II Peter 3:18-20For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the...

Wisdom is given by God - the root of all wisdom is fear(reverence) of God.Proverbs 9:10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.It says here is wisdom because there's more than just a physical mark here and the 666 number is directed at a...

I would have to disagree with that premise for although it is a contributing point it is not the best nor the only point to consider. The fact of the matter is the mark representation is the same as Daniel for with wisdom comes learning from the past. The representation of 666 is the same as...

Keep in mind what the mark of the beast is. I think Revelation 20:4 puts it in perspective for us in the best possible manner:Revelation 20:4And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and...

Agreed, very well said. There's a reason that the majority of the book is full of the babeling of the "friends" of Job - and even his own wife. God said it himself, Job was a righteous man yet when all this started happening it was immediately judged that Job had done something bad which was not...

Deuteronomy 32:4He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

Any friend of BC is always a friend of mind! Apologize that I did not get to this thread sooner, but I missed this one somehow. Welcome to CB!

Pretty much the truth, sadly enough. I won't condemn anyone but there are some serious problems. I am heartened by that remnant though; God always does shine through. I've had the chance to meet some good ones through CB and like the rest of the world we are spread out, but we are there.The...

Show me a verse, Pop, where it says God created sin. Not evil, not calamity, but specifically sin.Of course God created calamity; I don't need the verse DoubtingThomas cited to verify that; it was verified in Genesis and Exodus when God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and brought the plagues upon...

I would agree with you ROS.The key elements for me are manifest in the many similar stories about creation events and other Biblical events which are found all over the world. The stories are startlingly similar in events from various walks of life. "Science" has tried to say that YHVH was...

I've seen several Muslims come out and say that they have a problem with radicals. In fact, one even suggested that 50-60% of the religion today was radical and I tend to agree with him once you really start looking at the Muslim peoples of the world. I define radical as desiring forced...

It is in the original copy, signed by Adams. It is not, however, in many of the Islamic copies out there as well as other copies in our own language. If you have any answer to this, by all means share it but even the so-called "experts" can't really explain why. I cannot either; but if there is...

John 13:34A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.John 13:35By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.If you really think about it, loving one another sets the basis for all of the...

The Treaty of Tripoli. Drafted by George Washington and signed by Jefferson Adams."As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity , of Muslims; and...

We've been a Christian nation for a couple hundred years now and this intolerance that "everyone" fears so much has yet to happen.And actually, I will have to disagree with you. A government was conceived to protect both the rights of the majority and the minority as much as possible where...

Just as the dome of the rock stands in Jerusalem.

Actually, this question was answered long ago, I agree this is one of the rare cases where we did not cite Scripture, but what was said is derived from understanding of this concept. In my case I will admit this verse did not come to mind, but I don't claim to know it all.Whatever you do, do not...
