    How Did the False Pre-trib Rapture Get Started?

    I didn't say that. What I am saying is that the revelation of the truth sometimes takes time. When Daniel was shown a vision of future events, he didn't understand it because it wasn't meant for his generation. The angel told him to seal up the book until the time of the end, when knowledge...

    Any Crypto Investors here?

    That's a good reason. Silver also has quite a bit of industrial use, whereas gold is primarily used for jewelry. And from what I understand, the value of silver has been heavily suppressed. When the day comes and it finally breaks free, there is potential for even bigger gains than gold since...

    Any Crypto Investors here?

    I own a little bit of Bitcoin, nothing major. I have been been investing in that and precious metals, particularly silver. They both have potential to skyrocket, especially when the fiat system starts to fail.

    Did Goliath suffer from health problems?

    Author Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book in 2015 entitled "David and Goliath" that deals with the biblical story of the same name. It presents an alternate view that portrays David not as a weak underdog but as a mighty warrior, and Goliath not as the strong giant but as a sickly man. In Gladwell's...

    Leave Kate Alone

    I will say it is a bit curious that both Kate and Charles would have a cancer diagnosis around the same time.

    How Did the False Pre-trib Rapture Get Started?

    Actually, that proves my point too. They couldn't have had that conversation until the theological framework was built. It took roughly 300 years for the trinity doctrine to be established, for instance. It shouldn't be a surprise then that so many of these various rapture doctrines were...

    How Did the False Pre-trib Rapture Get Started?

    The rapture was talked about, sure, but it wasn't really a topic of conversation and debate like it is today. They certainly didn't have a concept of a pre, mid, pre-wrath, or post-trib rapture like we do. Their primary eschatological focus was on the timing of the Second Coming, whether the...

    How Did the False Pre-trib Rapture Get Started?

    I disagree. The Christian Church didn't have a rapture doctrine. Sure, you can probably find elements of every rapture position in early Christian writings if you look hard enough, but they didn't have a single codified rapture doctrine. The rapture wasn't even really being discussed until the...

    What is the Mark of the Beast on the Forehead vs the Hand?

    I take it to be more literal. Not everyone has a left hand, but everyone has a forehead.

    You know how it is said $uccessful entertainers sell their soul to Satan? Taylor Swift....

    I'm convinced much of her popularity is manufactured, as are a lot of big names. If you throw enough PR at someone, it generates interest. If you get enough people interested, then group psychology will take over, and others will like her too to fit in. It translates to real popularity, but it's...

    How would a nuclear war between Russia and the US affect you?

    Mutually assured destruction.

    Pagan roots of Pizza

    Thankfully, there isn't a commandment about not eating pizza. ;)

    Why doesn't God reveal himself unequivocally to the entire world?

    It also goes back to the fall, doesn't it? That closeness we had with God was severed when Adam & Eve rebelled. We have been living with the consequences of their actions ever since. I don't pretend to know all the whys, but I can speculate. This world is a sandbox of sorts where we can express...

    Does Satan run the world? Or does God?

    I like to use the landlord analogy. God is like the landland of this world; He owns it. He gave the world to us for a certain period of time to govern over it. However, when Adam fell, he opened the door for Satan and his minions to become squatters in this world. In doing so, Adam gave away...

    God is male/female

    Technically, God is a spirt and a spirt is neither male nor female. However, He presents Himself in the masculine form. The Bible makes a clear distinction between male and female and admonishes aginst blurring the lines (1Co 6:11-14, Deu 22:5). This agenda to destroy the sexes is a corruption...

    Israeli attack on civilians should be condemned by all believers

    Hear from who? People who hate Israel to begin with? Those same people didn't make a peep when Israeli civilians were massacred and raped. Have you actually read what Israel does to mitigate civilian casualties? They will drop fliers and send texts warning where they are about to bomb (at the...

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Everyone has faith in something, even atheists. The atheist believes there is no God, but he can't prove it. He puts his faith in man or science. For some, no amount of evidence or persuasion will suffice. Ultimately, salvation is a matter of the heart. It comes down to what we "choose" to...

    Israeli attack on civilians should be condemned by all believers

    There's a lot of anti-Israel propoganda regarding the Israel-Gaza war. Isreal actually goes out of its way to minimize civilian casualties, often to their detriment. HAMAS, on the other hand, actively targets civilians. They'll even use their own people as human shields. But the notion of...

    Don't drink cow's milk ..

    I've never heard any connection with cow's milk causing cancer. The biggest issue with cow's milk is all the hormones they pump into the cows, which finds its way into the milk. Raw milk is better but unless you live on or near a farm, it's impossible to get ahold of. Goat's milk tends to be...

    Cashless Society

    They have been using the germ argument against cash even before Covid. But can't the same be said about cards? It's still being passed around. Plus, there is usually a surcharge involved when using cards. That is the way the world is going, althrough right now it's jsut some businesses doing...
