The truth has endured. Apostasy has also endured. Because God has directed a written account to be written and everything to be explained. But because, just as scriptures explained, people love lies over the truth...the truth of scriptures are often unknown. Hermeneutics is a lost art...

I did.

They are referred to today as the "Gnostics" although they can be referred to as Nickolaitans. John's gospels and letters focus on the theologies surrounding Jesus. But to suggest that Jesus was not God is to go even further away than the Gnostics were willing to go. (Scary ground) And...

Nope. I'm quoting the Apostle John. He is plain, direct, and leaves zero wiggle room on this one. Jesus is either God to you or you are literally anti-Jesus, the Anti-Christ, the anti-Messiah. Because if Jesus is not God. Then ALL of the Old Testament is wrong, ALL the New Testament is...

If someone claims that Jesus is not God they are the Antichrist. Pure and simple. If someone claims that the Holy Spirit is not God, they are an antichrist as well. Because they are NOT believing Jesus's very words. Now, I believe in the Trinity as a minimum. I believe that God is more...

Syria is not America nor is it in our interests. They are the leading producer of recreational amphetamines in the world. So before the Spec-Ops go to visit them to remove, dismantle, destroy their drug trade.... Let's do some talking before we start letting the bodies pile up. Not...

Actually I listen closer than you apparently. And children come whether there is a marriage certificate or not. Whether planned or not. Most young people who live together dont think in any long term fashion whatsoever. The concept of building a life together is not on their radar...

That would be wrong. Divorce or ending the live in romantic relationship are exactly the same devastation except for the legal fees. It is somewhat cheaper to just find a new place to live but divorce is slower and legal protections are applied that are Just. Each divorce or live in...

You forgot the part about when the tolerant and understanding person does not understanding when someone else lacks tolerance or has radically different values than they claim to have....and they then marry them.

Not every lasting marriage is successful. That's the first in a long list of false assumptions. And of course short term marriages are not successful. people have treated the Covenant agreement with such casualness that it's become abused in every manner possible. the numbers of...

3760 years BCE is the first year according to Exodus 12:2. Let me explain something real quick here. You either did EXACTLY AND PRECISELY what Moses said to do or else you died. They had 40 years of wandering in the desert to figure out that rule. And whining/grumbling about what Moses...

There were 4 different levels of "engagement/marriage". Each one had a party surrounding the various steps. Starting with the agreement to engage in negotiations between the two families. Then there's the negotiations of the bride price...and paying it. The writing of the Ketubah and...

I'm not saying it was scary for them EXCEPT while Mary was carrying Baby Jesus. But TODAY, for most people, it seems that standards for physical intimacy have not changed (at least here in America and other parts of the world) Despite the mass media hype of the contrary. Turkey is...

This is the internet.... Sex is used to sell everything and the published belief that everyone has tons of sex all the time and with as many partners as possible. Nothing could be further from the truth. Most people are fairly reserved...we do not actually engage in "hookup" culture...

You are correct... But BOTH Mary and Joseph KNEW Jesus was to be the Messiah. This is no small thing. This is personally and directly assisting God in achieving His desires and plans. How many people have been slaughtered over the centuries and millenia even up to today for refusing to...

That's what scripture says Moses said. Google and see.

There have been many various requirements for baptism by many different churches over the centuries. Churches behind the iron curtain (before it fell) required a 2 year class and same of perfect attendance before they will consider baptizing you. It still was up for a vote first. Early...

@GodsGrace .... So you will know why I bought the book AND see if there's anything I missed.
