Why ROFL? You do know that Peter quoted that verse in reference to what was happening right then...at Pentecost? Acts 2:14-41. He quoted the prophet Joel in direct response to the people wondering at the strange behavior of the Disciples. Where they drunk? Nope, says Peter, it was as Joel said...

You know...one could say that what you've just said was sort of a finger pointed at me that I'm "in the flesh and it's ways"...as I was indeed pointing out differences in people. But, I hope that's not what you meant. Especially since it would be a little ironic, as you've essentially confirmed...

Okay. Some biblical context, which is not veiled. There is, as we all should know, as difference between the OT and the NT. In the OT, God did indeed command the Israelites, at times, to go in and wipe a people group out. Usually this was because the people group in question had for years and...

Amplifying? I'm not sure about that. It seems to me that you were saying that none of us, in our own ways, are better than Hitler. Now, I grant you, before God, sin is sin. But the bible seems to indicate that God will punish accordingly, what each and every person has done (Psalm 62:12...

This would be a perfect example of when Paul said that when the law came, so did knowledgeof sin, yeah? Prayer Warrior's mother had no knowledge of what was bad for her, at all, until science came and made her aware of it. People went about their business acting in all sorts of manners and...

Nope, there can be only one! Won't it be fun to see who was right! Maybe no one was. Or maybe each system has elements that are correct! Maybe we need to try and smoosh them together! Honestly, I don't care who is right. My prayer is he comes soon. But just knowing that he will come, one day...

I honestly don't know if smoking is a sin. I think its stupid. But a sin? A sin is something we do against God...cosmic treason. Smoking, at best, could be said to harm yourself, which is not looking after yourself...and as your body in the temple of the Holy Spirit, we should take more care of...

I think, perhaps, you missed my point. Did I say that since Hitler was an evil scumbag and the Nazis did horrible things, that it excuses us all from our sins, and the sins of other Countries? I'm fairly certain I didn't. I said that those who say Hitler was a Christian (and there are plenty of...

It could happen this way, yes. I'm not saying it won't. I haven't, myself, formed any hard and fast opinions on who the AC will be or where he will arise from. I tend to think that when he does come upon the scene, he will be so Anti-God, so Christian hating, that as the people of God, we will...

I agree with much of what you say, and with some, I don't have anything really for or against it. But I would ask about the paragraph above, I suppose, more in regards to trying to understand exactly what you mean. We understand that when God inspired scripture to be written, that what he gave...

Okay. However, the bible does not, as you've pointed out, give leave for Hitler to do what he did. The Koran, meanwhile, tells the Muslims to behead the infidels. That's us, by the way. So, in point of fact, while the Muslims try and hoodwink the world and tell us it's actually a religion of...

One wonders,then, why ALL the Disciples, but John, died violently as martyrs for the faith? In fact, Jesus told Peter that is exactly what would happen to him. Did he tell Peter to high tail it? What about Paul? You couldn't threaten that guy with anything. Death? Who cares, he'd be with Christ...

Can I like this post twice?

I'm sorry, but to call Hitler a Christian show a total and fundamental ignorance about what a Christian is, and how a Christian functions. As it is said: "You shall know them by their fruit." Hitler produced rotten, rotten fruit. That man, if he DID claim Christ, lied through his bushy mustache.

It does seem hard to imagine Sharia law taking over here and in the US. But consider. It wasn't to long ago that Europe was a haven of Christian advancement. It saw incredible theologians...the reformation, coming from it! And yet today Sharia is recognized in many of it's Countries. News report...

You said you had "reconciled" all things, and I had not. My "lengthy" reply was just attempting to show 2 things: 1: You had not, in point of fact answered in any way, any of the verses or points I'd made; and 2) I had addressed several of your points with scripture and while I asked you you to...

No. I think the bible makes it clear that sex and the misuse of it can be far more harmful to oneself, and to others, than a lot of other things. Sexual sin has done a lot of damage to the world and to people. Following God's standards for sex will inevitably lead to better things. Having said...

Yes, he does. But again, I don't think the information he gives allows us to pin-point with certainty the location or the identity of who this man will be. Speculation is always good, but we must always admit it IS speculation, and not become locked into it. Only the bible and the information it...

Scripture is true, absolutely. But man does not always interpret it correctly. Why? Man is fallible. That is why it is SO important to consider the context of a verse. To consider it as whole, consider it in it's passage. Consider it against other passages that speak of the same topic. We study...

This is true, in that, until Christ comes, we individually die. When he comes, those who are alive will be gathered to him in a "mass event". The verse in question was talking about the "mass event". The time of Christ's return, where those alive would be gathered to him, and also, those who had...
