That's wild, an NSA web site. I never even heard of that agency before, but it is a .gov site. "Defending our nation. Securing the future." it just makes you feel all warm and tingly inside.

I just saw a news article on my verizon home page about the Navy deploying it's first laser (weapon I assume, lasers have been in use for listening through windows for decades now) designed to shoot down drones (or war heads). I hope It works. I doubt the Iranians would've developed MIRVs yet by...

I read somewhere that the Vatican was considering doing away with celibacy vows and allowing priests and nuns to have normal familial relationships. Is there anything to this or is it just another wild rumor?

We've gone down that road before in discussions about the Millennial reign of Christ and in those cases you simply ignored scripture that doesn't fit your theology. So do you really want me to give you a list of passages which demonstrate the works of the prophets that have little or at times...

I saw a commercial a few nights ago for a special that is to be aired soon on TV called "Years of living dangerously" and which features a number of "celebrities" and focuses on the string of disasters and calamities that have been plaguing the world for more than a decade with increasing...

Exactly! Did you formulate your theory yourself from studying the scripture or did you pick that up in a seminary or through the teaching of some seminary student? Like theologians, I place great value upon the word of God; but the scripture is not the source of our being, nor the author of our...

Thank you for defining what a prophet is and is not. I'm sure that the Lord will be happy to hear it and stands corrected.

In a sense, the church itself is a nation, or at least we understand it as part of a kingdom whose King and Sovereign is God Himself in the person of His Son. Again, those things which we know about the prophets are still those things which were preserved in the body of scripture, yet these...

Theologians and biblical scholars of note, men like John MacArthur and R.C. Sproul as modern examples, typically contend that the role of the prophet under the covenant of Law was primarily delivering to us the word of God, the Holy Scriptures, and they arrive at this conclusion from the books...

Thank you for that testimony. I greatly appreciate your honesty and I know something of the feeling of being betrayed by the nation that I've served. If your heart is with Christ, and I do believe that it is, then keep in mind that He has delivered us from the kingdom of darkness and into His...

An evil and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but there is wisdom in heeding sound counsel. I didn't identify the gift in myself, but some brothers in the Lord told me years ago about my calling and the grief it would bring to me. I've always identified with Jonah more than the other...

They can't stop me from turning up, but they could ask me to leave. Personally, I don't care to be where I'm unwanted. I was told that I caused a "big ruckus" with my letter, so I have to assume that it hit home, but it was never my intention to tear down anything sound and if I knew what the...

I like the donkey thing as an avatar (if I can use that word here), and yes I would agree with you. Fact of the matter is that I've been asked not to return to one church congregation's worship services (at the place where I was baptized) unless I write a letter to the elders about a strong...

When we read the writings of the Apostle Paul we find in a number of places an analogy of the church in the form of "the body of Christ" and Paul teaches us that the body can only function properly if each part does what it was created to do. 4. For as we have many members in one body, but all...

These things are all done out in the open for anyone to see. I work at an agency which is responsible for a large part of the infrastructure in the NY Metro area; quite a few builders and engineers employed there, and its not unusual to get the Masonic handshake from someone or see some other...

Nothing new. e.g. See the album cover for the old "Sgt. Pepper's lonely hearts club band" put out by the Beetles back in the 70's. The bald guy in the crowd with the spooky eyes was Alister Crowley (dead since 1947), the originator of a cult that is still alive today (with the motto "do as thou...

Thank you for speaking the truth in love. I didn't read your entire message as I'd read enough to understand what the Lord was telling you. I heard something very similar on a Christian radio program this very day on WMCA while driving home from work, not about the cultic movement that you were...

Hi Arnie. The song of Moses in the first 43 verses of chapter 32 of the book of Deuteronomy suggests that the restoration of Israel will only occur in its fullness after the judgment of the nations (when comparing this to what the book of the Revelation says in chapters 19 and 20, this is at the...

I've met many "Christians" and corresponded with quite a few on forums like this one, that call upon the name of the Lord, but haven't accepted His righteousness (or accepted that His gift of propitiation is sufficient for their salvation.) When people tell you that they aren't sure of their...

Never mind, forget about it, the question is probably as pointless as the topic.
