Re: Did the apostle John write Revelation?
Hi Paidion, I guess it's understandable that some consider these issues as less vital than "the weightier matters of the law, justice, mercy, and faith" (Matt. 23:23). The longer I study my Bible, though, the more I am convinced that there is virtually nothing in it that is not of "momentous importa...

Re: Did the apostle John write Revelation?
Hi again Paidion, Oh dear, hope you don't mind another tediously long answer here. You have the advantage over me, in that you have been posting here for much, much longer than I have, and people have become familiar with your viewpoint over time. People don't know where I'm coming from, so I have t...

Re: Did the apostle John write Revelation?
Hi Paidion, Love this subject. I suppose in your studies you have probably read the paragraph by Papias quoted in Eusebius' work that distinguishes between the "sons of Zebedee" (James and John), and one other whom Papias called "the presbyter John", one of the disciples of the Lord. I wonder if it'...

Re: The False Prophet by Ellis Skolfield
There's one fact that entirely deflates anybody's paradigm which has the Dome of the Rock being an Islamic fulfillment of Daniel's "abomination". The current Dome of the Rock location is NOT the site where Jerusalem's temple used to be. The Dome of the Rock is situated on the site of what used to be...

Re: What's in Zechariah's Flying Basket?
This Zechariah 5 prophecy is one of my favorites, probably because of its female imagery, and because of the whole "weird" factor that makes it a challenge to figure out. A couple years ago I made a study of it, and came to the following conclusions: This enigmatic prophecy of Zechariah 5 was made i...

Re: When was the Trinity revealed?
Hi again Paidion, Awww, that's so kind to a newbie member - made me cry! But I should tell you, it took many years to bail the buckets of bitterness out of the bottom of my boat before it would float again. That cult-church did wretched things with our family dynamics, and it was a long time before ...

Re: When was the Trinity revealed?
Hi Paidion, I'm sorry, but I can't find agreement with the idea that there is a change of subject at the end of Acts 13:33-34. The entire paragraph is a kind of "resurrection sandwich", with the Psalms 2:7 prophecy stuck in the middle between the two layers of sentences that both mention Christ risi...

Re: When was the Trinity revealed?
These are some ramblings from another perspective that haven't been brought up yet, as far as I can tell. Jesus was "begotten" by God on the day of His resurrection. Paul testified to this in Acts 13:33-34 when he quoted Psalms 2:7, and interpreted it as God having "begotten" Christ by His bodily re...

Re: Where have all the demons gone?
Hi Singalphile, Very sage advice. I've no disagreement with the wisdom of concentrating on one text at a time, so I'll pick one that both you and Steve have partial agreement with. I spent a few hours listening to Steve's lectures on the Heb. 2:5, Romans 16:20, and Isaiah 24-27 texts as he suggested...

Re: Where have all the demons gone?
Hi Steve, I hope you won't misunderstand the reason for the "tone" in which I post. I'm actually an awkward introvert, and have been all my life. But I also read verses such as "the righteous are bold as a lion", and try to act accordingly, so my Christ won't be ashamed of me. This being a website w...
