We'll do our best to still be here when you wake up to the truth.

That's why I didn't use the phrase of only the belief that Christ exists. Do note that this is qualified that Christ is the Son of God incarnate, or he isn't. You can believe Christ existed as a man, but not be a follow of Christ. Believing in the existence does not make one a follower. That's...

Check out the new Bible study: Reverence God: Where Wisdom BeginsProverbs established itself as one of my favorite books. Coming from a literary background, I can appreciate the language that the book uses when discussing the relationship of God and wisdom. Knowing that wisdom was present with...

Christina, I'm curious on this one question. What specifically did you find the Church not to like about the book? Would it be the story about the three guards (particularly between the discussion both of kings and a women being powerful)?

But you missed/ignored what is actually said about the Bride? And then a little later: Yet we know the church to be the bride of Christ, which should be presented chaste to Christ, the bridegroom. In the final chapter of the Bible, we are left with the Spirit and the Bride saying: Clearly not...

I've actually never sat down and read Esdras until now, and I must say that two chapters in, it seems to bode well for being included. I cannot help but notice the number of times that the books refers to books commonly included in what is now known as the Old Testament.

Where do you get that he was not a Jew, even using that in the incorrect sense? All we are told is that he is the King of Salem, literally meaning King of Peace. I fail to see how we know he is not an Israelite, yet at the same time say that there is not genealogy given?

I think there is disagreement here when there really shouldn't be. Ultimately, God is in control because He is the ultimate authority. Remember Job, Satan was able to do what he was able to do only by the permission of God. Father laid the groundwork and always limited how far he could go. This...

I've never heard of that term.

IMHO, the best around in the Companion Bible. It's the KJV version, completed with probably the largest amount of in-depth and organized...

You can almost take the Cartesian route to answer this question. I use this often, but going to the most simple definition of a Christian, I'd have to go to the actual meaning of the word: "Christ man." (Note that man does not discriminate the female sex, if you prefer person there, go with with...

I think the very same could be said of you. We can all claim authority, but that does not make it so.Regardless, I did want to clarify a comment that you made here that included me. Not sure if this is your intention, but it makes it sound as if I am not behind what I choose to teach at this...

I'm sorry, but you make no sense, absolutely no sense. I don't know if you try to create red herrings, or just choose to ignore what is written, or simply contradict your own arguments.The entire lesson is about those that don't pay attention to the Word. These are the ones that place themselves...

Right, but we're not talking people, we're talking the Word of God. So this point needs to be discarded, as it's not relevant even to what we are talking about here.Not much else to say to your comments, it's really like a broken record at this point. Because all of this takes place at the SAME...

I won't say that I am using this to directly comment on the Catholic Church, so please no one misconstrue what I am about to say. However, the Song of Moses immediately came to mind: Petras meaning 'rock' -- of course we are the taken to the passage that the Catholic Church (and all Churches...

Funny that I am judged not on message, when the message is established at the start of both Malachi 3 and the study. If I am not on your message, than that is certainly no skin off my nose.One thing you're completely missing in the refiner's fire is that the bad is in with the good initially...

Good eyes, Lookin'4!

And this is where language sometimes fails us. No, the answer is certainly not both. My illustration here is for the rapture, so please do remember that is the ultimate topic at hand. The rapture, of course, being defined as thepre-tribulational rapture where God "raptures" his elect. The simple...

With all due respect, apparently you don't read very much, then.http://www.christianityboard.com/topic/361-teachers-and-the-curse-in-the-end-times-rapture-believers/I suppose it's more of this selective reading that seems to accompany the Rapturists. Generally they don't like it when you use...
