1 | Isn't every word of God vital to us? | Rev 17:16 | John Reformed | 59650 | ||
Dear Pastor Glenn, " Was it "speculation" that allowed the wise men to recognize Jesus' star at His birth? Or wasit a deep analysis of every word of the Hebrew scriptures(the Old Testament)." God has not revealed to us every thing we would like to know, only that which we need to know. When we depart from scripture, we enter into speculation. Speculation in itself is can be a dangerous exercise. It can lead to the sinful practice of reading the scripture in the "light" of man's wisdom. 1 Cor 3:19 "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, 'He is THE ONE WHO CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR CRAFTINESS';" When all is said and don Pastor Glenn, from whom do we recieve our worldly news from? We recieve from the world! They are the one's who take the pictures, write the stories, provide the commentary, and as we know , spin it however they want. Brother John |

2 | Does this mean that it is wrong to ask? | Rev 17:16 | Pastor Glenn | 59748 | ||
Brother John, You said:"Speculation in itself is can be a dangerous exercise. It can lead to the sinful practice of reading the scripture in the "light" of man's wisdom." Does this mean that it is wrong to ask the question as to whether Al-Qaeda or others that hate the Lamb (Christianity and Israel) and the Harlot that rides the beast could be part of Rev 17? It is true that God has not revealed everything we would like to know: Revelation 10:4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. 1Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. However, we already know that the spirit of antichrist is with everyone that denies that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh: 1John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 2John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. If there is something wrong with comparing todays events to Revelation scripture then why were these prophesies written? Some things were sealed and not written while others were written. Why? "...spin it however they want." Huh? Who really was it that held the Christian Missionaries hostage in Afganistan last year? And who really destroyed the twin towers in New York? Or did these things really happen? Pastor Glenn |

3 | Does this mean that it is wrong to ask? | Rev 17:16 | Makarios | 59784 | ||
Greetings Pastor Glenn, Any answer on this matter, one way or another, could not possibly be supported conclusively by chapter and verse, without first taking a "leap in logic" and interpreting the Scriptures very liberally.. You will not find the answers to such questions here, and there is no room under this Forum's guidelines for speculation such as this. Blessings to you, Makarios |
