          It appears so, otherwise why should they wear crosses? It is fortunate that he was not stoned?!

      Tonight? It's a bit late for guests but sure. I'll just go take a quick shower. Oh heck, he was born 2000 years ago I bet I don't smell half as bad as they did back then.

      He likes wine, I take it? I'll have to send out for some if it isn't too late. I've only got beer and tequila. 

      Hey! This isn't a put on is it? You aren't going to disappoint me are you? I've heard this before and he's always been a no show.

      Just in case, coke or ginger ale will have to do if he's thirsty. I'm not going out for wine at this time of night for nothing again.

        It's rather rude to call SirDent a pork, don't you think? I know he lies about things he can't possibly know about, but that is no reason to call him names. He has no idea he is lying.

        Most people don't realize that when they assert something that they can not possibly know with any certainty as if it is fact, they are in fact lying. But that's because critical thinking isn't big with people who take things on faith.

        Not his fault that he has contracted a meme that prevents him from knowing fact from speculation and myth. It's a disease that is rampant in human society even today.

        But the good news is it can be cured successfully with lessons in logic and a change in attitude. There is always hope.

In fact - I think as the majority of the world believes in Jesus - I think we can lay the blame on your doorstep - can't we? Guess that means it is time to try logic and knowledge instead.

          I know what he means, but I still don't think calling christians swine is appropriate, do you? I prefer to think of them as ill informed due to cultural traditions and superstitions that range back to the cave man.

          The logical mind will eventually prevail or the species is doomed to continue suffering the error of myth and fantasy. It's not a sin but it's not helping.

          Take the Muslims for example. They are now where Christianity was 400 years ago. In a word: intolerant and dangerous.

          Wait, that's two words. Intolerant dangerous and  violent. Oh no, that's three words. Lets start again. Intolerant, dangerous, violent and fanatical.

          Oh hell, you get what I mean, right?

          Christianity is on the decline as atheism rises. Eventually the same will happen to Islam. Hope it doesn't take 400 years.

          The logical mind will prevail.

          Now I have given you my pearls, and I don't even consider you a swine. You are a lost brother.

          Hey, that's what the Catholic church considers all heretics these days. Why shouldn't I return the favour?

          Good of someone to make the distinction.
          Still, worship of a man is strictly forbidden and the last time I read, Y`shua was indeed flesh and bone -ask Thomas and the others he ate with, on the beach and in the room, after the resurrection, right up to the ascending.

          AND my ultimately profound question would be this, regarding a 2nd coming: Why?
          nothing is left for him to do. After the sacrifice was made, the work complete, covenant fulfilled, life restored, grave overturned {passover completed}, KOH reopened, his work was finished: exemplified by "sitting" at the right hand of the Father. From then on, the Fathers Ruach [Spirit] was restored to lead/guide, once more, as with Adam.

            In Isaiah 7:14 you will find that it was foretold that Jesus would come to this earth by virgin birth.  In Matthew 1:18-25 you will read of the birth of Jesus which states that Jesus in verse 18 was conceived by the Holy Spirit or Immaculate conception if you will.  Jesus is God's son and also the son of Joseph who was a human being.  This makes Jesus Godman.
            Jesus is fully God and fully man.  He was sent here to live his life and be a demonstration of the way that we should live our lives. 

            John 1:1-18 tells us that Jesus was the Word which was God and that the Word was made flesh through his birth on this earth.  Jesus led a perfect, sinless life, thus making him the perfect sacrifice for our sins on the cross so that we may have forgiveness and everlasting life. 

            In the Old Testament the attonement for the sins of the people was the sacrificing of the most perfect animal such as a lamb, goat, oxen, bird etc.  After Jesus birth, He was the perfect lamb and sacrifice for our sins because he had not sinned.  In Hebrews 1:1-3 we see that Jesus is indeed Godman and that because of this he made reconsiliation for us through his death, buriel and resurrection.  In chapter 2:1-4 we see the role of Jesus in our salvation.  In verses 14-18 in chapter 2 we see that in the death of Jesus satan was defeated.

            In Philippians 2:5-11 we see the example of life that Jesus came to this earth to demonstrate to all of us. He lived the life of a servant which is the way that we should live our lives unto God.  He demonstrated his obedience by his death on the cross for our sins.   In verses 10-11 you will see that when Jesus does come back to this earth every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess Jesus as Lord and Savior.  Those that have asked Jesus into their hearts will go to heaven and those that have not will go to hell.  If you have any doubt about hell you are wrong in doing so.

              Dian, am very familiar with the texts.
              But that wasn't my question, essentially.

              Truth be told, you are godman -err well- godwoman. Every human is god-man {elohim} because he is our Abba {Elohim}. Every human has been given the same Spirit that raised Y`shua from the dead. This is the same Spirit that was breathed into man that made him a living being, brooded over creation itself and is all of creation itself. So the 200% {100% heaven 100% earth} concept is true, but not the way most perceive. Y`shua being the 2nd Adam makes things perfectly clear. A flesh-bone perfect human, as Adam was before the Inception, and demonstrated precisely that lifestyle. Heaven-Earth is the kingdom and that kingdom has been reopened by his work. But he is not to be worshiped...

              John {the Baptizer} is simply reiterating precisely what I said. Ruach, the Hebrew word for Breath is equal to the word Word. It appears 25,000 times in Torah, as well as Epistles and Letters. It is the same term used to describe the creation of man -the Breath of Life. As John emphasizes: "And Life was the Light in man {spirit}." Same as the word became flesh. This reinforces Genesis where Creator "breathed in man the breath of life".

              And yes, I am certain Hell {the Grave, Pit, Sheol, Hades} has been swallowed up in the victory over death itself. This was the purpose of the work, to free all men from the effect of sin which is death. Just for reference: Rev 20.5-6. It clearly states all this happened at the resurrection. smile

              James.

      Delusion is bliss.  But at least it saves you from ever having to accept that we live in a world that we are just beginning to understand...and a reality that we cannot fully comprehend.

      Just like the rest of us, you are not gonna meet any Jesus, or Rumpelstiltskin, or Peter Pan, when you die.

      You'll just be dead...that's all.

          Yes I do.  Why would I not?  I have no recollection of anything before my birth, so I'm sure there is no consciousness after my death...as they(death and before conception) are the exact same states.

          Of course, wishful thinking can create an infinite number of erroneous perceptions.

        The first part He was dealing with the sin and broken faith.
        Now He is coming as the King.

          He was just speaking to me as he often does because, as he tell me I'm special. He says he is not coming until we get our sh*t together. All he wants is for us to feed the hungry and take care of all peoples. He says I should lead the way but to do so I need money. There is only so many places left in heaven and he is reserving those placing for people who fill up my paypal account. The more money you deposit the better your ranking so don't be stingy.

If my words bother you, perhaps you should direct your anger towards the people who extract money from the gullible on a daily (TV) or weekly (Sunday) basis.

The same time 40 million souls were saved. Good deal, one soul for one dollar. I am licensed minister. I do not take any salary. I publish books, pamphlets and Newsletter for free. But it is my choice. I have more I need. I am paying from my second work 10% tithes. 
                I believe doctors and pastors should be payed best. They take care of body and souls. Politician, Lawyers???? I like to send them to exile let say St. Helen. Still I have to love them. I cannot harm them.

                  Lets have a look at your statement "Why Hollywood actors can be rich but not evangelists?"
                  You were kidding right? Hollywood actors are paid by movie sales and based on how many people go see their movies. They in no way ask the gullible to send their retirement income so they can make a boat payment. Evangelists save no souls, nobody sees the light watching these guys they are already believers. Elderly people are lied to and taken advantage of by these Televangelists. These people are the scum of the earth and usually end up getting caught with there hand in the cooke jar. I believe it was your Jesus who told his decibels to remain poor and without sandals. Don't you see the hypocrisy? Televangelists are nothing but con artists hiding behind Jesus. You should be ashamed of the words you spoke. I happen to have a few lawyer friends and let me tell you they have some sense of decency and a strong moral compass. Thats two things Televangelists don't have. Shame on you. These people steel from the Elderly and gullible.

So if the New Jerusalem is the bride of Christ, and that bride is the Church made of living stones, then it's been here all this time and the kingdom of God is in us and all around us........Just saying.

        So when did the thousand year reign happen?  What about Satan when was he cast into the bottomless pit and locked in?  Who was the antichrist who came and the world had complete peace for 3.5 years?  When was Satan loosed out of the pit for a season?  When were the dead cast into the lake of fire?

          Disappearingheadposted 11 years agoin reply to this

          Rev 1:1 says that this was the revelation OF Jesus that was given to Him concerning events that would happen soon. So the soon was from Jesus' perspective at the time it was given to Him. An angel some time later shared it with John.

          Jesus had this revelation at some time before His crucifiction, because He shared something of it to the disciples in Matt 24. An example is the sixth seal. In Revelation 6 the sun is darkened, stars fell to Earth, the sky rolled up, and there was an earthquake. In Matt 24, Jesus says the sky will be darkened, the stars will fall, heaven will be shaken, which sounds like the sky being rolled up to me. At Jesus death, the sky was darkened, and there was an earthquake. At this point orthodoxy says Satan was defeated and as angels are often pictured as stars, this would be the point the satan star fell to Earth. So the sixth seal has already happened.

          Upon resurection all things were made new. So revolutionary was the change in man's state before God because of Jesus sacrifice, that it is like a new heaven and Earth. The new kingdom is of living stones and God now dwells amoungst His people via the indwelling of the HS. Jerusalem is the bride = the Church, so the New Jerusalem is here now. Jesus said at the cross it is finished, so there it is, finished, no more to do, Revelation completely fulfilled.

          Also consider in Daniel the rock hewn from the mountain that smashed the kingdoms of the Earth and grew into a mountain that covered the Earth. This is the kingdom of God that came in Jesus time and has grown ever since and will never be destroyed or conquered. The orthodox view of a future revelation contradicts Daniel.

          All I'm saying Sr Dent is have a reread of Revelation from the viewpoint that it is talking about Jesus ministry on Earth, his sacrifice, and was all completed at the resurection.

            The time lines do not match up with what you are saying.  If you will read and notice in the first 4 chapters of Revelation it is written, "Let those who have an ear hear what the spirit has to say."  After those chapters it is written, "let he who has an ear hear."  No spirit speaking.

            Aside from what I pointed out previously, when did the waters turn to wormwood?  Whop was the great whore?  When did new Jerusalem come down from god out of heaven?  When did Jesus come back from heaven with ten thousands of His saints?  When did every eye see Him?  Who were the two witnesses that were killed and lay in the streets for 3.5 days and then were brought back to life?

            Are you saying there is record of all these things and even more that I have not mentioned so far?

              I'm saying that much of Revelation was fulfilled by Jesus ministry, death and resurection, and the events that were soon to come to pass we're soon from his perspective. 2000 years delay is not soon by any definition.

              The Great whore was Israel, this is what Ezekiel called her hundreds of years previously. The New Jerusalem is called the bride, but so is the Church, so they may be one and the same.

              There are other tie ups I'm sure and I think it's worth investigation.

              Besides which the Jews believed the Messiah would come as king with a great conquering army to defet their enemies. They were wrong as his coming was not how they expected. Christians think there's a second coming Messiah as a king with a gret conquering army too. Maybe they are wrong also for the same reason.

                I am just gonna say I disagree with who the whore is but not gonna discuss it.



                How about we choose one prophecy and discuss it until we have exhausted it then get on another?



                Well, if you believe the book of Revelation you will also believe Jesus will come with a great army.  If not, there is no point in continuing this discussion.

          Sir Dent 


            The 1000 year reign takes place in Heaven. There is no biblical reference of 1000 years  of peace on earth! These dead people (Rev 20) are seen in heaven and not on earth.
            It is written that Satan gives the beast his power and his seat to this beast (Rev. 13) At some time afterwards Satan is thrown into the pit for 1000 years. When he gets out, He, the beast and false prophet gathers together the kings of the earth for battle. The 1000 years are contained within the 42 months which the beast is given.

            In this instance we do not use the timeline comparison between prophetic time and time on earth because the word Years is not an Angelic term.
          A year on earth is 52.2 of our weeks.  52.2 Prophet weeks is called "A Time
          You ask  "Who was the antichrist who came and the world had complete peace for 3.5 years YOU ask?
             
          Daniel 9:27  "And he shall confirm THE Covenant with many for one week .."
             Who is  "HE"  in this verse?  I believe this is still talking about "Messiah The Prince, who when he comes after 69 weeks "CONFIRMS" THE Covenant with many for that last remaining week of the 70 which that Hebrew Nation was given to quit sinning and anoint the "Most Holy".
             30 years after the 70 weeks had come to completion, the Last Jewish revolt broke out and was put down by 133 AD.
             By 149 AD, That Hebrew Nation which were given 70 weeks no longer exists
          Satan was released from the pit around 1890. A little is 13 weeks. A little season is almost 13 weeks. A week in prophesy is approx 9.16 of our years. Or 119 of our years.
          The little season is almost completed, and the 7th trumpet will soon sound and the 7th bowl will soon be poured out.

                  62 weeks of prophesy = 568 of our years. Unless Jesus was not the Messiah?

              When doing so,  I found is that Church teaches many false assumptions and misinterpretations of prophesy as written in scriptures. 

                These are much more interesting than the truth.

          This is I understand. Jesus appears in clouds with the saints. We meet Him in the cloud. We will fallow resurrected and our body will be changed to eternal bodies. The saints which came with the Lord are spirits and souls, which died. They will pick the new resurrected bodies.
          Each person has own DNA. Spiritual and physical bodies match their DNA. This is why reincarnation is impossible. I think second resurrection will come before final judgement.  *** Each ID DNA is recorded in the Book of Life.

            The actual DNA of humans is faith -the energy of Creator, life source, Breath aka Light. It only makes sense the body -its entire atomic structure is from the same. A perfect balance of heaven-earth. Albeit, it has been altered, but certainly does not imply the original body cannot be restored.

            I just had this conversation about the transfiguration leading up to the resurrection. Several examples throughout Torah examine this status of the physical ability, look/feel, when a spirit is "fully charged".

                      The most "basic" of the elemental is pure light, so far.
                      But accordingly, QP cannot "see" them. They know they are there, because of the interaction of sub-atomic units being "created" out of "thin air" when two different units collide/intercept. The interesting thing is the "neutral" property, which does not leave a reflection or visible display. this happens to every single known element in the universe -which would include the compounds that make up DNA. It is a very fascinating subject.

                      Seems logical, though, that the most abundant thing in the universe is light, therefore the units that make up light form all the other elements called hydrogen, and their sub-atomic parts and their ultra-sub atomic parts.

                      The neutral property -often defined as space- is still light, just not projective or reflective.

                      Who knows how "small" they are @ the "purest" level? One can only wonder.

                      The only thing greater than the amount of every grain of sand on earth is every star or sun in the Universe.

Which brings me to the encore, itself. He came back three days after he was crucified (actually, only two days, but who's counting?) Wouldn't that be his second coming? Or, didn't that one count? Now, back to the three days. "As Jonah was in the belly of the whale, three days and three nights, so shall the Son Of Man be in the bowels of the earth." If you can squeeze three days and three nights between Friday evening and Sunday morning, I'll eat YOUR shorts.

      Jesus is not coming back. He was merely a profit that was more intelligent than the people around him. He may have had contact with the other planes of existence but just like any other prophet in history. Religion is merely a phrase that defines those who do not seek to find truth they look for it it one spot without ever looking at anything else. There is much every religion and cultures can teach us.

      The prophecies in Revelation cannot have been fulfilled already.  If they had been we would have heard about all those things I mentioned before.

         You do have to remember that the temple was burned to the ground and not a brick sitting upon another was to be found .... AND  In 135 AD after the last Jewish revolt was put down in Jerusalem.  Hadrian had all religious papers burned in a celebration when part of the city was leveled where His temple was going to be built and two Idols were set up One to himself and one to Jupiter.

         Hadrian died before construction of His temple could begin.

         A lot of information was lost when the entire population was either being killed or relocated.

         And for centuries, the RCC searched the world over, collecting as many of these artifacts as possible.


         And the library in Alexandris was THE library of the day  which 1/3 of those books were burned by the Turks
       
          Just saying;   anything is possible..

        I think you are addressing me in this post.  Let me ask you this.  When did the second death occur?  When did the New Jerusalem come down from God out of heaven?  Why is there still sin in the world?  Why doesn't the lamb lie with the lion?  What was the name of the antichrist or the group that was called antichrist?

        Why is the Holy Spirit still in effect and why is Jerusalem still in an uproar?

          Sorry I meant to hit reply button.

          I didn't say that   ALL   of prophey is fulfilled?
          I think every thing except the last sentance which you wrote is not supposed to happen untill after the 7th trumpet and 7th bowl.

             I think the rest of the events mentioned in Rev. have been spread out through out history.

            It just isn't over, quite yet.  As far as the reestablishment of the Hebrew nation, I'm not sure how that fits into prophesy?

            The first temple still stands. The temple of Moses was actually the 2nd, and Herod's temple was the third. Jesus said that the body is the temple, wherein God resides.  Don't make me repeat myself.smile

        That's not possible.  We have His birth certificate already, in multiples of copies available and distributed all around the world.    He ain't Obama.  LOL.  And he didn't withhold that information and whip out a faked one just in time for Election Day.  lol
        You surely worry waaay too much! lol

      More important is what are you going to do when you find out He is the King of Kings and sits on the judgement seat.

        Yes, but many will not believe it until it is too late.

        They had the prophets...

      It is my understanding that Solomon’s Temple was first finished in 986 BC; which was destroyed 480 years later. In 586 it was totally destroyed along with the City (Jerusalem)
        God commanded Cyrus to rebuild the Temple, EZRA 1:2.
        This is the commandment which Gabriel informed Daniel of in Daniel 9:23.
        Herod remodeled this temple or we might say added onto it.

        Many theologians would have us to believe that the commandment (Daniel 9:23) came forth when Nehemiah was instructed to finish building the wall around the city which had already been rebuilt!  This is the beginning of confusion concerning prophesy.

        By the way ...  brings to mind a question! ..  Why are the books in the OT SOooo mixed up concerning Chronological order?
          They would be much easier to understand when read in chronological order!
      I just answered my question!

      This is for everyone who attempts to understand prophesies written in Daniel and revelation.

        Imagine writing a book about WWII  and disregard any dates and chronological order to those events which you describe.
        AND you have shuffled the chapters in such a way as to lose ANY understanding of what you wrote about.
       
        You might ask  "WHY would I shuffle the chapters"" 
        That is a good question indeed! ...  why did they?

        The point being made is that without a clear understanding of the chronological order of things; a long list of events would be meaningless.
        Daniel 9:1 tells us when Daniel received this message (538 BC)
        Daniel 9:23 tells us THE Commandment has just then went forth.
        Daniel 9:25 & 26  tells us that it will be 62 weeks until they kill the Messiah. 568 years later they did!
         This IS the key to understanding prophesy which for some reason has been ignored for the past 16oo plus years?
