Well that will be quite the event. I keep an open mind and will never say that it can't be so. I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens. I do beleive though that that prophecy is loaded with symbolism, i don't think that someone is literally going to appear on a white horse with flaming...

According to the synoptics it took place on Nisan 15.

I heard someone remark that, "God is an imaginary friend for adults." I thought it was funny but I don't think It is imaginary at all.

Since we're all tossing facts araound I'm going to contribute. the synoptic gospels describe the last meal which Jesus shared with his apostles as a passover supper, and in doing this present an unlikely scenario. According to gospels the interrogations of Jesus by the high priest and the...

Faithful, if you believe that Jesus will return in the flesh, how then will he come? Will he be born of woman again, grow up and begin to preach? Will he suddenly appear in a person already alive and here on earth or do you see him as coming out of the sky in flesh form?

As far as Lucifer goes, this name didn't come into being until two and a half thousand years after Isaiah wrote of the luminous falling star. Translated into Latin it is Lucifer (light bearer) Isaiah 14:12-15 How you have fallen from heaven, Omorning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast...

Read Genesis 1:26-27 ........... "let us make man in our own image"............ If taken literally than God is both good and evil, dark and light

One of the reasons i brought this is up is due to the bat qol( if it could be called that)at Jesus' baptism. The voice from heaven which said'this is my son, of whom i am proud) I have heard that this has parallels to the bat qol and that this statement from God may have roots in another...

Jesus' use of Son of Man was not always spoken of in the first person nor could it directly be linked to Jesus at all times. Apart from the NT,"son of man"is most commonly used in Aramaic as a noun( a man/the man) or as indefinite pronoun(one/someone). According to Geza Vermes the climax of...

It depends for me what you mean by original sin. I have heard some say that we are inherently evil. I don't know if this is what is meant by original sin or not. I dismiss the belief that man is inherently evil. this is simply not so. Do we sin? yes of course. Sin means to be off the mark. I...

Thanks for the honesty Luna.

VC, I see the things I mentioned as inner signs of the kingdom. Born again, selling your belongings, giving to the poor, praying. These are bi-products of an inner transformation. Who would sell all their belongings or even speak in terms of "born again" without ainner change of heart and...

Mee, John 3:3 " I tell you the truth noone can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." Jesus on many occasions alluded to a faith in God that transcended plain old ritual devotion and outward observances to law. I have tallied all of his remarks of the kingdom and I interpret them as...

To think that to say it was soley the Jews fault for killing Jesus is not true. The thought that Pontius Pilate didn''t want to kill Jesus because he couldn't find him guilty is also a liitle naive. Pontious Pilate executed hundreds if not thousands of people indiscrimantley. The writers of the...

I differ that it doesn't matter what was really said. It is extremely important to know what was said and added to the Bible. People preach a message of eternal life and damnation from interpretations they get out of the Bible. If mistranslated or conveyed biasly to someone, it can lead to alot...

Jesus clearly said in numerous cases that the kingdom was present, not finished, but present. People were entering the kingdom on a daily basis. That isn't to say it would continue and culminate in the future but it was clearly a here and now type preaching that Jesus did.

I like that mee. I would be more inclined to interpret it that way. Not every body believes that the end days will be a desrtuction of the flesh and earth. Some believe that the end days will be the end of our current state of consciousness. The flames are symbollic perhaps for a burning away of...

I tend to belive this also, that Christ will not return in the flesh. Christ returns daily, to those who believe in him. Christ is present daily for those that believe in him.

Is anyone here familiar with the term bat qol? IF so can you give me some information?

Mee, can you give an example of what you just said? Verse wise that is.
