Prom 2014, I read the different view points on capital punishment and scriptures used but I would like to go on a different slant for a minute. Please think before answering. Across the world there are many who are raped and torchered in ways we cannot comprehend, where your very life means...

Let me try to briefly state agreements, disagreements and we can go from there. I fully agree sin is an effect and not the cause. I fully agree we struggle with sin till we die. I fully agree we can come back to God with a repentive heart as you stated. (grafted back in) I fully agree it is only...

13:8 starts a different lead. I believe you see no love in punishment. Do you believe in an-eternal hell for all the disobedient? Do you believe a period of pain would cause them to love God? Do you know US prisons have over a 80% return rate? Some learn their lesson while sadly most only learn...

Thank you Will. Certainly you have clearly stated where you stand and for what reasons. For many of your thoughts I am in agreement. However, using just Romans 6-8 we can clearly see your side of things (mainly 7) but also a bit expanded to include moral behavior. I would like briefly to go...

Romans 13:4 if you do what is evil be afraid, for it (the government) bear the sword for nothing; for it is a ministry of God; an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. -- Yes, we always need to forgive on our behalf, whether asked to or not just as Christ died for all but only...

Wormwood, thank you. That was a fantastic biblical and enjoyable read.

The bible supports capital punishment as do I for many reasons but that is a different subject. Great article.

I was just thinking of that story. Seems there had to be commitment on both sides for the deal to be complete and in this case never was. A crazy question for you all. I have not yet a solid answer. The Holy Trinity is a anchor for the Christian faith. God says many times over if we forsake Him...

Thank you again for your thoughtful reply. upon your return in which I wish you the best in your travels, can you tell me if my summery of what you believe is correct? You believe that once we accept Christ truly we will not fall back into sin and our morals will began to change for the better...

I have been to the casino a few times but never liked what I saw. People dropping money like winter drops snow flakes. Casinos make big money because they are not trying to give it away though state law requires x amount. It is not a normal businness. You do not pay a set price for a set...

Thank you very much Will for that long thought out reply. Some of your points are valid. Sadly however, though you acknowledge we will never have permission to sin, you believe nothing we can do can train wreck our faith. I can tell you from someone who has walked away from Christ before and...

Lol. Bad cell phone... Yes, we are free, but only when being led by the Holy Spirit.

2 Cor 2:1-11 is a passage I love. People take the thou shall not judge so out of context to excuse their actions. Here we see Paul saying I may of made you bitter but now I am happy I did because you have headed my warnings and obeyed sound doctrine. Correction is commanded for those in Christ...

Lev. 26:15-17 If instead you reject My statutes and if your soul abhors My ordinances -- and so break My covenant, I will in turn -- set My face against you. Heb. 10:28-29 Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the, testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more...

Thank you Dan57. I really liked the second link. I always thought that way too.

Gen 3:7 they realized they were naked and covered themselves. This tells us naturally now it is shameful to be naked in public. Gen. 9:21 Noah's sons thought it disrespectful to see their father naked. I promise this goes beyond one's own father. Exodus 20:26 a shameful way to approach God (if...

I once went to a small minority church who believed in tithing and offerings THREE TIMES every Sunday morning. No one could or did explain why. The pastor knew scripture atleast as good is the scribes. He was unreal on that level. Giving for leader and church support for the purpose of equality...

One huge benefit with a large church is the ability to join so many small groups within the church for different reasons but all in Christ. Also service times are more than once a week. Another reason, whether good or not, as many people feel uncomfortable being the new one in town so to speak...

Mark 8:31 Mark 9:31 Mark 10:34 Matthew 27:63 1 Corinthians 15:4 Luke 24:21 All of these show your statement is false. Jesus was crucified, then on the third day after His crucifixion, Jesus arose again. Mark 16:9 Wrong my friend. All other scripture states the first day of the week is...
