Lk 20:34 "Jesus said to them, 'Those who belong to this age marry and are given in marriage, 35 but those who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. 36 Indeed, they cannot die anymore, because they are like...

I agree with this, if we correct the strong influence of feminists. I like the NRSVue because it is more theologically neutral, but very accurate. I like the translation of the OT because it strives to translate as the Jews in that day would have understood it, rather than read back into the...

I may be too old and cranky to enjoy the Faith and Family Movie type videos or films. They always come across to me sort of syrupy like the old "Shirley Temple" movies. LOL

This is what I found online about that series: The Ip Man series refers to a collection of Hong Kong martial arts films and a TV series that are loosely based on the life of Ip Man, a renowned Wing Chun grandmaster. Film Series The main Ip Man film series consists of the following movies: Ip...

The old Particular Baptists are sometimes called antinomian, those who take assurance of salvation and peace so far as to be lawless. How was their battle with sin viewed in relationship with their justification? Their 1644 First London Confession illustrates that they did not reject God's...

As a retiree, I watch a lot of TV. I was sickened by the blasphemous ways God's name is used in most Hollywood TV and movies. The shacking up, one night stands or bf/gf cohabiting being portrayed as normal, was sick enough... but using God's name with such vile gutter trash words angered me...

Randy, you are reasoning, but I don't see the scriptures upon which you base your conclusions? I suppose this is a difference in our approach to interpretation. "Now these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us ye might learn not to...

A. Faith is the new law, neonomianism - "So you see, faith or belief is counted the same as obedience. It is obedience. On the other hand, unbelief is counted the same as disobedience." B. Faith is the means or instrument to apply justification to the believer - "Faith is the sole means or...

Carl, you wrote, "Grounded in an Anglican Church", rather writing Episcopal. Are we to understand you to be associated with the more conservative Anglicans, who hold to "The 39 Articles of Religions" in the 1928 Book of Common Prayer? I do not know how the Anglican Communion in Australia...

Carl, if you were to lead a Bible study, readers should know your theological views up front. Do you associate your theology, your understanding of scripture, with that of any known denomination so we know your perspective? How about a Confession of Faith such as the Westminster Confession, or...

YES, there are major and important differences between the First and Second London Confessions of Baptists. For instance, the following important points - There is NO mention of the Ten Commandments, Old Covenant or the Sabbath in the 1644/1646 Confession. Also, importantly, In the 1644/1646...

Neither did God say: "Thou shall not be homosexual"

A world where each individual, having no authority or legitimacy to define words, does so, that is a world of PURE NONSENSE For those trying to define "homophobia" strictly by one of the words in the compound word, that is incorrect grammar: "Compound words have their own distinct meanings...

It is interesting how a literal translation renders that verse: Pro 18:24 LITV "A man of friends may be broken up, but there is a Lover who sticks closer than a brother." :D

First off RLT, I appreciate your response. Second, if I ever used the word "homosexuality" in my posts, which I doubt; I'd want to refresh my memory in what context I used the word. To give definition as to what I am talking about, I go to an English dictionary: The definition of...
