You believe what scripture says and that's good. What scripture only hints at is a bit more difficult to receive. The next time you journey from Genesis through to Revelation, spend a little time considering passages that refer to "stars", the heavenly host or host of heaven, and to angels...

If you can't reconcile scripture to itself, and you obviously can't, then you don't have the teacher, the Holy Spirit. I know that you have a heart for the truth, but you haven't entered the narrow gate. The scripture agrees with itself entirely, but from the perspective of God, not to the...

The scriptures say that no one has seen God, so what God did the old testament saints like Abraham, Moses, and the wife of Manoah see?

Yup

No, I don't have a reading comprehension problem. Jesus said "today you will be in paradise with me", not I say to you today. That's absurd. Why would such a phrase as "I say to you today" even be used? Do you think that the creator of the universe, God incarnate, didn't know that He was...

I believe in a millennial reign, but I don't believe that it's purpose is restoration at all, but another judgment. The saints are elevated to judges but the host of heaven is cast down. It's a reversal of roles so that judgment can be righteous and in accord with the words of our Lord. Of...

2 Corinthians 5:8 is what Christians quote (in part) but in application to themselves, which is a reasonable assumption. Eg. God is no respector of men, Paul was no Enoch or Elijah, and if we are of one body, then we end up in the same place. The RCC introduced some novel concepts like limbo...

While Christ's work is certainly about a restoration to a right relationship with God, Peace with God as it were, scripture speaks more to redemption and a new creation than to restoration. There is no hint of "going back to the garden", though there are promises of restoration to National...

Since Europe and Russia were predominantly Christian nations, people chose to use biblical imagery to represent their nations or their enemies, but that's a bit like self fulfilling prophesy. There may be something to it, or it might just be the imagination of men. Hind sight is 20/20, foresight...

What church are you referring to? Some believe that everything is already fulfilled that needs to be fulfilled before His return. The premillenial rapture believers are expecting Him any day now.

There may be a new temple, but there is none in the New Jerusalem which comes down out of heaven. Will Jesus be in both, or do you see the New Jerusalem arriving after the millennial kingdom?

Jesus' body is God's chosen tabernacle. That body had limitations, but God never did. You’re very selective about which scriptures you believe. Jesus said: "Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise." Luke 23:43 So was Jesus mistaken? Did the true and faithful witness...

Herod built the third temple 2000 years ago. The church is the 4th temple (a spiritual temple). Another physical temple of stone or other materials would be the 5th temple.

It's not a contradiction if death is an entrance to eternity for those who believe, but if you knew who Jesus is, you'd know that nothing is impossible for Him. When we close our eyes, we will open them to Christ in judgment, either the judgment of the righteous or the great white throne...

Christina didn't format her verse correctly for the reference on this site, but try 2 Corinthians 5:8. It should be understood that the verse only applies to those who have believed the gospel and received Christ by faith.

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Hebrews 9:27

1Come near, O nations, to listen; pay attention, O peoples. Let the earth hear, and all that fills it, the world and all that springs from it.2The LORD is angry with all the nations and furious with all their armies. He will devote them to destruction; He will give them over to slaughter.3Their...

I've never heard such a claim because rabbinical Judaism is descended from the Pharisees who rejected Christ. I'm not a Jewish theologian and can't speak at length to what they believe, but the RCC makes much of Jewish doctrine. The Jerusalem Bible, approved by the RCC, does not attribute the...

No, I self identify as a born again Christian, but my understanding of the Trinity was derived from the theory of Special relativity, something not even possible before the 20th century, but is in complete alignment with the written word of God. To be clear, I believe in One immortal invisible...

Modern Judaism didn't exist until after the destruction of the third temple, (Herod's temple.) Modern Judaism is an invention of the rabbinical Pharisees. King David was of the tribe of Judah, and when Israel rebelled against his grandson, Rehoboam, the remnant of his kingdom became the kingdom...
