The power of sin has been defeated at the cross. It will not and cannot have power over the saved - over those of the second birth - to destroy the spirit of the saved man. Unfortunately, many Christians feel they have license to sin. They won't admit it, but they live it. The flirtation...

1. THE RAPTURE 2. "My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one." - Jesus as recorded in the gospel of John 17:15 ​Which part of NOT does the reader NOT understand? The rapture ideology was invented in the mid-19th century by John Nelson...

The final Jeopardy question is this. SO WHAT? What are we supposed to do about it, if anything? None can alter the course of the orbit of the moon, the earth and the planets. None can change the course of history. I presume nobody really cares. What will be will be. We shall all...

Interesting subject. Pardon me for asking, though.........what is 'the cause of Christ' mentioned in your lead post? I could be wrong, but there appear to be as many 'causes' as there are preachers who wish to build their own religious empire. Nobody really cares about End Times, or the...

There's nothing controversial about the fact that God hates, except in the minds of those who are looking for an excuse to continue to live in their sin and rebellion. God loves righteousness and hates sin. He hates it. Get it? God will love or hate according to His own design and none can...

This is an example of a 'loaded question', which I didn't answer, BTW. According to the Bible ALL are sinners, but those who have accepted Christ are covered by the blood of the lamb - thus making them just. In the eyes of God, those who are born again are justified by His blood. Their...

Obama is an empty suit, as was GW Bush before him. Those that think this nation is ruled by someone in the White House are dreaming. and that's just me, hollering from the choir loft....

Too many misinterpret the identity of 'the restrainer' as the Holy Spirit. The notion is misapplied in the extreme. Here's why. Consider the context of the passage for intended meaning. This is the accepted method of learning the point of scripture. The passage in question is talking about...

Scofield published many false paths of Biblical understanding, but he did make himself some money. That's the important thing, isn't it? Despite the obvious patterns revealed in the OT and the words of St. Paul in the new - nobody seems to want to pay attention to the Bible. We've got...

The real burning question that's being asked here....and everywhere it seems....is the degree of hate and exactly who is involved. The answer is that GOD HATES SINNERS. Pure and simple. Read the Bible. There's a definite pattern there and one doesn't need to be a rocket scientist to pick up...

It's amazing to me how many prophetic wannabes there are in the world. Perhaps it has something to do with our over mechanized society or maybe its just that some folk simply want to show off. Whatever the reasons, few pay attention to real prophets of record and none wish to tread their path...

The issue for this particular thread isn't forgiveness.....it's REPENTANCE. If a struggle with sin continues, then repentance hasn't happened or it wasn't sincere, or the person isn't seeking God's help with removing it. Flirtation with sin, under the assumption that salvation is a license to...

The issue is not birth condition. The jury is still out on that one depending upon which politically correct expert you prefer. The issue, according to Jesus Christ, is self-denial. One is required to take up one's cross, whatever that may be, and follow the Master. There are no excuses...

Holy Spirit is not constant - at least as far as human perception is concerned. Jesus said that HS was like the wind. No one knows where it comes from or where its going. It's just real cool when it blows our way, though. The Holy Spirit is a PERSON, not a commodity, an emotion or a mental...

The report is new to our eyes, but the culture that spawned it is not. Google dhimmitude It's traditionally called DHIMMITUDE among the Muslim nations of the earth. Part of old sharia law, it is a general social and legal attitude among Muslim nations toward those of its citizens who are not...

Good post. Insightful. What is OSAS may I ask? I tend to agree with Madad. Signs and patterns, especially for America do not bode well. I understand that the Holy Spirit can bless any time and in any way it wishes, but there are generally patterns which precede such an event. Rough ride...

I attended a local church on the last Sunday of June 2014. The congregation was treated to a prediction by the pastor. He said that he'd heard rumors of a coming revival similar to the one that swept the nation in 1970. He made some lofty claims that he was privy to special spiritual...

re: 'these people' The context of the phrase in the original post created a narrative pointer to UK, making subsequent remarks exclusive to 'those people'. My next sentence in reply attempted to clarify heinous acts and to focus upon human issues at home - in America. I'm an American and...

"These people?" It should be noted that man's inhumanity to man is much closer to home than the distant shores of Europe. Indeed, the depths of human depravity can be seen right here in America. In Jimmy Carter's new book, A CALL TO ACTION, the former president points out the exponential...

As I wrote, such things ought to be accepted or rejected by Christians for Christian reasons. As an aside I must state that the world considers such things to be rubbish. Personally, however, I have encountered far too many spiritual manifestations in my life to write off any such...
