    Spoken Word and Written Word are the Same

    Was Jesus lying when He said the Scriptures speak of Him? The pharisees were not deceived by the Scriptures, they were deceived by their own hearts. It's not the Scriptures that are at fault but our own hearts. Jesus said that they did not have the love of God in them and that they received...

    The End of the World has come and we missed it!

    Pretty simple, indeed. Preterism is a bucket with a lot of holes.

    Tithing - "How to" not "whether"

    Do you preach physical circumcision? Do you preach temple sacrifices? If the tithing law was to be continued, why didn't the Apostles mention that to the Gentiles in Acts 15 (The Jerusalem Council)? Where is physical circumcision which is part of the law still preached in the NT? Does your...

    Tithing - "How to" not "whether"

    No, I was not the one that started this. Tithing is a "payment" system and we are not under any payment system in the NT. I have considered what the scriptures teach with an open mind and am open to new arguments if you have any. Tithing in the OT has to do with the Temple and the Sacrifices...

    Why Should the Church Endure the Great Trib?

    Of course we are not "appointed unto wrath." Is anyone proposing that God's children will endure His wrath? But we are promised tribulation. In the world ye will have tribulation, but be of good cheer..." Two lives that endured great tribulation are Corrie Ten Boom and Richard Wurmbrand. You...

    Sabbath

    Rae, We should rest in Him everyday. I'm not sure if you will ever see that the days of the week are no longer as important as the One who has come. I hope you see it, but for now it is clear that you don't. I think part of your problem is that your theology is tied to a your denomination and...

    responding to shooting.

    This article is a surprise. Sure am glad she is mentioning "mental health". "Let's start addressing the problem," said Heitkamp. "And to me, one of the issues that I think screams out of this is the issue of mental health and the care for the mentally ill in our country, especially the...

    Why Should the Church Endure the Great Trib?

    The Lord is all about reaching down to people and making Himself known to them. He is all about saving people from themselves and ultimately a Christ-less eternity. First, God sent Jesus and allowed Him to suffer unimaginable suffering in order to be a witness to mankind of the Father's love...

    Tithing - "How to" not "whether"

    And where does the Scripture teach the Christian to tithe? Please show me where Jesus and the Apostles teach this. The OFFERINGS of Malachi are not money but rather the sacrifices which the NT declares have ended.

    Sabbath

    What do you mean secular labor? All of our labor is unto the Lord, now that we are His. Col_3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; To the Christian, all that he does now, he does unto the Lord who enables us to be fruitful in every good work. Col_1:10...

    Why is Hell Eternal?

    I would love to believe in annihilationism, Rae, but find it difficult to believe in it when the Bible does not talk about it or even allude to it. 2Th_1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; Destruction is...

    Is our soul electrical ... ?

    The Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus cannot be compared to electricity and is something that Scientists know nothing about if trying to understand it by their 5 human senses. Regarding life after death, Paul writes: “Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at...

    Tithing - "How to" not "whether"

    I like everything you said, except this: "Use your wallet as a lever to influence church policy." If we don't like to be manipulated, then we should not turn around and use our money to manipulate or control, either. We influence others through prayer, living righteously and speaking the truth...

    Spoken Word and Written Word are the Same

    "The letter of Holy Scripture is like having a photograph of a person whom we wish to meet at the airport. The image in our hands is not the living person and cannot adequately portray his living reality. But it enables us to recognize the right person when we see him and prevents us from...

    responding to shooting.

    Yeah, it really is becoming very obvious that someone, or many are trying to cover up for the pharmaceutical industry. How many ticking time bombs do we now have walking around in the good ole USA? Will they disarm the public yet keep feeding these SSRI, (anti-psychotic) drugs to people? I say...

    God over free-will

    Thanks Andy. I see that is 30 minutes. I will save it and try to find some time to view it.

    Why is Hell Eternal?

    Hi Justin, The existence of Satan and Hell are two concepts of reality that are quickly being extinguished today in society and sadly in the Church. Since salvation only comes in the Body (because that is where we sin, too) it stands to reason that one cannot be saved after they leave the body...

    is the emphasis on teaching the word damming our souls?

    The only thing that will damn our souls are the choices we make. We will not be able to stand before God and blame others. Whatever teaching comes your way, you are responsible for bringing it before the Lord and asking Him if it is from Him. Jesus and His disciples warned us many times about...

    WHO were the many warnings in the NT written to?

    They were written to ANYONE who has "EARS to HEAR." And "whosoever will, may come".

    God over free-will

    The most simplest way for me to view this subject is: 1. Only God has absolute free-will. Meaning He can do whatever He wants when He wants and no one can "tie up" His will. What He wills, will happen. 2. We don't have free-will we have freedom of choice. A very important distinction. For...
