    The Second Coming of Christ and the First Resurrection.

    No need to apologize, I purposefully wait to answer post while I think/pray about it for a while. And yes, I understand your concerns about what people say and the words they use. We don' have much control and that's what you get in the world of "apologetics," it can get brutal at times...

    The Second Coming of Christ and the First Resurrection.

    Thanks for your post. I first want to say regarding this issue of "the rapture" or if you will the "second coming" as to its timing, before the tribulation or after the tribulation should not divide us as Christians. My point is that there will be disagreements but we all should be grateful that...

    The Second Coming of Christ and the First Resurrection.

    Those that are saved/born again comprise the Bride of Christ. Ephesians 5:25-27. Secondly, or right now those that are saved/born again are "Betrothed" to Christ, or engaged but not yet married. Does that make sense? IN GOD THE SON, bluto

    The Second Coming of Christ and the First Resurrection.

    Thank you for your view and explanation. And yes, I know and I never said the rapture is for the purpose of the wedding feast. In fact, I never even thought of it that way. Secondly, please read the first paragraph from the Lion and Lamb ministries...

    The Second Coming of Christ and the First Resurrection.

    Here's another question I like to ask the pre-tribers? Look at what the Apostle John says at 1 John 2:18. "Children, it is the last hour and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrist have arisen; from this we know that it is the las hour." Why does John tell the...

    The Second Coming of Christ and the First Resurrection.

    As 1 Thessalonians 5:9 states, "For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ." This verse is constantly used by the pre-trib rapture people but they are taking it out of context. Wrath is what awaits those who do not have salvation. Now, look...

    Is Michael God?

    First of all you may be angry with me but I am not angry with you. Secondly, I am not judging you but rather responding to your own words. Your the one that brought the killing issue and had sympathy with Islam. Your the one that brought up Mormonism and (yes I know you don't follow them) and...

    Is Michael God?

    Really! Why is it you have problems with violence with Christians killing other Christians (which is definitely wrong) and the following demonstrates how violent Mormonism was. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormonism_and_violence And you find Trinitarianism ludicrous? I wonder why Mormons went...

    Is Michael God?

    Well who are you to pass judgment on the NT and the Apostle Paul who Jesus Christ Himself personally picked to be an Apostle? Did Jesus "muck" it up in His choice? And yes, Christians were burning each other at the stake, that's one of the reasons we are all sinners and yes, even Christians...

    Is Michael God?

    Welcome to the chat rooms Katia. Michael is just that, an angel and an arch angel at that. He is not God, and he is not the pre-incarnate Jesus Christ who is known in the Old Testament as "the angel of the Lord." Also, Melchizedek is not Jesus Christ as some believe. This is nicely explained in...

    Is Michael God?

    No, Michael the arc angel is not God, nor is Michael the "angel of the Lord" in the Old Testament. It's impossible that he is God. or even Jesus Christ. The JW's teach that Michael is Jesus Christ and that is patently incorrect, and so do the Adventists. IN GOD THE SON, bluto

    can you help me find a verse?

    I believe your referring to Revelation 22:11. The following is an explanation of what it means. #1 “Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong;” As stated above, there will be nothing to stop an unbeliever from continuing in unbelief and the wrongdoing that accompanies the godless. When...

    7th Letter to the Church of Laodicea

    First of all it is not necessary for you to make "snide" remarks about me having the spirit of a Pharisee. It shows how 'Biblically" immature you are with a prideful attitude. And no, I'm not upset with you. I have been at this for 59 years now and I know a little bit of what I'm talking about...

    7th Letter to the Church of Laodicea

    Your very last paragraph has nothing to do with the meaning of Revelation 3:14. Again, Revelation 3:14 is specifically teaching that Jesus Christ is the "CREATOR/ORIGIN" of everything, period. What the Apostle John wrote here is backed up by what he wrote at John 1:1. Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1...

    7th Letter to the Church of Laodicea

    There was a reason I brought up Revelation 3:14 and the part that says, " ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: You said, "Try and stay away from Commentaries." I'm pretty sure you said the same thing in some of your past post. When...

    7th Letter to the Church of Laodicea

    Revelation 3:14 says, "The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God, says this." My question is for you directly Laffur, (and without using any commentaries) why does it say God created Jesus Christ? The part that says, the Beginning of the creation of God, bluto

    What examples of dual fulfillment of prophecy exists in the New Testament?

    The same with me in the early 70's and late 80's. I have just about every single thing that he wrote including all his tapes and debates etc. I also attended his funeral after he died on June 26, 1989. I attended a lot of his meetings when we lived in California. I knew Rob Bowman, Craig...
