1A, perhaps you can quote a verse that favors same sex relationships or same sex marriages...

Lofg, I am aware that there is much more going on in Ezekiel 29; however, my point was that the LORD clearly stated that Egypt would be a base nation...

Lofg, I am sure you have learned much from family radio and personally I enjoy listening to their music via the radio; however, when Camping comes on I change the station. You stated that what you have learned comes from the Bible; I disagree; from what I gather Harold Camping leans heavily on numerology which he calculated the end of the world in 1994. He was wrong then and he is wrong now. Yo...more

You are correct when you say that judgment will begin with the house of God [1 Peter 4:17] and again I agree that the Temple in 2 Thessalonians 2 is the Church rather than a rebuilt Jewish Temple. Most expositors of Holy Scripture have come to that conclusion. Once again I agree that Revelation 17 & 18 is not referring to literal Babylon [modern day Iraq]; both Isaiah and Jeremiah say that ancient Babylon would never be rebuilt [Isaiah 13:19-23 & Jeremiah 51:35-40]. I

Q: What will your view be on Harold Camping when you find yourself here May 22 of this year?less

Madyar, I agree; however we can only do our part and pray for others to get involved...Peace

Madyar, my post was referring to the overall persecution of Christians by the world. I understand your frustration but going off on a tangent is not helpful either. I do agree that we can and should do as much as possible to help.

Lofg, for one I am not the one looking outside of the Bible; you are by standing on the false teachings of Harold Camping and two my post said absolutely nothing of the Temple. Three you make the assumption that I believe that the Temple mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2 refers to a rebuilt Jewish Temple; sorry but that is not what I believe.

Sorry Latterday, but the LORD clearly stated that Egypt would never again have a commanding position among the nations...In fact, he says, “…and they shall be a base kingdom” See [Ezekiel 29:14-15].

Reform, I agree; this global rule of Antichrist hasn't taken place...

Hi Bob, this story of the Rich Man and Lazarus is [a parable] and shouldn’t be used as a proof text for hell. Parables are symbolic of deeper truths and contain many practical lessons but everything within them should not be taken literally. This parable is one of a series of parables that actually begins in Luke chapter 15:1-2; the Pharisees who were present believed among other things that...more

Hi Bob, this story of the Rich Man and Lazarus is [a parable] and shouldn’t be used as a proof text for hell. Parables are symbolic of deeper truths and contain many practical lessons but everything within them should not be taken literally.

This parable is one of a series of parables that actually begins in Luke chapter 15:1-2; the Pharisees who were present believed among other things that being rich was the blessing of God and the sign of his favor while the poor lived under God’s curse. So, in this parable [the Rich Man and Lazarus] Jesus merely flipped things around by having the poor man saved and the rich man was lost.

At the end of this parable Jesus declared that if they [the publicans, sinners, and Pharisees of Luke 15:1-2] did not listen to Moses and the prophets neither would they listen if one rose from the dead. Q: Why did Jesus specifically use the name Lazarus? It is interesting that Jesus later would resurrect Lazarus, yet this miracle did not convince the Pharisees that He was the Messiah.less

Poll or no poll it makes no difference; we stand upon the inspired Word of God which says, “But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female” [Mark 10:6].

"Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you" [1 John 3:13].

SB, engaging in a mature discussion here is our best opposition; choosing on the other hand to post immature statements like the one you just posted does not help anyone. I am sorry that you have chosen the latter of the two options…

EH, that is true; however, for the sake of this discussion I was simply making a point ;)

SB, if mortal men such as ourselves [governments] punish transgressors of human law what make you think that God will not punish those who have rejected him and have transgressed his law?

The christ that you claim is here is a counterfeit my friend; the true Christ Jesus will return in the clouds of glory and every eye shall see him [Revelation 1:7]....Even so; come LORD Jesus!

"Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband" [1 Corinthians 7:2]. From the beginning of the creation of God it has been so....Amen!

MAY 21, 2011 = JUDGMENT DAY = A LIE = A FALSE PROPHET ...…“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” [Matthew 24:36].

Chas, you forgot to mention that those atrocities done by Catholics were often times encouraged by the popes of Rome...

A Church taking the “surprising step” by asking its members to “model a biblical lifestyle”... Imagine that?

Lof, putting your trust in the words of Harold Camping will only lead to disappointment....This is not the first time Harold has set a date for Christ’s return; he said Jesus would return in 1994 and now he is saying May 21st of this year…Put your trust in no man… “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” [Matthew 24:36].
