Those "born of God" refer to the 144,000 annointed mentioned in Revelations. This does not mean that they are free to sin deliberately.

The linage of Christ can seem to be contradictory. Yes, although Joseph’s linage is from David, Matthew’s account is not a true “blood line” because Jesus did not have a biological father. However, his step-father was also from the linage of David. In Luke’s account, Joseph is identified as...

With respect, I am not understanding the reltionship of "listening...with the "soul." Consider what the phlosophers Aristotle and Plato formulated about the soul. Humans do not have a "soul"; we are a soul. Animals are a soul. Furthermore, God refers to his soul. Psalms 11:5; 24:4; Isaiah...

I agree to most of your points. This is my summary of understanding. Jesus Christ was speaking to his disciples in the present of the Pharisees and scribes prior to the account at Luke 16:19-31; and, often taught a lesson by telling a story through the means of parables or illustrations. In...

How do you understand that Satan/Devil (deceiverresister) is named Lucifer. It is not mentioned in the Bible.

Jesus was talking with his disciples in this account. They are part of the 144,000 anointed of whom will be the resurrected first and awarded a heavenly abodes. Actually, they do not “fall asleep in death” as most of us have and will. (1 Corinthians 15:51, 51) Compare: Luke 12:32; Revelation...

I do not have the same understanding about the “second resurrection” as to what you posted. Consider a brief summary of what I understand. The 144,000 anointed are of the first and heavenly resurrection. Actually, they do not “fall asleep in death” as most of us have and will. (1 Corinthians...

Keithr, It seem to me that we are of the same interpretaion of the "day of rest." I am comfortable, with my underatanding of the Bible accounts, that the seventh day did not come to a completion. I clearly am not "...believing the theories of men and forcing God's word to fit in with that...

My following comment is condensed. I am prepared to offer a more detailed explanation-with scriptual support. The “woman” refers to God’s, likened to a husband, symbolic wife (Jerusalem) as spiritual; and, the “child” that is birthed refers to his newly organized kingdom with Jesus as its...

Yes, the repetitive phase you mentioned is a descriptive division between the end of the first through sixth creative days. However, this repetitive phase is not repeated at the end of the seventh day because this seventh day did not come to a completion. Genesis 2:7; Hebrews 3:11, 18; 4:1, 3-6...

After Adam and Eve were confronted by God, he offered no invitation to repentance. (Genesis 3:16-24) Likewise, he offered no opportunity for repentance to Satan and the other angelic creatures.-Genesis 3:14, 15; Matthew 25:41. David, like all of us, is different from Adam and Eve. They were...

Thank you! You encouraged me!

The human capacity to show love is an expression of God’s wisdom and loving concern for mankind. Interestingly, the ancient Greeks had four words for “love.” One was e'ros: denoting romantic love associated with sex attraction. Writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures had no occasion to use...

Adam and Eve were perfect creatures, and since God’s command to them was explicit and understood by both, it is evident that their sinning was willful and was not excusable on the basis of any human weakness or imperfection. The Mosaic Law contained this principle. (Numbers 35:31) Their sin...

The term “heavens,” often symbolically refers to ruling powers, which are elevated above their subjects. (Isaiah 65:17; Revelation 21:1, 2) “The heavens [that] will pass away” represent human rule over ungodly society. Their passing away with a loud “hissing noise” may indicate the swift...

Yes! Compare Matthew 2;1 and 2:9. Who direct that star? It was none other than Satan.

It does seem like a strong term; however, I believe that with a little background and interpretation may be necessary. First, John the Baptizer’s responsibility was to attempt to turn many of the Israelites back to pure worship toward God. (Luke 1:16; John 1:31) Then Jesus and his apostles...

The seventh world power is a dual power: The Anglo-American or Britain and the United States.

Jesus Christ was speaking to his disciples in the present of the Pharisees and scribes prior to the account at Luke 16:19-31; and, often taught a lesson by telling a story through the means of parables or illustrations. In this illustration, the rich man depicts the Jewish clergy who were well...
