It seems to me that the burden is on you. If you disagree with something I wrote, then it's up to you to disprove it. Why do I have to be an "authority" on a topic to talk about it? I'd wager none of us here are authorities on anything, yet we still voice our opinions. Even if I were an...

My advice is to find a good church or a good group of seasoned Christians to help mentor and guide you. Forums are admittedly not the best place for new Christians to be around, IMO. There are a lot of competing ideas out there on the internet (not all of them good), and it can really get...

Thank you for the comments, but if it were that simple, would we have so many disagreements about what it says? Would there be so many different denominations? The thing is, it tells us what we "need" to know, but it doesn't tell us everything we "want" to know. Even Paul admits, "We see through...

There are degrees to friendship. I have many acquaintances and people I'm friendly to, but very few I'm actually close with. For Christians, it's a careful balancing act. Friends influence each other, so you have to be selective with who you associate with. This is basically what 2 Corinthians...

I never claimed to be an authority. Do you have evidence to refute my supposition?

That's a whole separate theological discussion. My statement was directed at the OP for his faulty support of the Khazarian theory.

Not all, but some could be distantly related to Abraham due to the diaspora. That's not fantasy; it's science. Ashkenazi Jews have Semitic DNA. That's a fact. The addition of European admixture doesn't negate their Near East ancestry. And yes, some may even be related to Moses or, more...

The "newness" of the rapture is brought up a lot, especially in regard to the pre-trib rapture. The rapture debate is a fairly recent development in Christian history. The primary eschatological focus of the early church was on Christ’s imminent return, whether the millennial reign of Christ was...

You keep repeating this, but I have already debunked it. DNA research does not support the Khazar theory.

Semantics. Eve's name means "life" or "living" because she is the mother of all humanity. It has nothing to do with Adam.

Yea, well, too many people get too caught up in legalism IMO. It ends up being more about works than faith.

That's one way to look at it.

Deep state involvement is everywhere but people can't seem to make distinctions and lump everyone together (like the author of that original thread). For example, I'm American, and I love my country. Does that mean I love everything my government does or the people in it? No. But I can separate...

The serpent made two claims: you will not die, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil. The first was untrue on two accounts. It did lead to a physical death, albeit many centuries later, but there was a more immediate spiritual death. The second was a half-truth. They would know good...

I think the Bible makes it clear; it is black and white. If you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, you will be saved. It's simple but also very specific. No need to make it more complicated. “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy...

The worst thing the West did was economically empower communist China. The theory was that it would make China more democratic, but that tiger isn't changing its stripes. I wouldn't doubt if there was some nefarious agenda behind it. I think what has to be realized is that every country with...

I think even non-Christians are suffering from "pride" fatigue.

I guess we should start at the beginning. I would define sin as anything contrary to the will and nature of God. When Adam sinned, it caused a spiritual separation between man and God. And because Adam was the first, the master template for us all, that sin nature was passed down to all...

That used to be true. Now, you can't believe anything you see either. AI is making it easier to deceive. At a certain point, the line between reality and illusion will become indistinguishable.

My first thought when hearing about this is, how are they funding it? This is a huge project that would require hundreds of millions of dollars. Where is all that money coming from?
