Sorry if I was not more clear. I mentioned Moses and Elijah's 40 day fast, their talking with God on mount Sinai, and their appearance with Christ to show that they are unique among men and that the two witnesses could be no one else. Just the fact that they appear together to discuss with Jesus...

Just thought I'd pop back in and hopefully settle this question. First- the two witness are Moses and Elijah. The plagues that the witnesses have power to do are the same plagues Moses and Elijah did in the OT (no rain, water to blood,etc.) Rev.11:6. Only Moses and Elijah went without food...

I'm leaving the forum. I've only been here a few days and I'm spending way too much time on the site. I'm an all or nothing kind of guy so it's impossible for me to use moderation. It's been brief, but you guys have been nice. May God lead you down right paths. Kevin

I'm a very simple minded man. I've long since thrown out dictionaries, commentaries, etc.. When I read the bible and I have a question, I ask God what something means and then I just keep reading. Some answers I get right away, some years later, some I'm still waiting on. Whenever I would run...

Our will is there, it's just a little hard to do. "the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." (Mt. 26:41) Jesus came to set us free from this infuriating condition. Romans 7 paints the same grim picture of wanting to do good but being unable to do it. While Romans 8 says we can be...

Jesus came to Israel to offer them the kingdom that God had promised to their fathers. Rom 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: The Lord Jesus preached the law for salvation (Luke 10:25-28). He...

Without meaning to we often think of some sins as worse than others. Drunkenness, adultery, homosexuality, murder, etc. some sins just seem worse because the result of it is more visible to others. But there is a sin that will not repent, and that sin is pride. This was Satan's sin, the sin of...

Ps 133:1 "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" Amen!

It is frequently taught that Enoch never died, but is true? The Bible says, Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Everyone will die and Enoch was no exception. In Hebrews 11 it lists the men of faith and their actions, one of these men was Enoch...

Michael is right. If someone really feels the need to keep a certain day to God then he should do it. Or if someone has faith that every day is alike then that's between him and God. This is not a topic to judge one another on (and the Bible agrees). Col 2:16 ¶ Let no man therefore judge you...

The Bible speaks of some that love little and some that love much (Luke 7:47). And Jesus spoke of the limit of man's love, John 15:13 "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Men have willingly laid down their lives for those they love, but God's...

God told Noah, "Come thou and all thy house into the ark;" (Gen.7:1). When the flood was all over God told Noah, "Go forth of the ark," (Gen.7:1). Using the words "come" and "go" as he did, where was God?

There have been a number of books written claiming that the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God are two different kingdoms. While well meaning, and sometimes well written, the premise of these books is false. These kingdoms are one and the same. The Bible speaks of, Angels of heaven...

Mt 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. What was happening since the days of John the Baptist that had not happened before? Devil possession? Never before in Israel's history had they as people been...

Beam me up!

Good question! Imagine a pit through to the center of the earth where you are in the center of the force of gravity. Which way is up? Where is the bottom? Satan will be in this bottomless part (Rev.20:1-3) for a thousand years possibly trapped by gravity itself. God is pretty amazing.

Just a thought here; angels were created as spirits (Heb.1:14) and I always wondered whether they simply possessed men and then took wives (Gen.6:4). Or perhaps they are properly equipped to do the job themselves. But the Bible is silent on that issue so I suppose it's all speculation. Either...

God promised Abraham and his seed all the land from the river Nile to the river Euphrates. Gen 15:18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: This is likely the...

Bottomless pit figurative? I can see why you might think that after all it is where the dead descend into, but the Bible does record a special incident where the living descended into the pit. Nu 16:33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed...

Sorry to use the term "cloning" I know it does sound a little off. Just trying to show man attempting artificially what God does naturally. Man's "invention" is nothing more than a sad attempt to imitate God. God even said that if mankind got together they could do anything they could imagine...
