John 14 provides a lot of insight on that - instead of quoting the majority of the chapter to illustrate things, just read it when you have the chance.http://www.godandscience.org/doctrine/songod.phpExcellent little link to illustrate where the titles are applied to both in the Old and New...

John, the best way to understand these verses is to go back to the Greek, which I will let you do on your own time. The sense here is that no man (in the flesh) has seen God in all of His glory. Jacob wrestled with what was called a man in Genesis 32. Judges 13 is only an angel of the Lord as...

We do not agree. Neither Monogamy or Polygyny or being single are ideals, they are plans for each individual life as constructed by God and to the extent that it is his righteous plan for each of us, they are ideal for the people he prepares such states. Hey, if saying it that way makes you...

I'll have to look into it, afraid I haven't heard anything about it, but that's easy for me to do.

Again, the government is not a theocracy so what the Bible has to say on the matter is irrelevant. Maybe you're not aware of this, I don't know. However, the Bible is not a laughing matter for a Christian. When you say what the Bible says doesn't matter, you're in effect saying what the person...

Hugh, you're picking at words and missing what I am trying to say.A type is nothing more than a type, an ideal. That differs greatly from a commandment or God's Word which makes it a sin. Polygamy is not a sin. There's no hedge in what I say so please quit trying to make one. You're constructing...

That would be correct. We have the type of two set before us by God, but there is nothing there against polygamy as an outright sin.

Because it tells me what kind of person you are. Discussing hypothetical situations is a good way to demonstrate morality. And it is a very big problem if you really believe God tells you to do things like some people in this world whom we have classified as insane. We...or is it you? I know...

Easter derives from Ishtar, for example. We've had many good discussions and studies on this topic from some of our members who know a little more about it than I do myself. You'll find a lot of agreement here.

If any of you truly believe God's laws and commandments should be followed over Man's, then, please, don't ever read Leviticus. It shouldn't be read or talked about when one doesn't know the difference between a statute, ordinance, and commandment, sure. Furthermore, if God commanded you to...

God's creation is pretty amazing when you get down to it. Welcome to CB!

This comes up in Congress all the time. A pastor has already been arrested in Sweden for preaching the OT on this topic. If memory serves me right, Canada already has something very similar. I said this months ago, it's going to become illegal to say anything that "they" define as negative about...

Take your time, you'll find no rush here. I'm not concerned if people agree with me or how fast they might. It's all about God and his Word, if I can just help inspire even a study or two where you reach your own conclusions, I'm happy.

Well I need not remind you there are Christians out there - through decidely less violent means - who think they can do the same. I think it's laughable that anyone believes that they can speed up God. It's all the more tragic when it preaches nothing but hate like this does. They really should...

Divorce is not a sin, so that's a nonissue. Please at least be informed if you're going to come here and talk about the issues. Your purpose here is obvious, but please at least know what you're talking about. Take your own advice, don't try and force beliefs on others that you don't know about.

Actually, his greatest wrath will be for those who lead his flock the wrong way and make up religion as they go. It's not speculation. It's right there in the Word in Malachi amongst many other locations.

The absolute epitome of a wild goose chase. Hey, if they want to waste their time, have at it... Doesn't change a thing for me.

The sons of God are simply Adams offspring which stayed loyal to God. Sons of God is also repeatedly used to denote an angel. I have a feeling there's not much that I can say to change this, but this verse will put it into perspective for everyone involved: Job 1:6Now there was a day when the...

The same reason we didn't push all the way to Baghdad in the First Gulf War. The powers and principalities of this world won't allow it. I also believe history suggests that Syria tends to be a follower whereas Sadam was doing the actual development. The UN decided today to promote Syria and...

Nice try. I'm not into petty arguing. I closed your thread because it's at least the third thread you've started in the past few days about the same topic. I will not let that filth pollute the community and remove more deserving topics. If you want to start a thread on it, fine, but I will not...
