Our Bible Study area is closed to posting. Feel free to start a topic about it in the appropriate forum otherwise, but unfortunately a few bad apples forced me to restrict posting in that area.

Well, it took me long enough to get around to it, but Christianity Board now has a new Bible Study available: 666: The Number of the Beast, Here is Wisdom. The study looks at the mystical number of the beast that has confused so many folks. God placed this study on my heart a week or so ago...

There are numerous descriptions of the beast and virtually all of them portray him as the obvious villain and the literal opposite of Jesus the Christ. While the latter portion is certainly true, has Satan ever really operated so overtly? Or, is not his design to always deceive, often by...

Or we could listen to Scripture. Not a big fan of these "revelations" when they don't match up. Now I realize these are spirits, but it's proof Christ can and did save them by His own word.

It's one of the versions I own and often consult. It's basically a modernized KJV, but it has had a little reworking. I think it's a pretty good Bible, and it follows more after the Byzantine texts. It's much easier to read than the KJV and I don't think it will deviate too much from what you're...

You got it Ray, they'll be in my prayers!

Excuse my blunt nature here, but let me make some things clear for you my dear. Number one - which even the world will tell you - when you have someone who tells you that you need to change for them, then it will most decidedly not work out. This almost goes doubly so for this scenario. I'm not...

We should honor the sabbath, but not above the Lord of the Sabbath!

Well, it's commentary on why we cannot get too mad when others maybe don't see eye to eye or do something to us. Number one, it's easy to forgive until something is done to you. We all struggle with that, it's the elephant in the room for Christians. I think one really necessary dimension of...

Interesting questions for someone who was supposedly asking an honest question. I think your preconceived notion was unfortunately revealed in this thread, and it looks like you practice that which you preach against, to a large degree. Evil spirits are repeatedly spoken of in the Old...

I think that was sarcasm, Jordan. Luke 6:44 Topic closed, I think we see the fruit here.

Welcome to Christianity Board, Devin. What are some of your preferred topics to discuss? Hope to see you in on the discussion! :)

Welcome Nikki! :)

We actually have a study that touches on this very topic: http://www.christianityboard.com/topic/71-the-first-of-three-earth-ages-bible-study/ The short answer is that it was not created that way, but became that way as the Hebrew will bare out.

Amen! Did you write this Christina?

The burden of proof should be on your friend there, IMHO.

A belated welcome, Walker! :)

I will keep her in my prayers!

Only one stands condemned at the moment. Spirits are Greek pneuma which is basically exclusively used of spirits or angels. Prison would agree with Jude 6. Even the angels that left their estate can be saved - and some were according to I Peter 3:19. I think saying that the devils believe is...

Think that is the obvious number one detail with a true prophet. It's like Solomon said in Song of Songs, there is just nothing new under the sun. We see false prophets all over the Old Testament, and the epidemic seems to be repeated over and over again. Either your prophecy is from God - where...
