    Just a question

    Religious tradition holds to different methods of capital punishment. To this day Muslims perform beheading for a variety of reasons. Recently the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia reacted to the rise in beheadings by advertising for MORE executioners. This is not a practice of a by-gone era. It is...

    What does the Bible say about Grace and Good Works?

    The typical Biblically illiterate church type has no idea what they're talking about when they refer to religious law. There are TWO. One is the LAW of Grace, also called the Law of Christ and also called Torah/Pentateuch. This LAW was given by GOD TO MOSES upon the Holy Mountain. This LAW...

    What does the Bible say about Grace and Good Works?

    As I read the basic idea you present here, there is no such thing as the LAW of Moses being applicable unto salvation. As I read the argument, one isn't bound by the LAW at all. As an extrapolation I believe you are saying one who is saved can murder his neighbor, rape his neighbor's wife...

    What does the Bible say about Grace and Good Works?

    The problem with logic expressed here is that the Blood of Christ is usurped by humanistic love. It is replaced in the post-modern neo-gnostic church by human love & kindness with absolutely no acknowledgment of the righteousness of a Holy God. The church today has betrayed the gospel of...

    What does the Bible say about Grace and Good Works?

    Thank you for agreeing with me. As I wrote earlier, no one can be saved apart from the LAW. Redemption begins with conviction of SIN. Indeed you wrote about the LAW; "expose that you are a sinner, unrighteous, needing to confess your SINNING." Is this not the beginning of justification? Is...

    What does the Bible say about Grace and Good Works?

    Mosaic LAW is denied by most of the gentile church. Whether by systemic antisemitism or by the acceptance of pagan tradition, the church now regards the LAW as something to be despised. (2 Thessalonians 2:7) This is necessary for church leaders to manipulate their congregations into following...

    What does the Bible say about Grace and Good Works?

    The common slogan often used by some preachers is; "We are saved FOR good works, not BY them." However any mention of Jewish LAW usually ruffles the feathers of many who read about it. Please remember the Bible is a Jewish book written by Jews, about Jews and for Jews. Gentiles are invited to...

    What does the Bible say about Grace and Good Works?

    You are quoting religious slogans. Please be more specific. I don't understand the point you're trying to make here. that's me, hollering from the choir loft...

    Was Jesus Eternally Tormented?

    THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS HELL. There is no such thing as eternal torment in the Bible. It exists only in pagan mythology and fear-mongering ideology. The root word for HELL doesn't come from Holy Writ. It's actually derived from the norse demi-god HEL who was said to be the female guardian...

    What does the Bible say about Grace and Good Works?

    We are saved FOR good works, not BY THEM. No one can be saved apart from the LAW, for the LAW is given that we may know God's definition of SIN. By the LAW we are convicted of SIN and by the LAW we are to REPENT of SIN. By the LAW we are instructed as to the method of redemption and...

    How Does the Church Interact with the Kingdom?

    According to Jesus quoted in the gospel of Mathew, the church acts in a manner in which decisions made to cause actions or cease from actions are respected and acted upon in heaven. That was then. This is now. The church today is rotten to the core. In America, churches are run like...

    SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT?

    The activity is not representative of the action of the Holy Spirit. It is an action of spirits the purpose of which is to detract from worship of God in church. Consider that the bodies of people are possessed and made unconscious or semi-conscious by spiritual entities that do not overtly...

    Iran Deal: Peace and Safety?

    The above fiction might never happen according to the way its written because of one sad truth - the people of the world in general and the USA in particular are not being told about all the points of the Iran nuclear treaty. One cannot accurately propose interpretations of prophecy upon the...

    Is America Becoming A Force For Evil In The World?

    Good points, especially about divine use of earthly power to execute judgment. The Biblical position is that God uses great earthly powers and empires like a rod to punish and to judge those who violate His commandments. The powers that execute judgments do so without knowledge that they are...

    The TRUTH About Ukraine & Russia

    Be careful when you make statements accusing the US of anything that can be even remotely perceived as being other than morally right or politically justified. America is always right and pure and innocent - according to most. It is unpatriotic to question the actions of the US Federal...

    Greek Economic Crisis

    I don't believe that "policies of austerity produce declining GDP, unemployment, shattered lives, extended malaise and suffering." Austerity is the result of declining GDP, not the cause of it. Debt and irresponsible financial policy is the cause of it. Beginning in the 1980's the US and its...

    Is America Becoming A Force For Evil In The World?

    Heretoeternity: Good post. Excellent points. History does not lie, though many who call themselves patriots would disagree. What we are witness to in America is change on many fronts. Heretoeternity has referred to the cultural changes. These changes are divisive and destructive in...

    UN passes ‘unprecedented’ pro-family resolution

    I checked the link and there is nothing there in the way of legal language. What does 'protection of the family' mean in legal terms? It makes an interesting headline, but what's it about really? The column points out objections by USA & UK, but what did the delegations object to...

    No such thing as The Rpature

    The rapture heresy is littered with filters, fetters and frills. It is neither Biblical nor logical and those who support it do indeed rest their arguments on personal assault and assassination of character. They do so because that is the last resort of baseless opinion. "I pray NOT that...

    Female Pastors

    Are we to live by the Word of God or are we to live according to the vagaries and dictates of American society? America is known throughout the world as a great nation. America is also known as being one of the most debauched, lawless and violent societies on the face of the earth. We boast...
