    EVERY EYE WILL SEE -- EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS - EVERY KNEE

    MY COMMENTS: Greetings. First of all, and you may know this, "saint" is applied not only to believers in Christ and members of His Body, but also to righteous Israelites and Gentile proselytes or 'God- fearers'. Thus, in Rev. 7:14, these tribulation "saints", IMO, are not the Church/Body of...

    Are Calamities Judgment from God?

    I believe that God has designed the earth where the forces of nature behave according to His prescibed design. That is, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, etc, occur as certain pressures or temperatures are relieved. The "ring of fire" around the Pacific Ocean, where the preponderance of...

    The war of Armageddon - spiritual or physical

    I believe the gathering of the armies of the world at Harmagedon will be a literal event. I interpret th Bible as literal unless it is obvious from the context that it is figurative, or perhaps, symbolical. Based upon a number of things, I understand Revelation to be yet future, and has to do...

    God Judges both the Sinner and Their Supporters

    Are you saying that the judgment that will come upon the supporters, as well as the sinners, will be at some point fire and brimstone raining down from heaven? or will only the supporters be turned into a pillar of salt?

    Did we live as spirits before the earth was created?

    My answer is NO! "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." Gen. 2:7, AV. NOTICE: A separate soul was not joined to a prepared body. Man became a living soul when the breath of the spirit of lif...

    The Resurrection of the Dead

    MY COMMENTS: I agree with Luci, little detail is given of this question. However, I have my ideas. First of all, I believe all in the body of Christ are mature enough to believe in Him as their personal Saviour. That is, young people, perhaps as young as six, for I have heard testimonies...

    Do you really believe Christ died for you?

    MY COMMENTS: Yes, I believe that Jesus died as a sacrifice for mr sins.....the Whole Person. Unfortunately, traditional theology has his soul going to "hell", his spirit going to the Father, while only his body is dead in the tomb. Tradition would have Jesus' "soul" alive with the abilty to...

    The Trichotomy of Man (part I)

    MY COMMENTS: I believe "trichotomy" means to be cut (tomy) thrice (tri). I would not describe God as a "trichotomy," but as a "Trinity." Indeed, the Lord God made man in the "image of God", "after his likeness" (Gen. 1:26), and I believe this involves lot more than just the above three...

    Is Hell Permanent or Temporary?

    MY COMMENTS: Hi Poobah. It is true, the word "hell" is found in most English Bibles, because that is the view of the compiler/translators. But, the words in the original languages can not mean the traditional view of "hell". That it is place of fire and brimstone somewhere in the center of...

    Is Hell Permanent or Temporary?

    SEEMS TO ME, ONE KEY ELEMENT IS, WHY DID THE 'TRANSLATORS' CHOOSE "EVERLASTING" OR "ETERNAL" FOR WORDS THAT SHOULD NOT BE TRANSLATED THAT. "OLAM" (A NOUN) IN THE HEBREW, SHOULD BEST BE RENDERED "AGE"; AND "AION" (NOUN) AND ITS ADJECTIVE, "AIONIOS" IN THE GREEK, SHOULD BEST BE RENDERED "AGE"...

    Eternal torment or Annihilation? What happens to the Wicked

    Hi Hobie. You have opened a subject that needs studying and understanding of the literal meaning of many key words and phrases. And many are discussed in the other posts. This and similar subjects have been made clear to me through some excellent pastors/teachers in the past. May I outline...

    Salvation by Faith Alone?

    MY COMMENTS: I'm not sure what you mean. If a person knows he is a sinner and has faith (that is believes) that Christ died for his sins and accepts Him as his Saviour, his faith is enough. Now, we know, from Ephesians 2:8-9, that through God's grace faith itself is a gift, for it comes by...

    Paul vs everyone else.

    MY COMMENTS: THE TERM 'THE TWELVE' SEEMS TO BE AN OFFICAL TITLE FOR IDENTIFICATION. FOR INSTANCE, IN JOHN 20:24, AFTER CHRIST'S RESURRECTION, HE APPEARED TO THEM IN THE HOUSE, EXCEPT FOR THOMAS: "BUT, THOMAS, ONE OF THE TWELVE, CALLED DIDYMUS, WAS NOT WITH THEM WHEN JESUS CAME." HERE, THOMAS...

    A Third of Heaven...really?

    The army of the gentiles

    I'm not sure what your point is, Shilohsfoal. Indeed, as you quoted from Rev. 11:2, there will be the court of the Gentiles in the new Temple complex. And it further says Jerusalem (the holy city) will be tread on (controlled) by the Gentiles for 42 months, the last half of the tribulation...

    When does the Antichrist power show itself?

    In my opinion, it will be after the Church/body of Christ has departed, as Paul writes in 2 Thes. 2:1-4 assuring the church in Thessalonica that the day of the Lord has not arrived; and that the man of sin will be revealed after there is the departure of the Church/body.

    The Parable of the Ten Virgins

    Greetings, Guy. I have a question: are you including the Church/body of Christ as the Christians in the 7 years tribulation? If so, then I disagree with you, for IMO Paul makes it clear in 2 Thes 2:1-4 that the departure (falling away--KJV) of the Church/body takes place first before the man...

    Prepare the way of the Lord

    MY COMMENTS: It may not affect your view of the underlying meaning of "heaven" in these verses, but an interlinear Greek-English NT will show that the reading should be "the kingdom of the heavens", thus tieing it in with Daniel 7:27. It is the long awaited Messianic Kingdom on earth under the...

    Prepare the way of the Lord

    Question, is heaven "up" from Australia as well as being "up" from us, almost halfway around the globe?
