    Tithing

    Walls, I don't think God would ask someone to do something that is no longer required (tithe). But your post has put in my heart to make an extra effort to give to the food banks in my area, for that is where our giving should go. God bless!

    One saved at instant of faith, baptism, both or ?

    Jesus, when speaking to Martha, "he that is dead and believeth on me shall live". How is it a dead person can believe? He was speaking of those who were born dead, spiritually (all of us). Jesus went on to say, "He that is alive and believeth on me shall never die". Believing on Jesus can give...

    The Lie Crumbles - Evolution

    John, There is very little doubt that science proves your point. What is surprising is that many (most) Christians can not accept this because they have been taught a falsehood since they first stepped into Sunday school. The bible is all about the covenant God made with man, not about the...

    The Rapture: A Biblical Study

    Wormwood, I am not a Greek scholar, it their interpretation, not mine. Greek word for thousand G5507 ÷é́ëéïé chilioi khil'-ee-oy Plural of uncertain affinity; a thousand: - thousand. The phrase essentially means: "The kinship of this word to other words is unknown." In other words it is...

    The Rapture: A Biblical Study

    Trekson, Everything is based of hermenutics, so when Jesus is speaking to the Jews, he is speaking about the age they were living in, law. When the apostles wrote the esiptles they were writing to the early Christian/Church, or those living under grace. Eph 3:21 Unto him be glory in the church...

    The Rapture: A Biblical Study

    Trekson, Mat 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Greek word for world is: G165 áé̓ù́í aiōn ahee-ohn' From the same as G104; properly an age; by extension perpetuity (also past); by implication the world; specifically...

    The Rapture: A Biblical Study

    Wormwood, Tim LaHaye is just another false prophecy teacher. The Christians will be the ones that are left behind, not the wicked. Mat 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in...

    Is the resurrection past or future?

    Joh 11:23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Lazarus would be resurrected. Joh 11:24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Martha knew he would rice again in the resurrection at the last day. Joh 11:25 Jesus said unto...

    Ten Reasons I Do not Believe There Will Be "an Antichrist"

    It not only would include present day teachers, John said they were already there in his day. Here are the four scriptures that speak of antichrist. 1Jn 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we...

    Prophecy paradigm shift needed

    Saint, The kingdom of God in in us and we are the temple. When we are born again the Holy Ghost takes up residence in his temple. That is spiritual. Jesus told Martha that if we believe we will never die. That is spiritual Jesus told his disciples that he would come in judgment against his...

    Prophecy paradigm shift needed

    Saint, These scriptures speak of the New Jerusalem. It is the spiritual kingdom.

    Prophecy paradigm shift needed

    Retro, Until I had studied a bit about hermeneutics, I had little understanding of God’s word. That understanding came when it became clear that there is very few times that one scripture will not be explained by another. It is also very evident that God was involved in the translation of...

    Revelation

    Hi Tex, Prophecy teachers always go to the book of Revelation to expound their theory. This is not to say, as you have, that one can not make comments and ask for other views. My view is this. The book of Revelation was written to the seven churches of Asia at the time of the writing. It is...

    Prophecy paradigm shift needed

    Retrobyter, Thank you for sharing God's word. If Jesus said his kingdom is not of this world, then it is not. God is a Spirit and those that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth John 4:24. Joh_3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and...

    Reasons why you should never trust the doctrines here.

    We are indeed saved by Grace, but it doesn't end there. 1Ti 4:16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

    Prophecy paradigm shift needed

    Retroybyter, For one to be correct, they must agree with scripture. Joh 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. God's kingdom is a...

    End Time Deceptions

    Randor, Truth is the word of God, and that is power. Luk 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. The truth is that Jesus was telling his disciples that when they saw Jerusalem surrounded then know that desolation was nigh...

    End Time Deceptions

    Old jack, One of the biggest "deceptor"s is understanding the word of God for what it says. Most prophecy teachers seem to think everything written has to be decoded. That just isn't true. Examples: When Jesus said "this generation" he was talking about his generation. When Jesus said " some...

    Soul Sleep

    Tex, God told Adam not to eat of the tree of knowledge and if he did he would die that day. He ate and died that day, all of his seed were born dead. Joh 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: Jesus told...

    World easiest tech to read bible

    Reading the bible is good, but reading it with understanding is more important. Hermeneutics needs to be taught first, then one will not fall into all the false teachings of today's churches.
