So, is Christ a minister of sin? Enlighten me.

The church isn't a building, its a people. We've come to call those places where congregations gather "a church," but its just a place to gather and could just as well be a cave. The problem isn't where a flag is placed in a "sanctuary" (as though the church's meeting places had replaced the...

I tend to agree with your assessment in regard to Adam's disobedience, but when God questioned Adam about what had happened, Adam was pretty quick to give Eve up, in spite of the fact that she was bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. While Eve was the first to transgress God's commandment...

While these verses make it clear that the dead have no ability to do anything with regard to the living and no knowledge (of the living world) they don't tell us that the dead cease to exist. The only picture that Jesus gave us of sheol (or hades) was in the story of the rich man who dies and...

Spot on brother. Romans 5:12-13 12. Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned 13. (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. I've read Ecclesiastes a few dozen...

Perhaps you've proven that Papal infallibility is a myth, or that church infallibility is a myth, (if anything), but the Pope didn't apply for some job he saw in the papers, he was elected by a council of church leaders and according to RC doctrine is now a successor to the Apostolic authority...

There were Nazis in America before WWII, they were called "the bund." There are still Nazi's in America today. We put an end to Hitler's regime, but modern Germany has spent years subjugating their European neighbors economically (as suggested in Mein Kampf.) We put an end to Imperial Japan by...

Thanks for the references, but I haven't read the book (and don't intend to do so), but was more concerned with statements made at the Strange Fire conference and aired on "Grace to you," which I am in the habit of listening to when I'm assigned to do repairs in the shop at which I'm currently...

I agree that the Holy Spirit gives us the interpretation of scripture when we take time to read them and restrict our thinking to sound exegetical principles, but men are inclined to superimpose their own ideas and vain imaginations upon scripture, which is part of the reason that there are so...

The server for the board seems to be in some sort of distress at the moment and I'm unable to quote specific posts, but Retrobyter answered my question about the Pleiades. I had two reasons that I was curious about the references to the Pleiades in the book of Job. One was that I've had two...

It may just be a matter of semantics, but my understanding is that biblical scholars refer to the teaching of the Holy Spirit through His word, as illumination, not revelation. Revelation is generally understood to refer to new revealed truth about God (as in the book we know as the Revelation...

Does anyone know if the Hebrew translated in the KJV as "the pleides" literally refers to that specific star cluster, or was that possibly just some Masonic influence in the translation?

Of course not, but it is blasphemous to attribute works done by the Holy Spirit through believers to Satan, which MacArthur did if any of the works done by "charismatics" have been genuine. When I was young, I heard the "testimony" of a man named Marjoe Gortner, the son of a tent revivalist...

He's actually done a bit more than that (if you were following the excerpts from the Strange Fire conference that were aired on Grace to You.) J.M. literally defined everyone associated with the Charismatic movement as a heretic and in one shot alienated hundreds of thousands of people who have...

It was Masonic historians that made the claim in the first place. (See pg. 224 of "The builders: A story and study of Masonry" by John Fort Newton, of the Grand lodge of Iowa, published by The Torch Press of Cedar Rapids Iowa in 1914 and subsequent years (now available in PDF.)) The real problem...

Jefferson was a rebel and that's what he and his kind chose to do. Even the Boston tea party was the work of the local Masonic lodge. The Masons have given a great deal of ink and air to the idea of liberty, but they were always about license. Again the scripture is plain enough" 1. Let every...

You might be interested to know that the Free Masons also consider themselves "children of light," and that the founders of the Mormon church and of the Jehovah's witnesses church were both Free Masons as well. Of course, at higher degrees of Free Masonry, the light bearer is called Lucifer by...

The Lord has used our country as a force for good at times according to His sovereign purpose. The Lord raised up Babylon as the most powerful nation in the world while under the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar and used that nation to Judge Judah, but not because they were righteous. An announcer...

Actually, I know a local community Baptist church that is in the process of changing their name so that they won't be associated with those extremist that you mentioned, but those that believe that the Holy Spirit has stopped doing signs for the sake of unbelievers, stopped speaking to...

Credit, debit, what does it matter? I'm glad that the Roman Catholic Church took action against free masonry as well, but who's free of corrupting influence in this world? Under the Old covenant of law, the Levitical priests had to perform sacrifices almost continuously and it was dirty, bloody...
