Oh indeed! One needs to also rely on God's guidance as to who to marry. Not only making sure that they are true Christians, but also well compatible in other ways. As you say, it's wise to guard against giving into one's passions and rushing into marriage without taking sufficient care to...

Yes, one needs to decide to marry or not to marry - according to what they feel a need for. I don't believe it is proper or according to the Bible for priests or preachers or Bible teachers to be forbidden to marry, though. They must make individual decisions on the matter, as is the case...

I believe the Bible indicates that single people should marry if possible, if they feel a need for it. But that not all feel a need to marry. So I think they need to prayerfully determine God's will in the matter, and choose according to what God leads them to do in the matter. 1 Cor 7:9...

It is true that Deborah had a temporary position of leadership. But even she indicated that it was more proper for a man to have her position. She only took it, because there were no men willing to take it. The word, "prophecy" doesn't always mean the public type of preaching or teaching...

Thanks for your comment. It is a bit complicated I know - to explain it. Or interpret it. It looks to me as though many people get sincerely converted to Christ at first, but that some later fall away as in the Sower Parable. However, those who have been tested enough and remained true...

Thanks! I copied down what you said - as it was said well! Yes, it is helpful to understand the marriage and betrothal times of Jesus' time. And yes, I agree the Lord's supper that Revelation or etc. refers to - is that time when all saints will be finally all together - both saints from...

I think you're right about that - it does say the next day was the Sabbath, or sometimes says it in this way: "the day of preparation."

Yes, I agree - that's how it looks to me!

John 5:37-40 37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. 38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. 39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have...

Thanks for your views on the subject! I've heard both pro and con arguments on the subject before. As always, each Christian must prayerfully do his best to as much as they are capable of doing - interpret all scripture correctly. And when we get to heaven, there will be no more need to...

To me, it looks like the "Jerusalem" referred to in Zechariah 14, is the heavenly "Jerusalem" which is in heaven with God. And represents the abode of all saints from earth who'll be in heaven after the end of the world. Prophetic parts of the Bible use much symbolism, and so shouldn't be...

Thanks for your recommendation and explanations on the subject!

Pastor Chuck Smith, now in heaven is one online pastor I've started listening to in hours after my bedtime each day. I notice he has often commented on how the church in the world is always more alive and spiritually powerful during times of hardship or persecution, as compared to times of...

I respect your views. But the prophetic books of the Bible use much symbolism. To me, the "New Earth" - couldn't be in a separate location from where God lives, since there are verses that indicate that God's people from earth - will live directly where He lives and with Him. 1 Thess 4:17...

Thanks for your views on the subject! Not all will understand this subject the same, no doubt. But as always, all must prayerfully and sincerely do their best to interpret all scriptures as accurately as they possibly can. And God honors that attitude of the heart.

Thanks for your views on the subject!

Thanks for your compliment and recommendation!

I respect your views on this. I agree we should always obey the government in things that God approves of us to be doing. But that we should not comply with government orders that order us to do things that God has not told us to do. And should not do things that we feel could possibly be...

Yes, the Bible says we will rule over others, as you say! But the source of that power, as always comes from God, and what He allows us to do with that power!
