    tyler s in "The Moment After You Die"
    metaphor, like all the parables Jesus tells a story that illustrates his point, there was probably not a real good Samaritan, or a pearl merchant who sold everything for one pearl, or a specific woman who found a lost silver peice and throws a party.

    tyler s in "Roe v Wade - Part 2: The Sanctity of Life"
    The person who is raped will indeed carry the trauma of that event for the rest of her life regardless of whether or not she becomes pregnant and or delivers a baby. if she aborts the baby then she has also the trauma of having intentionally ended the life of an innocent human being. that's would be much worse than giving the child up for adoption. your reaction to go and kill that poor baby sounds more like vengeance than mercy. would you also council your daughter to kill her rapist, there would be more justice in that act, but I don't think that it would improve her life. or if the man had other children should she kill them as retribution? obviously not! many children of rape have been adopted and lead good lives, do you begrudge them this and would you tell them that if it had been your choice they should not have gotten the chance? probably not. choose life freind.

    tyler s in "Jesus Christ and the Great White Throne Judgment"

    Isa 65:20 seems to point to a time of perhaps at least 100 years, though there is not a clear time frame given in the Bible.

    tyler s in "Roe v Wade Repealed"

    a couple points here, first keep in mind this is a description of the first creation of man by God from dust, before there was any life of this type, this never happens again. even Eve the first woman is taken from Adam and the prase breath of life is not part of her creation.
    second I don't think that the breath of life refers simply to respiration, that would be breath (of life would be unnecessary here). instead the breath of life here refers to air probably but also the spirit of man. there are plenty other places to look in the Bible to see than unborn babies are already alive. Luke 1:42,44, jer 1:5, or even the example of case law cited in this article that if a woman is struck and the baby inside her is killed, it is a death sentence, this wouldn't be true if it weren't life.

    tyler s in "By denying the Holy Spirit as a third entity in the Trinity, are you in danger of committing an unforgivable sin?"

    https://www.ucg.org/bible-study-tools/booklets/is-god-a-trinity
    consider reading the booklet for a more in depth explanation of this topic.
    but with respect to your question about John 16:7-14. the words translated from the Greek are gender neutral, and the English translators used pronoun he where it would have been an equally good translation. these translator already believed in the trinity sine it's been the most common belief in the world since the council of nicaea in 325AD and so the language sounds like it is talking about a person but if you were to read it substituting it for he which is an equally valid translation it does not sound as if it refers to a person. I hope this helps.

    tyler s in "Christians Who Don’t Celebrate Easter: What Do They Know?"

    that's a good question. there are two kinds of sabbath see leviticus 23, the weekly sabbath and the annual feasts are also called sabbath sometimes in scripture. so the passover would be one sabbath in the week and the 7th day (Saturday) would be the second.

    God says render into caesar what is caesar's, that means pay your taxes and obey the laws of the land so long as those laws do not require you to sin. the law does not require you to work on Sabbath and if they did you would be right to disobey mans law as God's superceeds it. if you ignore what God wants to obey what people want you to do instead that is being conformed to the word and friendship to the world is enmity to God.

    do you imagine it was easier to keep the sabbath at any other time in history than it is today? it has always been hard to do things that God expects. you may think about Jesus often and that is good. but to dismiss the commandments was never something that He taught.

    tyler s in "Is ISIS the King of the South?"
    I'm sorry but I seem to have missed the point that you are trying to make. I do have some doubt that breakings has to mean terrorism there are a lot of ways to ruin. But no i don't think that ISIS is the leviathan even if they claim the title. you might have jumped the gun a bit in your proclamations of prophetic interpretation.

    tyler s in "Is Suicide the Unpardonable Sin?"

    That's awful. I'm sorry to hear about such tragedy. Only God can know all of the things that go into a thing like this. Bad news can trigger people into making decisions that they wouldn't otherwise, but no it didn't cause this. Everyone gets bad news from time to time and you can decide how you are going to react. consider Job he got as much bad news as anybody and he felt it as deeply as anyone and with God's help he came out of the situation a better person than before. No matter how bad a situation is it can always get better if you go to God with it, and struggle though it with Him. Sorry for your friends and for your loss.

    tyler s in "Is the book of Enoch sacred writing?"

    If you are trying to convince Christians that Jesus is not God you have come to the wrong place. It is the teaching of all of the Church of God that Jesus is the Son of God. There is a huge body of literature on this site discussing the divinity of Christ you could read if you are interested.

    tyler s in "What Is "Armageddon"?"
    yes. the battle where the armies meet at Megiddo to go up to Jerusalem and to fight against Christ at His return and defeated by Him. and Gog and Magog is an insurrection at the beggining and again at the end of the Millennium. ref, Ezekiel 38, Rev 20:8, Rev 19

    tyler s in "Remembering the Sabbath"
    I don't understand your question. Can you explain what you mean about the sabbath ending in 1.5 hrs on a new moon? Of course we don't use the roman calendar for calculating Sabbaths. So I fail to see what point you are trying to make.
