And the U.S. can thank those Christians who pushed the 'home school laws' into existence and provided the U.S. an alternative for schools when this Corona shutdown occurred. But they won't. Good for you in your work and participation in politics as a Christian. Stranger

Yes, I get my understanding of who a saint is from this old Book I have called the Bible. Just as I showed you. To which you never responded. So, are my view of who is a saint, which I base upon the Bible, what you call 'cultural christianity'? And those who put Jesus to death, did not know...

Why didn't you address what I said about 'saints' to correct your view of 'saints'? Instead of going of in another direction again. And you didn't answer my question. Is this 'cultural christianity' something you made up, or did you read about in a book somewhere? Stranger

First of all, we have no reason to believe that Ananias and Sapphira were not believers. Just because they were taken in judgement doesn't mean they were not Christian. Special status for the saints? Please. The only thing that makes one a 'saint' is their faith in Jesus Christ. Because...

I agree. Stranger

I'm not sure what you think is false. There was no requirement for all to sell all they had and give to the church. Many did so. But there was no requirement. (Acts 5:4) is clear that Ananias and Sapphira didn't have to sell the land and give it to the church. And, we are not even told...

And, I don't believe Barnabas was trying to be 'holy' when he sold the land and gave the full price to the Church. It is what the Lord led him to do, and he wanted to do it. Concerning 'more spiritual' or even 'more holy' I put them in that category you mention, 'humbleness'. It is an...

Yes. And in all probability, that is why God killed Ananias and Sapphira. After all Barnabas had sold all his land, (Acts 4:35-37) and gave it to the apostles and would later be counted among the apostles, though not of the 12. (Acts 14:14). But he was right in his heart and purpose to join...

Your quite welcome. And you can always, instead of shooting from the hip, place the butt of the gun under your arm instead of in your shoulder. It provides a little more aim direction. Stranger

I understand what you're saying. And, I usually do leave room. It is only when I feel I am forced into a shrinking room that I fire back. And if you read the first two sentences of this thread, you will see it leaves no room for anyone else save those who declare themselves 'neutral and...

Yes, I believe you did. It is of interest to me that when their brother Lazarus died, they still evidenced their particular personality and character traits. Martha the doer ran to meet Jesus whereas Mary stayed in the house. (John 11:19-21) Yet both evidenced the same exact faith. (John...

The anti-christ, also known as the beast, is not satan or the false prophet. But he is certainly directed by satan. See (Rev. 19:19-20). I have already showed you that these seals of (Rev. 6) take place during the Tribulation period. Specifically during the middle. Thus the anti-christ...

I agree with all you have said. Sorry to hear of your shoulders. Remember you can fire that shotgun from the hip. That doesn't mean resting on your hip. Just holding off to the side freely. Should not affect your shoulders. I don't use those with a pistol grip as it hurts my wrist to...

Everyone is tangled in worldly affairs. Just because we are not of the world doesn't mean we are not in the world. We are. Thus we function as believers in the world, abiding by the laws and methods of living as best we can. This doesn't displace us as believers in Christ. I remember...

I don't disagree with anything you have said. But how does that equate in that I should not vote or attempt to do things to bring about change. I let God be God. Concerning Joseph the original plan was to kill him. Yet Reuben changed their mind in hopes that he could deliver Joseph later...

Very good point. Stranger

All he had to do was tell me. He chose not to tell me as it would also show he got tangled in worldly affairs. Not that I believe that. But that is what he has been saying. My point is, we are involved in the world. There is no getting away from it till we die. So we try and function...

(Daniel 9:27) is clear. The anti-christ will make a covenant for one week. That is the Tribulation week. In the middle of the week or the Tribulation, he will stop the sacrifices. There must be a temple to have the sacrifices. And (Matt. 24:15) addresses that same middle of the week where...

You have answered nothing I asked and instead have gone in another direction much of which makes no sense. Stranger
