Not at all, the Book isn't a sure fire way for everybody that is exposed to it becomes a believer. What it does say is, 'if you are a Gentile you are destined to be gathered to God before the lake of fire is the only other option' is how the plot goes.
If you die before you believe in God you...
Once God and Adam were in the Ge:2 version of creation a mist was allowed in to water the land. If the Garden is restored in the 1,000 year reign the the Jordan River should like it does in Eze:47. From the size of the river we could even determine the rainfall (or mist) that fell on the area...

Not at all, How do you think Jeremiah traveled around the globe to deliver a message to the nations in Jeremiah:25. Even the start of Bethlehem would have been a light as small as a handheld flashlight since it...
Saul was a Pries when Stephen was killed a few years after the cross. If Saul was close to being the one in charge then he would also have been a 'seasoned' Priest also. That does not eliminate Saul from being part of the crowd in Matthew:23.
Really?? I would think that two reasonable people reading the same text would come to the same conclusion. Try these examples, use the text in Ge:1 as the basis for a theory that fits the old earth version that I tend to like and run it past a believer and a scientist, would they both be able...
The verses below show that to be the opposite of what the text says. The one from from the Gospel of John can be argued to mean John the Baptist rather John the Apostle. The names of the other three Gospels are most likely the names of the Scribes who copied the original documents as that would...
At some point the various points in the prophecies will begin to mesh in a way that is not possible with human writers Re:17 meshes very nicely with the vision and explanation from Da:7. A vision and explanation that is not clear, we have the opportunity to pit together what was with-held from...
The God of Abraham would have had the stories about God going back to Adam. When Moses related the stories any errors would have been 'corrected' just like any errors would have been corrected when the Torah went from an oral book to being a written book.
Without allowances for corrections the...
That isn't the case at all and the references below are some of the better ones that points to Mary being the Beloved Disciple (of John the Baptist)
Joh:11:5:
Now Jesus loved Martha,
and her sister,
and Lazarus.
Lu:10:39-42:
And she had a sister called Mary,
which also sat at Jesus' feet,
and...
God obviously knows what the 'latter day generation' is doing and not doing as it was written about long ago. This generation is the first one that allows a reader to study the Bible compared to reading it or just hearing about it. Using an e-bible is the only way an in-depth study can happen...
My point is that traditional thinking has it so our generation is tasked with trying to figure out what the Scribes were thinking about in their day. Revelations was in print by 100AD yet it is 1900 years later that readers are still arguing about what the various passages mean. The audience...
If you want to add importance and dept to the cross then allow it to be the completion of the bruise to the heel from Ge:3:15. Marking the 1/2 way point must have some importance. Having the bruise be manifest as Jesus going to the grave also has a lot of meaning to what happens during the...
A few years ago it would have been less but today I see it as the best chance I have in explaining my version in the areas it differs from other. Today I can't see anybody not being able to see Re:12 being an expansion on that single verse. With the material in that single chapter we are led to...
I just meant that verse was not connected to the time of Saul's conversion rather than Paul was not the writer of Hebrews. It isn't as specified as it is in other places so in that respect it could also be the Beloved Disciple and that would leave only one person to glimpse the 3rd heaven. That...
The sermon was only to the temple staff and it was at Passover so it is quite possible that Saul was in town. That group is a remnant of the temple staff that caused God to send in Neb and take them into exile in Babylon. They are also the ones being front and center as far as who was to not be...
There is nothing to say that Saul wasn't in the group that the Matthew:23 sermon was directed at. There are 4 accounts in the Gospels, how could Saul testify to something he was not a witness to. Having a 5th witness would convince more than 4 witnesses will. A lot of the condemnation on Paul is...
The one thing they have in common is they believe in 'the one true God' from the OT. Job's view would be closer to what the Quran covers. The Bible is a divine book because the writings are by 40 different scribes over 100's of years and the message is available in plain language in the 21st...
Salvation is a process. Glorification is the dividing line. Christ and the OT Saints have been glorified. He will gather more at His coming and the rest will be gathered by God at the Great White Throne. Together they will make up the seed bank for the people that are around for start of the new...
Let's go back a bit, on the morning when Jesus was resurrected some OT saints were also resurrected. There is a statement by Jesus that He had to ascend to God in Heaven to be glorified. He was able to baptize later that night. The 24 Elders would have had to be in place by the transition in...
