"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Matt 18:20 Amadeus, you aren't incorrect, because no matter where you are, Christ is right there with you if you've received Him, but in context, Matthew 18:20 is about discipline in the church and...

Wedding vows are oathes before God. Making them isn't sin, but breaking them is. Jesus said let your yes be yes and your no be no and that any more than this was of the evil one. You have to ask, "why?" The answer is "presumption. " James, the brother of the Lord, expands on this a little in his...

The New World Order is actually very old and began with "the age of enlightenment " and the consequent rebellions against kings, monarchs, and the religious authorities that upheld them. The United States government was formed in that time period. King Louis and Marie Antoinette lost their...

Good point. The end times actually began with the resurrection and the first century saints anticipated Christ's immediate return, seeing the persecutions under Rome. The travail of the Earth is a process where the "birth pangs" came with long gaps between them, but occur with greater frequency...

The Antichrist isn't revealed until the return of Christ, But, I do anticipate that relatively soon. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 2 Thessalonians 2:8 But let's not make this...

It's easy to be Holy when alone on a mountaintop.;)

39 ‘Now see that I, even I, am He, And there is no God besides Me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; Nor is there any who can deliver from My hand. Deuteronomy 32:39 God is not the author of evil. He's good all the time. But I see a wee bit of destruction in Deuteronomy 32:39 It...

Can you please provide the name of one professing Christian who says "we must sin daily." Just one will do.

Just another somewhat dark thought and thing to watch for in the current crisis. While I tend to think of "military intelligence " as an oxy moron, if the crisis isn't just a show for the general population to distract from problems out of our control and get our focus on a "fake " crisis aimed...

I've posited a similar hypothesis in that the high energy particles emitted by the sun are mostly cations (positively charged elelemental particles stripped of some or all electrons). As they spiral into the poles this represents a massive electrical charge that the Earth would have to "sink" by...

The first time I saw the film Independence day about the UFO invasion of Earth, I was also struck by the biblical imagery of the ships breaking the clouds and the invaders intent to exterminate the human race. "Knowing" was pretty cool with the imagery of wheels within wheels of the craft that...

One of the documentaries was filmed by a couple of adventurers that risked a Saudi prison to film it, but the other was more in depth and involved Christian students of archeology and explanations of coral formation. I appreciated the more legitimate approach. If you have Amazon prime, you can...

I feel sorry for the lost, but I get what you mean. Judgment is necessary to put away the rampant violence caused by sin. My alltime favorite dystopian film is " the book of Eli" starring Denzel Washington, a professing Christian with a memory of when he first believed that is pretty common...

Something like a mountain hitting the sea, something similar striking the land. The imagery is right out of the book of the Revelation and either one would be called a planet killer by astrophysicist. Don't you ever watch popular science fiction? Ever see Deep Impact, Armageddon, or the latest...

Could be, but Joel Rosenberg's book "epicenter" places Iran in the mix, though that was from his application of the book of Ezekiel to modern events. It's a good read (and I always struggled with the nations and symbolism in Ezekiel.)

Considering that even putting a foot on Sinai carried the death penalty didn't help. Just a side note: ever see one of the documentaries on "the real Mt. Sinai", Jebel Musa in Saudi Arabia. Both follow the trail of Moses and Israel across a submerged plateau in the red sea with coral formations...

A lot of folks here struggle with number IX. V would probably have buried me at the age of 13. However, even in Israel prior to the Babylonian captivity, the Hebrews rarely kept them faithfully, or were reluctant to enforce them.

Thank you for your response. The sacrifices of the law, beyond representing the final sacrifice of the Son of God, were only meant to be a temporary "covering" for sin. The Hebrew word generally translated as "atonement" means "to cover". And the law only provided a "covering" for unintentional...

Fashion concerns are pretty old, but mass media and advertising have brought them to the forefront of our consciousness. Marketing, the use of advertisements to sell stuff, is the fine art of convincing you to spend your hard earned cash on things that you really don't need. The most effective...

OK, I have a similar experience in that I loved the Lord and His words at an early age, but didn't receive His Spirit until I was 39 and fully convinced that I believed the word and could be saved despite a lifetime of sin. The Lord changed my perception regarding His word in that moment and I...
