    Pray for our borthers and sisters in the Lord

    I am not sure I would word it that way. Paul separated the old and new testaments: "And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise...

    Pray for our borthers and sisters in the Lord

    He doesn't. "But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe... For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus... There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor...

    Pray for our borthers and sisters in the Lord

    Wrong. There is only one person, Irenaeus, who wrote a vague statement about John during "Domitian's" reign; and everyone else jumped on his bandwagon with the false conclusion that John wrote the book during Domitian's reign (or, about 90-95 A.D.) Now, they all are being exposed as sloppy...

    Pray for our borthers and sisters in the Lord

    Where does it say in Revelation 11 that John is to measure a third, rebuilt temple? There was still a temple in Jerusalem when he wrote the Revelation about 60-61 A.D., or even sooner. Dan

    There are no scriptures to explain either, JLB. Dan

    Pray for our borthers and sisters in the Lord

    Oh, you mean the temple that was destroyed during the war in 70 A.D.: the temple that was in the once holy city of Jerusalem which the Gentiles--the Roman Armies--trod under foot for forty and two months. That event was foretold in both the old and new Testaments, with John being the last to...

    Pray for our borthers and sisters in the Lord

    LOL! There will be no future physical temple of God. Jesus has already built the Third Temple and it is found on heavenly mount Sion (spelled "mount Zion" in most Old Testament prophecies): "For through him we [Jews and Gentiles] both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye...

    Commonly Referred to as Separate or Partial Rapture

    TCash, Thanks for the information. In the following passage Paul appears to claim that he is one of those without fault: "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the...

    Bible Study Predestined for Glorification

    Hi, Newnature, The Church doctrine of predestination, which some attribute to John Calvin, has a lot of support in most every area of theology. And, personally, I know God found me; because I did not find him, nor was I looking. :shades Early on, I was adamant that predestination occurred for...

    Commonly Referred to as Separate or Partial Rapture

    This is what I know about the timing of the great tribulation. First, this must occur: "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." (Matt 24:14) Jesus gave this similar instruction to his disciples: "And he...

    My debating days with dispensationalists are over. I pray that God grant us guidance. Dan

    Bible Study All Israel Will Be Saved.

    Hi, Chopper, It was just a figure of speech, but not without scriptural support. Recall that Israel had multiplied its numbers to be "as the sand of the sea:" "For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return:. . ." (Isa 10:22) But the promise had...

    What is Election?

    Hi, Reba, Both scripture and interpretation. The words have been changed, the divinity of Christ has been "watered down," and the meaning has been corrupted (though admittedly the meaning has always been cloudy.) In both of the next two verses the NKJV makes interpretation more difficult; in...

    What is Election?

    Thanks, and an Amen for that last statement. I do believe in predestination, because Jesus found me. I was not looking, and most certainly was unworthy. He has given me a passion for understanding the scriptures; and 40 years later I can understand well enough to realize I don't fit into any...

    Bible Study All Israel Will Be Saved.

    Eugene, I try not to read anything into the scripture, and I also try to pay attention to detail. So when Paul distinguished between "seed" and "seeds", I paid attention. It is crystal clear to me: Christ, Abraham's "seed," received the promise. Those who believe in Christ also receive the...

    Bible Study All Israel Will Be Saved.

    How does this fit in: "Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ." (Galatians 3:16) Thanks, Dan

    What is Election?

    I have struggled with the words of Jesus in John. I now believe he was referring to his disciples in many of those "last day" posts in John, including John 6:37. Not sure about the rest. See if this sounds right. Recall those God gave to Christ will be raised up on the last day: "And this...

    What is Election?

    Hi, Jethro. Where do I find scriptural support for this statement by you? "Those of us who were tested in this life and made right decisions for the kingdom will not, and can not be deceived by this last effort of satan to deceive mankind." Thanks, Dan
