excellent post. Praise the Lord!

You do too, do you not? And just where does the opinion of the world have any bearing on spiritual things? Yes. And I've seen many different bluprints spread before me here "from" the word of God on this one topic alone, and they are by those who claim to be sons of God standing on the word...

Well, we all know the saying, Location! Location! Location! When reading God's word, perhaps a first step is to see Context! Context! Context! When looking at the passage, "not forsaking the gathering....", perhaps context would lend a different understanding of that statement than the...

The observation and question re various and even conflicting views by those who each claim to be taught or led by the Spirit, is indeed one that must be come to grips with. Here's just a smattering of base thoughts on it.... God will not contradict Himself. That does not mean that persons...

I hold that the values/premises of operation and thinking valuations/gyrations of atheists are a spitting image of mainstream Christendom. It's often extremely difficult to see any potent differentiation between the two. Examples? Well, let me give a bit of an introduction to them...

Scripture states that Moses was the most humble man on the face of the earth. Remember that passage? So look at Moses' life: he had little to no tolerance. And that is not in any way in conflict with godly humility. Moses hated sin. All of it. And that is not in any way in conflict with...

prop 8 is a very, very good thing. The "church" is openly full of sin. It is in dire need of sharp discipline. If it doesn't receive the discipline, that it is clearly not of God at all. That's in scripture somewhere. Right? Believers not only constantly throw spiritual tantrums...

Being born of God, I am OF the church. Since I don't have out of body experiences, then wherever I go, I am in church, especially since it is Christ in me, the hope of glory. The statement of being out of church is only possible when looking at it in a severely limited scope, with a very...

Scripture states that prophecy is for our encouragement and edification. However, it seems that most often it is used wholly contrary to that. Thus, it begs the question, "are those who use it for discord and tearing down, walking right with God?" How can someone use that which God has given...

The statement that "not one stone...." was in reply to what? The disciples' statement of "look at these building, master! Aren't they impressive?!" Even a modicum of research reveals that Herod expanded the whole temple grounds area. And it included structures that were not part of the...

Sometimes I can't help but see that there is just way too much spiritual doodoo. It's been nice chatting with y'all.

A previous post mentioned 360 day years, or a solar year. We have those who speak of a lunar year. Intersting. We see throughout the cultures past, that they often used the lunar, but it was obvious to be errant, and significantly so, thus they constantly adjusted. If they didn't adjust all...

regarding the vision that the angel came to give clarification on: (Dan 2:28) But there is a God in Heaven who reveals secrets and makes known to King Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed are these. (Dan 2:29) As for you, O...

Kind of like "Still, however, even out of the rulers, many did believe on Him. But because of the Pharisees they did not confess, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God." (John 12:42,43) "He who loves father or mother more than...

by the way..... Isn't Daniel 9 info from the angel an explanation of a previous vision that Daniel had? It states that right in that passage, so I believe that to be true. So just what vision was it an explanation for? When that is understood, then take the vision and see if any parts of it...

"Shall we suffer in the tribulation period. I think not." Maybe we should start thinking. LOL It might be prudent to not read this stuff. Or any stuff on it. Scriptures state that we are to be taught of God. That God is our Father. That we have no need that any man teach us. That...

I love you, Watchman. I, too, haven't been to church for years -- it so grieves the Spirit in me that I just can't stand it. So, my wife and kids haven't been to church for years either. And we sure have a blast in the word every day. What a blessing to have kids that find even Leviticus...

You gave a good example, bud02, of just what I had posted. Let me nominally elucidate..... Depending on which encyclopedia one looks in, we have Herod's temple started in Jan. of 19 BC, or in 20 BC, or in 21 BC. Why the discrepencies? If in encyclopedias, surely the statements are correct...

So what happened to the thread that it was locked? And that all but the OP were deleted? Shouldn't the whole thing then have been deleted, including the OP? And we are left in the dark as to why. Do we learn from this? No. We are left guessing as to what can or cannot be posted. And can...

And where, bud02, did "they" get those numbers? The date for Christ's birth and death is assumed, based almost exclusively upon an assumption regarding astronomy and eclipses. Many scholars have serious issues with the pervasive assumption. And how did they get the date for some things, like...
