I don't normally do so in threads, but frequently, she said things better than I and is worth the quote. Do you know how many threads Steven has started? 10 pages the site shows, then throws it's hands up in defeat.

The slaughter of sheep by the hundreds with the resulting "rivers of blood" had degenerated to a mere formality without repentance. Hence both John the Baptist's and Jesus's messages of repentance to the nation. Sure, there were exceptions, but you mentioned the norm. As Quiet said, Jesus...

Right there in the above post is all the evidence one needs regarding the slander of Satan against God's character. No-one can argue with the scripture you quoted. It certainly says everlasting punishment. But the slander enters into the equation when you change the nature of punishment. The...

By the time of Jesus, the accepted norm was heretical.

The only orthodoxy we are aware of was that of Anna and Simeon who were present at the dedication of the baby Jesus in the temple. Isaiah informs us of the state of the nation during his tenure, but I see no reason to presume matters had improved at the time of Jesus judging by His rebukes...

The Pharisees built the tombs of the prophets, and adorned their sepulchers, and said one to another, If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have united with them in shedding the blood of God's servants. At the same time they were planning to take the life of His Son. This...

According to Strong's concordance, worship has the powerful connotation of surrender, a bowing down in humility and obedience. I'm not sure how that applies to idolatry in relation to sports teams, but certainly I can see where you are coming from, inasmuch as sports for many is by far more...

Anyone care to define worship?

Which in reality is to be expected. It is the character of God that is under question in the earth today. Is He good? It is the character of God that is being slandered and attacked by Satan. Here... “5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of...

You don't get it. The Bridegroom is Jesus, you are a part of the bride, the church. Did you agree to Jesus's proposal? Why? Because you didn't want the alternative? That's the most compelling motive for marrying Jesus that you can come up with? If my wife had accepted my proposal of marriage...

Yes, God is a consuming fire to sin... And to anyone is still attached... it's everyone's choice. Cleave to sin and be destroyed with it, or be freed from sin and live forever. Turn ye, turn ye, why will ye die oh house of Israel?

Yes my darling I will marry you because I don't want to live with mum and dad any more. Thanks.

That's a very sad and incorrect motivation for obeying the gospel. Obey out of fear? That completely destroys the real reason God desires our company. Love.

We still haven't figured out who God is, let alone who we are.

Satan tempted no-one to eat of the tree of life. I don't care what Jewish rabbis taught. They taught Jesus had a demon and was worthy of crucifixion. I don't recognise their authority.

Agree. That selfishness is what we inherit from our forebears, and it is that selfishness that motivates our sinfulness. Otherwise known as our carnal nature, or flesh. Jesus was born with the nature of His forebears. He proved however throughout His life that such a nature inherited from His...

Eve did not eat of the tree of life. There were two trees in the garden. Eve ate of that tree which was forbidden... The tree of Knowledge. And if she had eaten of the tree of life after sinning, she, and us, would have become immortal sinners. Thankfully God set angels to guard the tree of life...

With every change in government in the US over the last 100 years or so, the pendulum swings between left and right have increased with each change... With each crisis of management...with each exaggerated election promise. And it's the ordinary people who are left to pick up the pieces. Of...

Bro, seriously. Since when have I ever disagreed with you, called you out, despised you, or refrained my own lips from speaking the truth regarding the CC as the true Antichrist of scripture?

It is age old conundrum. Are we sinners because we sin...or do we sin because we're sinners?
