    Faith-based tattoo: as a result of one, did you ever talk with someone? (Poll included)

    Legalism can be used on both sides of the divide. You are being legalistic in saying that "hardline legalists want to give young people a hard time because they have a Bible ref. tattooed on a wrist or because they have studs in their ears, or what ever. Hardliners do exist." They sure do on...

    How to Effectively Study and Interpret of the Bible

    I trust that God's peace will be felt during this time as you are overcome by events around you that consume your time and need to be present in those events. May the Lord continue to Draw you and your loved ones into His Loving Embrace so that you remain secure in your relationship with God...

    What are your thoughts on judging others?

    The problem is that many do not know how to ensure whether what they are doing or writing is justifiable or whether it can be judged to be contextually correct in keeping with the source on what is acceptable or whether it is just plum wrong in every sense. Sadly when you read a book, you are...

    Why don’t you believe Satan has been defeated?

    Yes, you can ask a question, but whether or not I will respond to your question will depend on what you ask.

    Why don’t you believe Satan has been defeated?

    MatthewG you have just promoted the book, Christianity's Great Dilemma: Is Jesus Coming Again or Is He Not? It is a book which holds to a Preterist's understanding of how God's Prophetic Timeline unfolds by claiming that all Biblical Prophecy has already been fulfilled. From my own research...

    New Covenant only for Jews?

    As is usual, Keraz uses his own "translation" and comes up with the wrong understanding. This is what the NET Bible renders for this one verse. Isaiah 5:7: - 7 Indeed Israel is the vineyard of the Lord who commands armies, the people of Judah are the cultivated place in which...

    Bible Study - Spiritual Peace

    @MatthewG I can tell you once, twice, or perhaps a number of times, but in the end it is up to God to bring the correction that might be needed in your life, just as we all need God's correction in our lives, and after telling you a number of times what I perceive is wrong in what you post, I...

    Why don’t you believe Satan has been defeated?

    But the posts that contain your truth, and not God's Truth, does interfere with the relationship that a persons might have or does have with God. Perhaps you should take note about what you are doing to other people with your personal hog wash of your truth's understanding. It is not pretty...

    Matthew, you do not offend me as a person. What offends me is the dribble, without understanding, that you post. Matthew, if what you post was in line with the scriptures, then there would be no need for you to apologies to me as I would not have any need to respond too what you post except...

    Why don’t you believe Satan has been defeated?

    The quotes below have been taken from what Matthew has posted as his beliefs: - Matthew 25 provides information as to what is going to happen during the Millennium/Seventh Age. Exodus 20:4-6 tells us why the nation of Israel was scattered to the four corners of the earth. It had nothing to...

    Yes, that is true, all of us have an ability to fail, but a wise person would know that it is better to keep ones trap shut than to remove all doubt by opening it. It seems that you are very judgemental in what you post in your rebuttals. Have a good day now. Goodbye

    Why don’t you believe Satan has been defeated?

    But the wisdom that I asked you to provide was to answer this question: - Now since I have not judged you as a person or your relationship with the "entity" that you worship, but have only questioned your theological presentation, your above response does not deal with the question that I have...

    How should we handle beggars?

    How should we treat/handle beggars? With the compassion that God has given us as His disciples. We as God's disciples do not know the life style that God has called us to live in. God may well require us to live as beggars in this world. If we were beggars, then how would we expect others...

    Adam's death in the garden explained.

    Hello, May I humbly suggest that many have it all wrong and a read of Ezekiel 18 may throw some light upon our collective understanding as this chapter talks of both obtaining "life" if we repent and keep God's statutes and everlasting death, i.e. the second death if we sin, even for a...

    Why don’t you believe Satan has been defeated?

    But as I have just stated in another of your threads, when you disagree with what others are posting you deliberately go about shutting down that thread. That in my opinion is judging others. If my timeline of when Satan will be finally defeated is flawed, then please present your rebuttal...

    Not true because you have openly admitted to deliberately shutting down thread by your false argument tactics or what ever because you believed it was in error. That is you judging others.

    Why don’t you believe Satan has been defeated?

    @MatthewG Is this another thread where you are wrong in your understanding? Has Satan been judged yet? I believe that the right answer is, NO, he has not as that is to happen in our near future, when he, along with the kings of the earth, will be judged and gathered together to be imprisoned...

    Bible Study - Spiritual Peace

    Just as I said above, you have no understanding of the process of obtaining peace either with others or with God. Peace is not a static quantity that we can obtain because it ebbs and flows as the peace process moves in its circular fashion. People easily give their peace up when influenced by...

    Faith-based tattoo: as a result of one, did you ever talk with someone? (Poll included)

    I watched a news item on the TV the other night and the report was highlighting a new Ambulance paramedic who was going through their training who was heavily tattooed, particularly on his face and neck. He had gotten his tattoos during a dark time in his life and now regrets have those...

    Bible Study - Spiritual Peace

    What the . . . It seems that the writer of the OP does not understand how peace between people and peace between people and God works. The "Peace" process in both cases are identical. It all depends on the acceptance of the terms of the peace agreement between the two parties. The peace...
