I think much harm has been done through the centuries by date setting. I think that looking for Signs of the Second Coming is unscriptural. Christ said that the Jew seeketh for a sign. He said that there would be no sign given but the Sign of Jonah, where Christ would spend three days in the...

I could not read all the input,so someone may have already replied in this manner: 1) The Light spoken of in Genesis was ambient light...that is, non-focused, source-less light. Just Light. God does not require light...it could have only been created for His Creation and creatures. Secondly...

Now, how about Old Testament typology? Is there a type,or "picture" of Baptism in the Old Testament? I would imagine that the best OT example would be circumcision. The act of circumcision was instituted by God to the Father of the Jews and Christians,Abraham,as a sign of obedience to God. It...

In an effort to make this subject understandable, may I say that what with "Baptism" or "no Baptism" being discussed, you have left out an important , nay, a VITAL facet of salvation...Repentence! "Luke 13:3 :"Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." More info to follow... Julian of York

Thank you for your response,Aspen. I suppose that ,because of the coming Passover, the thieves beside Christ had their legs broken ,so that they could be removed from their crosses. I know that many early peoples,including Amerindians,practiced hanging victims on trees,or wooden biers and...

On Sunday, I was looking at the cross in front of our church and thinking about crucifixion in general. I understand that crucifixion was a fairly common punishment for non-Roman criminals sentanced to death. I believe Josephus spoke of a million Jews crucified during the Jewish Wars. In Israel...

Hello,all! I am a 55 year old Christian who has recently become a Reformed Baptist. I am a life-long Baptist, with a standard up and down track record, until I read "The Way of the Master" by Ray Comfort one year ago. His message on "True and False Conversions" caused a re-examination of my...
