Creation was first of the invisible spirit realm of existence
Then, the creation of the material physical realm came into existence
Not creationism
ALL of the six (6) creative days are time periods of unknown lengths or even of differing lengths of time
Fossils did Not create themselves...
You're far from alone in the above thinking
Even a wrong expectation does Not make the Bible as wrong, just the expectation as wrong
Yes, it would have to be ' future history ' because in Scripture Earth would first be populated before there is divine involvement - Gen. 1:28
In other words, the...
Jesus died and was resurrected 2000 yrs ago, but the 'concert ' (Luke 19:11-15) is still future
We have yet to see Jesus' coming ' time of separation ' as found at Matt. 25:31-34,37
Instead of buying tickets, Jesus wants us to pray for God's Kingdom to come ( thy kingdom come...... ) - Daniel...
Yes, ' face what the Scriptures clearly say ' because when the powers in charge (1st Thess. 5:2-3) are saying, " Peace and Security......"
that Rosy saying can lead people down that old Primrose Path, Not to Safety, but is a precursor to the coming great tribulation of Rev. 7:14
Clearly then...
The KEY seems to be in the fact that Jesus' return would Not be physical, but an invisible return
People will see Jesus with the 'eyes of understanding ' because of what is happening
Thus, Jesus comes Not in a physical body but in a spirit body along with angelic spirit persons aka angels -...
I find Jesus rejected the organized religion of his day - Matthew 15:9; Mark 7:7; Matthew chapter 23
Even in Isaiah's day there was ?organized religion? - Isaiah 29:13
So, there are two (2) kinds of righteousness: the hypocritical kind and the true righteousness kind
The hypocritical...
Guess I'm showing my age . The saying of having one's 'ears ticked' means: tell people what they want to hear - 2nd Tim. 4:3-4
Paying attention to misleading statements rather then accept what Jesus taught as inspired aka Scripture - 1st Tim. 4:1
Such people don't want to hear Bible Truth but...
Not my reasons but reasoning on 2nd Timothy 4:3-4
For No one can prevent the spread of the Bible's message - 2nd Timothy 2:9 B
What could be better than the good news about God's Kingdom government to replace failing governments - Daniel 2:44; 7:13-14

Yes, 'a threat' and that's a reason why when Jesus resurrected his 4-day dead friend back to life 'the order' so to speak' had to make sure they got rid of the evidence (Jesus' resurrected friend) by Not only trying to get rid of Jesus but murdering his resurrected friend -John 12:10
Jesus'...
Hard just sometimes ? because Jesus forewarned us that his followers would be hated - Matthew 10:22; 24:9 B
So, it seems that as time goes on being neutral, or taking a neutral stand, will become increasingly harder
Thus, being 'forewarned is being forearmed' as to what is going to happen
Please post the ' would be soon ' part because I find Jesus taught No, it would Not be immediate - Luke 19:11-15
Jesus was Not a pacifist because he would be King (ruler) of the 'coming kingdom government of God ' - Daniel 2:44; 1st Cor. 15:24-26
If it was 1st-century soon there would be No...
How about the reason: people wanting to have their ' ears tickled ' ___________________
After all, evolution is promoted with 'religious fervor '
Even though evolution is presented in ' scientific language', so to speak, it can be taught as if it is a secular religion
That is because...
I find Jesus was theocratic ( Not the modern-day definition of theocracy: rule by clergy or by clergy class ) but backed God's Kingdom aka government, thus Jesus and his followers were politically neutral not even getting involved in the issues of the day between the Jews and Romans
Yes, science/medical even looks for suppliments to be of help to the telomeres but can't find a permanent solution because the world is full of sin-sickness and sin is what leads to death - Romans chapter 5
Sin's deadly position is shown in mankind's long history because of fallen-father Adam
Who seats themselves in the 'church' but false clergy who seat themselves as if they are God but really are anti-God
- 2nd Thessalonians 2:2-8
Bible was Not wrong, false clergy were wrong
Yes, since Adam death is something that happens to every human
To me, the real ' good old days' have Not yet happened
Yes, 'busy making the future as dim as possible' because the timely words that now describes today's self-centered people are as defined at 2nd Timothy 3:1-5,13 people going...
After Noah's day man's life span became more within the life span of 70 to 80 years - Psalm 90:10
Remember: Adam could live forever on Earth if he did Not break God's Law of Gen. 2:17
Since we are all born after fallen-father Adam is why we die
