    Accepting correction

    Hear hear! You have to know someone loves you before you can accept correction - and that is no doubt a scriptural requirement that we only correct someone in love... I hope that when I am erring, my brother or sister would help me get back on the right path. Even if they are a stranger...

    Old Earth

    OK, so a dead soul sleeps??? No, the body dies, not the soul. Ez 28:19 means "you will not be a terror any more" not "you will never BE any more" Satan, like any other angel, is an eternal being. Revelation 20:10 says that Satan and his angels will be tormented in hell for eternity...

    Accepting correction

    I like this topic! As the Body of Christ, we must always remind ourselves that we cannot do without each other. Every part is important and serves a role. Pertaining to this topic, some in the Body are indeed called to teach, but they just haven't learned how to be good teachers yet. That...

    Old Earth

    Are you saying that God is surrounded by a pile of dead souls in Heaven??? How does Jesus pass judgment on dead souls??? Why would He read out the names in the Book of Life to a bunch of dead souls? Angels are eternal, but we are not? That makes no sense. What's the purpose of salvation...

    Moses and Jesus ?

    All scripture is God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16)... and no scripture is the writer's own interpretation of what God inspired them to write (2 Peter 1:20). The writers of the Bible were completely controlled by the Holy Spirit while they wrote (2 Peter 1:21). The problems we readers have stem...

    The Future Of Naughty Christians

    1. The LIST of sins is all-emcompassing, not the sins themselves. I don't even know what an "all-encompassing sin" would loook like! Can you think of any sin that would not include one or more of the following?: sexual immorality, idolatry, adultery, homosexuality, thievery, greed...

    Republican Party = Christianity; why?

    pom and brakelite, I think you both make very valid (and powerful!) points... Notice that we have an entire archive of quotes from those who ruled, but quotes from those who came to America to be set free (and those who were already free) from oppressive rulers are few and far between, and they...

    Understanding Divine Prosperity

    Glad you finally used the word "wishing" in your post since it appears you believe that God is a genie. I don't need your explanation. I need scripture to back up what you're claiming, and you have spent several days now giving me your words as though they are God's... You have refused to give...

    The Future Of Naughty Christians

    I'm with you on this ATP. Not sure why some here are having trouble with the concept of a Christian sinning vs a person unrepentantly living a sinful life. Wasn't it Paul who said "I die daily"? So, even those who are saved must surrender everyday and resist the temptation to sin.

    Republican Party = Christianity; why?

    Good post! "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religious, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here." -Patrick...

    How sad. And I think it's a very low thing to attack a person's faith just because you disagree with them...

    Yep. That's what I just got through saying...

    The Future Of Naughty Christians

    1. I didn't say "all encompassing sins"... that changes the meaning of what I said drastically... I said the list of sins is all-encompassing, as in: The list of sins covers the gamut of sinful behavior seen in every person. 2. Matthew 5:28: Did you forget that Jesus fulfilled the law? That...

    Republican Party = Christianity; why?

    There wasn't a lot of deism in the founders' days either... That's just something American media likes to say... And not all deists were alike... Deists in America's early years was a small group of well-to-do elitists, much like the Freemasons (who are also deists, which confounds me since...

    The Future Of Naughty Christians

    You do see that the list of sins in the various verses of the NT are all-encompassing, don't you? Everyone does some of them every day. All sin is forgivable because any sin separates you from God. Jesus has no need to make "overstatements"... and I didn't say it would make Him a lair, I...

    So, were these wrong also?...and why?

    Yes, and any church that holds their leader up as a Christ representative is antichrist. Those churches that have a "prophet" or "leader" who cannot be challenged in his theology are antichrist. Many antichrists exist in this world. The RCC might be the biggest, but it has plenty of company...

    Understanding Divine Prosperity

    You answered your own question. The problem with "Name and Claim It" is that you think you deserve it. You and I "deserve" NOTHING! The only thing we sinners deserve is hall-fire damnation. Salvation is an undeserved gift. Isn't that enough? Or do you have to have the money too? That's...

    Republican Party = Christianity; why?

    Yes, and the vast number of non-political founders, the colonists, were protestants. And Unitarianism in the 18th Century America was very different from today's Unitarianism. Now they are pan-religious. In the founders' days they were protestant Christians.

    So, were these wrong also?...and why?

    I think it is prudent to note that Calvin and the others did not call the Pope THE antichrist... they simply said "antichrist"... a state of being in opposition to Christ. I think many modern scholars make the same mistake and think that antichrist is a distinct individual instead of a...

    The Problem with "Christian Media"

    True that! If he has time to check out her FB page, he's got time to have a cup of coffee with her and be a part of her life instead of a bystander! Yep. That about sums up what this woman is being fed every day... and since it's a CHRISTIAN radio station, it all must be true! Yeah, I ended my...
