What silliness. First of all, I would be surprised if any of these charges stick, although it would require only a single corrupt judge or jury with TDS, I suppose, but regardless, Trump is not an Israeli citizen. And even if he were, why on earth would he, or anyone, build a third temple...

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I just thought it was an odd thing to point out, so I thought maybe you meant something by it.

Not sure why you felt the need to point out that they are Mormons. What did you mean by that?

Yikes! Please don't have kids. Kids need parents, and if you're going to consciously choose to not be a parent, then you're robbing your own kids of the stable leadership they need. Kids are not adults. Don't treat them like adults.

You say "fat shaming" as though that's a bad thing. We should be ashamed of fat. That shame motivates us to get healthy, in the same way that pain motivates us to seek healing. It's a bad thing, with a good purpose. So, when my boy was young, I put him in soccer because he liked to play...

Ah. Now it makes sense. I think if you'd used the term "outside the gate" rather than "without the gate" more people would've understood what you were saying. Interesting thing about those outside the ark, as 1 Peter 3 tells us that Jesus also offered salvation to those people, who were...

What is this "without the gate" you speak of?

Your notion of what kind of God "deserves" worship is irrelevant, when that same God decides your eternal fate. Having said that, not all Christians believe in the doctrine of eternal torment in hell. Myself, I believe we either have eternal life or eternal death. Death being a state that...

Fair point, and again, something that we as Christians need to deal with. Our salvation can not be, and is not, dependent on having heard the name Jesus. Paul even told us that those who wandered in the desert, were following Jesus (1 Cor 10:4), yet they wandered a thousand years before Jesus...

I appreciate your detailed OP about the way God slaughtered people. As Christians we shouldn't shy away from this part of history, and this aspect of God. I don't know for sure why God chose the path that he did, but I could throw out a few ideas, none of which would satisfy you. However, in...

Did you know... The KJV incorrectly translates the word "sheol" as hell, 32 times. The NKJV is slightly better, translating "sheol" as hell only 19 times. The NIV correctly translates the word as grave, death or depths. The KJV incorrectly translates the word "hades" as hell, 10 times The...

I'm guessing English is not your first language, but if you want to start a thread you're going to have to make it a little more interesting. If you want to start a conversation, start a conversation. Don't expect others to do it for you.

The more you speak, the more clarification I need. At first I thought you were denying the existence of errors, but now it seems you acknowledge them. At the same time, you're saying "they are the errors of evil men". Are you saying the writers of the Bible were evil men? Or are you...

I can give you examples of contradictions. They're not hard to find, so I'm not sure why you're so adamant that they don't exist. Why is this so important to you?

Exactly my point. Much of the Bible was written down as second hand knowledge. This is why we must not perpetuate the notion that the Bible is "the inerrant word of God". It is not. And knowing this, we can't be super dogmatic about every single word in every single verse. Also, knowing...

But that generation did witness the destruction of the temple, and a time of great distress such as had not happened since the beginning of the world, and signs and wonders. So how can you say that generation did not witness any of the events? Is your entire argument based on the lack of a...

I think it's clear that the men who wrote the Bible were inspired by and motivated by the truths that they knew. Some of these men received prophetic messages from God. One of them even saw the face of God the father, and one witnessed the miracles and teachings of Jesus. Others wrote down...

So, you're saying that, at some point in the future, if I don't move to Israel, I will cease to be a Christian?

o.k. but that does not prove your point that the Bible is "the word of God". It just proves that the teachings of the Bible can lead you to God. I'm not trying to be difficult here, but I'm just trying to make the point that, as Christians we tend to hold onto this notion, that is not...
