True Christians routinely surpass the requirements of the Ten Commandments. Nowhere in the Ten Commandments are we told that by just looking at another with lust in our hearts, that we have committed what amounts to adultery--although the argument could be made that we are violating the...

But the Greek Fathers did. Yes, Satan and his minions continue to persecute the Church--they always have. But, the wrath of God, in the Tribulation, is reserved for those who are in the world. I already showed you that the martyrs are in heaven. In the 2,000 years of the Church's existence...

Jude 14 and 15

If many have "fallen for it"--perhaps it is you who are in error. The root Greek word harpazo (meaning, "caught up") is used several times in the New Testament. One of them was when the Spirit of the Lord "snatched away" the Apostle Philip after he baptized the Ethiopian Eunuch (in Acts 8)...

No, He will be meeting the Church in the air and taking them back to heaven to wait out the terrible time that will be coming on those who belong to this world, before He comes to judge the Antichrist, False Prophet and those who take the Mark of the Beast. When He comes to judge the hellish...

Not really. I am just being polite. Can't help it. I'm Canadian. :D

I am not a Charismatic, nor am I a Pentecostal. Did you think this would matter to me?

There's all kinds of error floating around among Christians. Probably wise to point it out rather than to demonize any particular group of believers.

There were unbelievers, such as Simon Magus, who were doing all of those things--just as there are today. Again--what is your point?

Keraz: "So Lady C, are you the arbiter of what scriptures apply to us and all the ones we should ignore?" No, I just follow principles of sound hermeneutics and one of those is to answer the question: To whom are these words being spoken? Verses 32 and 33 tell us exactly who they are--they...

Revelation 6:9-11--->"When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of all who had been martyred for the word of God and for being faithful in their testimony. 10They shouted to the Lord and said, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you judge the people who...

The most important sign is that the "fig tree" budded in May of 1948, it leafed out in 1967 with the Six Day War and the regaining of Jerusalem and the fruit will come when the nation of Israel finally accepts that Jesus is their Messiah ("in the end, all Israel will be saved"). Zechariah 12:10...

Please state book, chapter and verse where Scripture tells us we "shouldn't take it so literally".

Groper, I think you are trying to make my day surreal--but, you will have to express yourself more clearly--I just find you incomprehensible.

I have absolutely no idea what point you are trying to make.

It literally means, "the valley of Hinnom" and was the place where the Israelites sacrificed their children to Molech. In Jesus' day, it had become a garbage dump where rotting animal carcasses were thrown. The stench got so bad in the summer, that the people living downwind would set fire to...

Uh--where do I start? First of all, in John 3:13, Jesus is confirming the teaching that the OT saints were not yet in heaven. They were said to be "in the bosom of Abraham"--in Hades (the Greek word for simply, the "place of the dead." In Hebrew, it was sheol). In the teaching of the Jews...

Why should we not take Scripture literally? All of the OT prophecies (the ones that have been fulfilled) have been fulfilled quite literally. A standard conservative rule of hermeneutics is that something should be taken literally unless it is clear that it is figurative. There are some...

There have always been counterfeit "Christians" from the early days of the Church (see the Letters to the Seven Churches of Revelation). They will all be raised on the Last Day to face the Final Judgment.

I don't have any particular objection, if it is used in that way. But I do have something of a practical observation to make. I am a bit biased against it because it is permanent, and when tattooed people get tired of their tattoo, it is very expensive, time-consuming, scarring and painful to...
