Re: Challenge -- Write Like Paul
I don't follow why you are doing this. Paul had his own way of writing, speaking, expressing himself, and teaching. Most, if not all of that was given to him by revelation, and therefore becomes the word of God. What is the purpose of us trying to write or speak in the same or similar way as he did...

Re: Challenge -- Write Like Paul
Here's an example of taking part of this passage and saying it the way I might (but without the nuances Paul uses). What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God. 3 Fo...

Challenge -- Write Like Paul
Paul writes in a continuous well-connected fashion. If someone has the term for this style of writing, please share it. The challenge is to write out some ideas (or doctrines) in this tightly interwoven fashion. It is okay, however, just to ask questions or add some more insights into this style. We...

Re: Jesus is God
I don't believe henotheism is a reasonable position - there I no biblical or historical sense I'm aware of that would support this at least in orthodox ancient Judaism. The God of the Bible which the Jews believed in was in no way seen as "their pick" among many in a pantheon of gods or anything so...

Re: Jesus is God
It is mind-boggling that deniers of Jesus being God could actually twist this and pervert it for their own devious purposes. It is even more mind-boggling to think that this would have been so obvious to Thomas and those around him and yet it wasn't addressed at all as a controversy with the EXTREM...

Re: Jesus is God
Homer with the truth BOMB. Jesus called the Father's will "not my will." They are distinct and yet, at the same time, they are each other. Look at the traditional Trinity doctrine: the unity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead. If each of the three "persons" ...

Rev 20 as parenthetical
I have noticed Revelation 20:7 to 15 as parenthetical. So it interrupts the chronological connection of Rev 19 to 20:1-6 (roughly) and then to 21. So Rev 20:1-6 (apart from the details of the duration of the 1000 years and the mention of its end) occurs at about the same time as Rev 21. The reason t...

Re: Satan Released -- Bopp's Theory
I have known for a long time that we had been seeing much deception in America. This was not sufficient to match the deception of nations per Revelation 20 because America is only one of many nations. It was not until the middle of 2020 that I realized that all the nations could be on track on the s...

Re: Satan Released -- Bopp's Theory
During the siege of Jerusalem (prior to its reduction to rubble in 70 AD), it seems there was a swarm of demonic activity within its walls, and insanity ruled the doomed city. That probably isn't prophetic of America's death specifically. Rather, it may indicate somewhat of a pattern for any nation...

Re: Satan Released -- Bopp's Theory
Satan has been on earth since the fall. But he does seem to release waves of deception and sin. Gregg mentioned that Bopp was amil. So he would recognize that Satan was bound in AD70. I'm preterist on Revelation except for the end of the 1000 years era, which seems to be happening now. The events o...
