That would be hard to answer. First, I get up to 8 hours a day in the word, so I'd miss it terribly if I couldn't. However, I do have many days sprinkled here and there where I don't get into it. After years of this, there is a familiarity with the whole of it that is hard to explain to those...

I just perused a locked topic, in which a poster stated that Jesus had sin in Him, or He couldn't be tempted. Sin is NOT temptation. Yielding to temptation is sin. Being tempted is not sin. "The soul that sins, it shall die." "The day that you eat of it, you shall surely die." "and sin...

I fully agree with that scripturally correct answer, as shown in my edited version of it. The part that I deleted I do not agree with. I do not scripturally agree with the teaching of the church on the rapture, but also do not scripturally agree with your conclusion on it, either. I do...

Some intersting statements, such as Rev. 12:1-6 not yet having happened. Intersting how the baptist said that the axe was even then laid to the trees, etc.. Right at that time when the Baptist lived and Christ did His thing. Interesting. Doesn't fit a lot of our beliefs. Just like Joel...

It's really interesting how the church has usurped God and thus the sheep are believing according to their earthly teachers. We have the most common assumption that the 70 weeks are consecutive. However, when reading scirpture, and even in the passage which states the 70 weeks, it is clear...

I'm looking forward to it, friend, and the learning that I might do in Christ through you.

You state that the last trumpet calls the dead forth from paradise, and you then use 1 Cor. 15:51 to supstantiate that. However, it does not state that we will be called forth from paradise. It doesn't state at all where we will be called forth from. Now you can take another verse, "to be...

WANTING everyone reconciled and HAVING everyone reconciled are two different things. Different words. Different meanings. To equate the two to be one and the same is foolish both linguistically and spiritually. Acknowledging that Jesus is Lord is NOT the same as professing Him as savior...

Yes, Roman Catholocism is blasphemy and heresy, for a fair number of reason. And it would seem, by the scritpures also, that there is a fair bit in Christendom that is also heresy and even blasphemy. If it weren't so sad and serious, it would almost be hilarious how so many have pointed the...

Not to start a debate here, as this isn't necessarily the appropriate venue, yet I think it proper to give some input for the forum statement of faith sake: Peter wrote that the writings of Paul were scripture, it would seem, both in the Greek understanding of the extant passage and virtually...

I see now that I should have posted this under the thread started by Ham regarding input on the operations of this forum. Oops. I see no way to delete this thread. Perhaps this could be moved to the appropriate thread?

Just some thoughts here. Because it envolves everyone, moderators and non mods, I thought that I'd post it here and seek open response. It is good when a thread gets locked, as they need to be from time to time due to the attitudes/content given in some of them. However, when a thread is...

Do we help the murderer to commit murder, or to escape from the law that seeks to impose justice upon the murderer? That, in and of itself, is a crime. And rightly so. Do we help the adulterer to commit adultery? Why then do we dress and add things to our persons so as to be "attractive"...

I must dictionarily [sic] and scripturally disagree with that statement. There are two seen problems with it. First, the baptism of the Spirit is commonly equated to be the birthing by the Spirit. This is not correct. Baptism and birth are two wholly different things. Different dictionary...

This thread was started by Richardburger, clearly stating the scope. Next, Rb clearly stated his[?] position on it, and gave scriptures for said position. This is the proper format -- state the scope, give the content of one's position for that scope, and substantiate with scripture. As to...

Bling has not taken the hatchet to anyone or anything. Bling merely posited some thoughts and asked some questions. I find it quite revealing that certain persons can and do post their thoughts, and when others post thoughts that don't agree, and post quite civily, making points and asking...

I thought that scripture was quite clear on why our prayers were impotent, ie, not answered. It seems that we read them, but when our life would be condemned by them, we choose to ignore them and debate why, when the scriptures have already told us why. It also seems that to state these...

(Jam 1:27) Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit orphans and widows in their afflictions, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. The first portion of what it is shows that it does something, proving it's faith by it's works. Others see these things...

How do we live by the Spirit? By being born of the Spirit. There's no other way.

It is a manifestation of the kingdom of God.
