    Marriage under false pretenses

    Matthew 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. A couple things there - God joins them together. Does this mean that every marriage carried out by man is ordained by God? No. Fact of the matter is He is not going to...

    Tightening the Grip: Starts in the Schools as Always

    Well you can look up Jefferson Davis's memoirs/writings and he very clearly stated that the war was not started because of slavery. Slavery was merely the uniting factor in that it was something that arguably made the south what it was at the time. It was an issue that embodied the real issue...

    Ethnicity of Certain Persons

    How do you think Jesus is Jewish? We have the lines given to us in the Bible. Since he was of a virgin, he would have (obviously) no father in the earthly sense. However, his mother was the unification of the house of Judah and the priest line of the Levites.

    Does OT Isreal = NT Church?

    I'd say most importantly it involves understanding what happened to the 10 so-called "lost" tribes of Israel. Modern day Israel (the nation) is but one house - that of Judah. I don't think people understand what God said when he proclaimed that Abraham's descendants would be as numerous as the...

    Is God bound by time

    This is one of the concepts that is very difficult to wrap ones mind around. God is eternal, so that very fact should answer the question on a basic level.However, it goes much deeper than that. We are limited by time in these flesh bodies and when God came to us in the flesh he took on the same...

    Escaping hellfire

    Did I miss anything? Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Fear as in reverence, you can take it back to the Hebrew for that. Either way, the meaning comes to the same thing. It's expanded on in the New Testament.Matthew 10:28...

    Tightening the Grip: Starts in the Schools as Always

    Also, point out the subtle problem with this article aside from the main one I highlighted.(Hint: It relates to bureaucracy!)

    Tightening the Grip: Starts in the Schools as Always

    Story: http://www.wltx.com/news/story.aspx?storyid=62738 "We are very clear that the Confederate flag is a symbol of hatred, bigotry and racism," said Rick Kaufman, the Executive Director of Community Relations at Bloomington Kennedy High School. This is the kinda of legislation that's in the...

    The Denominations Speak: The Sabbath

    Partly correct here but there is an important part that you're missing, hence the reason I specifically quoted Colossians 2:16. When people start getting into the sabbath day thing, are you not doing exactly what Colossians 2:16 says not to do?Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in...

    The Denominations Speak: The Sabbath

    No worries atr, the thing there, though, is that it says six days, not six days starting Monday. Just wanted to point that out, otherwise the Jewish faith which holds the Sabbath on Saturday would seem a little strange basing it off the very same book.Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge...

    Predictiong our next president

    We are all as one under Christ Jesus, and maybe there is a bit of the Lost Tribes somewhere in every single grouping of people on the face of the Earth. You can't know for sure that there isn't. Right, but it goes beyond that. It's about understanding God's great plan in all of this and...

    Sorry for the delay here, but I will be restoring all of that very soon here.

    fly away.......

    Denver, this forum has given me so much in my search for truth. I do not have itching ears...as far as wanting to understand it my way. I want God way, God's truth. Yes, I am slow to learn...because I am cautious. This Ez. passage is speaking of the false prophets catching the people like birds...

    fly away.......

    As for Ezekiel 13, it's a type in the same sense that everything in the Bible is a type in one form or another. Just as we have Nebuchadnezzar (the king of Babylon) and another king of Babylon that appears in the end times. This playing on the meaning of Babylon (babel) which is confusion.I'm...

    fly away.......

    If this taught the rapture (fly away) the lies would not sadden the people it would encourage them. The rapture teaching makes people feel safe and happy...not the case here. it encourages the wicked not to repent...this is the case here, the wicked do not want to repent. The wicked would repent...

    Amen? Prince William?

    1. He's referring to aman(amon, amen, etc.)-ra which was the sun deity. This was the first time I've heard someone try to palm this off as this, but I'd say it's absurd. It's making the connection at a purely English level. Given that the Bible first came to us in Hebrew, that presents a...

    Clean and Unclean Food

    You don't always have to listen to what you hear. I'd say the above saying is pure hogwash.David was a man after God's own heart.Acts 13:22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a...

    Obama, Clinton or McCain

    Being a Christian, you don't necessarily have to be pro-military. Luke 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. At the same time, do you want Jerusalem surrounded without any opposition, or even worse, with our own army numbered...

    California Court Affirms Right to Gay Marriage

    Well, unfortunately the powers at be have found the flaw in the Constitution. It's how the Judicial system works in that once Judge is appointed, he or she is appointed for life. They have overstepped their originally designed bounds by legislating through their rulings which was never, ever...
