    A Challenge

    I don't see the connection between your statement re record, and the text. However, from my understanding there is most certainly a record of which the blood sprinkled before the altar and on its horns and before the veil was a type. That record is to be cleansed during the antitypical day of...

    My agnostic friend says: "I don't need it." - How would you respond?

    I don't believe Hobie was suggesting that people want to burn in hell. However, most people who reject salvation in Christ do so because they cannot abide Christianity. They do not want church, they despise holiness, hymn singing is anathema to them, going without sin and appeasing their carnal...

    A Challenge

    I have a challenge. Please read carefully the following, and then answer the concluding questions using Scripture only as the basis for your answers. 1 Peter 1:18,19 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received...

    My agnostic friend says: "I don't need it." - How would you respond?

    I apologise, you are right. I forgot that this thread was focused on unbelievers. And you are right about ECT being of interest perhaps to unbelievers, even the reason they don't believe. The Bible presents God as one who would value our friendship and love. Even a God who sacrificed Himself for...

    My agnostic friend says: "I don't need it." - How would you respond?

    The scriptures as I view them, are principally a revelation of God. I don't think learning about God will ever be exhausted. I don't think the scriptures however will be the only source of understanding of course, but in context of how our lives played out and how so much of history reflected...

    The rise of the Image of the Beast, America corrupted.

    Hobie correctly mentioned that America, as a national entity, would erect all image to the papal beast. We see that in the scripture wording itself.... KJV Revelation 13:12-14 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast (the Papal institution) before him, and causeth the earth and...

    My agnostic friend says: "I don't need it." - How would you respond?

    He chose to confuse people with the Bible? HE chose? There's a lot of presumption going on there. What if God chose to give the Bible as a teaching tool throughout eternity? Which would mean that a full understanding of the depths and riches of the scriptures would never be realised. On this...

    Is it okay to eat pork?

    Correction.... KJV Matthew 6:33 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Now my friend, ask yourself, even better, shall we ask God, "what is your righteousness"? He answers... KJV Deuteronomy 6:25 25 And it shall be our...

    Is it okay to eat pork?

    Isaiah is talking about a NT event. Peter did not, on account of that vision, pop down to the local Macca's and buy a hamburger and shout his mates a feed of scallops. Peter later explained precisely what the vision meant... That he ought not call people unclean... As they were candidates for...

    Is it okay to eat pork?

    You are free to have sexual relations with someone other than your wife/husband because you are "free from the law"? You are free now to worship a log of wood in the forest because that was an OT law which now doesn't exist for Christians? Does that apply to all the Ten Commandments, and all...

    Is it okay to eat pork?

    A couple of points. First, you will find no reference in scripture describing, pinpointing, listing, or mentioning unclean foods. Not one mention, anywhere. If God counseled anyone at all, even Noah, that certain animals were unclean, God was not saying they were food. In fact the opposite. God...

    What did Christ mean saying, God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

    The Creator of the universe is God, but wasn't my God until I chose to accept Him as my Lord and Saviour and was born again. Then He became the God of the living. Formerly, He wasn't my God as I was dead in trespasses and sin. Satan was my god. This world was my god. Sport was my god. I was my...

    What did Christ mean saying, God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

    Always good to have an actual biblical answer, as opposed to those that answer according to false traditions. The Bible indeed explains itself.

    TODAY you will be with me in paradise

    Sorry, but that's nonsense. So called conventional Christianity cannot validate itself... It is validated by scripture and the fruit of the Spirit. Nothing more, nothing less. In the last days, just before the second coming, there are only 2 overt groups. 1. Babylon the Great and her harlot...

    Ziggy's Coffee Barista

    There is so much truth in those lyrics, and it applies not only to the US. It's just as bad, if not worse in New Zealand, and heading that way fast in Australia. Britain, and Europe have their issues as well. There is ag global crisis of morality, goaltenders, political narcissism, and...

    Technically correct. They are asleep, waiting the resurrection.

    The True Cost Of Discipleship

    The cost of Discipleship is absolute. Jesus did not say that we can sort of follow Him. He did not say that we can retain those things we want, but give up those things we don't want. Jesus did not say that if we keep some habits, God would understand and let them go. No. The costs of following...

    My agnostic friend says: "I don't need it." - How would you respond?

    I didn't say Jesus couldn't communicate with people in dreams and visions. Islamic people are being converted every day as a result of encountering Jesus... Whether it is an NDE or otherwise, doesn't matter. But what I said is true in my post. The dead cannot communicate with the living. Demons...
