My two cents: Jesus, equal to the Father and like the Holy Spirit, and being the appointed judge of the world, was being accused of lawlessness by some of His contemporaries, but He had this to say: 17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to...

Yeah, there was one who played pro base ball (I think for Oakland,) so what? How many men do you know named Joshua? Every one of them is a "Jesus" if you want to consider the Lord's given name, but what's the point? If you want Biblical examples, how about Hosheah, son of Nun, whom Moses called...

I believe that the Chinese people are receiving some benefit from the growth of their economy, but a friend of mine from the Chinese mainland claimed that all (or most of) the revenue that the Chinese government is "raking in" is going directly into the single largest military build up in the...

All world religion is inspired by Satan. The gods of the nations are demons. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. Mohammed lived 600 years after Christ and the Quran post dated all the biblical writings; It's not surprising that he knew enough about the Bible to hijack prophecies and...

Under the FEMA act, the government is prepared to rebuild a government infra structure with all the attendant beauracracy, even in the absence of any of the current political leaders. The biggest problem with FEMA's plans is that their emergency government doesn't require elected officials and...

I can't speak for John MacArthur or anyone but myself, but MacArthur teaches a pre-millennial rapture and in order to hold to such a doctrine you must create artificial distinctions between saints before the start of the great tribulation and after. The book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ...

I caught a few seconds of news yesterday while on a break and did the president of the United States really say "God bless planned parenthood?" Perhaps he meant that God should bless the good things that they do for women as opposed to the millions of abortions that they perform on demand. Lord...

Shirley you've got to be kidding. :lol: Try reading the Bible with this in mind: God is not confused nor does He contradict Himself. The church of latter day saints hasn't gotten the point yet, but if they did they might actually get saved.

Hello Retrobyter, grace and peace to you, brother. I seldom would have cause to disagree with you as your background qualifies you to speak from a Jewish perspective, but I'll have to disagree with you here on your latter point. But first, although the passage you quoted from Exodus may be...

These arguments tend to be very interesting and I'll be the first to admit that I consider most doctrines that replace Israel with the church to be of a carnal and anti-semitic nature. The artificial distinctions are usually required to support some fanciful doctrine like the pre-trib rapture...

wow. I'm curious, what made the 4 doors holy?

At this time, the vast majority of men and women in active duty as members of the United States Military are self professed "Christians." While evangelicals are a relatively small part of that number, I doubt that the rest would be willing to treat evangelicals the same was as terrorists. This...

Hello again, Shirley, I have a friend at work, the brother who introduced me to the Lord and prayed with me to receive Him by faith. We don't work on the same shift anymore, but I usually have a little time to talk to him on any given day and occasionally take a change of shift to work with...

Hello Shirley, It's not my intention to upset you, but I wanted to ask you a question or two. When I was a child, if someone asked me if I were a Christian, I would have said yes, because I was raised believing that I was Christian by virtue of birth to a "Christian" mother, catechism in the...

God is certainly a god of order as well as One of justice. Order implies a hierarchy of sorts, but the hierarchy of "the church" was defined in terms of "the body": 11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of...

The scripture defines deacons and elders as overseers and demands a degree of respect afforded to them, but they were also given as "under shepherds, not as overlords: 41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be greatly displeased with James and John. 42 But Jesus called them to Himself and...

19 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed,[a] which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation,[b]21 for prophecy never came...

Sixtus ordered the bishops to take a direct role in all future tribunals. They were to ensure that the Church's well-established norms of justice were respected. The accused were to have legal counsel and the right to appeal their case to Rome. In the Middle Ages, the pope's commands would have...

I've already done all the catholic bashing that I care to do today, but I would like to point out that civil litigation is about the assignment of guilt, not about truth. If you need to find fault and hypocrisy, usually a mirror will suffice. Maybe we can encourage one another to seek Christ as...

According to an article written by Reverand Thomas Nasta, the National Chaplain of the First Catholic Slovak Union of the United States and Canada, the RC church will be offering indulgences to remove part of or all temporal punishment for sin, courtesy of Pope Benedict and his proclamaition of...
