Its been said that 7 billion people have lived and died. Another 7 billion are alive today. I don't think its over populated now, just too crowded, but if God intends to save everybody, then we'll have nearly 15 billion living on the new earth in the hereafter. That to me would mean that you...

I personally think 7000 years is the plan to complete the age and test for all of mankind. We are near the 6000 year mark now, and then the thousand year millennium. As you quoted in Revelation 20:4 "They lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years". This takes us from Adam to final judgement.

My thoughts exactly..... That's not to say that we understand everything, "But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things" (Mark 13:23).

But if you don't hear from me again, assume I was wrong :)

Are you sure your interpreting it right? Maybe it was a sunset, not a sunrise? Maybe it means your in the sunset of your life and haven't long to live? Lots of people worship the sun, maybe the sun was allegorical for something else? And never stare at the sun :) I have dreams that someone is...

Yes, I believe its still applicable, except in the case of infidelity or death.

Do you really believe that?

We know God through His written word. How would you know the story of Jesus without the bible? "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16)

Yes, its called fornication, and its why we have 25% single parent families. Ignoring God's rules is never a good idea, but many Christians yield to fleshly desires. Self-discipline? Who needs that? :)

Ask an atheist how they exist? Ask them how anything exist? I'm content to accept God as the uncaused cause of everything that exist until scientific fact can prove otherwise. That explanation won't satisfy an atheist, they'll still insist that God explain himself, but I suspect that God...

Probably a sign of the end times, and I suspect it will get worse. Falsehoods, complacency, and a world full of lies make people not take anything too seriously or commit to anything. "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first" (2...

Whorship is simply holding God in high esteem, in everything we do and say.. I don't think that just singing a hymn or two on Sunday morning quite cuts it, we must hold Him in reverence everyday.

God rested from all His work, this was what was acknowledged by observing the sabbath. But the sabbath (rest) was also an observance of what was promised. The Messiah ended God's rest by finishing His work on the cross.. We now rest in Christ, not on Saturday.. Imo, our spiritual rest can and is...

Get a key to your own house so your wife can't lock you out... And if she broke her own TV set, don't get another one, let her go without one.. It doesn't sound like you need to be delivered from any demonic phenomena, it just sounds like you may have a spoiled wife who is controlling and...

Forgiving doesn't mean you forget... Its impossible to forget. Also, your not obligated to forgive anyone who hasn't asked for it or who doesn't want it; "If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him" (Luke 17:3). As far as confronting the offenders, by all...

I personally believe that if we are privy to the truth, but continue to rebel against God, that he will eventually turn his back on us.. Its not so much that God hardens our hearts, its that he removes his spirit from us. The Pharaoh saw the power of God and knew it was futile to resist, but...

Hypocrisy is just saying one thing while doing another (the opposite).. I imagine we have all been hypocrites at one time or another.. I profess to be a Christian but I have broken a commandment, so does that make me a hypocrite? Jesus often referred to the Pharisees as hypocrites because they...

Jesus didn't create a religion.. Religion was already here, in fact, religious zealots were greatly responsible for his death. Jesus didn't create denominations or even name his church. He said "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14:6). When a...

Jesus was mostly silent through his trial. When people are accusing you, threatening you, or have no genuine interest in what you believe, its probably best not to indulge them because such conversation is folly. "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before...

Your examples are a bit extreme.. Freewill does not give people license to commit violent acts against others or break laws.. Freedom just provides people viable choices instead of being subjected to government mandates. There should be limits to how far government can interfere in your personal...
