    Why do theologians say the USA isn't mentioned in prophecy? See Rev 12

    So, you think that because of this website that it is set in stone that the USA is the woman of Rev.12? These are nothing but the false teachings of men, which you are adopting. I advise sticking with scripture for the answers.

    Why do theologians say the USA isn't mentioned in prophecy? See Rev 12

    Hi Maxwell! I thought the part about the American flag being on the moon as being proof that the woman is the USA was pure conjecture . Russia and China have things up on the moon too. With this kind of reasoning, you could make these symbols anything you want. However, scripture will always...

    Why do theologians say the USA isn't mentioned in prophecy? See Rev 12

    Hello Iamsoandso, Don't confuse the sun, moon and stars in Rev.12, with the sun and moon in Rev.21, for the former is figurative and the latter literal. The woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and wearing a crown of twelve stars, is obviously symbolic. Where Rev.21 is...

    Why do theologians say the USA isn't mentioned in prophecy? See Rev 12

    Greetings RevelationMan, I'm sure that you would agree that scripture should support scripture, yes? I will tell you right off the bat that the United is nowhere to be found in Revelation 12. Regarding scripture supporting scripture, the woman clothed with the sun, moon and stars is revealed in...

    Thief on the Cross

    Well, whatever way you want to slice it, the thief was saved by having faith in Jesus, who had indeed shed his blood and was shedding His blood at the time the thief asked Him to remember Him when He comes into His kingdom. Obviously the man was not saved by keeping the law, by being baptized...

    Thief on the Cross

    Greetings Wansvic, You are answering your own question. The man on the cross was saved as all are saved and that by having faith in Christ alone, not baptism, no works, no by following the law, etc. When the man said, "Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom," he was confessing...

    Hello to all...just joined today!

    Hello again Tasha! Not to appear to be rushing you or anything, but the only way to develop a relationship with the Lord is to first say "yes, I believe that I am a sinner and that I believe that you paid the penalty for all of my sins." Once you or anyone does that, then as we go from faith to...

    Hello to all...just joined today!

    Greetings and Welcome, Tasha66, Regarding the Jehovah's Witnesses, it is best to get right to the root of the problem with them. The prophecy in Isaiah 7:14 regarding Christ, states that "The Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son...

    Greetings! It is not referring to two different gospels, but two different groups (Jew & Gentile) but the same gospel.

    Why do Dispensationalists teach Separation Theology?

    Hello CV5, Just to be clear, it is 7 sevens + 62 sevens = 69 sevens, at the end of which Messiah was cut off. 7 sevens = The issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem which was given by King Artaxerxes per Daniel's request and which were the letters/decrees given to Daniel for...

    I don't understand some Bible verses.

    Correction on the second to the last paragraph: So, the scripture above supports the idea of the definition of the word "miseo" to basically mean that if anyone comes to Jesus and does not "love less than the Lord" his own father and mother, wife, children and brother and sisters, etc., then we...

    I don't understand some Bible verses.

    Agreed! The double-edged sword is figurative representing the word of God. This truth is revealed in Heb.4:12, Eph.6:17 and Hosea 6:5. Basically, Jesus will speak the word of God and all the wicked gathered there will drop dead and the birds will eat their flesh.

    Why do Dispensationalists teach Separation Theology?

    Greetings UnitedWithChrist, You are correct in that, the church is made up of both Jew and Gentile. However, there is also unbelieving Israel which God is going to deal with during the tribulation period. When the Lord appears to gather His church, the dead in Christ (both Jew and Gentile)...

    I don't understand some Bible verses.

    Hello miker088, In understand how this could be confusing. The problem is with the Greek word "miseo" translated as "hate," which based on the actual Greek word, is a bad translation. When we take into consideration that under the law we are to "honor our mother and father," how then can we...

    Twinkling of an eye

    I agree with you up to this point my friend, but in regards to the "one taken and the other left." In consideration of the state of the world, if you are trying to convince me that half of the population of the earth is going to be caught up, I would have to greatly disagree. Besides, I have...

    Prayer Request

    Though it may or may not bring hope and comfort to you, I will share with you what I have been going through for the last year. About two years ago, I began to pray that God would make it possible for me to retire or provide another way of making a living. Last year I resigned from my computer...

    Hello mindy92, "In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in various trials so that the proven character of your faith—more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation...
