I explained that. The word used for "servant" as it was used for Nebuchadnezzar is not the same for the word used for minister. In other words, for all practical purposes, Nebs was NOT a minister! He was a slave. Check the Hebrew definition. Heck... Learn the overall concept! People here...

You really aren't understanding the numbers. I will take the blame for that as I really didn't think I explained it that well. 6 times out of 42 times where the word "minister" is used in the Bible it DID NOT refer to a member of the clergy. Twice it called Joshua the minister of Moses. Was...

First, let me deal with your Jeremiah verse on Nebuchadnezzar... Yes, he is called a servant. The Hebrew definition in the case is manservant, bondsman or slave. That's a bit different from the Hebrew word for minister, which is (of all things) "minister". Now the Greek word for "minister" in...

No... First let me say I like @JohnDB... We have had wonderful conversations on the stock market and he's helped me greatly... I also see his spiritual side a bit in those conversations. Sharing your beliefs is fine up to a point. The Bible says not to cast your pearls before swine, so I...

In case anyone else besides TheslightestID has ANY doubts on what I believe, let me set the record straight: I do believe people should obey the government. I have Bible verses that I have provided to back me up. Now I also believe that if a government is intolerable, people have a right to...

What!?!?! Really???? Man, I quit this board for 6 months because I didn't want anymore attention and I was tired of ridiculous arguments from people looking to one up another. So if you are indeed charging that to me, you are mistaken. Are you aware of the possibility you might be wrong...

Romans 13:4 KJV For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. How simple is that? Its talking about God's ministers.

I am not interested in what seems to be the norm for most. I am interested in what God meant. Wow! You just seem content to go with what the masses believe. Interesting.

I looked at a few other versions and while some of the do mention "governing authorities", I see nothing that indicates its a political government. The question is does a Church have a government? The answer is yes, and it was defined and set up by Paul. It may be a far cry from what most...

Well, he said quite a bit. On gov't he spoke about paying taxes, true. And as I said there are other verses about obeying gov't. My point is that Romans 13 isn't one of them.

Romans 13 is NOT about obeying earthly governments. There are verses about obeying them, but Romans 13 is about obeying God's government, which involves following his called and chosen ministers. Not Caesar. Not a the king and not the President or Prime Minister of a country.

That's not me. Its Clint Eastwood. The Avatar is for the enjoyment of another member (Helen) and myself. I like the old Clint westerns, so its why I chose it. But its her story to tell. I am a strong believer in grace so I wouldn't lecture someone on their choice of music or entertainment...

Why? Do I seem like the lecturing type? I don't listen to much music outside a few select gospel songs, but I was a regular 80's hard rock guy until I got into punk. I still do appreciate those bands though. Not a Potter fan, but I did enjoy the first movie... Nothing against it though.

Kiss's "Rock and Roll All Night" definitly if you are having a rock and roll party. Its like a theme song.... Joan Jett (I love Rock and Roll), Van Halen, The Beatles (Twist and Shout), Whitesnake (Here I go again on my own), you could even theough some Led Zepplin in but be careful... Nothing...

well, did you go to her with this? If you want forgiveness, you must ask. Matthew 7 speaks of this. Be reconciled with them before offering your gift before God. You should PM her or perhaps even openly apologize. I have done so on a few occasions. One time (not on this forum) the person...

As it turns out, I owned a small amount of Wendy's stock before it became the lastest meme stock! Yea... I made some good gains on day one with it and now 2 days after its still higher than it was but not as much. I pretty much knew what was going on with this... So did I sell? No...

No, I don't, and if you are going to make that charge you should defend it. No, they don't. They are supposed to point them to Christ. More specifically, they are supposed to bring them to Christ's spokesman and ambassador. In other words, they are a schoolmaster bringing them to school- the...

Naw... It won't. You gave an honest answer. I'm a little-ish guy... 5'8" and roughly 150 lbs. I am an endurance athlete but I am not ultra lean... Still got small love handles but I have a muscular build. Brownish blond short hair, green eyes. Roman nose, wrinkles starting to come in just a...

Well, I will tell you what I look like... IF... You tell me what you think I look like based on what I say (no... I don't look like Clint Eastwood.... My avatar is for another member a friend on this board).
