Hi EdB, I guess that did come across kind of strong, sorry about that but the way you took it isn’t exactly what I meant! You stated, “Your right this is the Antichrist but it is still God’s vengeance allowing the Antichrist to afflict a world controlled by sin.” I don’t see it as God’s vengeance. Now how do we go about proving our points? Is God’s wrath evil or Good, from what you are affirming, with connection to this period of time in question? Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. If this period, call the tribulation, is from God then is the great flood that destroyed the earth, which was an act of God, not taken into consideration? I am saying that it will be the greatest attack of satanic effect and influence that believers will ever see and it is not the vengeance of God because believers will not suffer God's wrath. The next thing that usually comes up is that Christ was only talking to the Jews, but what about the same thing taught in II Thes buy Paul to the church. 2 Thes. 2:3-5 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? If believers aren’t going to be here for this evil action why does Paul waste his breath teaching it and telling us not to let anyone deceive us?? I know you and Tim have many people that you have quoted from and they also use to say that 150,000 thousand Frenchmen couldn’t be wrong too, but they were! Next, CDBJ |

Hi EdB, Using your school of thought then, I guess you could say that all of the sin in the world is God's sin also because he let it happen? NOT!! I have to disagree, CDBJ |

Hi EdB, Check out the following in the NLT, it isn't even close to conveying what the Greek says. Luke 21:22 NLT For those will be days of God's vengeance, and the prophetic words of the Scriptures will be fulfilled. Nowhere in that verse, in the Koine Greek, is the word Theos , or God, used. The reign and rule of the antichrist is predicted in Scripture and I think that is the period of time referred to in Luke 21:22. In my estimation the exact opposite is in view in this verse and I think it parallels Rev. 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. I think that these verses, in Luke, are warning to believers of the terrible times that will be taking place at the hand of antichrist. If that is the case the translation could have been written as follows. For these be the days of the devils vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. Can you see what I am trying to say? The translators of the NLT in this incidence are trying to introduce their concept instead of conveying what the Koine Greek actually said! 1 Thes. 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. My two cents worth, CDBJ |

Hi TommyS, The translation that Taleb used is one that is used quit a lot now days, I call it the Koine English, and it is known as the NLT or New Living Translation. It is very enjoyable for just reading but it’s accuracy lacks in my opinion. It is used to reach a lot of young people though and it seems to be real effective. CCBJ |

Hi Hank, I love the old KJV but what you are saying is absolutely right. There are just some old dogs like me that have a hard time jumping through some of the new hoops. We are truly blessed with all the translations that are available. The problem with me is that I have memorized all the Scripture that I know from the KJV. I have a difficult time finding a particular verse in a NIV concordance because I’m not exactly sure how the verse goes. I have to find it first in the KJV then look it up in the NIV and the rest of the translations and lastly the Greek. You will notice many times though, when trying to explain something, if it is clearer, that I will use other translations. If the final results would bring a person to a saving faith in Christ I would use anything that is readable. It appears to me sometimes that the NIV changes things just to be different as though they are showing opposition to the KJV and that I have a hard time excepting. When I witness to someone or hold a Bible study I have to use my old KJV because I have it so marked up that I would be like a fish out of water using anything else. Maybe that isn't right but it's just me. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hi New Creature, No translation was here before 1965 as far as I was concerned!! I was just having a little fun. Actually I was saved while reading my wife’s Bible, which was a Douay Reims version. The Lord saved me when I believed what God’s Word was telling me about His Son Jesus. I then proceeded to Bible whip my wife to death, or should I say to life, for about two months, because I had found out the truth about eternal life. She finally put, as it were, all of her eggs of faith in one basket and realized that Jesus was enough, that Jesus was all she really needed; PRAISE the Lord, He opened her eyes in an instant and God's Word came alive to her also! When I was a new Christian all I could think about was using the beautiful new sword that had been given to me, Ephes. 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: I probably muddied up more water then the Mississippi but boy I sure knew what I had found in Christ and I wanted everyone to have it. When I finally purchased a KJV version it was just like putting the icing on a cake, and I still love it’s old English style although I do use many versions to elaborate on meaning along with the Koine Greek. Isn’t the Lord just precious, CDBJ |

Hi Ken John, We use the NIV in our church and I really don’t like it. I have memorized all the Scripture that I know from the KJV. There are many other translations that I use while studying but as with many I like the roaring diction of the old KJV; it must be the English in me? Here is something you might want to check out. http://www.bible.org/docs/soapbox/conspire.htm Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hi Ken John, I agree with you, and anyhow, if the KJV was good enough for the apostle Paul it's good enough for us, right? CDBJ |

Hi Rowdy, Is better safe then sorry the same as saying, better alive then dead; If that's the case I would say that that would be rather obvious and I don't think that you will get any objection from the other camp! CDBJ |

That sounds like a great idea. It's always interesting to see how the Lord has been working in people's lives. 2 Cor. 3:3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. Gave a great day, CDBJ |

There is something that is missing in the church that I attend now and as a result it seems like a direct violation of Scripture. The First church that I attended, after I was saved, always made time to hear testimony from those that had put their faith and trust in the finish works of the Lord Jesus. Psalm 107:1-2 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 2Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; Psalm 40:9-10 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. 10I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation. I think this should be a vital part of any churches worship service. Psalm 34:3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. Psalm 96:2 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day. Psalm 105:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. Psalm 107:31-32 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 32Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. Psalm 111:1 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. I truly miss this function, CDBJ |

Hello Tara1, You are using II Thes. 2:3 as your reference; please keep your thesis in context. Look what it say before and after that verse. 2 Thes. 2:1-6 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. The main subject is the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together unto him. So since you used this verse, II Thes. 2:3, may I ask, is Jesus Christ your Lord and do you think that Jesus is in fact God and if not how could you explain the following? Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. John 10:30 I and my Father are one. Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: Who do you suppose God was talking with? One God in three persons. Acts 26:13-15 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me. 14And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 15And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. I am sure that you believe that all will stand before God someday for judgment? Notice the following. John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: Believe what God is trying to tell you, CDBJ |

Hi mommapbs, Whenever I see certain words they trigger thoughts of Scripture in my memory and here is what the words “More Ready” triggered. 1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Whenever I talk to someone I am always looking for a key and a way that I might be able to introduce Jesus into the conversation. Many times we have to win the opportunity to witness to a person about Christ. Just to blurt out, HAY ARE YOU SAVED is a real turnoff to most people and all it does is muddy up the water to where people won’t listen to what you have to say. We can learn a lesson from the enemy. 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: We can be sober and be vigilant and move about as a lamb seeking whom we my release from bondage. Matthew 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. The message of our wonderful Savior is the key that looses those that are held captive. 2 Tim. 2:23-26 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 24And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Emmaus, It is a strange thing, being a new creature in Christ. It absolutely blows my mind how I can wake up EVERY morning and be thinking about the Lord and what He has done for me. It isn’t a self-generated experience but something that just comes out from within me when I am hardly awake. 1 John 5:10 (A) He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! Psalm 103:1 A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. CDBJ |

Hi New Creature, A.W. Tozer’s final resting place is only about two miles from where I live, and I am familiar with some of his works. The writings from some of the dear old saints, who have gone home, are very precious. CDBJ |
