    Is there a way for me to know when someone has responded to a post without having to comb through all the posts?

    Christ and The Death Penalty

    I believe you are correct. The church is not a court where people are accused, indited, tried, convicted and sentenced. But there is a level of discipline which is necessary to sustain the pursuit of holiness within the congregation. What do you make of the following passage? 1Co 5:1-5 (NIV)...

    Christ and The Death Penalty

    According to the Law of Moses, (Lev 20:10 NKJV) The man who commits adultery with another man's wife, he who commits adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress, shall surely be put to death. Jesus did not revoke that law but He did expose the hypocrisy of the the people...

    Three Days and Three Nights

    Mat 12:40 (KJV) For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. This is the only time where the phrase "three days and three nights" is used. It is addressed to the scribes and Pharisees, Jesus'...

    Allah is the anti-Christ

    << Elohim, the hebrew name for God was also part of the Canaanite pagan pantheon. So how are they any different? So are Jews evil and Elohim the anti-christ as well? Sounds antisemitic to me.>> Sounds like you need a course in logic. The Jews has many names for God and, since the Canaanites...

    The tree of knowledge, a similitude of the law

    Ok. I give up. What's a TOGOKE and what colors do they come in?

    The Didache and the Law

    The Didache is the most ancient example of catechists from the first century church. You are not in possession of the necessary tools to criticize it. <<Where do I get off calling anyone an idiot? Easy question! When the iduot opens his mouth!>> And thus you identify yourself.

    Rhetorical Question

    <<I believe once the dynamic of our position really strikes us then we will be in a position to truly worship.>> I believe I have no idea what you are talking about. :(

    Analysis of 1 Timothy 4:1 and how it disproves the OSAS doctrine

    <<Some shall depart from the faith, not saving faith.>> That is a total red herring. It is a contrivance of smoke and mirrors to evade what is clearly being stated. There is only "THE faith." <<1 Tim 4:1 NIV The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith...>> Again...

    Christians and culture

    <<How much cultural engagement is appropriate for Christians?>> About this much: Mat 28:19-20a Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; <<A century...

    Christianity: "One flock with one Shepherd?

    The other sheep Jesus was referring to were the Gentiles. <<Question: Is the current state of the Christian Church with it’s numerous denominations having differing doctrines really what Jesus Christ wants of His followers?>> Answer: What Jesus wants is what He said he wanted at John 17:20-23...

    What does “the rising of the dead” refer to?

    I don't know what you understand or imagine but scripture says that the dead will be raised from death immortal and incorruptible. There is no indication that we should not take the teaching literally. 1Co 15:53-54 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on...

    What we can prove

    <<If we confine our thoughts to the book of the Acts of the Apostles>> Why would you do that when you have the entire Bible to instruct you? <<Nowhere within these nine discourses do we find trinitarian theology being taught or preached.>> So what? The Scriptures teach that there is One God...

    A list of some present day Disputable Matters

    <<It wrong to murder another person either by your own action or by knowingly giving someone the means to kill himself.>> I wonder if you would still say that if you had to look forward to living every day of the rest of your, for years to come, life in agony without any relief. How do...

    Did God have name in the beginning?

    Did God have name in the beginning? Since man was not there "in the beginning", there was no need for a name which a human would use. He has revealed Himself to us a the Trinity, father, Son and Holy Spirit. That is the most full revelation of God's name available. Early names, from Genesis...

    Is Incest Sin or Not?

    In Leviticus & Deuteronomy, God says that incest is sinful. That's God's opinion; there is no other opinion that matters.

    The Didache and the Law

    FIrst, where do you get off calling anyone an idiot? The teaching was to guard against charlatans. ""They are a big believer in first fruits. I am too! I don't think the promises of God ended on that point. But it was the law that was done away."" That doesn't communicate anything. What's your...
