    Obeying Government

    They've been committing mass murder a lot longer than that. Legalized abortion, wars to promote democracy, wars to promote communism, wars to build empires. The pax romana was formed by conquest and kept with the sword. How have things changed? How is the pax Americana any different? Our current...

    Obeying Government

    I was born in the USA and that makes a person tied to the land, a native American. Even the "indigenous" peoples really came from somewhere else, but they were born here after their migrations, lived here, died here, were all, after the 1st generation tied to the land. I love my home, but I...

    Called, equipped, and sent, brother. Carnality of mind is all over this site and in every forum. You just can't get away from it. Honestly, who would take someone seriously that professes Christ, but uses an avatar of a murderer, thief, and liar. You can't make this stuff up, but I'm not laughing.

    There's a good passage in the acts of the Apostles that demonstrates when it's right to ignore the authorities, specifically when the Apostles were ordered by the Jewish authorities to stop preaching the doctrines of Christ. But who are we, just bench warmers and participants in Holy huddles.

    Too bad, I was going to ask you something personal. You've been posting here as long as I have and you've used the same avatar for a long time. Why did you choose a picture of Clint from those cheesy spaghetti westerns where he always played a character that was a murderer, a thief, and a liar...

    Absolutely not, I always start right where I am when I jump into the kiddie pool.

    Obeying Government

    The Jews were never called to do the works of God, but to obey the law. Christians however are called to good works, to walk in them. The Jews had no problem with rebellion against the authority of their conquerors, but Jesus did and said so. You've got a bit of an attitude. Someone steal your...

    Just replying to your comment which really doesn't have anything to do with Roman's 13 either, but 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. Roman's 13:3 There, happy now?

    Uh, you do know that Korah and Dathan weren't in the body of Christ, right? Are you one of those religion people, or do you know Him?

    Who said we were, but every soul that's called to Christ, is called to ministry, either in the church or to the world. What does it take for believers to get off their butts and do the works that God has prepared for them to walk in? Worldwide persecution? Seas turning to blood? Famines, wars...

    freewill? na

    Martin Luther wrote this book a while back called " the bondage of the will". Its part of "reformation theology. " His writings aren't inspired, but for a Catholic monk he was pretty intelligent and attempted to "push back " on non biblical doctrines. For his efforts, the church tried to kill...

    freewill? na

    Come on, that cute little kid with the stuffed tiger? For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal? 1 Corinthians 1:12 " A mind is a terrible thing to waste"

    Yeah, you must be spiritually malnourished. 34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. John 4:34 If you're in the body of Christ isn't your food the same? That my brother, is meat.

    No Pre-Trib Rapture, The Church Will Be Present On Earth To See The Tribulation And Second Coming

    We have this promise that we won't be tempted beyond what we can endure, but will always have a way of escape. The Lord taught me the error in that doctrine which I believed because I trusted the otherwise sound teaching of scholars that I admired, but I know that not everyone's faith can stand...

    No Pre-Trib Rapture, The Church Will Be Present On Earth To See The Tribulation And Second Coming

    I wouldn't trust pop doctrines and pop movies. Read chapters 2 and 3 of the book of the Revelation. Only 1 out of the 7 churches, the church of Philadelphia, has the promise to be kept from the hour of trial to come upon the Earth and it doesn't say that this has anything to do with the first...
