    The Lake of Fire

    Putting all the scriptures together, I have come to the conclusion that lake of fire is mentioned in 2 Peter 3. I believe the Lord Himself is a fire to which fleshy men (likened to chaff) are burned up but the righteous won't experience the second death because they are likened unto Christ and...

    link me free red lettered old testament version thanks!

    Well, my friend, there is no red letter Old Testament as Jesus was not around in the flesh yet, only in the New Testament, but there are online free to download red letter King James Versions. (Link at the end). Unless one subscribes to some other translation (i.e. $$$) only the KJV is public...

    Is “Easter” in the original Scriptures?

    I find those interesting as well, but the problem is that I don't think we have any examples how they intercalated but we have only mentions of the length of days in the Bible or their usage in books such as Enoch. Despite the possibility of having 30 day months or perfect 360 day years, what...

    Is “Easter” in the original Scriptures?

    Yes, thank you. I also use this one for the calculated calendar. https://web.uwm.edu/jewish-calendar/

    Is “Easter” in the original Scriptures?

    To all participating so far. I enjoy talks like this and I agree 110% with the OP. Regarding days such as Christmas,Easter, etc, it's what I call "Gentilization of the calendar". In the OT, the Lord had the time, place, the appropriate people and the "hows" of offerings and sacrifices. The...

    Alpha lipoic acid

    Back in the "Rodalian" days, and I like them because they were right out of PA here near to where I live, they did all sorts of studies in the 50's and 60's like you said including B-complex esp. B-3 and B-6 for psychiatric afflictions, vitamin C and vitamin E. I just wanted to mention that...

    Do you think god is a bully?

    I usually just reply to the OP, but your point brings to mind the "Burglar logical fallacy". The Burglar knocks and nobody answers so they assume nobody is home. Likewise an atheist prays, does not get the answer they want so therefore "God does not exist". But what the burglar assumed was no...

    The Great Apostasy in the Church.

    I won't comment on too much of what you said as they are examples of apostasy you've mentioned. However, I came across some folks (I'll call them) who teach that the Lord is trying to bring the church back from Babylon. From the beginning of time, it was Satan vs God and who will have the...

    Why we should stick with the (KVJ) King James Version

    I agree 110%. I always said that translators may put their own (denominational) spin on it (I'll prove that shortly as it's not hard). Whereas when the KJV was translated, it was by scholars with no denominational ax to grind. In addition, for reasons I won't mention here, it was translated at...

    prophecies from luz de maria, from jesus christ for the coming years 2024-2033

    Along this line, on another forum there was a warning out about links which were to AI sites. The "person" is not real. Not sure how that happens but they said it would be obvious. That said, I don't know if they were worried more about clicking on links for malware or if the AI site had bad...

    Bible software recommendation?

    For online study and Bible reading, go to blueletterbible.org I'm amazed at how many translations and study aides they have. You can also listen to the Bible whether by earbuds or reading along. But I'll say this one thing, if one listens to the Bible one can get through it faster in merely...

    The Pagan Origins of Christmas

    To the OP: I did not mean to derail the thread, as my comments were about the timing of events. But some other directions apparently came up I thought I had to answer. I'm not as young as I used to be and otherwise don't care to write such long dissertations. So my apologies. The point of...

    The Pagan Origins of Christmas

    My answers to your main points in red: Indeed seasons can be set times if you look up the Greek – while this one fact does not prove that, we have to understand that the Jews, the first converts, understood these times and seasons. This would have been passed along to the Gentiles since every...

    The Pagan Origins of Christmas

    No, I do not support those offerings as that's the Levitical system, but the timing of those feasts are significant, which BTW will take place in the end times as well and still apply for NT times. I do respectfully request that you stop putting words into my mouth and otherwise imply false...

    The Pagan Origins of Christmas

    Your chart is yet another strong indication of the birth time of our Lord. I do think that a verse in the Bible very strongly tells us the date of His birth in astronomical language that as I described it, "hits us Sir Isaac Newton types like a ton of bricks". The mention is coded, yet clear...

    The Pagan Origins of Christmas

    Very nice summary and I concur. I do believe that the scriptures give a specific date Jesus Christ was born (Clue: Christmas is about 3 months too late). The verse that says this hits us astronomically-minded Sir Isaac Newton types like a ton of bricks as a coded, but clear language as to the...

    How Easter was used against the Sabbath

    Sunday is Firstfruits day, on the morrow after the weekly Sabbath during Passover week. Then counting 7 Sabbaths after that to the morrow after the 7th Sabbath is also a Sunday (Feast of Weeks), hence the reason dates were not given for those days in Leviticus 23 like the other holy days. That...

    I Did NOT Just Read That!

    Excellent! You are diligently seeking and analyzing and I believe the Lord revealed that Psalm to you very well. Yes, that used to bother me, too, but like you, I looked at it from what you mentioned: context. The way I got past the seemingly nasty passage was to realize this was prophecy...

    Is drinking caffeine a sin?

    My first question is who says it's a drug? Same with alcohol? Probably the medical establishment who defines things as such (even natural things). By that standard, even natural foods and bodily substances like a vitamin E can be a "drug" if the Dr. prescribes that for circulation. Or again...

    The Pagan Roots of Christmas

    Yep, Revelation 12:1. The Lord timed everything by the feast days.
