahead and say at the outset that what I am about to say isn't biblical, its just how I picture this. Right now our souls aren't something that can be seen, but Paul says w...

Re: Mt. 7:21-23 "Not all who say Lord, Lord".

I don't think the point here is works v. faith. I think what he is trying to point out is that even if you have these gifts given to you, and you even perform miracles, it doesn't mean anything if you aren't obeying God. God's will is what is important, not even good works. There are many good works...

Re: Gregg - White debate

The Acts 13:48 part didn't go very well for you, but a doctrine like calvinism would need a lot more than just that to be acceptable.

Gregg - White debate

I just listened to this and I just have to say I was shocked by White. By the time I got to the 4th message, White was just dripping with anger and disdain for Gregg and his position. After listening to a few of the debates I really have to commend Steve on his composure during these things. I think...

Re: Meeting tonight...tips?

OK, I'm a couple weeks late, but if you meet them again or anyone else is meeting some JW's, some clear verses are Isaiah 7:14. A virgin shall bear a son and shall call his name Immanuel . Immanuel just simply means "God with us" im-with, anu-us, El-God Also, Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, a ...
