    Great White Throne Judgment

    Greetings, Handy. I agree with you, that all judging is given to the Son. For He, as the Son of man, is the one to judge mankind. Yes, I understand that "the rest of the dead" who are resurrected to be judged by Christ Jesus on His Great White, will include both those who are judged worthy of...

    Son of God....Son of man

    MY COMMENTS: Concerning John 3:13, Another viable interpretation of that passage, and beyond to verse 21, is, those are the words of John the writer. This means that verse 13-21 are not quoting Jesus, but are the inspired words of the Apostle John, and makes sense for when John wrote it Jesus...

    Evidence of a great doctrinal apostasy

    Well said, Richard. The mysteries revealed to Paul concerning the Church/body of Christ is missing or miss-understood from so many Protestant preachers and theologian's teachings.

    I come quickly...said 2,000 years ago?

    MY COMMENTS: I wondered about that some years ago, but with the help of my pastor teacher it became clear to me. The Greek word "tachu", or any of its derivatives, would mean "quickly" or "with speed" or "hastily". So from the context, I understand the best rendering to be "But the God of...

    What is the "times of the Gentiles"?

    MY COMMENTS: I believe it means all the years that Jerusalem is trodden down of the Gentiles (nations). It started with Babylonia capturing Jerusalem, Judah and Benjamin, and has continued on even today, for the majority of those in Jerusalem today are not God fearing Jews. It will continue...

    Angels...Halos, Wings and Harps?

    I would disagree that "they are us and we are them." It is true, that many places in the Bible angels looked like ordinary men. But that is only if their glory or radiance was "turned off." After Christ's resurrection we read in Matt. 28:2 "And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the...

    Was James confused?

    A Study/focus on Acts 21:20-21

    My comments: I agree that the "good news" James, the elders and the twelve apostles were preaching was not the same as the Gospel of the Grace of God that Paul preached. While they believed that salvation was through the sacrifice of Christ Jesus, by His grace, they still believed that...

    Is Calvinism good theology? Is it Biblical?

    MY COMMENTS: What about "deism"---"belief in God as existing independently of the physical universe"? Definition from "The Secretary's Desk Book" Dictionary, 1938 ed. Does that fall far short of the truth?

    Will He stand on the mount of Olives or...Mount Zion???

    In my opinion.....BOTH, but not at the same time. I can see that Christ Jesus will come down from heaven and stand on one side of the split Mount of Olives, and with His army of angels all around him. Then He and His army will slay the anti-christ's armies gathered at Jerusalem. Later, He...

    Do Nice People Get Into Heaven ??

    Test Question 1 I am a nice person. I do nice things. I help people. I have no formal relationship with Jesus Christ.. I die in a car accident tomorrow. Will I get into Heaven? Test Question 2 Oprah Winfrey has been vocal in telling the world that if you’re a good person you will get...

    [ Testimony ] MY TESTIMONY ABOUT GOD & JESUS CHRIST

    My friend, dreams and feelings can be misleading. As Kelli advised, read and study the Bible, particularly, in my opinion, Paul's letters starting with Romans. The good news, the 'gospel' is believing that Christ Jesus was crucified, buried, and rose again the third day, according to the...

    Can sinners hip hop into hell?

    MY COMMENTS: I said 'the cure for death is resurrection'. At the great white throne the 'dead' have been roused from their first death to stand before Christ on His Throne (Rev. 20:12). 'Resurrection' doesnt' mean raised to 'eternal life.' That's right, all whose names were not found...

    Gentiles

    Again, if you think there were 'Gentiles' who survived the flood beside Noah and his family, then what does it mean in Gen. 7:21-22 when in the NRSV we read?: "And all flesh died that moved on the earth, birds, domestic animals, wild animals, all swarming creatures that swarm on the earth and...

    Jesus' appearance after resurrection

    MY COMMENTS: While it is recorded that Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene and then some other women near the tomb early on the day of his resurrection, it was later that day that he appeared to two of his disciples on the road to Ammaeus, explaining all the OT scriptures the things concerning...

    Can sinners hip hop into hell?

    MY COMMENTS: Dave, surely you are asking this with "tongue in cheek." When I read these passages, I must conclude that "death" is "the absence of life." What do you think? Psa. 6:5 "For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in Sheol who can give you praise?" Psa. 30:9 "What profit...

    Gentiles

    I disagree with your theory, Nightmare. You make too much of "Gentile" in Gen. 10:5 in the KJV. By far the better word should have been "nations." Here are the occurrences as translated from "goi": Gentile......30 times Heathen.....142 times Nation.......373 times People.......11 times...

    A Humble Man-His Theology

    My friend, we all as believers in Christ know we don't walk perfectly as we are encouraged, yet I am encouraged by Paul's words in Colossians 2:10 assuring us that we are complete in him (Christ).

    Is the rapture Biblical?

    Of course it is Biblical. Paul, the apostle and teacher to the nations, sets forth the secret catching away of the church/body of Christ: "Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep (die), but we will all be changed in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet (sound)...
