Its a good thread! But there are some things I am wary of.... First off is there is an urge for people to define or explain away ehat the Bible says. Second, the Bible may clarify itself in other places. Even amend itself. You pretty much have to read the whole thing!

Did you read the rest of the chapter?

Forgive me for not reading all the responses as I am coming in late. It is a thought provoking question, but silly? Maybe. Its an ignorant question for sure, but then again most questions are born out of ignorance. By the way, "ignorant" it not an insult. It simply means to be...

Wow! I like that!!!

I don't know... But the so called Christians have been warring for a millennium. Catholics killing Protestants and Protestants killing Catholics. The Bible speaks of denominations even in the epistles and the gospels and the holy men who wrote them didn't approve of the divisions. Luke...

Why would you ask me that? Did I say something that provoked you to ask? As you read the Bible, is it not true? The Pharisees didn't like him, the Sadducees didn't either. And all these "denominations" had doctrinal differences. Yet, they had a common enemy in Jesus.

We should realize that there were denominations in Jesus's day: Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes, Herodians... They didn't like each other much but they did finally unite.... To put Jesus down.

Like it, Soul Man! Things like knowledge and understanding that knowledge are spiritually very important. Grace through faith is important. Love is important, but so is knowledge and understanding. Add to your faith knowledge, temperance, virtue, godliness, brotherly kindness and charity. 2...

I know very little, if anything about what their role is today. However, they served a significant role in medieval times. They preserved and copied ancient documents, and before the printing press was invented, they produced nearly every Bible book that was around. They did a significant...

I agree that the gov't should suggest it, but not enforce it. However, they are pushing that line real hard! I work for the state gov't and it would be real hard for me to work if I wasn't vaxed. I am not sure they would let me in the building. As for the mark of the beast, I think micro...

Yea, but it is being forced on people. Nurses are being fired and/or shunned for not being vaxed, and 12 months ago they were heroes! A NBA player named Kyle Irving is not allowed to play (work) because he isn't vaccinated. I dont think this is the mark of the beast, but it definitely is what...

Cristo, I am not prepared to deny or support what you are stating, but I am leaning on your side based on what I see here in the states as well as my personal experience. First, I just read a report that the flu was at an all time low during the Covid epidemic. Given that the symptoms are...

Who?

The theme is we no longer forgive! John Gruden was the head football coach of the Raiders. A team that in the 70's and 80's had success as a bunch of hard nosed misfits but damn good players. Now, Gruden who is a coach who has been as high on success as they come and low as they can go is out...

No one is going to like this, but have you considered they might have merely been beasts of the field? It seems degrading to think of any human or human like creature as a beast... But I think not. Its actually a compliment. Beasts (animals) never fell from grace. They don't need saving...

You have me confused Bob. Qhile I agree with you here, we had former conversation where tou seemed to believe we should believe Jesus over Paul. My point of view is that it was never a matter of chosing one over the other. Perhaps I misunderstood you or missed a post you made. If so, Thank...

Well said. I have been in this debate before, and doubt I have convinced anyone of the truth. But then again, I haven't seen anyone able to give a reasonable answer to my questions. Neither "Lucifer" or the Prince of Tyre are Satan. They were both called "men" (as in mortal beings) whose...

What is a philosophical thiest?

There Choir is legendary, thats for sure! Romans 12 says if it is possible, as much as lies within you, to live peacefully with all men. I see no reason to not follow that with every day interactions with anyone: Morman, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, Atheists included. If the are descent human...

That's all you know? You don't know anything else? Well, you may know Jesus is boss, but you don't know what he said.
