Speaking of legs of iron. The western Roman empire generally accepted is that 476 AD was the fall. The other leg the Eastern Roman Empire or Byzantium fell in 1453.

It was a intentional choice as @Dino246 points out I could have used Heiser. Which I could have used his review as well as others. I chose Erhman because he is not what one would call an ally to the faith where others might be seen as one. As I stated Bart is no friend of the faith. So was...

Not speaking for Dino, but from what he has posted would say he is talking about the two powers in heaven concept that the Jews saw around the 2nd temple period. Rabbinical scholar Alan Segal wrote about how some Jews did see two powers. Not sure it would be a easy argument to have here as it...

In any type of analysis of ones mindset isn't the first thing that is deducted that if someone says a statement like they are not perfect it is false humility. As they truly believe the opposite. Isn't your whole declaration here of your righteousness and how you are the better man? That is...

Ok I got ya and understand why you quoted Rev 1:3. I think it applicable in the heed in the broad sense of the whole book and a understanding of Gods plan from start to finish. However, more so in the narrow sense as it applies directly to the church. I think what they need to heed and do and...

Thanks for the reply I was curious as to how you read it wondering if other teachings may be involved. So I reckon to get a better understanding of Christ suffering at the hands of demons and Satan in hell. How did they get there? When Christ casts out the demons they asked did he come to...

I am not sure I am understanding the question. Isn't the whole bible written for believers every book? Revelation contains imagery that was already introduced in the Old Testament. Isn't the New Testament a connecting of the dots in the Old Testament to give us a clearer picture and...

I find in the broader sense that the 1st covenant was made between God and man. Showing our inability to keep it. Whereas the 2nd is made between God and God showing it ever in force because of the faithfulness of God and his ability to do all he promises.

Mine was a question to him about a doctrine known as Christ becoming sin. Reason I ask him is because we at present when time allows are also debating if Christ was preached as deity as part of salvation. So having heard the teaching of Christ became sin, I am aware of also a teaching that...

The most influential propagandist in my honest opinion would have to be Edward Bernays. As nephew of Sigmund Freud he would use what he knew of the human psyche for manipulation. He argued that propaganda was not a gimmick but an actual necessity. Of course he was aware that Americans did not...

Anytime I have heard this preached it ends with Christ became the very first to be born again. Is that how you read and understand this doctrine of him becoming sin itself then paying the price in hell?

Yeah brother, I am sorry when I was replying I had every intention to say yes I have visited ones here and on occasion will travel up to South Denver. So my apologies I get typing then forget many times what all I was gonna type.

I find that Paul and Christ used the Sabbath as a day to do God's work. It was a mission day. In Hebrews, which I personally account to Paul as the writer. I read don't forsake the gathering. I don't find that it was done on Saturday. As Paul said I become all things to all men that I may...

That one does seem to be the one I hear the most on the punctuation. I guess for me it has never bothered me nor the punctuation at all. As I always read Christ is speaking from the reality of where they are going and not where they are. As on the other side even though three days had passed...

Yeah I have to agree. There are things that today I sometimes don't agree with that I learnt yesterday. However, for me personally the best teachers or preachers I have heard are the ones that have turned me into a Berean and ignited a hunger in me that lasts even today. So that I find I am...

Yes, no. Not formally as we were not a off branch. I live in Colorado Springs and like most areas it is unique in it's make up. We have Fort Carson, the Air Force Academy, Peterson Air Force Base, Space Command, Space Force, Shriver Air Force Base, and NORAD. So we are heavy on military and...

Thanks again for just another time you respond with kindness thank you :)

I am a Charismatic. Grew up in that vane of the faith during the Charismatic renewal years and the Jesus movement. Come the 80's I made a conscious decision to go after sin and the pleasures of this world. Spent 3 decades plus some years in the world. God of course has a way that you can't...

This I find interesting. Some years back when I first heard that the New Testament was written without punctuation it got my mind going. So I dug in and it was in the 3rd century BC that the Greeks started punctuation believe first was the comma. I theorize that the problem arose because as...

There is a familiar arrogance and condescension in you. You wouldn't have happened to be Jimmy the Lock in a prior iteration would you?
