I agree that all the word of God should be respected by believers, but, I think you would agree that the ceremonial law applies only to Israel and only when the sacrificial system is in place. As well, the dietary laws and other restrictions like it, do not apply to Gentiles. Those who would...

Skywriter is so typical of homosexual activists--accuse everyone who opposes them of being "closeted" homosexuals.

The Hebraic mind often looked at "salvation" from a physical point of view--the children of Israel were often saved from death by Yahweh. Thus, when Peter was walking on the water and faltered, he cried out, "Lord, save me!" he was seeking the saving of his mortal life. We tend to see it as a...

And, if you look into the statistics, an extremely high proportion of homosexuals were sexually abused as children. The cycle continues--and since each pedophile is probably going to molest 300 or more children, one can understand why all of the men of Sodom were homosexuals who demanded to...

Don't you think it is interesting how conservative Christians are insulted and hated and "schooled" by "liberals" on our supposed "evil" and yet we are the ones who get accused of "hating" them and being arrogant?! :rolleyes:

Did Jesus say anything about homosexuality? He didn't need to--He was sent to the "lost sheep of Israel" and they understood Torah's prohibition on it (and all other such practices). The pagans and heathen had no such prohibitions and the Jews were disgusted by them.

"Skywriter" is deceived--or maybe not deceived but trying to deceive Christians. He is trying to sell the notion that loving one's neighbors extends to approval of everything they do--even if it is an "abomination". He is a false teacher--"a ravening wolf". But, there have always been those...

In fact, God expresses disapproval of transvestitism (men pretending to be women and women pretending to be men). How much more would He oppose "trans-sexualism"? And now we are confronted with "trans-humanism"! :eek: I don't even particularly know what that is (and probably don't want to...

Yes, I'm beginning to think that "Skywriter" is only here to antagonize Christians. He certainly expresses a lot of self-righteousness--he thinks he is superior to Christians who find open, flagrant sin offensive because it offends their holy God.

Nor do they defend any amount of sin--ever.

I'm fully aware of what I said. If you have a problem with it--please spell it out instead of taking vague potshots. The devil accuses those who are in Christ. I said that there are no adulterers, alcoholics or divorces at present--but if one should come in who struggles in those areas, we...

Is that what you hope? The Lord Himself purifies and is purifying His Church, through the power of the Holy Spirit that He gives to those who obey Him. (see Acts 5:32 and John 14:21) Those who have no intention to obey Him will not have the Holy Spirit as their "Helper."

We are not under the law but under grace. You have misrepresented what I have said and worse, what that Scripture references. I did not say that any of us were perfect--far from it. What I said was in contradiction to your accusation that we had adultery, alcoholism and divorce among us. I...

Many who are skeptical of the establishment of the Millennial Kingdom, say, "Why would God even put the Millennial Kingdom in place--especially with a return to Temple worship in Jerusalem. Jesus was the once-and-for-all sacrifice." I can think of reasons: 1) Israel was not only promised the...

What the evolutionists say does not and cannot work. If you want to stymie an evolutionist, say, "Okay, we're going to suppose for a moment that it is true--describe the process by which one species becomes another species, with all the steps included." They will not (because they cannot)...

The Millennial Kingdom must have mortals as part of it. The ruling "Prince" in the description of the Millennial Kingdom contained in the Book of Ezekiel from chapters 37-48, says that the Prince will have sons who gain an inheritance from him. Jesus has already told us that resurrected people...

Maybe a more definitive thread should be posted on the characteristics of cults and how various groups meet the definition of a cult? Some unbelievers think that ALL Christians are in a cult. That was the way that Stalin and his goons represented Christians in the atheistic Soviet Union.

Good article. I especially appreciated the observation that like literally ALL cults, the Christadelphians teach the same two lies: 1) That Jesus, as a created being, was not divine (and also not pre-existent) and, as such, needed salvation from sin. 2) That adherents must work for their...

Yeah--that tends to happen in congregations who are all, "Spirit, Spirit, Spirit". Like the old adage, "Bible alone, you dry up, Spirit alone you blow up, Word and Holy Spirit, you grow up." ;)

If you are referring to those of us who object to practicing homosexuals being a part of church congregations, you are mistaken. We all know that we sin from time to time. But our goal is to continue to allow the Holy Spirit to lead us to greater holiness. That is different from accepting...
