We do not know that Jesus is talking about Pentecost. It has the same problem as the theory you've presented concerning the transfiguration. Pentecost was only week or two away. Pentecost occurred 50 days after the resurrection which was only a week to ten days after the transfiguration which...

I still see no correlation between Peter's comment and Christ's prophecy! And you're right 6 days makes it far worse than if it had been six weeks! (I really don't know what's happening with my reading comprehension!!) Why would I ask Peter? Peter didn't give the prophesy, Jesus did. Why...

Okay, I was clearly not on my best footing yesterday! For some reason, I had it in my head that the "some standing here" prophecy was in Matthew 18, not Matthew 16 and I just forgot completely that God made the same "This is my beloved Son..." comment at the transfiguration that He had made in...

Peter was not making any reference to Jesus' statement. The transfiguration happened before Jesus' prophecy and it had nothing to do with Jesus coming in His Kingdom. Peter was talking about God the Son's coming in the flesh, (i.e. the incarnation) and more specifically, Peter is making direct...

Jesus didn't merely say that "the end was near", He explicitly stated that "there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom." This was recorded in three of the four gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke. I'm curious, how do you deal with that...

I think the forward most horizontal piece is the key. Hard to say for sure though.

Some people are REALLY into these puzzles!! If found a website that is crazy... http://www.robspuzzlepage.com/interlocking.htm#moreburrs On that page there is a chart of 25 pieces My puzzle includes pieces 1 (the key), 1024 (the Y), 824 & 975 (both of "the Offsets") & 911 (one of "the...

I'll use the spoiler tag when/if I post the solution!

I'm usually pretty good at puzzles but I cannot figure this one out. I spent another 45 minutes to an hour fiddling with it yesterday. You know that I've given up when I start looking for the solution online. I've looked and looked and cannot find a single example of this specific puzzle...

Well, God certainly knows his heart and can easily know the kinds of things he'd likely do if he was given the power and authority to do it. Also, we have to guard against looking at these predicted actions through modern day lenses. A prediction that a king "will set fire to their fortified...

It helps a great deal if you read it in modern English.... II Kings 8:7 Elisha went to Damascus, and Ben-Hadad king of Aram was ill. When the king was told, “The man of God has come all the way up here,” 8 he said to Hazael, “Take a gift with you and go to meet the man of God. Consult the Lord...

I've thought of exactly that - well something similar anyway! I know that the solid piece with no cutouts goes in last and that the square hole it goes into has no hidden voids once its in place. So far, that knowledge hasn't been of any help. I'll try again with that thought specifically in focus.

I need some help solving this puzzle. I've fiddled with it for hours and hours and I just cannot figure it out. I've looked online for solutions and it seems to be a quite unique version of this puzzle to the point that there isn't a single example of it anywhere online - until now, of...

I saw this on X the other day. It's nice to see someone standing up against an arrogant, left-wing reporter but the error that the President Ali made was to accept the reporter's premise. His defense was to talk about his country's carbon footprint and "gigatons of carbon" in his country's rain...

If it wasn't dead already, I was surely in hospice while I was growing up! So, on the subject of the death penalty for kids.... I'd say that if they are old enough to know what they're doing then they aught to be executed for the crimes they commit. So far, I see no evidence that suggests that...

You seem incapable of reading me at all. What could I possibly have written that would lead you to make such a conclusion? I consider any Non-Catholic Christian who believes either that God predestined everything or is in control of all that happens, to be a Calvinist, whether they call...

Yes, Southern Baptist does not equal Calvinist, that's definitely true. There is a growing segment of the denomination that is Calvinist, however. I attended one near Tulsa that was "officially" Calvinist, although they more or less avoided talking about controversial issues like predestination...

This is a very good post that goes a long way towards basically saying outright something that I've noticed for years. That being the fact that most regular people don't actually believe hardly any of the five points of Calvinism. They think they do but the fact is that they don't really...

Let's put it this way.... If he still believes the things he said in the thread that Lon posted a link to about "God's prescriptive and decretive will" then he's still a Calvinist. I'd be willing to bet dollars to donuts that he still does and is. He wouldn't be the first Calvinist who didn't...

It's been over a decade since I've discussed anything with him. Perhaps he's repented but he was a Calvinist when he was here and unless he's significantly altered his beliefs, then he's a Calvinists whether he calls himself that or not.
