We have volition/ will, but we aren't free to do what we want. Our actions have consequences. Romans 13:1 says God appoints all rulers/authorities. So how does that work with free will? Before Judas was born, God knew exactly what he was going to do -- betray Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. God...

The significant events and detailsbwothin are predestined. If man really had free will, then he could freely do anything he wanted. But his actions have consequences. "The wages of sin is death", so we are either slaves to God or slaves to Satan. Does that sound free? If it was truly free, then...

Nice to you meet you too. You are new I see. Welcome to the "Everything is Debatable with Christians Going Off in All Directions FORUM". Is that a photo of you holding the sloth? Interesting creatures, evem the Bible comments about them - cute though.

We must give the Holy Spirit all the credit, but I must say you have learned wisdom and are quite receptive to His teachings!

That's a brilliant thought ... Did God give that to you or did you figure that out yourself?

Nah, there are many others: Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5 "Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for...

I forgive him. We all learn from dumb things we do and say. He was a young 30 year old Pastor at the time, now he has wisdom.

They rest from work and worship other things or themselves. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom. God had to be strict when He laid down the Law. Do what I say or die. "Worship me or die!" In a sense this is the ultimately decision a person must make in life, to...

The wages of sin is death and that will apply to all unbelievers. If you don't believe in Christ, ask for His forgiveness and are washed with His blood, you will die in your sins.

Remember they were slaves for over 400 years, required to work 7days/wk if Pharoah so willed them to. God showed them mercy, freed His people from bondage and broke their 7 day work cycle and gave them a break to worship. It was a LAW to them to abide by -- they werw the test case for the...

God is soveriegn! Read Job and understand that Satan can't do anything without God's permission. As we read through Revelation, we see a plan, details, a specific order of events, seals, trumpets and bowls ... an order to everything that happens and so Satan's doing is in check - part of the...

I sense that something is coming! I suspect that Russia will not only assist Iran to attack Israel but they may set off their doomsday nukes that will create giant tsunamis to destroy USA and European costlines as well as in the Medditeranean. Iran has the nukes and is likely ready. This will...

In the Old Testament we see this concept of the Bride: “Therefore, behold, I will allure her, Will bring her into the wilderness, And speak comfort to her. I will give her her vineyards from there, And the Valley of Achor as a door of hope; She shall sing there, As in the days of her youth, As...

TRUE. And soon we will be rid of this world and our flesh and see with our eyes open. "For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought...

You are trying to wiggle out of this, making stuff up ...installing facts? Trying to rationalize your way through it: " The Trinity cannot have different wives" and then turning around and claiming "THEY ( the Trinity) are married to Israel". This lacks wisdom. You lack the depth of the mystery...

That is not the question to ask, nor the concept to understand. Eph. 5:22-32 talks about rhe wife's submission to her husband in marriage as the head of the houshold as we mtue Church submits to Christ. It talks aboit the husbands love and sacrifice for his wife as Jesus' love and sacrifice for...

Well, you can view it your way. I choose to accept the concept as the Bible presents it and not discard it as "Oh that's just a methaphor ... a marriage is not how we are to think of our relationship to Christ."

A metephor does explain reality. A comparison of something in this physical realm that is tangible, gives us understanding of the spiritual realm, God, His love, our relationship with Him is likened to a very powerful relationship that we have on earth, marriage. It is family. As we experience...

Thanks for the chapter correction. The Bride (the glory of the Lord) is mentioned and her dwelling place, the New Jerusalem. In verse 27 clearly reiterates who she is, those who are written in the Book of Life. Their glory shines like a precious stone. Btw, on 9/2012, you identified the oil as...
