Don't need to. I am more than a conqueror. Christ covered my sins. As for me, all things are lawful, but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful but I am not brought under their power. My behavior and actions are well under the the level of living peacefully among all men...

I beg to differ. You responded. It is a difficult topic because it was perhaps not the best way to bring it up. But despite that, it was right to bring it up. Grace covers all sins of the flesh, but the evil in this world is growing.

Because that wasn't the question. I never thought to ask myself if I was a real Christian. To me, it's a rediculous question. But since you brought it up, I thought you may be able to give me the criterum. You are the one bringing up the question. Therefore, since you are going to be the...

Well golly gee. Never thought to ask myself that question! Can you give me some kind of guidelines? What does a real Christian do?

Cool. It's a pretty sensitive subject. I know it took a lot for me to respond to it, so it must've taken you alot to bring it up. The culture of hatred is a good way to put it. I am not against hate. I hate the devil and his works. I am against hatred against others with no reasonable...

Sounds like this is more about terrible music than about black vs. white culture. It takes talent to rap and produce rap music. Please don't misunderstand me on that. But the lyrics can be terrible and IMO are often demonics. Its one thing to tell about the trials of living in the inner...

The beginning of "what"? Relating that to the Bible, there isn't a verse in the Bible that has the phrase "before the beginning". Now, certaing things may have happened before the beginning of "something" (even before the creation of planet Earth). There are plenty of things God did "in...

Enoch You actually are proving my point here. In the text you quoted me in, you should realize this is my opinion; not that of the general public at the time or even today. It's mine. Therefore it is the point I am making. And that point is that the topic of predestination wasn't what he...

Well, ok... Here comes my Calvin commentary again! People hate him because of Calvinism. But he wasn't a modern day Calvinist. He didn't even come up with that TULIP thingy. He is best known for his stance on predestination, which 1. Is Biblical as he discussed it in HIS writings; 2. He...

Another odd thing... David lied. Broke one of the 10 Commandments. Ok. What about Jonathan ( one of my favorite lesser known characters in the Bible). He didn't honor his Dad, Saul. Did he? This was in Chapter 20 when he warned David of his dad's intentions.

There are other funny or weird incidences about this story. It, by the way is in 1 Sam 21. For one, David was given Goliath's sword, because he went out without any men or his own weapons. Anyone know about that sword? It weighed 15 lbs and was meant for a man nearly 10 feet tall. A "big"...

This is an interesting story and I will have trouble keeping it short. Was David lying? I say he deceived. Is that lying? Well, if a prophet of God entered a city with the intent to pick a new King of the nation (when there already was a sitting King), what would happen to him? He would...

I have memorized many chapters. Not just verses, but whole chapters. Why? As a hobby at first. But it has benefitted be spiritually as well. Everytime I tackle a chapter in this "hobby" it also forces me to understand it. I spend much of my time researching what the author meant.

Good to hear! You later said you don't agree with everything you pastor says, and that's fine. I have a slightly different attitude. If I don't agree I tend to sit back and wait for further explanation. Somewhere in Ecc 13 it says to hear the conclusion of the whole matter. So I tend to sit...

You asked the question, but the answer is given in verses 11 and 12. But you have to look at verse 8 also. He gave gifts into men. One of the gifts he gave to some men (all men, really... And it means people in general here) is apostles. He didn't give some men the gift of apostleship. He...

Fair enough, and I agree. Thanks for the clarification.

I don't know where I was when this discussion started, but I would've jumped on some points here. I notice in your quotation of Hebrews 6 you included the word "discussion": What I noticed is that you later said: The scripture you quoted didn't say we are leave behind (abandon?) The...

What about: 1 John 2:20 KJV But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. This is 1 John... Written to " little children"... Not the apostles. I agree that we are not all Apostles and not on their level. That doesn't mean we are on a lesser level, but rather a different...

From my perspective, that is more the definition of an argument rather than a debate. A debate can be a good thing. In high school and college there were organized debate teams and they competed against other schools. It was absolutely necessary to listen to the other point of view in order...

Based on the scripture, I believe many have an incomplete understanding of judging. The saints shall judge the world and even angels. So while we do have that verse in Matt 7, there are other verses to consider. 1 Corinthians 6:1-6 KJV Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to...
