    The Breath of Life

    I just go by what the Bible says, and this theme is reiterated throughout Scripture from Genesis to Revelation. The breath of life is essential for all living beings. Until God has breathed into the fetus the breath/spirit of life, God says it is dead! "For as the body apart from the spirit is...

    Isaiah 3:14

    But I still need my Apple iPhone, and as I look at some of the parts used in my HP computers, most of them come from SE Asia; and my house phones are made in Malaysia. Choices are very limited to non-existent!

    Isaiah 3:14

    I have never heard that recommendation. Depending upon whether you also have a significant pension plan, 2 million might do. I the area where I live, just a basic home costs 1.5 to 2 million, which doesn't leave much left over for stuff like food. So like Joseph who saved up during the 7 years...

    Isaiah 3:14

    I have made my living for the last 30 years from investing in the stock market, as do most of my Christian friends and family. In essence it means being a shareholder in a number of successful businesses. I have never considered it a sin to be a part owner of a business, or being successful.

    FORGIVENESS FOR ISRAEL

    He was not talking about the physical seed of Abraham, but spiritual Israel. Through Abraham's seed, all nations will be blessed, and we are beneficiaries of that blessing.

    FORGIVENESS FOR ISRAEL

    Israel is under the Abrahamic Covenant, under which Scripture declares that ALL Israel will be saved. "For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Well . . . I don't know what Bible you are using, but that stuff about judges it is not in mine. Jesus used that passage to support His own diety: "The Jews answered Him, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God.” 34...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Picking one piece of the picture and ignoring it's context within Scripture is a rather flawed way of looking at truth, and is inconsistent with: "I have said, Ye are gods [elohim]; and all of you are children of the most High." Psalm 82:6

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    I don't understand the issue here. Since we are all created in the image of God, we are all gods, "God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him;" Genesis 1:27 "I have said, Ye are gods [elohim]; and all of you are children of the most High." Psalm 82:6 And that was...

    Death penalty.

    Not missing on my computer.

    Death penalty.

    The death penalty was mandated by God under the Mosaic Law. If it is good enough for God, it's good enough for me.

    Gabriel’s message to Daniel is extremely relevant

    You have written many words, but I have no idea what you are talking about, nor the point you are attempting to make. What you have written has nothing whatsoever that has to do with building of the new Temple as laid out in Ezekiel 40 to the end of the book.

    Why the pope could not possibly be the Antichrist

    Enoch >> quotes Orthodox Judaism: *As opposed to Christianity, the Jewish Messiah is not a savior. The Jewish Messiah is not a divine being. The Jewish Messiah will not come to repent us from our sins. All these ideas are dismissed and considered heresy in Judaism. That might be the teaching of...

    Why the pope could not possibly be the Antichrist

    Enoch said >> unless this man is a Jew he cannot present himself as the *true* Messiah of the Jews, nor enter the temple. Of course, he can always pretend. He does not present himself as Messiah. He "exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth...

    Why the pope could not possibly be the Antichrist

    You left out someone very important! Esau, the progeny of Abraham and Isaac. And I fully believe the anti-christ will be an Edomite, the progeny of Esau. Has that ever happened before? Yep, who was king of the Jews when Jesus was born? Herod, an Edomite! Who will be ruling Jerusalem when...

    WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN A NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH?

    It has been a while since we saw you here. I am surviving, but with all the lockdowns, life isn't all that much fun these days. >>The thief on the cross was saved prior to the birth of the N.T. Church (the Book of Acts Church) because although Jesus was close to death he was not yet dead... A...

    Should wives submit to their husbands?

    Scripture provides a very simple chain of command: God + husband + wife + Children So as a wise manager who married someone really smart, I shared all the authority given to me by God, to my wife. That worked out rather well for the 50 years we enjoyed together.

    My public condemnation of Robin Williams years ago.

    It wasn't the drugs that killed him. It was getting off the drugs that did it!
