    The state of the church

    I expect you are referring to the "apparent church"? The true church is being built by Jesus, stone by stone. Living stones, of course! I think the answer is more preaching of the rescue from lives of death and bondage through Jesus' redeeming grace. We need to let them know that Jesus sets...

    Where did sin originate from?

    Obviously you are here to make God the originator of sin. Allow someone to choose, and if they choose, that choice did not come from you. You allowed them to choose. Simple logic. Not to mention the many many places the Bible lays sin at man's feet, and at satan's feet, as it were, and...

    The Gospel of the Kingdom

    Hi Trekson, Could it be that Jesus was announcing the Good News that the kingdom which had been promised to Isreal was close to happening? Was this also what Peter was announcing in Acts 3? Acts 3:19-21 LITV (19) Therefore, repent, and convert, for the blotting out of your sins, so that...

    First Resurrection

    Rev 20:4-6 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their...

    MillennialMathamatics

    Silliness! How many survive to enter that time? Will people actually be making personal visits to the King of Kings? Questions you cannot answer, I imagine! But go ahead and set up a problem the way it amuses you . . ..

    Why I can't be a Christian any more

    That's a sad testimony, but it doesn't have to be that way. I'm curious . . . why are you here telling us these things? No offense, but I don't believe you. I think its a matter of submitting. Wicca does not require submission, Christianity does. Christianity requires that you yeild what...

    Why I can't be a Christian any more

    HI Winnetou, I came from Wicca to Christianity. The spirits are real, I believe. But they are not as powerful as God. Not even close. I echo the words of the others, may your return be swift, and without much destruction. The seductions of the devil destroy you. Love in Christ, Mark

    "Christian" Doctrines That Are Not Biblical

    The common thread through all of your arguments is, Go ahead and use your "logic", but I will read the Bible. AE, I'm not planning to debate this with you any further. You obviously do not believe the Scriptures. You obfuscate your theology - you don't want people to know. The bottom line...

    Husband hiding things from me with co worker

    Why not try some of the same? Stroke his ego. Let him know you think he's the greatest. Do you think that?

    "Christian" Doctrines That Are Not Biblical

    Your arguments fall flat. They all boil down to this: "I don't understand it, therefore, it cannot be". Not to mention the words you put in my mouth as you re-word my assertions, creating straw men. But you have worse problems than understanding the Trinity, now knowing Who Jesus is. You...

    Mind of the Spirit / Mind of the Flesh

    Living after the flesh is to remain unregenerate.

    "Christian" Doctrines That Are Not Biblical

    Hi aspen2, Interesting that this "alter2ego" refuses to answer the question. If someone asked me if I were a Jehovah's Witness, I'd come right out with it, "No!" It sure looks to me as though this person is a JW, and simply doesn't want to self-identify. These are the two main hot-button...

    "Christian" Doctrines That Are Not Biblical

    So while you speak of the requirement that plural nouns have plural adjectives and verbs, when these are present, you reject that. This is the Ad Hoc Fallacy. You should really learn these things. Of course the Jews who do not believe Jesus is the Messiah will emphatically state that this...

    "Christian" Doctrines That Are Not Biblical

    Interestingly, with a little research, I have learned that several places in the Old Testament present "elohim", used of God, with plural verbs and adjectives: Genesis 20:13, Genesis 35:7, Deuteronomy 5:26, 1 Samuel 17:26 & 36, and 2 Samuel 7:23, And of course Elohim refers to Himself as "we"...

    Lawless Ones subverting the truth in Christ.

    "Without true faith", one of those "sweeping generalizations". "Animates their imagination" . . . More like, believes the Bible.

    Lawless Ones subverting the truth in Christ.

    It seems not many can really understand that you CAN"t buy God's favor with your works. As if!

    "Christian" Doctrines That Are Not Biblical

    The quotes are because alter2ego is here to teach us we're all wrong.

    "Christian" Doctrines That Are Not Biblical

    So, alter2ego . . . are you a Jehovah's Witness? Might you be so bold as to answer?

    "Christian" Doctrines That Are Not Biblical

    Hi A2E, I'd strongly recommend that you read up on logical fallacies. This is yet another blatant example. from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies

    "Christian" Doctrines That Are Not Biblical

    Hi alter2ego, John 1 does not have to "do me any good" in this discussion, you are who will need to contend with that. The simplicity of the Scripture says this. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Just right there, you have an issue with One who...
