You'll find the premier mention of a dinosaur in the book of Job. It can be found in Job 40:15-24. I believe there is another topic somewhere down the way where we discussed about this particular passage. Some "interpretations" try and make this an elephant or some other modern beast but there...

Actually it was Timothy who addressed women teaching in the church in I Timothy 2:11-12. Keep in mind, though, that this was addressed to a married woman and is telling her not to speak over her husband because the two become one when they marry. God called upon Prophetesses as you pointed out...

Right, but it's only a hypothesis and not even to the theoretical point there. Quite frankly it takes more faith for me to believe in that then it would for me to believe in the Bible.

Ezekiel 48:35It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.The Hebrew for The LORD is there is YHVH Shammah which will be the name of the city that God will rule from. Context of the verse can be seen beginning way back in...

Right on faithful1.If you'll notice, angels are never said to be of the female sex in the Bible. When they appear, they appear as men and are addressed as so. It works on the same way that we call God our Father.The male pronouns are used because, putting all modern day blinders and sexism...

The verses speak for themselves and don't need my commentary. Clearly this is speaking to an individual being. That's about as direct as it can get. I see that Job is called a perfect man by God.God treats us all the same, this is a given, that means that we are all perfect as stated elswhere...

I can recommend Pastoral Ministries if you are in the area. Pastor Tom has become somewhat of a friend lately as well as an asset to this little community. Rest assured that you're being married by a man of the Lord there.Thanks for sharing with us!

Very, very good post there n2light, thank you for sharing that!

When do you use Jesus teaching of "love your enemy"? All the time. Love is a complex emotion and involves a lot more than just words. Love ranges from the discipline of a child when they are wrong, praying that one's enemies come to light, protecting those that you love, and a whole lot more...

Please do, BC.

Greatest, your condescending tone is really growing old. It means a hill of beans to me what you think about me and what you believe, but I do not appreciate your tone to our community as a whole. I'm a blunt guy, drop it or move on. It's not really welcome here. A quick study of the Hebrew...

I have heard many times this kind of arguement. When we consider our discipleship, we should learn from Jesus' and his disciples' examples. In Old Testament times, God directly ordered killing of enemies; God knows exactly what He is doing. Jesus never killed anyone, neither did His disciples...

Excellent question and I appreciate the response and thought put into it thus far. It is my belief that the one being condemned by God had every chance in the world and would have been given that chance at repentence. John 17:12While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those...

Matthew 7:1Judge not, that ye be not judged, This particularly rings true when you are unaware of the situation. Sinners are welcome here because the community is started by one. However, those who seek merely to deface and blasphemy are not. Topic closed.

Isaiah 14:12How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! I Chronicles 1:21And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. Job 1:6-9Now there was a day when the sons of God came to...

So what are we to think about the Israelities and their army in the Old Testament? The same one that God sanctioned to be sent into battle? Loving your enemy doesn't mean practicing ignorance. The disciples around Jesus were known to carry weapons and that is Scripturally documented. Christians...

That's what I try to point out to all rapture believers. God certainly does not have to remove you from the scene to protect you. As I've said before, remember Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. God didn't remove them from the fire. Instead, He was right there with them!

I'm actually glad this was brought back up. I was doing some study in Isaiah the other night and I came across the following verse. It talks about when Christ returns and we all live under his rule where natural enemies will lie down together: Isaiah 11:8And the sucking child shall play on the...

I saw a story where a guy in India had a very similar dream and it all leads into this idea of a rapture.2 Corinthians 11:14And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
