I learned 40 years ago how to read the Bible without my interpretation and to use scripture to define scripture. That is the only way I study scripture. Not by using other’s books or theology. I also use the New American Standard Version which is as close to the original Greek and Hebrew along with the concordance to compare original words.
Have you done your own study or do you just listen to others? Have you gotten on your knees and prayed for God to tell you the truth no matter what you were taught by others? The Word of God speaks to those who will listen. Do not cherry pick verses or parts of the Bible. Take ALL the references and view them together.
I do not listen to Joel Osteen.
No what you learned 40 years ago was to believe a lie. you continue to follow that lie. I told you in my other response what I believed and that I will stay with. As I told you, you keep on looking for the AntiChrist. Get up every morning and go out on the porch and see if he has come. You do that. But as for me, I will continue to look UP for the Blessed Hope that is promised all who look for His coming. I don’t subscribe to your false theories. We are done.
