Jesus does not contradict the Bible but our doctrine often does...let's not get the two mixed up.

Dear Zebra, I really like your posts...very well thought out. Blessings, Justin

The five ministries of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher. When the body of Christ comes into maturity these ministries will fade away for their will be no need of them. In other words, if you are in one of these ministries then you are supposed to be working yourself out of a job.

Can nothing happen that is not already in the Bible? Was that all that God had for us? My word...people act like if you can't find it in the Bible it does not exist. "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the...

Dear all, Why do you think the Pharisees rejected Christ? Are we better than them and if so why? Are there modern day Pharisees amongst us? I personally believe that the Pharisees rejected Christ because of jeleously and legalism. I personally believe that much of the church and...

Dear Z, You wrote, "if we look through the Scripture, we see that polygyny was practised by men of God who were far closer to God than most of the Christians who have lived will EVER be." Well said!

Dear R, Obviously, you and I are on two different pages when it comes to interpretng scripture. I am a literalist whereas you seem to take much more liberty with the written word of God. I think there can be no meeting of the minds on this issue between us but I appreciate your imput and the...

Hi R, I personally think that here were those within the churches I attended who were trying but bound by the system they submitted too. I did not see the fruits of the spirit manfest in them very much except the last church I attended which exploded. I think that the church system is...

I believe that their main function is to break the pride in people. To yield yourself to such strange manifestations you need to really put away all your pride and just do what the Holy Spirit is wanting to do even though it makes you look silly. The day of Pentacost, even though people...

1. God did make provisions for polygamy...look up wives in the Old Testament. 2. Ok, I can see that R made a point about how God gave Pharoah and the sodomites mentioned in Romans over to evil. Just how does that apply to the men of God that are renouned from the Old Testament? Are you...

So R, Are you really comparing God giving David Saul's wives to Pharoah and Sodomy? To me that is ludicris. What do you think "into your bosom? means. To me it means intimacy for does a man take anothe woman "into his bosom" if they are just friends? Your pretermined position seems to not...

Dear R, I will give you this verse again for your edification, "And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 8:11 And add, "I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the...

Dear Brethren, The Bride of Christ is a common theme in the New Testament. Here are a few scriptures that speak to this. “For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.” 2 Corinthians 11:2 “And...

Dear R, I gave you a proof text on it...why did you not acknowledge it? If you really seek the trut you must accept it when you find it.

Grown up Christians, as you put it, are concerned with correctly dividing the scriptures and not just with foisting their cultural viewpoints upon others. They care about other humans and seek to bind up and heal rather than to pass judgement on situations they know little or nothing about.

I am so glad it is illegal to burn people at the stake.

Legalism does not listen to reason for it knows the truth so hard that nothing can assail it.

Hi R, If you will read the context of what happened with Solomon God was not in favor of kings multiplying wives to themselves for political alliances with other kingdoms who served other Gods. It was not the problem that Solomon had many wives but it was that the foreign wives were from...

Dear R, This is not a balance viewpoint that you have given. It seems to be more of you trying to prove a point rathe than let the scriptures speak for themselves. God is one. Did you even read what I wrote? Would you say such things to the greatest men in the BIble?

God has given us the Old Testament and the New Testament to form the foundation upon which we build our faith. Our Father says, “I AM the Lord they God, I change not.” Therefore, the word that He has spoken does not change either. However, though the word of God does not change our...
