Christian leaders think that they are helping the people by teaching them. What they are actually doing, many times, is spiritually killing them. Filling them with the knowledge of good.

I can see if people personally dislike the notion of polygamy, but I think it is not possible to prove that God does not approve of it.

Well...that presupposes that they would see right if they were well fed. I don't believe that to be the case. Teaching is actually killing the church rather than helping it.

Perspective by Justin Mangonel Tabernacle Theology Series One of the greatest needs in Christianity today is the need for perspective. Many individuals, churches, and even whole denominations could be likened to a person viewing a gigantic, yet intricate painting from six inches away...

Hi G, I must respectfully disagree with your assertion that God is not concerned with the cares of this world. We have ample Bilbical evidence that He is. The flood, the Tower of Babel, Assyria and Babylon being moved against Israel ...it is everywhere in the Bible. God is influencing the...

Hi all, I personally believe, because of the scriptures in the latter part of Ezekiel, that the nation of Israel will be restored in and dominate the millennium. I also believe they will be put back under the law and the knowledge of Christ as savior will be withheld from them. It is only at...

Hi All, I believe that God is in the process of judging America but maybe not as some people might think. 1. Literally trillions of dollars are being transferred from our country to predominently Muslim countries that do not like us but are, on balance, more moral that we are. 2. God is...

The central problem with speaking to some who hold the doctrine of the trinity as inviolate is that you are not dealing with people on a purely reasoned level. Unfortuantely, because it is heresy, demonic spirits are at the root of it and they drive the conversation. The difficult truth is...

Rex, Good thing you were not in Eden.

And They Were Not Ashamed by Justin Mangonel Tabernacle Theology Series It is written, "And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed." Genesis 2:25 I want to talk with you about true purity and the nature of Christian intimacy. Please understand that if I am...

God does not change but the future changes as we make our decisions. God may foresee our mistakes and know that he will change his plan but that does not mean that we are doing what He intended. God did not make Adam sin. Adam did that himself. It was not God's plan for Adam to sin. What I...

Hey Servant, Well, what I am saying is that portions of many differing viewpoints are correct...thus the harmonization.

A Glass Darkly by Justin Mangonel Tabernacle Theology Series Do we or don’t we have the complete revelation of God? Depending on how you answer this question says a lot about your theological view of our Father. On one hand, if you believe that the scriptures are complete...

Yes, God does revise His plan quite often because of our disobedience. The Flood was a major one. Aaron being Moses right hand man was another. the forty years in the wilderness is yet another...and the list goes on and on. This is not in doubt.

I have no response to that.

Hi RT, I don't think that destroying the entire universe violates any scripture. I mean, it does say a New Heavens and New Earth for the first was passed away. If I buy a new car it does not mean it is my old car fixed up. For some reason there tend to be these strongly held assumptions...

Wow, I don't really understand why people are so into having God preserve this Heavens and Earth. That makes no sense to me at all from the scriptures.

Argumentum ad populum does not really mean that much to me else I would be a Catholic.

The Rapture : Hamonizing Differing Viewpoint by Justin Mangonel Tabernacle Theology Series When trying to understand any doctrine it is good to stand back and gain God's perspective. As I mentioned in some of my previous posts understanding Gods word is often hindered by a type of scriptural...

Rex, We are here to simply discuss our viewpoints and set forth our reasons for why we believe. We should not take things personally if people do not agree with us or cannot see our point of view.
