Matt. 24 also gives excellent insight.

-- Exactly correct. Pug, just because Nomad doesn't agree with you on how the scripture reads doesn't mean he is "abusing the word." He was entirely respectful to you and you reply that way. It is therefore somewhat humorous to hear you complain about your treatment here. Nomad, Pug...

But anyone else who posts ends up facing the same scrutiny or being told "Sorry, that wasn't actually what I was asking about." These "call out" threads where people ask what others believe without telling first tend to grow and often lead to ambushes.

"I am through with politics." - Aspen

Feel free to lead by example.

-- Pug, if you look back, you will see I was talking dragonfly....not you. The very fact that you missed that point shows your words are more accurate than sarcastic. -- Oh, I have no doubt whatsoever that that is true. Hopefully one day that effort will eventually pay off for you... --...

-- I have never met a single Pentecostal who things that Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a "panacea to avoid sin." It is an important first step in a person's relationship with the Holy Spirit and in obtaining the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. I have never seen anyone use it as "a badge of spiritual...

-- Sorry, but the Luke you speak of was not the Luke that wrote the Gospel. But you confirm you feel that the Bible is wrong. That says it all.

-- Yes, of course I know that. You missed the point of my post completely. Pug said: "Errrrr. :| If you still sin, you aren't yet born again." I was pointing out to him he was wrong. Paul was obviously born again, but he himself confessed to sinning - present tense. If you read the...

You say: "Errrrr. :| If you still sin, you aren't yet born again." Paul said - present tense - that he still sinned. He was talking about himself in that scripture. Result: Either your statement is incorrect, or Paul was not Born Again. Enjoyed your spin attempt, though.....

So, sharing the Gospel with them in love is "condemning and dehumanizing" them, simply because the Gospel says what they are doing is wrong?

"We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is...

Pug, I am pretty sure you know what you are trying to say specifically. Would it be possible for you to give a Reader's Digest Condensed Version for the rest of us? Pug, I am pretty sure you know what you are trying to say specifically. Would it be possible for you to give a Reader's Digest...

-- Exactly correct. I know a number of people who are absolutely convinced that it will be a Pre-Tribulation Rapture, but still have life insurance, pay into their 401K, plan for their retirement, have filled out wills, etc. Some because they know it is their responsibility, and some because -...

-- As far as "Both" I would have to agree with Aspen. As I mentioned, my nephew felt he was gay at "roughly seven or eight years old" (his words). He had never been bullied, sexually assaulted, neglected or ignored, and had grown up in a loving, supportive nuclear family. I do however also...

-- Jehovah is just fine with Jehovah or Yaweh. -- If you wish to be exact, it was nowhere near three and a half days. He died Friday afternoon. He emerged Sunday morning (the day after the Jeweish Sabbath) "After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other...

-- lol Excellent point. Thanks, Rach.

Actually, Mr. Obama didn't (couldn't) do that unilaterally. The Congress passed it and he signed it. So, unless that Supreme Court says no, it is now legal for the US gov't to arrest any citizen off the street and hold him indefinitely without charges and without being required to allow him...

-- What? No offense, but............wow. Please tell me you're joking.

My nephew said he knew he was attracted to boys instead of girls "at roughly seven or eight years old." He will tell you he had a normal childhood. His father and mother loved him very much and never hit him or verbally abused him. He states he was never sexually abused or even picked on when he...
