Everything in the law was given as a blessing, to give Israel the opportunity to "live long in the land " and ultimately to reveal Christ, blessed forever. However, scripture can always be looked at in two opposing ways, dependent upon whether our "eyes" are good or evil. 22 “The lamp of the...

I currently have to take metformin for my diabetes and amlodipine for my blood pressure (in addition to a number of allergy medications.) While the drugs do control my blood sugar level and blood pressure to a reasonable degree, they also have negative side effects such as interfering with my...

Your argument is with scripture, not me. The inspired word of God says that Jesus broke the Sabbath and the Lord Himself did not deny it, but admitted as much, justifying it as doing God's work. You just don't understand what scripture teaches about the law and who it applies to. That's ok, most...

My maternal grandfather was a coal miner in Western Pennsylvania back when mining was still mostly done with picks and shovels. It was hard work in confined spaces, difficult and tiring, so the mining companies gave their workers coka cola to refresh them and increase their productivity. At...

I thought as much, but I've found that many "abusers" are self medicating for very real problems. That's part of the appeal of some drugs to at least some "recreational" users. In my own case, I grew up with anxiety issues that were at times somewhat disabling. Friends introduced me to Cannabis...

Don't read them then. I only use 1 font, but select larger size so that maybe the nearly blind to scripture will at least see that I'm not simply asserting opinion, but the word of God. In a typical conversation, human beings really only "hear" or register an average of about 1 in 10 words...

You might want to focus more on just studying scripture. To be clear, Jesus openly admitted to working on the sabbath, which is a transgression of the law, but answered His accusers that "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the...

Barney, you deny what scripture plainly says and what Jesus plainly says. He is the true and faithful witness, and you most definitely aren't so here is the word of God that applies to you: 3 Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole earth: ‘Every thief...

Its not useless at all if you're calling is specifically spiritual warfare with the cults. I've found that on every "Christian" web site with forums for discussion, the easiest place to find the cultists is in threads about Eschatology. No one is ever "argued " into the kingdom, but a...

All they have to do is read and believe scripture as the "Latter days" started with the resurrection of our Lord nearly 2000 years ago. Jesus spoke of great tribulation, but assuming that it all occurs in a brief period isn't really supported by scripture. Some versions of scripture accurately...

You need better sources as the ones you use are extremely innacurate. I was out watching the Geminid meteor shower on the peak evening and Betelgeus remains the brightest star in Orion. Astrophysicist have long known that red giants are in the last phase of stellar existence and could collapse...

I've been a member of one congregation that was full of spiritual people though most were advanced in age, but as there will always be new (and immature) believers in the church, and church splits caused by them, Ephesians 4:13 is an impossibility until the reign of the Antichrist (which will...

My mother in law grew up in Nazi Germany (she became a "war bride.") She told my former wife frequently that Jesus was coming back soon because she was convinced that Hitler was the Antichrist, and she continued to believe that right up to her passing away about 5 years ago or so. I believe...

Yes, but the Babylonian empire wasn't an empire before Nebuchadnezzar. By the way, Babylon in the language of the Babylonians means heaven's gate or heaven's door, which is probably why it means confusion in Hebrew. This is why some see one of the largest "Christian " denominations as the...

Now you're just lying. Jesus spoke openly about his return and drinking new wine with those disciples that you assert are now nonexistant. You should be ashamed of yourself and will be when you stand before Him to give account of every false witness.

Household gods were common in ancient Rome as well as in The Middle east. Each little wood or stone god kept in its little sanctuary was responsible for its own functions eg. Blessing crops or fertility, health, etc. It was easier to make the local population accept this new religion if the gods...

Babylon the Great may have been built somewhere near the location of the tower of Babel, but it was built centuries after the destruction of that tower and the only thing they had in common was the root word in their respective names. Babylon was built by King Nebuchadnezzar according to the...

Now you're just denying scripture. I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: 2 Timothy 4:1 That which is not visible can not "appear" and God doesn't make mistakes. Who taught you such nonsense?

If we indeed sin less, its because of the renewal of our minds through our reading (and meditation) upon the word of God and its application to our lives. Unfortunately, many Christians just don't crack the spine on their Bibles and fail to mature or accomplish much. About 2 decades ago, I...

That was the point I was suggesting, but some people don't see God that way, but remain in fear.
