Ah. I do agree we should help the helpless. But I was commenting on the OP, the death penalty which is a government institutionalized punishment. Sorry if I missed the point. :huh:

I think we are all subject to God's law. As Jesus said to the rich young man; "You know the commandements. Dont commit adultery, dont kill, dont steal, dont bear false witness, honor your father and mother." (The question asked was 'what must I do to inherit eternal life?') But when the...

Hmmm... Here's my two cents (again) ;) If we are christian, and are in the world but not of it, what do we have to do with the government and the authorities of this world? What does the believer have to do with the unbeliever? We are to shine his light and fight in the Spirit. We are to...

Is he not the king of this world? Did he not offer Jesus all the kingdoms of the earth? Doesn't Paul say that we contend not with flesh, but with powers and principalities? Doesn't Peter says he prowls like a lion waiting to devour his enemy? The devil is real and powerful. And he is far...

Yes. We like making idols of the tools or experiences God gives us instead of attaching ourselves to God himself. We like creating beliefs and doctrines, which put us in control if they don't remain in the realm of faith. We need to walk in faith, and faith puts us in a place where we are not...

Ok, maybe I didn't quite understand your point. Sorry for the bother and correct me if I'm wrong again :). Yes, according to the NT, we are God's children. But also according to the scirptures, we are vines on a branch, and we can be cut off. We can't take one aspect or one parable and build...

Is it to be seen with physical eyes? Rev 3:17Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be...

I agree with you brother. Our foundation is to be Christ! We are to walk in his life! It is not the readers of the word... (fill in the blank) ;)

I like what you said there. The Lord is not physical, he is Spirit. To go to him we must go in the Spirit! Something keeps ringing in my head (something an elder in the Lord said to me), 'when the Lord says 'Follow me', he's calling you to follow him in the Spirit, where he is'. That's why you...

Something interesting happened last Sunday at a young adults bible study. We were looking at John 13. 26 Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it.” And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27 Now after the piece of...

Hello Anthony! Welcome a-board! ;)

Hi there! Welcome here... Ah, well you know, why charge for prayer when God has given us a free service! It's wireless too, transmitted by faith ;) God is all powerfull and our physical efforts dont help... That's what I would say :) Anyways, welcome, and blessings in the Lord!

America (or any other nation) has nothing good in itself, and nothing it can teach that could give others new life. All you can do with human strength is change things on a human level. Nicer walls, nicer house, nicer pay, more comfortable life... But when this world ends, the people can bring...

That is also an interesting point. I think what makes us Christian is that we rely on the life of Christ. We look to him. When we look to the Lord in all things, we are transformed into his image. It's something I experienced to a certain degree. Then I looked away and I became the worst thing...

Ok. Im gonna get into this one. I take these types of debates with a grain of salt, and hope you all do too ;) ... I hope you wont be bothered by my barging in although I wasn't involved before! I do indeed think the Bible is wonderful. I think it is great to study and holds many wonders. BUT...

Me and the brothers where I live meet in homes. We eat together and break bread together looking to share the life of Christ. We have no building to pay for :)

This is just my two pennies once again.... I just want to say, I honestly think God doesn't work by some formula. He looks at our hearts and if we turn to Him, he answers. Im just saying that because I think we shouldn't trust 'professionals', or 'formulas'. Not that they dont know anything...

I agree! I don't believe there's such a thing as a 'Christian nation'. And since when can we christians live by the sword and persecute those who disagree? It's like we went from persecuted to persecutor. I think we have to be very carefull. If you look at the new testament and the first...

Hey Fire-7... I just thought that something you said was interesting. You said you felt no love in what they said. I've seen that two, people who are very passionate, but when you hear them it doesn't stir something in you. It is not 'deep calling to deep'. It just made me think of this; God...

Just my two pennies here... Firstly, I would say we need to attain Christ. That's right; I'm saying it's not by just believing (atleast not in the sense we too often mean it). We need to have faith, and be faithfull in the faith, that we wouldnt stop. We must continue to the saving of the...
