I’m saying Matthew 25 is definitive. Jesus is directly answering several questions related to His return. He speaks of a persecution like nothing seen before or will be seen again. That must be the “Great Tribulation”. He says AFTEr that tribulation, He returns in the clouds. The sound of the...

IMO, baptism by fire refers to persecution that comes with a profession of faith in Jesus. Jesus s often speaks of the persecution of His followers. Peace to you

I agree in part. If someone has novice level understanding of biblical languages, they should not be rejecting the opinions of scholars to give a contrary understanding of BIBLICAL LANGUAGES, context, traditional understandings of scripture unless they have a better reason than they read it n...

You are reading into the passage (separate people from another” as meaning separating Jews from Gentiles? Jesus is referring to the great throne judgment. He is separating the saved from the lost. There can be no separate future for Jews and Gentiles. Paul clearly tells us in Ephesians that...

Do you know what reading pre-conceived bias into scripture is? Do you know what “context’ is? Do you know what obvious contradiction is? Do you know what historic understanding within the Christian church is? Do you know what “focus on the text and do not make personal attacked” is? Peace...

Correct, immediately after the tribulation of those days, such as never been seen before or will again. Christ returns, saints are collected, great throne judgment which is in heaven Additionally, any suggestion Matthew 25 is simply a judgment of gentiles cannot be supported by the context...

There is no “post trib on earth”. Matthew 25 is definitive. Jesus returns, the saints are collected, then comes the great throne judgment. John does not write in chronological order, he writes in repeating themes. Peace to you

Ok Peace to you

Revelation 20 does not say Jesus reigns “On earth” for 1000 years. It states the saints that remained faithful during the great tribulation (no pre-trib rapture) would reign WITH Christ for 1000 years. Jesus reigns in heaven. John does not write in chronological order, but in repeating themes...

Confirmation bias would lead to someone starting numerous threads with the theme of “let’s rewrite this passage of scripture” to force it to support my views. Confirmation bias would lead someone with novice level understanding of the biblical languages (at best) to disregard the opinions of...

No, what I have stated has nothing to do with “Trail of Blood”, which I do not believe. However, the RCC uses similar arguments used by Trail Blood f Blood in that they claim an unbroken succession from the First century (Peter and John the Baptizer). Most likely, the author of Trail of Blood...

peace to you

Romans 13, and many others Peace to you

Literally rewriting history in your claim that the RCC doesn’t rewrite history. The RCC began when the Bishop at Rome forged a will, claiming Emperor Constantine gave authority over the Roman army, and thus the empire, to him, in the mid 4th century. This began the murder spree of Pipe after...

The church has struggled with this question since the first century when soldiers became Christians. To kill as a soldier is contrary to our Lord’s commands. Our obedience is to Him, not a country God does not need His chosen to kill anyone. We are to be light. We are not the sword of God (as...

Very interesting development I recall that over a decade ago, news reports were that Assad would be gone in a few weeks. Apparently, Russia propped him up and he survived. This event may say more about Russia than Syria. Putin may be stretched too thin in Ukraine and doing far worse than what...

I do realize what the RCC claims. It is simply untrue. The earliest churches collected letters and Gospels (as instructed by Paul to share) and what we know as Holy Bible was established by the end of the 1st century, hundreds of years before the Bishop at Rome made his power grab. The RCC has...

The canon (measuring rod) was established by the end of the first century. Churches, under the guidance of God Holy Spirit, began collecting the writings of the Apostles before the end of the first century to maintain a record of God’s Word for future generations. This canon (measuring rod...

No, it was not. It was added as canon by the RCC as a response to the reformation call for “scripture alone”. But you already knew that. Peace to you

Tobacco companies still advertise, just not on TV. They also have a well established addicted base of consumers Peace to you
