Why witness? Because we are commanded to by Christ. Certainly we want to obey our Lord. The Gospel is the means by which God has determined to bring the elect into a right relationship with Himself. As you stated, we are given a great privilege by our Lord to participate in the salvation of...

We have enough translations. No need for another. With all the study tools available, a serious Bible student can glean the meaning through the context in which the word was used. We simply have to approach the text with an open mind, without pre-conceived bias or opposition to any particular...

sounds like he’s boasting again to me. Did he mention deserving the Nobel peace prize, again? Straight of Trump? Naaahhhh. That doesn’t flow well. How about “The greatest Straight ever made in the history of the world, so great, Trump Straight? Peace to you

Not correct. Israel (Jacob) had twelve sons who became the twelve tribes of Israel, Judah being one of those tribes. The northern 10 tribes were conquered by Asseria and dispersed, never to be seen again. The southern two, Judah and Benjamin, essentially were absorbed into one (Judah) after...

Well, if Revelation is a depiction of a continuous 7 year period, after the rapture of the church and during the great tribulation period…. how can that be consistent with references to historical events such as Satan being cast out of heaven and the birth of Jesus? I do appreciate your...

Yes, and He also gave warning not to grow weary and lax while you waited. Peace to you

And that is all you need to know folks. Peace to you

That was the expectation of the 1st century church. There were warnings, also, not to falter if the Master does not. Thanks for the comments. Peace to you

We put tin foil on the antenna for better reception. We upgraded. We would go out and twist the antenna (on a poke attached to the house), for better reception. The TV stations were North, East, and Southeast. Each about 20 to 40 miles. Peace to you

I would suggest you are viewing it all through the lens of dispensationalism, rather than following the context. Christ will rule with a rod of iron is a repeating theme. To make it fit dispensationalism you take the rod from Christ and give it to men. You take the kingdom of Christ and make...

Your answer is inconsistent with your previous statements. Peace to you

How does that “continuous time period” explain the references to the casting out of Satan and the birth of Jesus? It is either a continuous story or it isn’t. It can’t be a continuous story starting with John while referring to Satan being cast out of heaven with his demons and the birth of...

Wow!!! Is DT going to bring the whole civilized world together to stop Iran? What a great POTUS!!! I’m so proud of him, and happy he’s in office and not the other, some other person that means not this person, so we can free ourselves of what was and move forward with what is, which is...

Ok, how does that fit with your statement that Revelation 4-20 is a continuous time period of 7 years + the 1000? Are you saying it is not a continuous time period, but has references to historical stories? Hummmm, perhaps those references to historical stories are presented in repeating...

Yahoo News? No bias there, I’m sure. I wonder… did yahoo news do a story about Biden underestimating Putin when Biden stated the U.S. wouldn’t respond if Putin had a “little” skirmish in Ukraine? How’s that working out? Did yahoo news do a story about Obama underestimating Iran when he signed...

Revelation 11 says God is reigning on the earth (words to that effect). Revelation 12 gives the account of Satan being thrown out of heaven with 1/3 of the angels (that happened just after the creation) Revelation 12 recounts Christ being born. Does that happen during a 7 year period after...

You stated your pet pev on the BB is people claiming you have a POV that you do not hold. That is what you are doing to me. No where do I say other Christians are “standing around” while the martyrs are being honored, as if they have nothing else to do. Got it Did I say “only them”? Are you...

I started this thread to discuss the repeating themes found in Revelation, not an explanation of dispensationalism. I gave as an example, the repeated mention of the martyrs. Will you address that? Peace to you

I misunderstood you. You stated you were being “facetious” (your word) when you asked where all the other Christians would be when the “lucky” martyrs killed during the great tribulation were reigning with Christ for 1000 years. The word “facetious” means to be funny, not serious, witty...

Frankly, I haven’t studied Revelation with that in mind. As I understand it, you are speaking of the fulfillment of prophecy, particularly the destruction of Jerusalem, is that corrrct? Peace to you
