I wonder how many occurrences we would find of people deriving their spiritual identity from Satan in the Bible. Many, many, I would think. Axehead

It wasn't meant to be personal. How could it be? Christian history shows that the early church did not believe in fighting the world's wars. We have gone way off the scriptures in the last 2000 years to the point where we vilify Christians who seek to follow the Scriptures with all their heart...

Hi Dragonfly, I do intend to read that long dissertation, myself. I am fascinated by the subject because I can see this from Genesis to Revelation. The apostle John explained that it was obvious that there are “children of God” and “children of the devil” (I John 3:10). The apostle Paul...

That's because it's not about me, Strat. If I told you what my beliefs have cost me, that would have no effect on you compared to the effect that the Word of God should be having on you. My experiences do not trump God's Word. So, you see, I am not "feeling" based. I am Word based but you...

By your logic, then all Christians who pay their taxes, and obey the authorities in government, need to go one step further and offer their sons and daughters on the world's altar of warfare in order to be in your good graces and considered by you to be good Christians. It doesn't make them good...

Well, I made a big mistake in wondering if you were the "forum bully", because you seized that rabbit trail and still refuse to answer my question. Was Jesus a Pacifist? Did He or did He not teach and live Non-Resistance and overcome evil with good? This is ludicrous. Christian's do not...

Simple, yet profound. You could say it's profoundly simple. Axehead

It just sounds like you are setting yourself up to judge your brother when the Scriptures say: Gal 4:9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Gal 4:10 Ye observe days...

I know this is very difficult for the average American to understand as the American ideology is a far cry from New Testament Christianity. As with most human institutions Pacifism is a lofty goal to ending the rampant needless violence all over the globe, done to establish a peaceful earthly...

No, Strat, that is the Lord's position not mine. Mat 5:39 But I (Jesus) say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. If it wasn't for Jesus Christ in my life I would give into fear and use my hunting rifles to defend...

Have you run into people that are telling you how important it is to keep the Sabbath? There is definitely a move away from Christ back to Judaism, today. Back to “Sabbath Keeping”. It is happening all around us. We all know people that say they should keep the Sabbath Holy. One of the big...

I guess I don't know who Strat is, so I will stick with the Word of God. Jesus was not a Pacifist. Pacifism in many respects practices rebellion against the Scriptures. Much like those that want to bear arms and wipe out God's enemies. Thanks for your contribution aspen. Axehead

Thank you! That is exactly what it is - "Traditional Sabbath Observance", not Scriptural Sabbath Observance. No one follows Scriptural Sabbath observance - it is impossible. Good to see that Jesus and the disciples worked on the Sabbath to get themselves some food and also helped out others...

I don't support sin and neither I nor the Lord Jesus receives condemnation from you. Do you think you would have felt comfortable in the company of New Testament Believers and maybe even Jesus or would you be scolding them? Jesus doesn't let us go off in the flesh to right all the world's...

And another great subject is "Do you have sin consciousness or Christ consciousness?"

Whoa! How about a little reality here. Did you know this was in the Bible? According to God's Word, it is possible to: let the things which you have heard slip (Heb. 2:1) go astray (Mt. 18:12,13) err from the faith (1 Tim. 6:10,21) err from the faith and overthrow the faith of others (2...

No one can conform their lives to the image of Jesus. Christianity is not about emulating, imitating, mimicing, or modeling our lives after Jesus. That is impossible! Christianity is Christ and Christ is Christianity and as such, He must live in us by His Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ. He...

How do you know I have not been tested? We are talking about God's Word and what it says. Can't you comment on the Word of God? By the way, I explained what a Pacifist was earlier in this thread. Jesus was not a Pacifist and neither am I. Jesus did not teach Pacifism, He taught non-resistance...

Please show me where tithing is a biblical principle for new covenant CHristians? Are you saying it is a biblical law? If it is not a law but just a "principle", what kind of principle is it? Is it a required principle? That would make it a law. Please show me your scriptures so I can see why...

We know the context here is the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with His disciples. And, He is talking about things concerning His death. He tells the disciples to get a sword. Luk 22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath...
