341 | Middle East and America in Prophesy | Rev 12:14 | Pastor Glenn | 63249 | ||
justme, Daniel 12 sounds interesting: Dan 12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? Dan 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Dan 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. Even the great prophet Daniel wanted to know more. God Bless, Pastor Glenn |

Hank, Thanks for your well rounded response. You said, "Genetic engineering, even human cloning, looms ever nearer on the horizon, and I believe it (parts of it at least; I would exclude human cloning) like nuclear energy, has at least an equal potential for good as for evil. While I would never promote the idea that the Christian should take the ostrich approach to human problems, hiding his head in the sand and hoping a weak hope that somehow the problem will either solve itself or go away, neither would I promote the idea that Christians must become activists to the extent of taking matters into their own hands. We must surrender first and foremost to the sovereign Lord. It is He, not we, who is in charge. We can be instruments for change in the world, but we must be His instruments. We must seek His will through much prayer.." I agree that genetic engineering has potential for good, as well as, for evil. Human cloning is not really new; as it is already, it is called identical twins. Identical twins have the exact same DNA, but their fingerprints are always slightly different. The "Tower of Babel" mentality is what I think that offends God, in that it says proudly that "We will go to heaven, whether God wants us to or not!". To build a great tower was not the problem, it was the disregard for the one true God. It is this disregard for God that is more dangerous than the atomic bomb because it is like daring God to stop them. I believe that God brings special judgement against nations, not just "The great Tribulation", but judgements of the order of what Jonah preached to against Ninevah: Total distruction of their entire city! It is not so much the technology of man that bothers me, as I work in high technology as an Electronics Engineer, but it is God's judgement against sin. By the way, Romans 8 is also one of my favorite scriptures. God Bless, Pastor Glenn |

343 | Should Christians remain silent on these | Rev 17:5 | Pastor Glenn | 64606 | ||
Emmaus, I like how you said, "...scripture can give the proper frame of reference for determining the morality of various actions. " I feel that we should examine the scriptures, pray, and then take a stand for or against: James 1 5If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. God bless, Pastor Glenn |

John and Makarios, You ask:"How would it profit the furtherence of the Kingdom of God? " The real question is how would it profit the furtherence of the kindom of God by using personal attacks, intimidation, and control the way John did to EdB? The rules of this forum: "...For the teacher and scholar, it's an opportunity to freely share your knowledge. The StudyBibleForum.com is built from the "Bible" up. A synergetic resource built to enhance and deepen your study of God's Word. ..."

Very well said EdB, I understand the concern of many Christians that dogmatic speculations can be bad for the spread of the Gospel. But it is also bad to ignore prophecy for fear of being wrong. We may be wrong about how we match up current events to scripture. But the scriptures are never wrong. Everything that was written will happen, no matter how often we interpret things wrong. You mention a number of very interesting observations of your own. Scripture indicates that a world wide monetary system and a world wide government will be ready for the Antichrist to assume command in the end. But Christ will take it all back! Praise God. Dan 2:44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. God Bless, Pastor Glenn |

2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; Apparently this scripture is wrong. It should say "...all scripture 'except prophecy' is profitable for teaching..." Maybe this is bad advice too: Acts 5:38 "So in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or action is of men, it will be overthrown; Acts 5:39 but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or else you may even be found fighting against God."

Hank, Why was prophecy written? I understand the concern of many Christians that dogmatic speculations can be bad for the spread of the Gospel. But it is also bad to ignore prophecy for fear of being wrong. We may be wrong about how we match up current events to scripture. But the scriptures are never wrong. Everything that was written will happen. You seem to be saying "dogmatic or not just stay away from prophecy". 2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; Apparently this scripture is wrong. It should say "...all scripture 'except prophecy' is profitable for teaching..." Maybe this is bad advice too: Acts 5:38 "So in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or action is of men, it will be overthrown; Acts 5:39 but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or else you may even be found fighting against God."

Very well said Debbie, However, about Hitler; Hitler and everyone like him in history matches up well to the following scripture (the dragon): Rev 12:17 So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. Bless You, Pastor Glenn |

354 | "beheading" in modern times? | Rev 20:4 | Pastor Glenn | 124776 | ||
Justme, I now pray for your healing as in James 5: 13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. 17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. 18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit. I cannot lay hands while praying, but I trust many others on this forum will also pray for you tonight that God will bring healing tonight. May God bless you richly, Pastor Glenn |

Hank, I also like Jesus' words in Mat 24 as He said "...See that you are not troubled...": 6And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. He then tells us more: 7For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences,[2] and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9"Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake. 10And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. I think that emphasis needs to go on verse 13: 13But he who endures to the end shall be saved. As a nation, I think we really need to repent beginning in our churches where adultery is tolerated, homosexuallity is accepted, and devorce is rampant, to name a few. Pastor Glenn |

357 | Release and Faith Question | Rev 22:18 | Pastor Glenn | 91364 | ||
Radioman, The article fails to deal with the key verse, Heb 11:3. It claims that: "'Copeland derives his definition of faith from Hebrews 11:1: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (KJV). ..." "God did frame the worlds and all things by faith and His Word. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. " This teaching comes mostly by a misunderstanding of this verse. "Through faith 'we' understand...". By our faith we understand, rather than, "by God's faith He framed the worlds". Pastor Glenn |

358 | Release and Faith Question | Rev 22:18 | Pastor Glenn | 91406 | ||
"Whether such Scripture twisting is done deliberately or in ignorance, it is still Scripture twisting." I respectfully disagree. I see "Twisting" as a purposeful act. I must admit that I was also confused about this verse until I prayed about it after reading posts from both yourself and Graceful. May God help us all to better understand His word, as well as, each other's point of view. Remember that demonstrated love is all about doing unto others as we would have them do unto us. So, it helps to try to understand why a person believes the way they do. I want others to really see why I believe what I believe, then they can better correct me at the heart of the matter.
