Then some might also say about that Isaiah Scripture about that stumbling at God's Word, "Well, that's not meant for Christ's Church. It's for the Jews of Israel. And Peter was talking to his Jewish brethren, and not us believing Gentiles." WRONG!
2 Peter 2:1-3
2 But there were false prophets...
Apostle Peter explains the meaning of that 'stone of stumbling' from Isaiah per the New Covenant...
1 Peter 2:1-8
2 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow...
Here's some side notes on Isaiah 28, the precept upon precept idea, that the 19th century British Bible scholar E.W. Bullinger put in his KJV study Bible called The Companion Bible.
Isaiah 28:10
For = For [say they] mimicking the prophet as though he were teaching little children in a school...
I still disagree, because there aren't that many Churches today that actually cover God's Word line upon line, chapter by chapter. Not doing it that way at all opens up a pathway for man's philosophy to creep into the teaching of God's Word and blindly calling... it God's Word. And I don't think...
I am pretty much with you on all that. I'm older too, and feel the same way about younger brethren today.
As I have gotten older, and stayed in God's Word, it seems to me that The LORD keeps opening things up more to me in His Word. Like that "neither was their place found any more in heaven"...
Yep! Apostle Peter said that God is long suffering, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter.3). But that definitely does not... mean all... are going to repent and be saved from their being cast into the future "lake of fire" because of rejecting Him...
WARNING: any time someone says something like the above when pointing to God's Word, it is usually in preparation to take you away... from what is actually 'written' in The Word of God.
The original posts are full of 'fleshy' references against Islam, trying to replace the actual revealing of...
A little later in Hebrews 11 is given a bit more explanation of how that 1st verse is meant...
Heb 11:3
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
KJV
That part in red reveals that...
I never actually liked Star Trek though, couldn't handle all the silly looking monster aliens, they made me laugh. Lost In Space was more my line, even though it too at times had monster looking aliens, but not so much. God doesn't do monsters.
This is why I believe the powers that be, through...
Truly it is time today that the Church considers this matter of alien visitors from another planet, because there have already been U.S. Congressional hearings with testimony by three U.S. Navy pilots that came forth to describe what they saw and experienced when flying their Navy jets off the...
You guys aren't really serious about the Baptist thing, I mean really!
I definitely am not a Baptist. I was raised in the Church of Christ, which I later found out it adhere's mostly to men's seminary doctrine called Preterism, which is just as bad as the false pre-trib rapture theory that...
Excuse me for butting in, however...
The more one gets into Bible study and keeping it as written, then why we are here in this world, what we are supposed to accomplish in Christ Jesus, and understanding why this present world time is so imperfect, then one slowly comes to the realization that...
1 Cor 1:10-13
10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my...
You just described one of the main reasons why I am here on this Forum.
When we become a 'workman' in God's Word, like Apostle Paul admonished Timothy to do per 2 Timothy 2:15, the reason for doing that is so as to be approved of God, and thus be a workman that need not be ashamed...
2 Tim...
I don't want to offend those deceived by man's false pre-trib rapture theory, but it's very difficult for those to not... act offended when one tries to help them recognize the actual Word of God vs. man's word.
You just need to study more of your Bible and don't dwell on that idea of wrath until you properly understand for what time the actual destruction of the wicked will be.
Did you even bother to read the first part of that 1 Thessalonians 5:1-8 Scripture by Apostle Paul?
Paul is pointing to...
Per Hebrews 4:12, God made us with 3 parts, spirit, soul, and bones and marrow.
Study in God's Word reveals what each part means, and where each part is from.
In Ecclesiastes 12:5-7, we are shown that if our "silver cord" is severed, meaning flesh death, our flesh goes back to the earth where...
WARNING BRETHREN:
Do not listen to this person above falsely claiming that our Lord Jesus Christ is the "abomination of desolation", which that abomination is about an IDOL that the coming false-Messiah will setup in false worship in a 3rd stone temple built by the Jews in today's JERUSALEM!
