Paul did not see one sin above another... he was pointing out that there is a life of sin as opposed to just sinning in an otherwise righteous lifestyle. If you live a life of sin, then you will not inherit the Kingdom of God. If you live a life of righteousness (striving to be like Jesus) and...

Yep, you sound like those prosperity teachers... You can deny it all you want, but you talk just like them. Name and claim it! As for the apostles travelling, show me where in Joel 2 that there is an exclusionary clause to this "prosperity promise" that you have to stay in one place to get it.

Ok, so now show me what percent of FEDERAL INCOME TAXES go toward paying for welfare programs? Using CBO numbers, largest chunk of our federal INCOME taxes goes to defense and paying for benefits to civilian gov't and military retirees. Welfare is a tiny fraction of what our income taxes pay...

It is a stereotype to presume that most welfare recipients are lazy cheating bums, and the GOP in their ignorance is the biggest perpetuator of that stereotype. Only 10% of people on welfare are able-bodied. Of those, almost all of them already work while on welfare and get completely off...

So, if you aren't anti-Christ, your are pro-Christ??? :blink: And why is there an assumption that one must choose between only two parties? The Constitution Party is more aligned with Christianity than the GOP. And the Libertarian Party is aligned more with the founders than the GOP. You...

I think you are now changing your tune... You started by saying that if we believe in the Joel 2 promise, we will be rich with money... Now you are saying that you're rich spiritually, which is what many of us here have been saying to you all along. And if the promise is for everyone who...

Every believer and follower of Christ sins every day... They have to continually and boldly go the Throne of Grace for forgiveness and strength to resist temptation. They must die daily. They must be repentant.. and repentance is a process, not a one-time act. "I do not understand what I...

Oh My! I am so sorry! Noah didn't have any daughters! It was Lot whose daughters got him drunk one night and slept with him, and God was NOT pleased with it. The two boys that resulted in the incest were the greatest enemies of Israel. The Bible doesn't say that it was a punishment for their...

You people? What does that mean? Are you extra special in God's eyes? Do you have a different God? Here's some questions I'd like you to answer: Why wasn't John the Baptizer and the Apostles wealthy? Did they fail to grasp God's "promise of prosperity"? Did they lack faith? How...

Once you are sanctified and washed by the blood of Jesus, you are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). The old self is dead. So once sanctified, you are no longer "sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor...

Science does require some faith... If you are not a scientist yourself, you will have to have some faith in scientists... We have a responsibility to look into things ourselves. When someone tells us about something, we should go to the source and look into it and see if we came to same...

That says it all...

Thanks for your prayers! I have no doubt that "people who truly know Christ" CAN be deceived by false prophets and doctrines... Jesus and the apostles warned Christians about them. Why would we be warned if it was not possible? "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's...

That's a good idea... I will buy her an audio Bible... In the meantime, I am still disturbed at how many people soak this stuff into their spirits.

I have a sister at my church that I love and respect, but she is addicted to so-called Christian Radio... She says it allows her to get fed the Word while she works and drives around... Here's the problem: She tells me about some teaching episode that she's all excited about. It sounds a...

Mortal and venial sins? Didn't Jesus die to forgive ALL sins and not just some? Or was His blood not good enough of a sacrifice to forgive ALL sin? An unrepentant thief needs Jesus' blood as much as an unrepentant fornicator... ALL sin is forgivable by God. Otherwise, it cheapens the...

To me, that is like asking, "With so many restaurants, which one is best?" They all serve food, which is essential to survival. Churches come in different "flavors, sizes and textures" to suit the human social needs of its congregants. As long as the essentials are there - the complete gospel...

I don't want you to preach. I want you to explain all the scriptures that others and myself have provided to you that refute your prosperity doctrine. I don't know you, and you are not the Holy Spirit, so show me Biblically, with actual scriptures, that refute those that I and others have...

Cool. So it might have been a typo when you wrote: "Christians need to stop making such ridiculous arguments in the name of our faith." You meant to write "Young earthers"?

First off, Mosaic law prohibits specific types of incest, not ALL incest. By the time Moses came on to the scene, human DNA had a chance to become corrupt with disease and genetic abnormalities... Adam and Eve's DNA was perfectly pure, so incest would not have caused any problems in subsequent...
