One of my sister's in law had a little Blackfoot in her ancestry, and I've always found some offense in the way scripture was used to dehumanize and disposess a noble, if less technological , people of their native lands. At least their remnant should have an advantage in the reclamation of the...

While I agree with your statement, our experience should at some point validate our faith. I started reading scripture as a young child, and the NKJ version of the bible was the first "adult" book that I'd read. I was really only interested in the Old Testament passages that were obviously about...

Cool. Do you know what tribe of nation?

I am just a bit curious. What exactly do you think John 14:17 means?

My race is human and that's what I put on forms. My ancestry is mostly from Spain, and the Austrian Hungarian empire, supposedly from disowned nobility on both parents sides which probably has something to do with my "horse shoe" kidney. I wonder how many people have noticed that the children of...

Correct and the passage is about the gathering of Christians to Christ upon the day of the Lord, isn't it?

This post doesn't actually say anything. Could you state your objection in something resembling modern English, so that it might be answered?

Just looked up the word translated as perfect in Genesis chapter 6, and it can mean quite a few things, but there is nothing to indicate any kind of genetic purity or purity of blood lines and that's not a surprise as these are modern concepts. One meaning is simply "complete" and interestingly...

I only met the man once and He self identified as a Christian, but whether or not he was born again, I just couldn't say.

I once met a fellow of Jewish origin who was working in a jewelry store at a local mall. In the course of our conversation he told me that he had converted to Catholicism because of an experience that he had during the war in Vietnam. He had been on patrol with his unit and came under attack...

No. I was no more Christian than the average Jew of 2000 years ago. I learned how to recite prayers, and perform sacramental duties, but I know for a fact that I did not receive the Holy Spirit until I genuinely believed and committed my soul to His keeping at the age of 39 in an employee...

Who told you that? Have you read the bible? No one "signs up" for God. He chooses those who will receive Him, we don't choose Him. He imparts faith in Him through the hearing of His word. We don't work up faith by ourselves like froth in a blender. The Lord's church is His bride. Does he club us...

Moses spoke with the Lord face to face and interceded for Israel when the Lord's wrath would have consumed them. He obviously understood something of grace, mercy, and the love of God, but men like him and king David were the exception, not the rule. Consider psalm 25 and verse 14: The...

By the way. One other individual is called the son of perdition in scripture and this would be Judas Iscariot, the treasurer of the group of disciples, a thief, a liar, and effectively a murderer.

Well thanks for clearing that up for us.

Could be that people want to identify the antichrist so that Christ will return, as we see in 2nd Thessalonians. I have heard nuts talk about trying to kill the antichrist, but they don't get the idea that scripture tells us what will happen, not what might happen.

Just curious, do you hold to the notion that the first resurrection is really multiple resurrections, as John McArthur teaches? From his point of view the first resurrection is the resurrection of the just, and the second, the great white throne judgment, that of the condemned. I find that view...

Where God guides, He provides. A young man, a youth really, once killed a giant with a pebble. Unfortunately, you can't kill an angel, fallen or otherwise. It would seem that they were meant for eternity as well as us (I don't believe in annihilation.) However,when you make war on a man, it's a...

I prayed such a prayer as a boy when I found a tract in my Halloween loot, but I wasn't born again until I was 39. The only difference was belief. As a boy I wanted it to be true, but couldn't accept that all I needed to do was pray a prayer, and consequently my unbelief in the simplicity of the...

Joseph wasn't the biological father, but he was the legal father, and a generation is a generation. Jesus had legal right to the throne of David through Joseph, and a blood line through Mary. Matthew's gospel was written to show Jesus as the messiah and rightful heir to David's throne.
