This might apply, but I don't condemn people in error (I've been there myself.) He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. Matthew 10:41 A lot of...

Because old posts aren't locked and archived.

Actually, the old Testament scriptures were read in synagogues on every Saturday 2000 years ago, just as they are today, but the understanding of them was taught according to the Talmud (which dates back at least to the Babylonian captivity and was written according to rabbinical understanding...

No. The Jehovah's witnesses, like all the cults who deny that Jesus is Lord, are spiritually blind. You must be born again.

The Bible is full of verses that imply Jesus'. equality with God, but only the elect can recieve them because that is the dividing line between new Spiritual birth and the old carnal nature. You either have His Spirit or you don't and His Spirit doesn't deny that Jesus is Lord. The Holy Spirit...

Your definition of true Christianity just doesn't work for the gentile church which was, for the most part ignorant of the content of scripture. Literacy in the first century was a rarity and very few were familiar with the law and the prophets ( beyond those like Timothy with mixed ancestry)...

Personally, I never look at the dates on the OPs because truth is timeless, but the administrators could just lock the inactive threads, or better, they could archive them all yet leave them accessible by search. I'll admit that though I've been posting here for ten years, I still don't know...

Have you been a Roman Catholic or a protestant? I've been both, and no one ever taught me that it was necessary to believe in the trinity to be saved, no one. I was however taught the Apostles creed as a child, but as a prayer to recite without any theological explanations. That's just the...

I can always use another prayer, but I was born again at the age of 39 and served the Lord since I was about 10. I place no confidence in such, but I have complete confidence in my Lord and His discipline. I've never had an in depth conversation with an orthodox Jew, but because of circumstance...

Pray for understanding and wisdom. I'm sure that God will at least grant the latter if not the former.

The biggest sign pointing to the rapture is the tribulation and the revealing of the son of perdition just prior to the first resurrection.

I think that the Lord might have a problem with border walls. 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over...

6 “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should...

People have been reinventing this heresy for nearly 2000 years, so I wouldn't hold my breath. The real problem is not that people believe this brand of nonsense, but that some believe it and still call themselves Christian.

Some people are adventurers, some entrepreneurial and both sorts tend to love the freedom to pursue their interests. If Columbus was either Jewish or a "converso", he might have had larger reasons for his exploration, but short of a journal or other personal notes, we can only guess. When...

A covenant with God of any nature is by definition "a deal." Yes, lots of men are delusional and some of them have entirely biblically based delusions. Yet, Christ gives His children a sound mind (His own.)

Actually the scripture does say "by sight" in regard to the return of our Lord. The scripture says that every eye will see Him. Behold, He is coming with clouds,and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen...

You tend to say a lot of things which aren't supported by scripture, so I'm just unable to take you very seriously. With regard to the second coming of Jesus Christ I recommend that you read and consider chapter 1 of the acts of the Apostles, giving special attention to verses 9 through 11...

Jesus was born a Hebrew of the tribe of Judah, so yes, He was a Jew. How could He be a rabbi without being Jewish? God could have chosen any people through which to reveal Himself, but He chose the least of all peoples to bless in obedience to His word and to curse in disobedience to the same...

I don't believe in "conversions" unless that applies to being born again of the Holy Spirit and that is the work of God and according to His will, not of men.
