Thanks for sharing your thoughts and perspective. I don’t think there is much point in continuing to discuss this, though. I do not consider any writings of Baha’u’llah to be valid or truth.
My hope and trust is in Jesus Christ alone and His Word, the biblical scriptures.
Yes, I agree. There were promises in the Bible for for the return of Christ but I don't believe that the following verses were a promise to return to earth, as I already explained..
John 14:2-3 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a...
I think the promise Jesus made to come again and receive His followers to Himself was not only for the disciples He spoke to at that time, but to all believers since then. That is why we have the Bible, God’s Word preserved through the centuries. According to the scriptures, when Jesus comes to...
"Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man." Luke 17:26
What else could "Days of Son of man" mean, other than the time when Christ comes and stays on earth for the second time?
The way I see it, is, Scriptures is giving signs to recognize the true...
I cannot find any specific verse reference to the “Days of the Son of Man”. Do you have one in mind?
I do think the Day of Christ referred to in the scriptures is the removal of the believers/church from the earth. This is followed by the Day of the Lord, the Tribulation Period of judgment upon...
Genesis 1:
"And God said, 'Let the land produce living creature'."
Where does the Bible say that?
Are you sure that this is the best translation? As far as i know you are wrong here
Leviticus 19:
Ye shall keep My statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind; thou...
So God is limited to what he can do? He is stuck in heaven, unable to leave? Can only send down his son and messengers?
But the issue is not what God can or cannot do or which way Jesus comes back - the question is if God does decide to come,
what form will he take?
Will he have to take a...
Huh? How can God come to Earth when the heavens of heavens can't contain God -> 1st Kings 8:27
God answers to His name YHWH, and Jesus answers to his own name.
Even Jesus will Not come back to Earth is a physical way - John 14:19 - the world will see Jesus No more.
So, Jesus' coming is with...
Hoooooold On there fellah -- let us not be making stuff up out of the blue and attributing it to poor Ha Satan ?? . Ha Satan of Job is never is claimed nor proved to be a liar ... nor does Jesus prove he is a liar .. or claim Ha Satan is a Liar when undergoing his ritual testing .. after...
Seems to me the " Tester of Souls" is the 'god' of this world of badness - 2nd Corinthians 4:4 aka HaSatan.
Notice in the book of Job (Job 2:4-5) that HaSatan challenges the man Job and thus all of us.
"Touch our flesh....." ( loose physical health ) and we would Not serve the God of the Bible...
Yes, asking God for truth and guidance is best, and best as found in God's Word/ Scripture.
To me Jesus knew what the future holds because Jesus said the meek will inherit the Earth - Matt.5:5; Psalms 37:9-11; 22:26
That future will start with the coming 'final signal', so to speak as found at...
That's great. And it turns out he was from a different village in rural Roman Judea, then great. But none of this has anything to do with my points, this is simply interesting historical trivia.
1. Its the same passage that is continually being contested. The question being what the original...
Fictive tales are studded with facts. Again quoting Wikipedia:
In Matthew 2:23, the return to Nazareth is said to be a fulfilment of the prophetic word, "He shall be called a Nazarene". It is not clear which Old Testament verse Matthew might have had in mind; many commentators suggest it is...
I find false clergy often are political tools especially during war times.
They have used the pulpit as a recruiting station so parents will sacrifice their sons on the Altar of War as if that is the same as the Altar of God which it is not.
What Jesus prophesied about is Not a political tool...
I don't believe that. Why would I? The argument for resurrection is that some people say that some other people saw Jesus when he was supposedly dead, and that when a rock was rolled away, there was no body to be seen. There would need to be a suspension f the laws of nature to revivify a body...
Within Judaism, here's a list that many to most observant Jews tend to believe are Messianic:
The Sanhedrin will be re-established (Isaiah 1:26)
Once he is King, leaders of other nations will look to him for guidance (Isaiah 2:4)
The whole world will worship the One God of Israel (Isaiah...
The "son of man" come "immediately after" the "tribulation" (Mt 24:29) which is the "day of the LORD" (Joel 2:31-32), a time of the valley of judgment for the nations/Gentiles (Joel 3:2-8), which comes at the "end of the age" (Mt 13:30), after the "tares", the sons of lawlessness, are "first"...
As far as rulership of Earth: we are at the HUGE political statue's feet - Daniel 2:44
Perhaps more like being at the statue's toes or even its toe nails !
So, No other rulership over Earth will come until the time of Isaiah11:3-4; Revelation 19:14-15
This is why heavenly Jesus comes with...
And there shall come forth a rod (חוטר) out of the stem (גזע) of Jesse.
Isaiah11:1.
The image of Rabbi Hirsch's menorah/cross uses Isaiah's "stem" (גזע) as the foundation that the rod (חוטר) grows out of (see image above). Isaiah goes on to say the "spirit" (רוח) of the Lord shall rest upon...
