    What are God's laws now for?

    I wouldn't call it man-made. God put the dietary commands for the Israelites good. Something we must remember is that we live in a different dispensation to the Law. I don't have time atm to explain as I have to go to bed. I will quickly say, however, that there are a few basic doctrines that...

    should christians be members of a political party

    I'm not certain which three men it was that you are referring to, but I do admit that I sometimes do judge politicians. I think you do. Who else would realise it's so complicated? Jesus is the message for the mess age.

    Death Penalty

    I don't think it says anything about it at all! Considering that the majority of people are not Christian, I would assume that this law is still very relevant. As I have previously stated, people must be held responsible for the actions or there will be total chaos just like there is now. On the...

    What are God's laws now for?

    At the end of the dietary laws in leviticus, God said that he wanted a distinction between clean and unclean, and that they were to be holy even as he was holy. Lev 11:45 For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy...

    Can anyone recommend some good Christian music?

    I really enjoy Casting Crowns. They use their music to convey the message of Jesus to the world very effectively.

    In the Dark

    I was cycling home today at dusk, and I was so worried that a car might hit me. You see, it was traffic time and I didn't have any lights with me. I hadn't anticipated coming home so late. Therefore I was on my bike with no lights at all in near total darkness. I felt like kicking myself for...

    Death Penalty

    We are a lost race. Without Jesus we will eventually fall apart, for he is holding us together, and we are seeing right now in our society. When judgement day comes, I don't think anyone is going to be able to give an excuse for what they did. They won't be able to blame their tradition, their...

    Make men in our image...

    Well, where is the Scripture? I do know what the Scripture says. 1Co_15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all That's ok. I realise that. If it is such a foundational part of the...

    should christians be members of a political party

    You can't judge a person you have never met. Even then, only God can be the ultimate judge. Moreover, until you have actually been in politics, you have no right to say that they are crooks or such. I get sick of hearing my relatives and friends bag politicians. True, some of them are not that...

    Death Penalty

    Excellent point. I love this type of discussion! lol. To speak from a Christian viewpoint, I would say no. It is amazing what can happen when Jesus touches a life. Interestingly, while some called it harsh, I think that back then, the crime rate was not bad at all! You will note, however, that...

    Make men in our image...

    Dear Friend, I never stated that Trinitarians deny Jesus is a personage. I said that the doctrine of Trinity robs Jesus of the title of Almighty which the Scriptures give him. You can call me a heretic, declare the doctrine that I have been supporting a heresy, call it whatever you will. I have...

    Make men in our image...

    Trinitarians don't say that they deny Jesus as God. Please, don't misunderstand me. If we look at the Trinity in the light of Scripture, the Trinity makes Jesus less than the Father and the Holy Ghost because while the doctrine says that they are all co-equal, the Scriptures make it obvious that...

    Death Penalty

    That's where we tread on tricky ground. What we deal with now is not so clear cut. We have messed our society up so effectively! I think that if she was maybe that could be taken into consideration, but there comes a certain point that we must step down and say no. You see, there's nothing wrong...

    should christians be members of a political party

    Actually, something I would love to do is get into politics. One day perhaps. The only reason politics is dirty is because people chase power for the wrong reason. There have been many great men in politics. Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, John Howard, Winston Churchhill to name a few. (I know...

    Death Penalty

    I'm not sure if I stated it, but I would not apply the death sentence until it is 100% clear that the murderer is guilty. In many cases, the murderer fully admits, and with our fickle law system, gets off with murder for just a few years in a cosy prison! In one horrific case here in Australia...

    What are God's laws now for?

    Hey! Let's hear it! Another Aussie! lol. You obviously understand a little about Aussie politics. I wouldn't rip of Tony Abbot too much. He does try hard and he certainly is not an amoral person like Gillard. You can't believe everything the media says. Most of it is one-sided.

    Make men in our image...

    There is one place that mentions all three together. Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: All Jesus was doing here was re-enforcing the fact to his disciples that he WAS the Father, the Son, and the...

    Death Penalty

    About whether Christians are not called to determine punishment, Samuel himself, killed Agag, the evil king of the amaelekites. He didn't just kill him, he hewed him in pieces! That sounds really gory! Jesus himself went into the temple and threw out those who were making money out of the...

    Who Is Jesus?

    You have spent a great deal of research, unfortuanately, such a view is untenable in the light of the Scripture. Now, after reading, it seems that you think I believe in the Trinity. Let me set it straight. I do NOT believe in the trinity. I believe that there is One God, his name is Jesus, and...

    Who Is Jesus?

    I think that some have been a little judgemental here, but please, watch what you write. In your statement, you said that Jesus is NOT God, but the Son of God. Such a view is vigorously contradicted by Scripture. If the Word of God is the only thing that will stand, may I be so bold as to ask...
