It is dream literature. Therefore, full of symbolism. Therefore, researching into elucidating dreams and symbolism therein would be paramount. “...it is only since the end of the nineteenth century that modern psychology...[has] proved empirically the existence of a psyche outside...

Coming from someone who has studied revelation quite a bit, I would recommend three books: first and foremost Mal Couch's commentary is a must grab. The second, Walvoord's "Bible Knowledge Commentary" or his "Every Prophecy of the Bible", or he also has a book on Revelation itself. Third, Dwight...

God can send a strong delusion to get people to believe in their own lie. 1 Kings 22 NET 20The Lord said, ‘Who will deceive Ahab, so he will attack Ramoth Gilead and die there?’ One said this and another that. 21Then a spirit stepped forward and stood before the Lord. He said, ‘I will deceive...

Q: in interpreting Revelation (and, I suppose, certain OT passages as well), how much should we rely on extra-biblical sources and forms? A: As much as doesn't conflict with other scriptures and sound reason or empirical, pragmatic science or sense.

Here is some Church history for you, which is not found in the word of God: "Sola scriptura" is a late 16th century doctrine. Are you saying that no Christian was saved before Luther? Luther didn't even believe 100% in Sola Scriptura. He quotes several times from the apocrypha as authoritative...

:Roflmao I have an answer to my question too. Steven Yeadon is led astray. Who's right? :eek: ...And I'm sure they doubt the sincerity of your belief too You should check out dispensational theology. Lewis Chafer, George Peters, Dwight Pentecost. Who knows, maybe YOU're led astray? You...

Deuteronomy states that when a prophet prophesies and it doesn't come true, that prophet is not from the LORD. The law of Moses also states that God reveals himself to prophets by means of dreams (Numbers 12:6). Cessationism isn't scriptural. 1 Corinthians states that when that which is perfect...

Also interesting to note, about the "antichrist", is Cain. Cain was firstborn, and the duty of priesthood was thus specially designated to him (Numbers 3:12-13; etc.). "Before the appointment of Levi’s descendants, 'the first-born of every family, the fathers, the princes, and the kings, were...

False prophets having salvation? Hmm. A difficult topic indeed. A study into Balaam would be a good one.

Martin Luther believed in prophecy and even had prophetic dream(s). Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud have made remarkable progress in making dream interpretation a science. The former was a Christian, came from a family of Christian ministers, and was the son of a pastor. The latter was Jewish.

If an angel is all knowing of things that happen in the earth, then he is omniscient (omni = all; science = knowledge) of things that happen in the earth.

"All banks are beside rivers. Therefore, the financial institution where I deposit my money is beside a river." ~ http://www.fallacyfiles.org/equivoqu.html

Some at least, have knowledge of "all things that are in the earth" (2 Sam. 14:20, KJV). I suppose, that, since "heaven" isn't included in the passage, it can't be assumed that they have knowledge of all things that are in heaven. So angels aren't necessarily omniscient of things in heaven...

If omniscience was a requisite for angels, the angels of Genesis 19 wouldn't have asked Lot whether or not he had "anyone else [in his abode]...[s]ons-in law, sons, daughters, or anyone...in the city" (v. 12, ESV). The angels would've already knew. Some angels do have science to "know all...

Hello Iconoclast. Joseph's dream doesn't say that "​​​​​​​​All the host of heaven [would] rot away, ​​​​​​​and the skies roll up like a scroll" (Isa. 34:4, ESV). Joseph only says that "the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me" (Gen. 37:9, ESV). What do you think would've...

Hey there Iconoclast. I know scriptures like these are used by those of your party to claim that we are presently in the kingdom because the apostle taught about the kingdom. Careful look at the same passage you have quoted, will show that Paul thought the kingdom a future one to enter into...

A mystery in scripture is something hitherto unrevealed. In Eph. 1:9 we find that there is a mystery of the will of the Father. This mystery is speaking of the will of God to "show his wrath and to make known his power"; to show great mercy on the "vessels of wrath [the Gentiles] prepared for...

Galatians 3 ESV 16Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” who is Christ. 17This is what I mean: the law, which came 430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant...

Amen. Acts 4:12 also tells us that it is only by Christ's name that men may be saved ("under heaven", ESV). If the OT saints didn't know Christ's name (Pr. 30:4), they couldn't be saved until the name was given among men (Luke 2:21). Christ evidently preached His name to those BC saints...
