    Threat to Democracy?

    Indeed! I am no expert in constitutional law, but removing someone for the ballot seems unconstitutional. I think we're just waiting for the big top circus to come down, where the accusers become the condemned. The rats are just jumping into the trap.

    Teachings By The Asps That Hide Here

    Davy is not one to reason, but perhaps you are. By the same logic Jesus on the cross would be a failure. But no, to the contrary, His reign is not of this world in the ways of this world, but is unseen, not seen. Of the 6000 years and the 1000 years, according to the measure given in the...

    3 Levels of Scripture: Luke 5:17-25

    Paul, many times, taught on 3 levels, appealing (1) to the unsaved and to new babes in Christ, (2) to the more mature, and (3) also included perhaps even often spiritual insights not visible to many. And Paul wasn't the only one who taught this way. On the first level, there is a message that...

    1878

    Indeed, Jesus came "but for the house of Israel", finished and said "It is finished"; and then referred to "another fold" which He "must also bring"--not a remnant of Israel, but "another" house entirely. Then began "the times of the gentiles."

    . WE are God’s stewards responsible for what happens in this country.~ Dems Total Disconnect from Reality.

    Aaaah... He simply said, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And it is also written, "the government will be upon His shoulder."

    Jesus kept the Sabbath

    Yes...the statements made are not made by me, but made by the Word of God of the Word of God, and only quoted by me. The stretch, if it is to be considered a stretch, is a stretch made by Him.

    Jesus kept the Sabbath

    This is true...but do consider that it all comes under the form of parables, told and only explained to some, and only to all in spirit. Such is "every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." Psalm 78 Give ear, O my people, to my law; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth. 2 I will open...

    Re: The RCC is not perfect

    His "strength is made perfect in weakness"--not Buddhist or Muslim weakness, but Christian weakness. We are the chosen, a light unto the gentiles (nations). But do not misunderstand those of other nations or even religions. God is good, and has made allowances for all according to His own...

    Jesus kept the Sabbath

    And you are entitled to your assessment as well...not unexpected. But you should reread what I wrote--I was not speaking of "Which is greater?" referring to my own testimony--but quoting the scriptures. You're a good man, but what did you think the finish of the mystery of God as He declared to...

    Jesus kept the Sabbath

    You too are missing the point. John 3:11 Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. I have been speaking the words of scripture the whole time: "Which is greater" (a point and test to understanding given to us by...

    Jesus kept the Sabbath

    You're missing the point. When was the commandment given? It was given thousands of years before the fulfillment of the foretold first creation week which was a foreshadowing of what was to come at the end of the ages (when the foretold "finish" is to come). The point being, humanity would need...

    Maine

    Sounds like secession from the USA.

    Jesus kept the Sabbath

    "Remembering" is not the commandment, but simply a reminder to "keep" the Sabbath...which is the actual commandment. "Remember to keep" it. "Keep" being the operative word. Thus, you are under the wrong impression regarding the Sabbath. Are there worldly benefits to having a day of rest every...

    Spirit Challenge: 3 JOHN

    1. Who was John writing to? 2. What is the nature of his letter? 3. Who is he writing about? ...Did I mention this was a spiritual challenge--not for what is seen, but what is unseen?

    Questions for Sabbatarians

    Sadly...with all the amount of arguing and discussion on this topic, it would appear that those who insist upon keeping the Sabbath practice, see the immediate reference to it--by some sort of short scriptural attention span, and simply do not reconcile it with the rest of scripture. Meaning...

    Jesus kept the Sabbath

    We have been referring to the first resurrection, or as Paul put it "we who are alive and remain" (in the world and in the flesh, in service, after entering into Christ and Him in us). Death first is certainly an option.

    Jesus kept the Sabbath

    Indeed, and yet many apparently do not understand that the commandment to "keep" the Sabbath--is to keep Christ once He comes into them rather than rejecting Him. This is one of those "which is greater?" comparisons Jesus made. In this case, it should be understood that keeping the Lord of the...

    Jesus kept the Sabbath

    Apparently we are not communicating. To continue running a race after the finish line, is to deny that the finish line is the end. Jesus is the end. Therefore, we to whom Jesus has come and we to Him, we stop running (stop practicing religious repetitious acts), but enter into His rest. Why...
