“What was true for 2350BC to 1950BC should be true for 1614AD to 2014AD...”
It might be, if you were using comparable samples and there was just the one variable to account for, but that’s not the case with your example.
I agree with him on most things. Funny, Arnold always hated the internet, the "net" as he called it. But it was the internet that set me straight and made me find him. Of course the internet in the 90s had every kind of stripe of Christianity you could study, and by sifting through and discerning out what was untrue, I caught Arnold on TV one morning and realized his direction was most correct. He was a great teacher/pastor.
Do you follow his broadcasts?
I think we’ve beat it to death. lol
So true.
Words to comfort the afflicted; and words to afflict the comfortable.
Well, there is the Book of Enoch, which is at least as old as the Dead Sea Scrolls, so no later than the 1st Century AD. The Book of Jubilees also assumes the same interpretation, and is at least as old as Enoch.
Josephus ascribed to that interpretion in “Antiquities of the Jews”, ca AD 94. It was also the commonly expressed opinion of the early church fathers, recorded by the Anti-Nicene fathers, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Clement, and others. The interpretation was also recorded in the Jewish Midrash Targum Yerushalmi (pseudo-Jonathan), of uncertain date, but probably composed between 800-1300 AD.
No, I don’t follow him. Murray denies the Trinity and the existence of hell...just two of his false teachings.
I think he also believes Americans and Brits are the lost tribes of Israel.
Your talk of Eve being impregnated by a fallen angel made a light bulb go off in my head. I knew I’d heard that stuff before, and I finally realized where. What does Murray call it...”Serpent Seed” doctrine, I believe?
I asked you a question, despite you attempts to make it into something more, that’s all it was.
I read part of the book of Enoch, it struck me as untrue and not very old. But that's my opinion, it's at least as old as the middle ages. Trouble is that the Catholic Church kept the Word from the people to keep their power, so I don't know if many got the message. Regardless, yeah, that's a good example.

Good examples. I never heard it until I did deeper studies.
“I can’t help you understand the Word...”
Well, I think that is quite apparent. You want us to substitute a day for a thousand years, but only when the mood strikes you and you can’t explain when or why that is. I think I’ll stick with a more sensible method.
You've been reading too many false websites. Arnold always spoke of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Hell will exist at Final Judgment.

He never called it that. Eve was beguiled by the serpent. Satan's attempt to stop Jesus from being born. It failed, Noah was saved.
Funny your accusatory post is post 666.
Only one person and God knows if that is true.
Not a mood, it's rightly dividing the Word.
“I read part of the book of Enoch, it struck me as untrue and not very old.”
There are two versions of the Book of Enoch, one is more recent and obviously modified by some kind of gnostic/heretical sect. The other can be documented of authentic Hebrew origin from that time period, because matching fragments of the text were found with the Dead Sea scrolls.
“Good examples. I never heard it until I did deeper studies.”
It’s not the fashionable explanation nowadays, so I’m not surprised. When you go to read the old sources, though, it does seem to be the most widespread reading of the text.
“Not a mood, it’s rightly dividing the Word.”
Well, it must be “rightly” to you, since you can’t seem to tell us an objective way for others to apply the same standard. So, it’s subjective, subject to your moods.
I'm not a big fan of the Dead Sea scrolls either. It could have been like finding the Koresh compound.
Study, and asking the Holy Spirit for help. I can see the way you focus on the wrong things that you have many stumblingblocks, as do a couple others on here.
“I can see the way you focus on the wrong things that you have many stumblingblocks, as do a couple others on here.”
Thanks, but I honestly can’t put much stock in your opinion on the matter.
Of course you can't. Why change direction now? lol
Heading out till tomorrow night, if the fates allow, things can go back to a watered down politically correct state again. lol
