    Two Witnesses and Dead Bodies

    They are probably Michael and Gabriel. Consider this: Revelations 11:1-3 “Then there was given me a measuring rod like a staff; and someone said, “Get up and measure the temple of God and the altar, and those who worship in it. Leave out the court which is outside the] temple and do not...

    Happy to Dash Little Ones Against Stones

    Good analysis and thoughts. As much as the Father is full of mercy and grace, he still has a justice system which must be honored. If there was only grace, sin would abound. If there was only justice, who would survive? His law demands both, but only he can judge with equal weights and...

    When Does God's Law Take Presedence?

    God's laws trump government laws anyday if they are in violation of his sacred commandments. Esther 3 New American Standard Bible (NASB) Haman’s Plot against the Jews 3 After these events King Ahasuerus promoted Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him and established his...

    When Does God's Law Take Presedence?

    Nice story Sparrow. Praise God. This thread reminds me of the book of Esther. Mordecai saved King Ahasuerus from assassination. Essentially saving the person who was keeping the Jews captive in their land. Mordecai stayed true to God though by not bowing down to Haman. When the Jews death...

    When Does God's Law Take Presedence?

    Mark Nanos who wrote a book about the "Mystery of Romans" summed it up like this: Romans 13:1-7 has to do with the Synagogue government, whose authority the gentile believers were still under. This was something that did not settle well with many "on either side," and even drew criticism...

    How does that relate to this thread here? Lost. Or are we:horse here?

    Super Typhoon

    Interesting this movie coming out at this time. Although probably based "loosely" on biblical events, maybe this might have people start thinking. Maybe...

    When Does God's Law Take Presedence?

    I cannot support a government/system, or be in subjection to such when our governments continue to promote and sponsor genocide of the unborn, pander to special interest groups yet ignore the voices of the church, and general corruptness in all levels of politics. I truly believe this is not...

    Super Typhoon

    I saw a news article called "Where was God?" after this typhoon. My question is where was God in people's lives before this?

    The Mystery of Lawlessness.

    Sure doesn't get any clearer. 2 Peter 3:16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. Just remember end is the word...

    The Mystery of Lawlessness.

    2 Timothy 3 15 and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in...

    The Mystery of Lawlessness.

    And Paul makes it very clear through his discourse that those who may be confusing what he is saying about works without faith, and works with faith, he says in verse 31. 31 Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law. Psalm 119:142 142...

    The Mystery of Lawlessness.

    Jesus taught against the legalism you are presenting that was prevalent in his day by the teachings of the pharisees and sadduccees. Hear his words: Mark 3:4 And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their...

    The Mystery of Lawlessness.

    Your first sentence is incorrect, and the entire rest of your thoughts and premise crumble. Re-read the passages what I posted earlier: The Law of Moses is the standard of righteousness set by God. Deuteronomy 4:8 Or what great nation is there that has statutes and judgments as righteous as...

    The Mystery of Lawlessness.

    Sure you did. Taken from post #28 Really? So me, being a believer in Jesus who celebrates Shabbat, Passover, Pentecost, uses the name of Yahweh, abstains from food offered to idols (this just happened with a Hindu neighbour), or eats a biblical diet is now being lawless? Help me understand...

    The Mystery of Lawlessness.

    7 The Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered around Him when they had come from Jerusalem, 2 and had seen that some of His disciples were eating their bread with impure hands, that is, unwashed. 3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they carefully wash their hands, thus...

    The Mystery of Lawlessness.

    I don't think you read post #67. Here it is again: And just one more verse to ensure your theory is completely debunked. Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known...

    There must be a God if we are agreeing on something.

    The Mystery of Lawlessness.

    Not so much that, it is more about beginning to learn the bible from the beginning instead of beginning in the middle. Most people I know start a book at the beginning instead of the middle. Even John goes back to the beginning of Genesis in chapter 1 verse 1. Youtube Dr. Michael Brown debate...
