We're kind of mixed up in Christendom. The bible says to forsake hanging out with those who live in sin if they call themselves believers, but we don't do that, as proven by our churches. The bible says to get along with each other unless it's over living in sin. We divide over what someone...

Freedom of religion is a great misnomer. God says that we must worship him in spirit and in truth. That's an inner thing, a thing of the mind and soul. Nobody can place any physical constraints on that. Therefore, the gov't or anyone cannot give me freedom of religion, or take it away, or...

correct reply, retro. refreshing to see something worth reading on the forums. Keep it up.

Lively, foreknowledge results in predestination, according to God's way of looking at things. Read Romans. "Those he foreknew, he predestined". It is correct to state that he foreknew, thus he predestined. Read more of what God says how he looks at it: so that election might stand, even...

None has yet explained the OP with scripture. the problem is, though "Look among the nations, and behold and wonder marvelously; for I will work a work in your days which you will not believe, not even if it is declared to you." We say that we are born of God, but we consider it heresy. We...

I said that IT defines the OP. Your response shows confusion on even my statement. I did NOT say that the OP defines the scripture. Failure to understand how that scripture defines the OP goes hand in hand with failure to see that I did not state that the OP defines the scripture, yet somehow...

I beg to differ. It defines the OP. Ciao

Hi, guys. Well, 3:30 am rolls around, and here I am at the computer writing. I'm crazy! But this is what's on my mind... I shared a fair bit of stuff last night, and I hope that it wasn't overbearing or harsh. My intent is to build the body of Christ. This weekend we are going to be gone...

So here's something that I'd like to hear a scriptural answer on.... Everyone seems to love these Isaiah verses: 9:6 For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be on His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting...

It's ok to read the KJV or other versions to get a general understanding of God's Word. To really study it, esp. eschatology, you must have resources in the original language. The verse you quote is basically saying that people with worldly wisdom and knowledge can't take in the simple...

If somebody says that they know the original languages, such as the greek NT, they are full of brown stuff. It is an extinct language. The scholars can't even agree on how it is pronounced, it grammatical rules, etc.. That's why a person can buy any of 2 dozen lexicons with their own greek...

Kaoticprofit, shame on you.

And all His people said "amen!" Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus!

When I said "who cares", it was speaking of those who have such beliefs, for really, they don't care. They will state otherwise. But its that scriptures which states regarding saying one thing, but living another. Interesting thing, though, is that they statistics prove this to be true of...

you are correct. And 1 Thess. states that the antichrist must FIRST come and be fully revealed by what he does, BEFORE Christ can come the second time. But who cares, really? Why do I ask that? Simply because believers will not believe these truths, preferring to believe their own doctrines...
