1901 | ... | Rev 6:8 | BradK | 208453 | ||
Hi John, Thanks for the scriptural references, but I still fail to see these as a direct answer that satan is the one referred to in Rev. 6:8! How did you arrive at your conclusion? BradK |

1902 | who are the 144,000 | Rev 7:3 | BradK | 72527 | ||
The problem with the number is that it is clearly symbolic, but the question is, Symbolic of what? Three major scholarly options have been given. The first is that this figure is symbolic of a group of Jews whom God will redeem at the end of the age. The second is that this is symbolic of a group of martyrs whom God preserves for martyrdom. The third is that this number is symbolic of the whole of the church, which God will protect through the tribulation at the end of the age. Only an examination of the data will show which of these is most likely to be correct. (Walter C. Kaiser, Hard Sayings of the Bible, Page 761 (Downers Grove, Il: InterVarsity, 1997, c1996).

1903 | Scriptural Support? | Rev 12:9 | BradK | 159762 | ||
Hi David, Your response sounds like Watchtower theology to me! How are you so sure that you're correct when you say, "This name can only be applied to Jesus."? Can you provide some Biblical support for this view? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1904 | Scriptural Support? | Rev 12:9 | BradK | 159763 | ||
Hi Bows, According to "The Kingdom of the Cults" in chapter 4 on the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, the opposite is stated. Dr. Walter Martin writes, "Charles Taze Russell was the founder of what is now Jehovah's Witnesses and the energetic administator that brought about its far-flung organization. The name Jehovah's Witnesses, incidentally, was taken at Columbus Ohio, in 1931, to differentiate between the Watchtower and the true followers of Russell..." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1905 | Scriptural Support? | Rev 12:9 | BradK | 159764 | ||
Forum: I should have checked the site first! However, it is called North Seattle Bible Students- actually just north of me. I've never heard of them, but in reading their rather weak defense against Russell, it appears they are more or less a splinter-group or an offshoot of the JW's. I wouldn't put much credibilty in their version of facts:-( Thanks for the reference though. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1906 | Scriptural Support? | Rev 12:9 | BradK | 159790 | ||
Hi Bows, Well, it doesn't help me:-( We can just drop it, but I'm still a bit unsettled about your alledged discrepancy with Doc. There seem to be some inaccuracies in your portrayal of the facts. Was the late Dr. Walter Martin in his definitive work, "The Kingdom of the Cults" merely promoting an agenda? Not to argue, but I'm puzzled as to why you took the time and effort to dispute the matter if it's not worth discussing? It's not absolutley crucial to argue, yet it goes to the entire basis of the Watchtower and their theology- deceit! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1907 | Scriptural Support? | Rev 12:9 | BradK | 159795 | ||
Hi David, Please, there is no need to be condescending! I'm not having trouble with any of the Bible verses:-) Since you are new to the Forum, it is not incumbant upon me to defend your contentions, but rather it is upon you to prove them with scriptural support and evidence! Seaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi Bows, I already did and I'm not surprised! BradK |

Hi forwwjd, What leads you to say that to Doc? BradK |

1910 | Scriptural Support? | Rev 12:9 | BradK | 159817 | ||
Hi forwwjd, You're assuming a lot! Simply questioning "where someone is coming from theologically" does not imply that an attack is the intended response! Your opinion is appreciated. However, you don't have to be demeaning in your implication- again- that because someone has an understanding of theology or apologetics that they don't love Jesus! Maybe you could more clearly explain what you mean by that? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1911 | Scriptural Support? | Rev 12:9 | BradK | 159828 | ||
forwwjd, Please accept my apologies! I welcome you to the Forum. I was not offended in any way, my friend, I was merely asking for clarification. You sufficiently answered me and I'm certainly not into either arguing or being pointless:-) If you like, feel free to check out my user profile to get to better aquaint yourself with me. You can post a little about yourself should you feel so lead:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1912 | Satan's flood. Want some info. | Rev 12:15 | BradK | 219585 | ||
Hello orivee, Welcome to the Forum! You stated, "Two of the biggest lies that Satan has foisted upon Christianity is the 'eternal torment of sinners' and 'the Trinity'. Neither of these teachings are biblical and are anathema to true godly worship." How so? Can you provide any biblical support for your view? How exactly do you define "true godly worship"? Are you a JW or do you hold to the teachings of the Watchtower Organization? BradK |

1913 | What Does 666 Mean? | Rev 13:18 | BradK | 152997 | ||
Hi patawa, I think Mark is on track here. I don't know what "gemotria" is, never heard of it. Why can't we just take the literal meaning of the text? That seems much simpler and is probably more in-line with Biblical interpretation principles. Would the writer (John) have had this in mind? Trying to "guess" what 666 (or any verse) says by using some sort of mathematical analysis seems a bit of a stretch. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1914 | reassurance of lambs book of life | Rev 20:15 | BradK | 118820 | ||
Emmy, If I may interject on a point:-) Read Romans 1 and tell me if that does not answer "Are you saying that one who has not heard the gospel cannot be saved?" Particularly, is the force of verse 19 and 20. If one does not come to a saving knowledge of God through "what may be known of God is evident among them", how would one be saved? ALL are under the condemnation of sin, and ALL are judged guilty before God (vs. 32). There is simply put, no Plan B! There is no partiality with God. Is God unjust who inflicts wrath? Certainly not! For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin. (Rom. 2:11,3:5,6,9) "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus." (Rom. 3:23-24) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1915 | psalms... judgement chapter 1 verse 5 | Rev 20:15 | BradK | 225670 | ||
Hi Ariel, IMO, eternal punishment is just that... eternal! Note Matt. 25:46, "These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."(NASB) Eternal life has the corrolary of eternal punishment. The noun 'punishment' (Gr. kolasin) is modified by the adj. "eternal" (Gr. aionion). Here "aionion" would appear to be used in the sense of "lifelong" or "enduring". As Hodge notes regarding Future Punishment: "Our Lord in his account of the final judgment says, that the wicked shall go away into everlasting punishment; but the righteous into life eternal." In fairness, there are varying views regarding what this future punishment and it's duration entail! Time doesn't permit me to elaborate... maybe later:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1916 | Jesus or Immanuel | Rev 21:3 | BradK | 164744 | ||
Hello Tryinghard, Welcome to the Forum. A quick note on a couple of items: 1. God is not "a" spirit as one of many, but "spirit"- John 4:24; 2. As far as I can tell, scripture doesn't directly call Jesus the "spirit of God". The Spirit of God acted through Him (Matt. 12:28) He became incarnate certainly, but He is distinguised as the 2nd member of the Godhead (rom. 8:11). More acurately, Jesus is the Son of God.

1918 | Is there any sickness in heaven? | Rev 21:4 | BradK | 115634 | ||
punkiedo, With all due respect, we've been down this tired and endless road before. Why do you persist if you "really don't want to get into a spat about this"? The logic does not follow, and empirical evidence alone along with scripture say otherwise. My dear sister, physical healing is not in any remote sense the ONLY provision of scripture nor does it comprise the ENTIRETY of Its' doctrines. Man says "we need to realize the power that WE have." The Bible teaches that, "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might." (Eph. 6:10) Our only POWER, is based upon our SUBMISSION to God, not usurpation of His Divine dunamis.

1919 | Is there any sickness in heaven? | Rev 21:4 | BradK | 115639 | ||
punkiedo, I will humbly and kindly bow out of this thread. It is not edifying nor beneficial to carry on. "Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
