    Study the Bible for Truth's Sake

    If something doesn't make sense, then I start thinking. Maybe someone else has given it some thought. Sometimes I find a person on the internet that has pondered about the same thing and they will quote scripture that makes sense. Then I'll go about digging for more.

    Study the Bible for Truth's Sake

    I remember my Grandpa reading bible and writing down notes for his sermon. I don't remember his sermons but I know he got excited while preaching. I started studying, not because I thought I needed to, but because my 20 year old son, at the time, asked me about preterism. I didn't just read but...

    If you are preaching in an independent church, good for you! Give me a message God gave you that might be different from what he gives me. If you are independent we should be able to agree.

    I'm talking theory, because it doesn't make sense that God would create anything that was null and void. Does it make sense to you? We know from scripture that Lucifer was cast out of heaven, even mentions destroying land and people. Thy land, wasn't it Lucifer that was in charge of the earth...

    Study the Bible for Truth's Sake

    I think I said "some people". Since animals were created first, it is possible there would still be some around. Now let me point out another theory. God does not create incomplete beings or anything. That being the case, why was it - Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the...

    Well, n2thelight, I think some of the people get it. Thank you for your post. Now, I am going to really get their attention! LORD God is the same God as in Gen 1, but it implies more. By the way, God had input from the angels as to the races of people he created. The angels did not not do the...

    What day are we in now? Gen 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. All this happened in one 24 hr day? Gen 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring...

    Most preachers in the church today get their Sunday message from their denominational headquarters. Most pastors don't even take the time to prepare one.

    Study the Bible for Truth's Sake

    For years I just assumed that anybody that could preach knew God's Word. I no longer believe that since they are generally told what and how to preach according the church doctrine. Those that didn't would lose there licence. I never had a licence but I have learned a lot. I am going to point...

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    remission - the cancellation of a debt, charge, or penalty. Mar_1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. Heb 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their...

    Act_15:11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. Eph_2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) Eph_2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is...

    No, we are not under the law. Many people were still saying that the of the world had not come. In fact there is no end of the world, only end of the age.

    It's time to impeach the impeachers

    There was also evil people in the days of Jesus. In the book of Esther, when the king sent out the decree to protect the "Jews" (who were the Judahites of the Babylonian captivity), "many of the people of the land BECAME JEWS: for the fear of the Jews fell upon them." (ESTHER...

    Studying the Bible without thinking critically

    When was the end of the world (age) to come? That was the question the disciples asked Jesus. Jesus had already told them that some of them would still be living when he came. Jesus went farther when he said the temple would be destroyed when they saw the abomination of desolation that Daniel...

    Mat 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. Mat 24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be...

    Studying the Bible without thinking critically

    I first started bible study in 199?, when my son asked me about preterism. Told him I didn't know anything about it, but I would look into it. A couple of weeks later he ask me again and I asked him for some info into the theory, he didn't have any. So, I went on the internet and found a pastor...
