Yeah I think free will is our the ability to choose. You mentioned the prisoner in chains. He may not have the choice of his situation, but he has the choice of his attitude. But in terms of the gospel, we have the choice to follow the spirit of God, repent of our sins, and become like the...

Thanks Arnie! I see. Yeah the Bible does jump around a lot and topics are scattered throughout. Obviously we don't have all that was written, but I am glad we have what we do. Maybe some day more will come :)

It sort of is splitting hairs! :) But the concept is true. As far as the Only Begotten of the Father - meaning when Jesus was literally born onto the Earth - that will only be him, not us. He alone carries that role. The Lord tells Job about when the morning stars and all the sons of God...

Since the United States has now become a nation that desires evil more than righteousness, where can we hide? Where can we go to escape the calamities that will befall this nation because of their complete rejection of the Holy One of Israel?

Perfectly said. I love it! As soon as our nation has a majority of people that desire the evil and wrong things, our society will be ripening for destruction. As soon as they force the righteous out of their society, which is what they are doing by removing God from everything, then they will be...

True. But the sad thing is that the people don't run the government. Big corporations and the people with the money run the government, and it is of no interest to them to change the laws. Secondly, most Christians that are for abortions are women, because they mistakenly think they have the...

The mark of the beast is something that the anti Christ will make people have in order to buy or sell things. No one knows what that is, but rest assured that when the time comes, the prophets will come telling the true believers to abstain from it.

He is the Firstborn. Of all of the Father's children, he was the first. We came after. All came after him. So, literally he is a son of God, an offspring of the Father, just as we all are. He tells Mary that he will go to his Father and our Father, his God and our God. If his father is our...

If we are talking solely on the transgression of Adam, we find that he chose to eat of the fruit, he was not deceived or led into it. Paul tells us that Adam was not deceived. If he wasn't deceived, then he knew what he was doing. He decided to transgress the laws, thereby allowing him and his...

Very good David! Some don't want to keep it simple. This is why I say it isn't a debate about which day or when we should meet at church, etc. Good thread though, thanks people!

You don't need an in depth study to figure out that apostasy had occurred, or that doctrines have been changed since New Testament times. Just look at the things that people came up with after Jesus and his apostles were killed. Now this probably will offend most of you, as truth cuts to the...

Im searching for the word rapture in the Bible. Cant seem to find it. Someone help!

Adam and Eve were created and placed here. Animals and plants were placed here. Once things were set in motion, it makes no difference if they evolve from there or not. Humans lived longer then, now they live less. There has been change. But this matters not. God created us and to him we will...

They are preaching the same gospel. But as all preachers do, they preach to the audience at hand. If members of the audience are needing to be taught in a specific subject, they will teach to that. In the case of Paul, he was preaching to Jewish converts in Rome that still had their hearts on...

It is a great topic for debate and as usual, many people pick one scripture and try to make it sound as if that one verse has the entirety of a doctrine built into it. There are three different camps, those for grace, those for works, and those for a mixture of both. The salvation by grace...

Can someone point me to the verse where it mentions this word "trinity". I cant seem to find it.

The commandment to keep the Sabbath day holy is well known. I'll just quote it here for easy access: Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor...

Sniper762, Dear Brother, I like your thought about comparing the sins to bestiality. The Old Testament says the person who commits that crime be put to death and also the animal must be put to death! Animals can consent because if they didn't like it they would fight and bite your butt...

Interesting topic and it's a shame that Christians have to fight and argue over the most basic of doctrines. Oh that I lived in the days of the apostles and could have gotten the true doctrine directly from their lips, or even better, had been around to hear Jesus teach. All we have now is...

Very nice dear brother Justin! I think us Christians today perhaps live in fear of doing those things. The miracles and healings and revelations that come to the faithful and obedient is a tough load to carry in this world that is full of darkness. You see how hard the worldly people and...
