The cycle of light and darkness, if not governed by the rotation of the earth, would be of indeterminate duration.

We have two economic models to consider, individual enterprise, or central command and control. The central command one makes the citizens slaves of the state. There is no need to change the subject.

You claim your translation is right, and the modern ones like the NASB, NET, ESV are wrong, and that Revelation 17:8 does not support the "written from the foundation of the world" choice at Revelation 13:8. Wen "apo" refers to time, the translation should read since, not from. When "apo"...

You have not said what constituted an "evening and morning" of day 1 without the existence of the sun or the earth?

Those that believe in the economic model of Communism are at "war" with those who believe in the economic model of individual enterprise, AKA free enterprise, or capitalism. The communist central command and control model does not work, as the 70 year history of the Soviet Union demonstrates...

1) A normal day refers to a twenty-four hour day of explicit duration. However "yom" sometimes refers to indeterminate periods of time. Since the Sun did not start governing a "days" duration until after "day 1, for you to claim it was is unbiblical speculation. You do not know, just as Job...

Easy Believism seems similar to the condemned teachings of the Nicolaitans. In a nutshell, this heresy says since all our sins, past, present and future are forgiven, we can live out our life as we see fit, as nothing can snatch us out of Christ's eternal salvation. The fly in the buttermilk...

1) Scripture evidences long periods of time. 2) Job 38 teaches we do not know the specifics of creation, not YEC. 3) Yes, we can infer that Adam was created less than 7000 years ago, based on the list of generations from Adam to Jesus. But to assume the "days of creation" were 24 hour...

1) Not the issue, the action occurred since, not before creation. 2) Your version of Revelation 13:8 is a mistranslation. Here is the NET bible footnote: 27tn The prepositional phrase “since the foundation of the world” is traditionally translated as a modifier of the immediately preceding...

Scripture precludes being individually chosen before creation, because we once we "not a people" chosen for God's own possession, 1 Peter 2:9-10.

Some folks explain being chosen in Him as meaning we were chosen as specific foreseen individuals in anticipation of the salvation that would be available “in Him.” This seems to me to be an unnatural reading of the text. Rather the phrase “in Him” seems to me to describe how we were chosen...

The claim that everything was created less than 7000 years ago is based on speculation. God supposedly created the illusion of "deep time," rather than His creation evidences existence for many thousands of years. On the other hand, scripture, Job 38, clearly teaches we do not know the...

Yes! The first human, Adam, was created with the ability to sin. Note that before Adam was created, Logos was chosen to be the Lamb of God, therefore God anticipated sin and the fall of humanity. And, in our fallen state, it brings glory to God when we repent. Game, set and match!

1) From the foundation of the world refers to after or since the creation of human kind, the "world." 2) Yes, the Lamb was slain after the creation and fall of humanity, about 2000 years ago. 3) You cited a mistranslation of Revelation 13:8. Compare with Revelation 17:8 and chose a...

Two actions occurred, Satan was cast down, and Satan was cast out. I the first case, cast down, Satan still had access to Heaven, in the second case, Satan's access to heaven was removed. The second case occurred after Christ died physically on the cross.

Excellent effort to promote non-speculative bible study!!! 1) I think I understand the position that "the accuser" came into existence, in heaven, after Adam and Eve were created. 2) I think God often chooses individuals for adversarial purposes who are well suited (predisposed) to fulfill...

1) One of us is wrong. 2) The result of the Fall made all humanity, except of course Jesus, the "seed" of Satan. So we agree, but it is non-germane to the issue in dispute, who is "the woman" in Genesis 3:15. 3) Yes, Eve "cooperated" with the serpent, and tempted Adam. Again, non-germane...

Genesis 3:15 NASB And I will make enemies Of you and the woman, And of your offspring and her [fn]Descendant; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise Him on the heel.” My understanding of the verse is that "the woman" is Eve and her seed is Jesus. Eve became an enemy of Satan...

A few observations: 1) We agree that Jesus was physically 100% human, so Jesus had human DNA distinctive of Mary's. 2) He was male, not female or non-binary. 3) Legally Jesus was the seed of David through Joseph. Biologically Jesus was the seed of David through Mary. 4) Mary was...

Since WWII, the claim a war cannot be won solely by bombing is hoisted again and again. It is a fiction. Mr. Clinton achieved victory with bombing. Limited and brief incursions, to find and eliminate hidden assets, such as leaders, missiles and drones, may be necessary, but facilitating...
