@TomBuck "The congregation can sing without instruments or vocalists.
You can pray, read Scripture, and preach the Word."
Yes!
That's what we do every week and it's great.
@5Solas Totally disagree.
That being said, I'm curious: Do you think your view of the Antichrist is consistent with the 1689?
Asking since you have 1689 in your bio.
I'm not throwing stones. I love the 1689 myself, but I have a preterist view of the antichrist.
@Exodus15_11@mdvirgilio You should take the Bible more literally. When Revelation was written, the things in it were about to take place:
"things which must shortly come to pass"
"the time is at hand"
"Surely I come quickly"
"things which must shortly be done"
@mdvirgilio@OneMustFearGod It's one of the most misunderstood things among Christians due to preconceived ideas. But one of the clearest things once you start to see it.
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. (Matthew 24:34)
@mdvirgilio Absolutely
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end... (Daniel 12:4a)
And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. (Revelation 22:10)
@a_bigailnichols Please tell me this is satire.
The right needs to restore a love of truth and beauty, not chase coolness trends decades late.
God made you. Be part of something greater than yourself. You don't need to mark up your skin to be who you are meant to be.
@TexasPreacher I love worshipping and resting on the Lord's Day.
But what is the Biblical basis for applying the Sabbath law to the New Covenant? I don't see anywhere that the gentile converts were taught to keep a Sabbath law (7th or 1st day).
My question is asked sincerely.
An acquaintance of mine intentionally left a small amount of bitcoin in a ColdCard MK4 RNG created seed phrase (that was originally a "duress" wallet) to see when it might get swept. Last night it got swept to bc1qzm5pauxyv7t7vqstzpumqcn066wfjsmev34mf3.
So at this point any RNG generated seedphrase on any ColdCard product is under active attack. Move quickly if you're exposed.
@Joseph_Spurgeon@Mont1689Dan@bendellwerry "Has the fullness of the Gentiles happened?"
That seems like one of the most important questions for timing. Do you have some good suggestions of scripture passages that define or reference "the fullness of the Gentiles"? Offhand, I don't know where it comes up outside of Rom.11
@Joseph_Spurgeon@Mont1689Dan@bendellwerry Thanks. Those are good things to consider.
In Romans 11 though, it seems like the fall and breaking off of the branches had already taken place due to unbelief:
"through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles"
What am I missing?
@bendellwerry I find it compelling because I don't see how the Jew/Gentile distinction has any meaning after the end of the Old Covenant.
In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. (Hebrews 8:13)
@EvanAKilgore Canon. One reason Revelation is so misunderstood is that people ignore the first sentence.
It was about "things which must shortly come to pass".
@MikeWingerii "Those who reject the future prophetic role of Israel..."
Consider that it may have been future to Paul's writing to the Romans, but not future to us today.
