Yes, that is true, but I don't think the subject is regarding whether God uses poor or rich people. And I really don't like that word "use". Nothing personal to you because everyone has become use to characterizing our relationship with God as "God using us". But God is not so much interested in...

Since Jesus said "THIS DAY thou shalt be with me in Paradise", I will believe that He was in paradise that very same day.

Many, if not most of the Servants of the Lord through the centuries were poor in material possessions but were blessed according to their faith in spiritual richness. People always want to think that true blessings are riches. Yes, UHCAlan, as we have been blessed we are to bless. Again, does...

If the Sabbath will endure forever because it is called "eternal" then won't all the Jewish feasts and circumcision also endure because it is also called eternal in Gen_17:10-14 If the Sabbath will endure forever because it was an eternal sign between God and his people, then shouldn't we also...

Malachi_3:8-12 DOES NOT TEACH TITHING AS IT IS TAUGHT TODAY!! And you are making the same mistake that preachers who manipulate and terrorize people do...reading into the passage and not considering the context. And they say that if "you rob God He will not rebuke the devourer for your sake."...

I spoke about this but you ignored it Raeneske. 1. Why is the Sabbath the only one of the ten commandments that are said to be "throughout your generations", the usual phrase that indicates it was a temporary ceremonial law only for the Jews? Probably why the weekly Sabbath commandment is...

Yes, the destination is Christ and I see Christ in everyone of the 66 books. I do not replace the Holy Spirit with the Bible. I cherish them both.

Yes, our punishment was death. God told Adam, that the day he eats of the tree of knowledge of good and evil he would surely die? That was his punishment and mankind's punishment ever since. That death was spiritual death and separation from God that would lead to physical death, too. I have...

that kind of thinking has led many to to judge other brethren who may be poor outwardly (yet rich inwardly towards God) as weak in faith. Do you think Christians who are poor are not blessed? Is your definition of blessing, one who has and abundance of money and possessions? Don't you think that...

Except Christ died a perfect man. He was not intrinisically a sinner. Our sins were laid on Him. He took our place. He was not a sinner therefore when He was unjustly killed, He never saw suffering or corruption. He said to the thief, "This day you will be with me in paradise" and to God the...

Amen, soupy. The NT is about Giving not Payment (Tax system). Someone asked me what I thought about Hebrews 7 and Melchizedek and the fact the Abraham paid a tithe to Melchizedek? This goes to the heart of the matter. This is not so much about tithing as it is about setting people free to...

A man in Houston was robbed on the street yesterday and after he was robbed two men in a Mercedes and a German Shepherd came to his rescue. Wasn't a good day for that robber. Story here: So, after I post this a red window pops up which says: Click this to view your arrest record. LOL. I guess...

I cannot disagree with anything you say. I think for the most part we must be speaking past each other. You have a topic in your head that you are speaking too, and I must not be addressing the same thing. Shalom brother, Axehead

I can only echo what MJR says, Raeneske. He's got a hold of it. Now that is what I want to show you. How the Saviour can give you rest not just on one day a week, but 7 days a week. Who wants rest just one day a week? It is clear to me that you do not understand or experience the Rest of Jesus...

If Paul did not teach the same Gospel that Jesus taught and demonstrated then Peter or James or John or others would have corrected him. Jesus would have made sure of that. They both taught the same Gospel. Critics of Christianity attempt to pit Jesus Christ against Paul to push their own...

Jesus spoke to them as if they knew about the Law (Torah) and the Prophets and He even spoke to them about Solomon and the Book of Psalms. He mentioned Jonah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and many other books, too. I must be reading a different Bible than you. Rev_21:5 And he that sat upon the throne...

Raeneske, I do believe that you are very sincere in your beliefs. That is evident to me. But, I see much "mixture" and "confusion" in this post and so I will continue to try to elucidate where the confusion seems to be and what the mixture is. I do believe we are going to get this "ironed out"...

Yes, many are called but few are chosen. Why are few chosen? Because few respond to the call. abc...123. Man likes to make things difficult. But we are to abide in the simplicity of Christ. Jer_9:24 is one of my favorite verses. It goes well with these: John_17:3 And this is life eternal...

Jesus' death is what saves us not His suffering. We were reconciled to God by His death not His "sufferings in hell", which are non-existent. Jesus did not suffer in Hell. By saving us from death, He saves us from sufferings in hell so there was no need for Him to suffer in Hell, only to die on...

I like this outline study of the Sovereignty of God by James Fowler. It's not what you think it might be. SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD I. Biblical usage of the word "sovereignty" in reference to God. NASB A. Old Testament - Heb. word malku - "king, kingdom, reign, royalty" Ps. 103:19 -...
