Gates are defensive. "The gates of hell not prevailing against the Church" does not mean the Church is under attack from hell - it means hell is under attack through the Church.
The defensive...
Listen you guys,
America has brought many GREAT things to the world: Walt Disney, "The Sound of Music" and other really good kiddies-classics, "The Brady Bunch" (I'm going too far back for most...
I haven't read all the answers to this OP in this thread yet, because the thread is kinda long, but I wonder if anyone hasn't asked if the outward sign of an inward change isn't "... love, joy,...
South Africa.
Answers to your questions:
No, no and no.
Err... oh, wait a minute.... The Southern hemisphere has never featured in any Bible prophecies? :)
Well, what you said about the things below sound plausible and have a ring of truth to them:
And I heard a voice from Heaven saying to me, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now...

I dunno. You read the following and decide on eisegesis/exegesis ;):
We will find quite a few scriptures where the sun and the moon symbolize things:
“I will not break My covenant, nor...
Let me answer from my own personal experiience:
God had to first quicken my heart so that I could "hear His voice", and once He had done this, then I could choose (will) to drink of the water of...
No. Those that are lost are lost because they do not choose (will) to freely receive (accept) the free gift in the day God makes it possible for them to believe and repent:

Whew! This is going to be a lot of reviewing, from what you've listed below!
I agree that the Revelation isn't written in a strictly chronological sequence/order of events; and I agree that there...
That's right. "The (human) heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?" (Jer.17: 9).
It's not possible for man to (a) come to faith in Christ; and (b) choose...
No. There are two different words: "wills" (Greek: thelo); and "freely" (Greek: dorean). The first word refers to choosing/choice, but the seond word refers to a gift - something that is without...
One of the problems I have with the two witnesses being 2 individuals is that the Revelation links the second "woe" to 2 things:
1 The sixth trumpet (myrriad "horsemen being sent out to kill 1/3...
:hmm: I've come to the point where I can maintain my position which is produced by my understanding of the scriptures (and therefore come across as dogmatic), and yet I'm still open-minded enough to...

One Messiah, Two Comings, Cyberseeker. It is finished, but it's not yet done:

Peter and Paul were Jews who thought with Hebrew mindsets. A large part of the Gentile churches chooses to ignore that fact when interpreting a Jewish book written by Jews (the Bible).
"The Day...
As a pre-millennialist, I agree that in 2Peter chapter 3, there is no sign in the mind of Peter of a thousand years between the second coming of Christ (on hand) and the burning up of the present...
Some posts in this thread seem to me to be less of examples of brothers disagreeing, and more examples of brothers grumbling against one another.

You're right - and I had in mind certain things that were said in an arrogant way by a certain person in another thread (it wasn't you). I'm Sorry I said what I said here in your thread - it's just...
