2461 | Satan's flood. Want some info. | Rev 12:15 | stjohn | 219586 | ||
Dear Justme, I must confess, I read that post in haste and completely glossed over that grievous error! Good work! Thank you for your astute diligence in keeping SBF free from heterodoxical teaching. John |

2462 | As saints can we be exempt? | Rev 13:7 | stjohn | 189225 | ||
Dear M.Royal/M.Cowell; It is becoming more clear to us hear at SBF, and there have been many now that have tried to show you some polite protocol as to how we brethren are to treat one another and you choose to ignor the advice. Also, It has been pointed out to you that you have contradicted yourself on a few occasions and you seem to ignore that issue and fall back on [It is written] as if that would clear you of the charge. May I say that you should go back and study the whole Bible before you try to teach Revelation. One thing you have missed is the fact that one does not have to be in the Church to be a Saint. There are Old Testament Saints, that are NOT the same group as the Church, just as there will be Tribulation Saints that will NOT be the same group as the Church. Please stop, you are belaboring you point. We know, [I think] that is if you don't contradict yourself again, that you believe that the Church will suffer at the hands of the antichrist. Great!.. We get it! .. OK? .. You win! .. Now, will you please give it up? May I also suggest that 1 Corinthians 4:6 applies as a swinging door....... It goes both ways! God bless. John |

Hey Sister Val: I am soo with you on that one. When it comes to eschatology, I'm just resting in Him Sister. Not that I haven't studied it somewhat extensively. And I agree with Brother Lionheart, It's not that hard. I Just don't see my opinion as any more weighty then so many scolors that were, and scolors that are, that are so much smarter then me! Resting... John |

2469 | What Jesus meant Matt 10:23.16:28 26:64 | Rev 17:10 | stjohn | 204528 | ||
Dear Jamison: I think you are correct in presuming that a thousand is a thousand, in most cases, and in this case there is no reason to think otherwise. Remember too that John is relaying a vision to us, as it is given to him, and in his doing so he is not interpreting them, just giving it out as he literally sees it, sort of like watching a movie, Rev 1:10-11 and then telling what he saw by righting it down. We can assume that he is being literal. Whatever allegory is being used is being used by God: Can we presume that we know what God is thinking? Or that we know what John is thinking, as so many expositors like to do? You certainly can see the danger in that, I'm sure. There are some pretty wild interpretations out there! Just my two cents God bless John |

2470 | Who is this woman? | Rev 18:4 | stjohn | 186911 | ||
Hello Edwin, I would agree that the woman is a symbol of Rome, and the Roman Catholic Church. But more than that, it/She, is a symbol of the apostasy that is found in all the churches of the world today. I believe it was John Gill that said, and I am paraphrasing, "The day after the rapture, there will be Congregations that will not miss a single member." The Harlot, is a frightening picture of what is to come in the Great Tribulation. But even in that day, God will still be offering salvation. Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. And even beyond the apostolic church, She is a picture of the riches and lusts of the lost world. 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. I think v7 is an example of what Jesus points to in Chapter 3:17 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: And, this false Church, will deceive the rulers of the world. 18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, God bless.

2471 | Rapture | Rev 20:1 | stjohn | 214117 | ||
Dear sister, Val... Thank you for that post! For some time now, from my limited understanding of Scripture, I've held a view that the resurrection[s] could come in phases. I've told a few people about this, but have kind of kept it under my hat, because I thought it was maybe a little too far off from the norm of orthodoxy and had not really put all the dots together to form a solid opinion. I'll for sure look at the link! I'm happy to hear that I'm not alone in this belief. Thanks again, Val. :-) John |

2472 | Rapture | Rev 20:1 | stjohn | 214128 | ||
Hi MJH You know, friend, I've thought about that too. And for the very same reasons, I agree with you. I think it was an old Calvinist preacher by the name of J. Vernon Mcgee who first brought that to my attention. I still listen to him on the radio or MP3 from time-to-time, and it's like hearing the kindly voice of an old friend. It will be nice to meet him, some golden day. John |
||||||
2473 | Rapture | Rev 20:1 | stjohn | 214135 | ||
Hi Val, Well, I heard Mcgee say it himself... One day, while I was listing; whether it was his daily Bible study or the once a week Q and A, I don't remember which, he said: "In case you haven't noticed yet, I'm a Calvinist." I think we'd be okay to take that as pretty solid evidence. I think one would find, too, if listened to, or read carefully, his doctrine reflects it. John |
||||||
2474 | Rapture | Rev 20:1 | stjohn | 214196 | ||
Hi Val Well, :-) that would be a very tall order! I have about 700 MP3 files on McGee, not to mention many commentaries and short articles, and I surly don't remember where or when he said that. But I'm sure he did. Sorry, Val, but it would take quite some time to find it. John |

2475 | Rapture | Rev 20:1 | stjohn | 214206 | ||
Amen brother, Jeff, the man didn't like hanging denominational labels on himself, or anyone else for that matter. If memory serves, he did qualify the statement (which I'm sure he said) with that very sentiment. And he often said he didn't like to hang those kind of labels on anyone. But as far as doctrine he did go along with Calvinistic doctrine. Not "Hyper" Calvinism, by the way, as so many unfortunately think is what Calvinists really are all about. And I agree with you, I think he was one of the finest theologians of the last century, and a wonderful, faithful expositor of God's holy Word. He had a no nonsense, common sense, easy to understand approach to teaching the Bible, thats for sure! :-) John |

2477 | unyielding divine holiness | Rev 20:10 | stjohn | 199023 | ||
"It is the fact of unyielding divine holiness which demands either the retribution of the sinner or the death of Christ in his room and stead. God is love, and that love is demonstrated by the gift of the Son that men might be saved; but love and mercy did not circumvent the demands of holiness to save the sinner: they paid its every demand. The conclusion of the matter is that God, because of His holiness, cannot save the lost unless His holy demands are met for the sinner, as they are met in the death of Christ; and to be unsaved, or outside the grace of God as it is in Christ, is to be destined to eternal retribution. God can do no more than to provide a perfect salvation, which is provided at infinite cost. When love will pay such a price that a sinner may be saved and holiness remain untarnished, it ill becomes finite men to tamper with these immutable realities. Those who resent the idea of eternal retribution are, in fact, resenting divine holiness. However, the message of God's grace to sinful men is not merely a proclamation of eternal condemnation; it is rather that the chief of sinners may be saved through the Savior that infinite love has provided."-- Don Hewey |

2478 | End of God's wrath? | Rev 20:10 | stjohn | 199364 | ||
Hi wippie, Welcome! Read the verse above, It appears that "never" could be the answer. God bless John |
||||||
2479 | End of God's wrath? | Rev 20:10 | stjohn | 199368 | ||
Amen, If we read the next chapter 21:1-6 I think we can see that. I also believe that His wrath is withheld from His children from the moment they/we believe. However that does not mean that every-thing's going to be okeydoekey all the time, or even some of the time for that mater. Just look at how christians are being treated in other countries, where they are being hacked to death with machetes! 1 Pet 4:12 "Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you;" 1 John 3:13 "Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you." Of corse, discipline and persecution are not the same at all, but certainly both are a part of the believers walk. Heb 12:8 "But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons." I'm glad I'm a son! :-) How about you? God bless John |

2480 | psalms... judgement chapter 1 verse 5 | Rev 20:15 | stjohn | 225669 | ||
Excuse me Ariel... I'm sorry But, the word just before destruction is everlasting. Now I'm not claiming to be an expert, but I think 'everlasting' means everlasting. So can you please give me some reasonable explanation, or even better, some other scripture that would give support for your conclusion that there is an end to it? Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd have to strongly differ, since to my knowledge, Scripture is pretty clear that hell, or the lake of fire, or destruction, or whatever else orthodoxy calls it, it is indeed everlasting, eternal punishment. -John p.s. I did note your question marks, so I'm assuming that you expected to be challenged. |
