I feel as though the old saying will be true for the US, starting next year: "The cure is worse than the disease". As an example - A son and his wife have maxed out their credit cards, and they are behind on the payments for that big, new SUV with the attached bass boat. Their mortgage...

I prefer to stay with the clear declarations of God's word, rather than the theories of religious humanism. Written in the Old Covenant: Psa 110:1-4 NRSVue "The LORD says to my lord, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.” 2 The LORD sends out from Zion your mighty...

You wrote: "God already knows, in advance, that some will agree to live by His word and some will not." Is that foreknowledge of God based on the "will" of the "some'; or is it based on His will by Decree?

Does Tit_2:11 really teach that the saving grace of God has appeared to every member of the human race without any exception? Of course not! It matters little whether one interprets “the appearance of the saving grace” as referring to the bestowal of salvation itself, or to the fact that the...

I wish the RNC would give a schedule of time for the various speakers. I got weary of the talking heads on FoxNews so went to C-Span, but I'm not patient enough to wait through all the speeches from people I've never even heard of in order to hear the speaker I wished to hear. I gave up and...

The replies I am reading on this thread show the Pharisaical attitude of too many self-professing Christians in this day.

Regarding the 'superstition' about the given name of Jesus, it is not so clear-cut as some seem to think. Can we know for sure how the 1st century Jews pronounced the Hebrew and Aramaic names for Jesus? The following are some paragraphs of information available online. While Modern Hebrew...

What does the 2024 Republican Platform say on some important issues of Faith? It is not easy to find the actual, full text of the Platform, but the link follows these important quotes: From Chapter Nine - GOVERNMENT OF, BY, AND FOR THE PEOPLE 3. Republicans Will Defend Religious Liberty We...

The scenario, the young man is said to be cohabiting with another young man. When questioned by the Pastor, the young man replies, "If it is any of your business, I have always been attracted to other males, emotionally, romantically and sexually. I have never had such feelings for a female...

The Greek-English Lexicon's of NT Greek cite so-called evidence that malakos means a "catamite", or the passive partner in the practice of homosexuality. I've spent some time searching the Internet to read such evidence these Lexicons give. I found the following: Dionysius Halicarnassus...

Randy, Pastor Clark mentions "C. I. Scofield and J. H. McConkey" but does not refer to them as "Dispensationslists". Here is his foreward - FOREWORD (the date stamp from the Princeton Library is 1/21/1927) It seems desirable to state in the beginning that this exposition of The Revelation...

You are correct, Randy, and I should have clarified that. I suppose that it seems to be the Dispensational model that you hear constantly, so I did not think anything about it as I posted these. I'll state that if I make further quotes from Clark's commentary.

In verse five we find the expression, "But the rest of the dead lived not (again) until the thousand years were finished." This expression is not found in some manuscripts notably the Vatican and Syriac. But assuming that it is a genuine part of our text it will come up for some reference as we...

The internal evidences are in our estimation overwhelmingly in favor of the Neronian date. A few of these it is well to call in mind. (a) The messages to the seven churches disclose the fact that they were being subjected to the propaganda of Judaizing teachers. This indicates a date before...

According to the premillennialist, the seven churches of Asia spoken of in the second and third chapters, are seven periods of history from John's time, down till the time of Christ's return. The fourth chapter begins the Tribulation period at the beginning of which the righteous dead are raised...

I am becoming suspicious of the many problems popping up in Boeing aircraft. Is this a planned sabotage? I know they have not been without blame, but it seems that all the reported problems tend to be extreme, and I have my doubts. Has Boeing really been this untrustworthy? I do not think so.

Thank God it is his power that keeps me safe and preserves me, I cannot give myself such assurance based on me.

I'm thankful that God has always had a plan for me, because my plans always seem to go off track! I pray to keep my eyes upon Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.

When I was spiritually dead, I had no consciousness of it, I was dead. Once I was made alive, it was so easy to think I did it. I did not choose to become 'born from above', I just was, by God's grace.

Mat 28:19-20 NRSVAue "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit 20 and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” I do not find a...
