    "666"

    I was amazed when I first saw this, and wanted to share it. Did you know there is a reference number in Strong's for "666"? Here it is: G5516 Çξ chi xi stigma (khee xee stig'-ma) The 22nd, 14th and an obsolete letter (G4742 as a cross) of the Greek alphabet (intermediate between the...

    Aborted babies

    Will aborted babies get their bodies back and be allowed to grow up during the Millennial kingdom, be resurrected as an adult at the rapture, or what? What do you think?

    food for thought

    Having pondered this verse years ago, I recently ran across it again, and thought I would toss it out there for some you deep thinkers: Most are familiar with the man who was born blind, whom Jesus healed by anointing his eyes with a salve of spit and dirt, telling him to wash in the pool of...

    Life Lessons

    Get connected The light bulb is a great invention. While the candle and oil lamp are still a good, reliable source of light in the dark of night, the modern light bulb is very versatile: from flashlights, to the headlights in our vehicles, to Christmas lights, light bulbs have a wide range...

    Life Lessons

    Hi, Over the years, I've put together a number of simple spiritual lessons I've discovered in things that we all see everyday, but rarely think about. I call them life lessons--for lack of a more original name, and I think some may find them interesting, and maybe even useful. Anyway, I'm not...

    he maketh fire come down from heaven

    Hi Joe, Unfortunately, we don't need to do anything to be a lost sinner--we're born that way. A "good" man who neglects Salvation will end up in the lake of fire as surely as a Satan-worshipping, mass-murderering, child-molesting lawyer. On the flip side, God will wash either one in the...

    he maketh fire come down from heaven

    Hi all, Given that the purpose of the false prophet is to deceive the world about the beast, and make him an object of worship, I still lean towards the calling down of fire as a "lying wonder" for the purposes of religious deception. An attempt to present forged divine credentials seems far...

    What does Acts 2:38 really say ?

    As to the question of whether water baptism, as described in Acts 2:38 was for Jews only, I think the Lord answered this by ensuring that the book of Acts documented the fact that the three main groups of people--the Jews, Samaritans, and Gentiles, all received the very same Gospel--which always...

    he maketh fire come down from heaven

    A little off the topic, but my thoughts... yes, it is very possible, especially because many people don't know, won't know or believe this prophecy was realized in Jesus' time. But before I box myself in, I never rule out the possibility of a multiple fulfillment of some sort. Hi Vic C...

    he maketh fire come down from heaven

    Hi guys, New kid on the block here, figuring out how things work and lookin' around for a spot to jump in. I was wondering if any of you have ever considered the possibility that the false prophet might actually claim to be the latter day return of Elijah (Malachi 4:5). That may seem academic...
