1 | ___-trib satisfactory? | Revelation | Bobbie Faye | 17352 | ||
Listener, Sorry for the typo in regards to I Thess. I meant to say that Paul says that Jesus says ,himself, that we will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. This scripture confirms what Jesus was saying in Matthew 24. Bobbie Faye |

2 | ___-trib satisfactory? | Revelation | Bobbie Faye | 17342 | ||
Listener, I have studied this subject at quite some length and will give you my opinion. I would like to receive your comments. First of all I believe that the Revelation is a God inspired book. I believe that it was written to the first century Christians to give them encouragement and assurance of their victory in Christ, as they were facing horrendous persecution.The very first paragraph of Revelation tells who the letter is written to and the purpose of the writing. Two places in this paragraph say that these things will take place soon. Although this book is mostly written in figurative language, the figurative language has not yet begun. I believe that this is literal. Also at the end of the book in chapter 22, beginning in verse 6, the vision is complete. The figurative language has ceased and the angel of the Lord has an additional message: He says that these things will take place soon. In verse 7 He says He is coming soon. In verses 10-11, John is told not to seal up these books of prophecy because they are going to happen soon. Prophets of the past were told to seal up their prophecies because these revealed things were not yet to take place. (Isa. 8:16; Daniel 8:26; 9:24; 12:4) John is told not to seal because the events are to come soon. Read Rev. 22:18-19. Here we have an admonition not to add to or take away from the words of this prophecy. Many people will agree that this book is figurative and then take the thousand years in chapter 20 and make them literal. I believe that many are in danger of the judgement announced in these two verses because they sure do add a lot to what is being said in these verses. I believe that the over-all message to the Christian in the first century and to us today from the book of Revelation is that in the face of persecution or whatever the prince of the air may use to try and defeat us, we are victors in Christ Jesus. I think we can have our own private interpretation as to what we think some of these things mean, but if we teach them to others and ridicule others because they do not see these things as we do, we will be in danger of losing our share in the tree of life in that holy city. I have more to say about the Rapture,but I will post another note. God Bless. Bobbie Faye |

3 | fallen angels called Nephlims and unicor | Bible general Archive 1 | Bobbie Faye | 15913 | ||
Church, The bible does not refer to the Nephilim as fallen angels. It does say that they were very large men....giants. Genesis 6:4 and Numbers 13:33 describe them. As for your question about the unicorn: In Psalms 92:10 the psalmist refers to "my horn like that of a wild ox". The wild ox in this verse and some others in the bible such as Psalm 22:21, has been translated "unicorn" in some versions of the bible. Bobbie Faye |

4 | Jesus is the high priest | Hebrews | Bobbie Faye | 15899 | ||
The priests from the tribe of Levi were appointed priests under the Law of Moses or the old Law. Jesus was a priest in the order or Melchizedek (Hebrews 5:1-10) Melchizedek's profile is found in Genesis 16. His position is described in Hebrews 7th chapter. Bobbie Faye |

5 | What proof? | Gen 1:1 | Bobbie Faye | 15370 | ||
Ray, I understand that you just want to talk about suppositions and assumptions. What I don't understand is the point of doing so. If we are going to study the Bible (which, by the way is the purpose for this forum) such questions add nothing to our knowledge. There is nothing in the Bible or elsewhere that would lead to a conclusion. It is a mute point. Why persue it? I am not trying to cut you off or be a snob or anything like that. I just do not understand why you would persist in this line of reasoning? I believe that this is what Nolan was trying to say also. I don't believe in taking anything in blind faith. My beliefs are grounded on the word of God and the evidences of His power and authority. You cannot point to someone else and say they are basing their belief on assumption, when by insisting on this line of thinking, you are, yourself, having to assume that they are wrong. You see, there is just no point in it. I welcome your discussion. Bobbie Faye |

8 | Can Satan know our thoughts? | Rom 12:2 | Bobbie Faye | 15061 | ||
God is all knowing. He knows our thoughts. Satan is a created being just as we are. Angels do not have the ability to read minds of humans. satan does have the power to attack our minds and to inject evil thoughts or tempting thoughts into our minds. I Chronicles 21 tells the story of how satan placed deceptive thoughts in David's mind and David had a census taken. David was a man of God. He trusted completely in God, but for the moment he had thoughts of doubt introduced to him by satan. As Christians we have the mind of Christ. I Corinthians 16. This does not mean that we cannot be influenced by satan, but we have the power, in Christ to overcome him. II Corinthians 10:4-5 We can take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
