This seems to have some how been a response to me, though your meaning is not clear. Could you clarify. Rather than assuming that you have judged me as someone without God's Spirit, I would prefer to ask you to clarify because I can't imagine you would actually do that.

Well, since we don't see eye to eye on the canon of scripture, it would be difficult to share much understanding with each other about what a disputed writing means or doesn't mean. I will not presume that you do not know God or have His Spirit. I would ask for the same respect from you and we...

BA, somehow I think you've been compared to a dead fly. I'm sure it was done with the love of Christ. However, I do hope you'll begin allowing us all to tell you what you should and should not post. I mean, after all, you a decon now boy! You are not your own. Now you belong to us...

It is even worse. The tax system is set up so that a person can get a "refund" of $5,000, $6,000, $7,000 or even more even if they had no income tax withheld from their wages. They not only pay nothing in for income taxes, but they get money back that originally belonged to someone else. It's...

I see. And you get this essoteric knowledge from... where? Oh, right, the book of Enoch. I recommend sticking to the Bible for God's truths, myself.

The translators of all the bibles I have translate "angels". On what basis do you disagree? That is because I said nothing about fallen angels or Satan. I didn't mention Satan at all, you did. I referred to angels who were rebellious, which you challenged and which I backed up by pointing...

A Nazarene was a person from the town of Nazareth. A Nazirite was a person who took a vow, or in the case of John the Baptist and Sampson, the mother took a vow to consecrate (set apart) the person to the Lord. Samuel was also a Nazirite. Some would take the vow for a period of time during...

I did. I base it on Matthew 25:41 where Jesus said the devil has angels. I assume any angels that are with the devil must be rebellious since God created all angels. If they were not rebellious they would be with God, wouldn't they? Or do you believe the devil's angels were created some other way?

I think you mean Nazirite.

Prayer is powerful. Just an update, here is what she posted today on another forum: ------------------------------------------------------------------ I FEEL LIKE SHOUTING IT OUT!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Ever since I requested all your prayers, good things have been happening every...

Yes, I don't think God will give us extra credit if we are charitable with the money He had entrusted to others.

Most six year olds are not ready to learn the full breadth of God's plan of salvation, but they can surely know that it's wrong to steal, that they should honor God and their parents, etc. We learn in iterations, not all of God's truths in a single sitting.

It is prophecy for the day when Judah was to be carried away into captivity by the Babylonians. There was to be great suffering. It pleased God to punish Judah for its sins because they were in desperate need of correction. If you study that whole issue and the prophesies God gave to the Jews in...

According to this professor, I'm a liberal! #!

Good exegesis requires examining what Isaiah's message was intended to be and to whom it was intended. Not every word of scripture was written to us personally. Isaiah was writing to the people of God, Judah. He was explaining the doom that was coming upon sinful Judah. He was explaining how...

You mean taxes and welfare DON'T constitute charity? ;)

It's pretty simple, God owns everything because He made everything. God owns Christians because He bought us with a price. "And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art Thou to take the book, and to break its seals; for Thou wast slain, and didst purchase for God with Thy blood men from every...

I never figured I'd live long enough to see Christians criticizing teaching children the ten commandments. It just goes to show you, if you live long enough you'll see everything.

On men, of course :) Some say men should be well groomed and clean shaven to better reflect Christ. Others say that Jesus had long hair and a beard, and for us to do so honors Him. What do you think of uncut hair for men?

There certainly is a dynamic that keeps people enslaved when they become dependent on public assistance. Not talking about those who are disabled, are addicted, have psychiatric problems, etc. But there are people who ought to be working who can live fine without doing so. Work is spiritual...
