Forgive me if this is a bit speculative. I am dissatisfied with the premise upon which our understanding of reality is built. Potential is often viewed as an ethereal concept, possibilities that may be realized in the future. It is the fusion of chance and will over time. Or is chance an...

Where there is a will, there is a way. God is able to setup divine appointments. Though one's opertunity to respond to the gospel may be shorter than we think. Consider Elisha being called by Elijah. The Impetus was quickly shifted to Elisha. Elisha responded with great conviction. 1 Kings 19...

My tacit support for Israel is not a matter of likes or dislikes. But of God's faithfulness and evidence of his blessings upon Israel, and curses upon her enemies. Not to mention that as Christians we shouldn't yield to evil spirits that hate the Jews.

I don't believe there are two books being refered to here. A lesser one for life in the present earth and another for eternal life in Jesus Christ. Rather, a word from God is beyond our concept of eternal. Where did creation, including heaven, come from if nothing can change? Eternity would be...

If the cost were actually higher just because someone is on death row that would mean a different standard is being used.

And if we accept a substandard quality of justice due to the severity of the punishment that is a whole other problem.

It should be a decision for society to make, based on rather we can afford the expense of confining people for their whole life if they are too dangerous to release into society. I would prefer if we had the luxury of not needing to execute criminals. But if the alternative is to release...

Consider the warning at the book of revelation, that God may remove names from the book of life. Yet for all intents and purposes this book itself can be considered eternal. God is able to change anything about his creation at will.

Cornelius the Roman centurion was baptized by Peter. The Ethiopian was baptized by Phillip. Galatians 3:26-29 26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor...

Iran arrogantly told the US negotiators they produced half a metric ton of 60% enriched uranium and claimed they had an unalienable right to do what they want with their uranium. The US and Israel disagreed, and they did so violently. I fail to see why we should dance with death by doing nothing.

@soberxp I believe God is addressing the initial rebellion of man. Man believed Satan when he said you shall be as god's knowing good and evil. Well, when God gives us the autonomy of gods, what do we do with it and what is the result? Spoiler: it's not good, man will be proven incompetent...

An interesting statement. Does this imply the crucifixion was as the destruction of the present earth. I believe there is a connection, if indirect, as the blood of Jesus being shed leads to the opening of the seventh seal in revelation and the final judgement. Perhaps God would have allowed...

Then they cease to be Christian, as they follow some other spirit and not the one true God. Like it is written they will kill you and think they are offering God a service.

The Iranians are the ones with a history of targeting civilians. Not the western powers. The war could have been ordered by God. I am under the impression the Israelis would have waged war without our support. No one wants a neighboring country with the intent to destroy them and the ever...

Corrupted to what end? The devil wants to lead people from the true gospel of Jesus Christ. He does so in retaliation against God. Humans are but pawns to him, and he wants to get to God by hurting those he loves. Muslims, when obedient to the Quran, will become radicalized. It is the Muslims...

Welcome!

It is the prerogative of parents to expose their children to Christianity or not. Many choose not to. But everywhere you look Christian beliefs are undermined and supplanted. This is owing to the educational system and media. I doubt there is such a thing as a radical Christian. The most you...

I suppose I could see a road to indoctrination that starts with the layman knowledge of islam attained just by living and practicing when growing up. Then a specialized course of anti-apologetics, demonizing Christianity and judaism. Concluding with radicalization. Not sure about the economic...

Mockery for obedience to God is a given. But introspection is often difficult when we also practice the same.

[ The people of the world are like the mockers in Noah's day. But this is not our home, this world is perishing. All must get on board the ark who is Jesus. The flood waters will rise for each of us, rather we are onboard or not. Clinging to the world is foolishness, we will die along with...
