Should we move this to the other discussion? Having two conversations on the same topic gets confusing fast.
And you see this as literal, yes? When we read a statement like this: Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun...
Wait... which second coming? The one where He comes secretly and snatches up all the Christians or the Final Judgement? Oh yeah, is the before...
How does it reinforce the literal? Furthermore, is this how Christians of the 1st century would have understood it? It speaks of wonders,...
Yeah... let's talk about "this generation." Scripture Verse: Matthew 24:34 – Most assuredly I say to you, this generation will not pass away...
No passage in Revelation has encouraged more speculation than this one. The infamous "mark of the beast" has been rendered in terms of everything...
I believe you. So you can cast aside those people who have years of research and learning under their belt? Let's talk about "obvious and...

Right, so he believes in a literal Adam with a literal Eve and a literal talking serpent, in a literal garden with a literal tree of life and tree...
Because Jerusalem in Revelation (like 90% of the rest of the book) is metaphor. Jerusalem was the crown jewel of Israel. It was the location of...
Let me ask you some questions before I answer this. Is it possible that the compilation of the Bible (specifically the New Testament) was done by...
That's not one I have heard. Shane's definition above is accurate in the Hebrew. It means "to miss the mark". Sin is, above all, an honor...
So not really? Okay... I am going to brainstorm here, so please keep in mind that I am not quoting doctrine or anything. These are thoughts...
I posted this in another thread, but I never got a response. For very different look at Revelation (and other books of prophecy) and its...
