    Polygamy

    The only problem with what you say Rex is that there are millions of such families in the world. While the churches err on the side of safety (which does cost you anything) they are dispised and rejected by a great deal of the normative christian church. Legalism erred on the side of safety...

    Polygamy

    One of the main problems with a doctrine like marriage is that we allow our cultural viewpoints and the theology we have been taught to cloud our judgement. I have given a clear proof text that shows that God accepts men with one wife and men with more than one wife yet none have said, "hey...

    Polygamy

    Hi DF, I do think it is important to defend the truth and the truth is that God does not have an issue with polygamy and neither should we. I gave as a proof text Matthew 22:32 which scripturally proves that God accepts polygamists because two of the three people with God at this present time...

    Should Christians Support Isreal?

    Hi DF, I think your article was well written. I do believe that Israel are God's people as a whole at this point because they are blinded in part and do not follow him. This all boils down to the scripture about the gentles being grafted into the natural olive tree. In my view, the gentiles...

    Polygamy

    Hi Rex, I like scripture quite a lot but I love God more. I realize that I only have an approximation of the truth and that the one whom I love is the way, the truth, and the life. Really, Rex, I love my Lord and savior and if you are a bible believing person you should love me too. Can you...

    Polygamy

    I am simply saying examine yourself before you condemn others. I think this main point is amply confirmed in the scriptures, wouldn't you agree? Additionally, I would say that the value of a thread like this is that if someone, say from another country where polygamy is common, is feeling...

    New Heavens and New Earth

    The reason that is important to put the doctrine of the New Heavens and New Earth in it proper place within our theology is that many scriptures that we may be applying to the end of the church age or even to the millennium may actually apply to the world to come.

    is the emphasis on teaching the word damming our souls?

    I like this one, "Then there is the person with a calling from God to teach the word with signs following. If he doesn't get a rheema word, he has nothing to say."

    Polygamy

    I was thinking about how judgemental some can be when confronted by polygamy. This is what I think people should consider when judging others who have more than one wife. It is written, "And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the...

    Team, I can see that your heart is in the right place and I don't feel attacked. You are very honest and I pray that god continue to bless you. Blessings, Justin

    My Scripture Can Beat Up Your Scripture

    Hi By Grace, Yes, that is a lot of good stuff to believe. I believe that God was speaking to angels and not the second and third person of the trinity. The cool thing about seeing that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself is that we see a pattern for us to follow...something...

    is the emphasis on teaching the word damming our souls?

    I think Jesus is God. Just not at His birth. Why are you posting here? Do agree with everything they believe?

    The gift of suspicion is strong in you, young padawan.

    My Scripture Can Beat Up Your Scripture

    Do you equate being Christ like as wanting to be like God? I don't. I equate being like Christ as submission to God rather than being like God. Jesus only did that which he saw and heard His Father do. He completely let God live His life through Him. Do you think that is wrong?

    is the emphasis on teaching the word damming our souls?

    For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. Petere 1:21 Jesus was not born God and is not the second person of the trinity. However, when he was filled with all the fulness of God at His baptism you could not...

    My Scripture Can Beat Up Your Scripture

    Hi team, I believe that Jesus is the son of God. I believe that God created the seed that impregnated Mary and resulted in Jesus being born. I do not believe in a pre-existent Christ. I believe the logos is the plan of God rather than a being that was with God from eternity. Jesus, for all...

    is the emphasis on teaching the word damming our souls?

    The only way to deal with Legalism is through direct experience with God. Only after we have experienced God should we venture to say "this is that."

    My Scripture Can Beat Up Your Scripture

    I am a Tabernacle Christian. Meaning, I believe in Jesus Christ as the son of God and my only savior. I am Spirit filled and speak in other tougnes as the Spirit gives the utternace. Lastly, I have partially entered into the tabernacle experience, the final feast, which is characterized by...

    is the emphasis on teaching the word damming our souls?

    The gift ministries were given until the perfecting of the saints. When the body of Christ comes into the fullness and stature of Jesus the leadership of God's church will diminish just as John did. Legalism kills. It destroyed the nation of Israel. Why, because it is man eating of the tree...
