I Corinthians 10:12-15I try to think on these words when presented with the opportunity to do something I know better than to do. As above, the submission and reverence to God (hence why Proverbs 1:7 makes the statement) is where it all starts. This is witnessed throughout the Word, Old...

Jimmy, I can only share what I've felt and what I've learned through the Word.One aspect where I often find disagreement with many modern Christians is the concept that everything becomes perfect once you're saved. They wildly cite verses such as Philipians 4:7: The problem is, it's not like...

Worse yet, some folks exclusively associate charity with the physical. The greatest gift you can ever give is to help someone along with a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Welcome, welcome! Glad you joined us.

It's the modern assertion from the self-dubbed "higher critics" that books like Daniel and Revelation deal with historical periods. This view is known as Preterism for the most part. It is a blatant disregard for what (as you've highlighted) is written in plain English/Hebrew/Greek.I cannot say...

Welcome, glad to have you with us!

I am sorry for not posting on this topic quite yet, but I turned it over in my mind.New Jerusalem could certainly be a pyramid given the description. It is, firstly, described as having a square base with three gates on each side (for a total of 12 gates). Curiously, I almost immediately thought...

Okay, well, let's go a little deeper. Again, we have fire. The elements are the rudiments or fundamental properties. As I have illustrated through Scripture, God is a consuming fire and judgment is by fire. Those that make it, will have their sins burnt off and continue through, those that...

I think sometimes it does us well to think/meditate on it. Taking something in nature, for instance, and think about how much went in to making sure it functions. Space (as in outer space) always fascinates me.

Or not.Everlasting means everlasting, but lasting forever clearly can mean that the punishment lasts forever in the sense that it will never be revoked, once you're gone, you're gone. It's the obviously overlooked answer. Amazing what one would see if one would only read. This isn't the only...

Welcome, moved you over to a better forum for your post.

So does the Word of God bear false witness against itself, or do certain folks like to take one verse out of its obvious context and run with it?

Topics merged, no need for two different topics which are so similar.

You keep saying this book is addressed to a Church. I might find agreement in that we have a book addressed to Christians in general in that it is present in the Bible. However, do note the first line: As that quote has been propagated before, show me a person without works and I'll show you a...

Just an update on the chat and shoutbox.The latter (the shoutbox) has been pulled because we are having some issues with the upgrade. Instead of digging around in the MySQL DB to get it working, I am simply going to wait for a better shoutbox version.The conventional chat is now up and working...

The answer to that is simple: However, we know from Scripture: Knowing, therefore, that our Lord is just, that Buddhist monk will have his shot whether it be in this earth age or in the coming millennium. This is spoken of in Revelation 20, as well as Ezekiel 40 an onward for the rest of the...

Welcome to CB, glad to have you.

Welcome to the community here! Glad to have you with us, all the way from down under.

Polar, I'm not sure how else to explain it beyond what Christina said above.This raiser of taxes -- whether it be Obama or someone else -- comes in prior to the vile person aka the Anti-Christ. Following the signs of the age, we are very close to that time, hence why President Obama is a...

Well, let me put the question this way? What powers the lake of fire? Notice that the chaff is burnt up; that in its very nature implies an end. The Lord will purge; all will be tried by fire -- note that everyman's work will be. As the Hebrews 12:29 states, that fire is YHVH. That fire is...
