I fear it is worse than that, sir. The American people are proud of the new fascist police state we've created. Nowhere is there the slightest uproar about our loss of liberty. In fact, the cries for increased security abound. "Those that forsake liberty for security deserve neither." -...

I still haven't read an answer to my question. The church is defined in the Bible as a family/body with Christ as the head. God is called Father. Who pays a tithe to belong to a family? Who pays a tithe to his or her body parts? It goes without saying that money is given within the family...

The identification of the anti-Christ in the Bible occurs in two places. In each it is indicated that he is a man. One Biblical reference is to the man God, chief prince of Rosch, Meschech and Tubal. The definition goes on to list political alliances. The second reference is to Gog...

IMO: the coming anti-Christ is a man. Mohammad al-Mahdi, the 12th Imam of the restored caliphate of Islam. Do your homework on this figure and you'll uncover some incredibly shocking parallels between Islamic preditions of the end times, Christian predictions of the end times and what is...

No argument with this post at all. Until the time of Emperor Constantine, the new church was basically home-based. Worship, teaching and meetings were all held in private homes. Those who led the church worked secular jobs. Those who traveled, such as the apostles, received help to defray...

"Those who give up their liberty for more security neither deserve liberty nor security." - Benjamin Franklin "Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty." - Ronald Reagan "When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."...

It is not ..... 1) me 2) me 3) me 4) me It is Christ one through four and beyond. Hello? Somebody never read the Bible! Hello? There is NONE righteous, not a single stinking filthy self-righteous goody-two-shoes one. NOBODY LOVES GOD. NOBODY. Get it? Read the Bible. We are all a...

Community in the spirit. Sounds nice. What is that? If the implication is church I don't follow you at all. Most churches I've attended, and I've attended A LOT let me tell you, don't believe in -spirit anything-. Most of the folks there aren't even sure who the heck Jesus was. And...

Examine any statistical chart published and you'll see that the US is far down from the top as far as actual standard of living is concerned. I agree with the statement that folks are having trouble buying food. Despite the daily ration of mud and smoke we get from the national news...

They have some good weed in Africa. I know, I've been there twice and smoked it until I couldn't see straight. They import some great hashish from Arabia too as well as opium. Been there and did that as well. I remember an excellent spaghetti dinner I ate after that experience. It...

The inner conflict, as someone has said, is the flesh warring against the spirit. Christ has provided the answer to the conflict in the cross. In as much as we are willing to take up our cross and follow Jesus we will resolve the conflict and put the flesh to death even as we walk in life...

Read the book of Job and put yourself in Job's circumstances. If you do so honestly, you'll discover just how 'spiritual' you are. But the greatest test of all is the cross. Nobody but nobody even preaches the cross anymore, but in the beginning it was the trend. The blood is for God...

On the morning of June 5, 1967 the Israel Defense Forces launched bombing raids against Egyptian air fields. The action began what came to be known as the six day war. When the fighting ended Israel had won a decisive land war, including but not limited to control of the city of Jerusalem...

Freedom of Religion goes to the core of what a man is, what he is a part of, and how he will act in society. If a man is born again, then he is a part of God and as such has a divine right to access those rituals and holy books which are necessary for his edification and growth. It...

It should be clearly understood that post #1 in this series forms the basis for a common ideology which is neither sustained by Biblical text, spirit or common decency. At its core it is anti-semitic, unrealistic and heresy. Genesis 12:2-3 says in part speaking to Israel, "I will bless those...

The eternal search for loopholes in the commandments of God goes on. We read in the gospels of the manipulations committed by the pharisees and wag our heads, while all the time witnessing the same actions going on all around us today. Whether a man is saved by grace or by law means nothing...

The true essence of Christianity, the cross, has been totally lost in all regards. The method of participation in salvation has changed - as recorded in the Bible. In the Old Testament, corporate salvation was the rule. If you wanted to be saved, you had to become a Hebrew or a Jew (depending...

What can one say and maintain an open mind in the face of a plethora of interpretations of events of the last days - these days? One dare not throw out everything that's said, else some valuable truth be discarded with it. One cannot rely completely upon one's own mind, because even the best of...

All the discussion here can be divided into two general categories; religious and political. Spiritual statements are well founded and I find that I'm pretty much in agreement with most of them. Political statements are also well grounded, except that not many have replied to them. Since the...

Tithing is mentioned in the OT in connection with the support of the priestly class. The Levites were not allowed to engage in commerce as the rest of the tribes could do and thus their sources of income were restricted. In order to support them, a stipend or tithe was created. Additionally...
