    Porn in Scripture

    Haanne, my heart goes out to you. Has he tried an accountability partner? I'm not sure on the logistics of setting it up. But it involves having someone else get a listing of all the websites he visits. Then that person (usually another guy) helps monitor his actions.

    Creation or Evolution

    All humanity is sinful & in need of salvation. No race can be singled out as more worthy. Because Scripture says we are all unworthy. Only Jesus can claim perfection in God.One of my concerns about this doctrine, is how it has been used in the past. I know kriss, jag & denver all hold with this...

    Creation or Evolution

    Adam & Eve had more than one son. Obviously only one of those sons is in Christ's genealogy. This is like the Kennite doctrine that is being pushed on this board. If it doesn't pass the test of Scripture, then it isn't true. The Bible says to test all things & compare them to the word. And if...

    Creation or Evolution

    I'm with Dave & Wise Haven on this. All humanity came from Adam & Eve. This extra race theory doesn't pass the test of scripture. Because it contradicts the Word.

    Apostasy and delusion

    I find myself reflecting on the life of Jeremiah. In many ways, his situation parallels ours.

    Apostasy and delusion

    My challenge isn't seeing the condition we, the church collective, are in. But rather, knowing what to do about it. I anticipate things will get worse. I cringe to say that, because my heart's desire is that things get better. And I'm not a doom & gloom type of person.I sometimes feel...

    What had to be explained more adequately?

    Since the last time this topic came up, I've ponder how the thief on the cross fits in. Here is what I've come up with. Before Jesus came to earth & died, the "righteous" dead waited somewhere. Luke 16:19-28 describes. Romans 4:3 says "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as...

    Porn in Scripture

    I think porn is a snare for guys. Women are supposed to appeal to men. But porn takes this God given drive, and corrupts it. And because it warps something fundamentally good in the male nature; it is particularly hard to break.I've heard guys having success with an accountability partner who...

    Another President in Office?/rapture

    No, Jesus had flesh (ie physical substance) after he arose from the tomb. Just not blood.Sorry, thought this was the 2 in the field post. Deleted the second part of my answer.

    Cali fires .. . judgement of God?

    My friend outside of San Diego, had the fire come close enough to melt his sprinklers. But (thanks be to God) his house was spared. Last night, we had an earthquake 6 miles from our house. No damage (October seems to be a month for earthquakes in my area.)I see the worsening in nature stemming...

    War On The Saints

    I think people take one of two incorrect views about the devil (or evil spirits). One, they doesn't exist. Which is clearly untrue. Or second, every evil is a consequence of the evil spirits meddling in human affairs. Which is also untrue. Since most of the wrongs in the world are caused by our...

    Ye Are Saved BY Grace...

    TallMan, I'd answer you question, if I understood what you are asking. You obviously disagree with the way I'm reading 1Cor 12. How do you interpret it?

    2nd Thess. /Rapture/Man of Sin

    In Revelation 1-3, Jesus dictates to John warnings & blessing to 7 churches; Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea. These are 7 historic churches. Each also represents a sequential age that the church will pass thru in it's history.Ephesus- the early...

    2nd Thess. /Rapture/Man of Sin

    I lean toward a mid-trib rapture. But don't feel I have put all the pieces in place well enough to have a firm conclusion. It is unclear to me why Jesus stops speaking to the church & switches to speaking about the Jews.Leaving the timing of the rapture aside. What surprises me most, is that...

    Spirit question

    (lastsecman;21003) 'It's like we are now like Adam and Eve in the beginning before they committed the sin. Question: how and in what way can we know what the Spirit wants us to do? Is it a personal thing for each different person or is it an unanswerable question? No, not like before Adam & Eve...
