My wife said she thinks I should be an eagle ... because they help with the housework :clmSmlx

Christians are not required to live according to the Law to obtain salvation because that was accomplished by Jesus' death and resurrection. However, some of the OT requirements shed light on how we ought to conduct ourselves. Would most churches condone a man coming to the church regularly in...

I've always thought that the judgment in Rev 20 includes the "truly ignorant" who are judged by their works. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was...

I do not have a problem with students (with their parents' permission) attending a service in a mosque as observers. However, any participation, by action or clothing, should not be a part of the experience. I would be equally against students attending a Catholic church and being told to...

Have you considered comparing all the Bible passages that mention the sun, the moon and the stars to see if that gives insight into how these objects are being used?

I believe you have it correct. We can see in Daniel 8:1 that "after" (ahar) refers to sequence ... it does not mean immediately after ... it was actually two years after Daniel chapter 7. Daniel 8:1 "In the third year of King Belshazzar’s reign, I, Daniel, had a vision, after the one that had...

If they have fulfilled their duty with integrity, I believe they will be rewarded by God for their courage in being willing to put their lives on the line to protect others. I am not sure how God will judge those who misuse Scripture to undermine their commitment in fulfilling God's will for...

I don't want to derail this thread, but just to let you know that I found it helpful to realize my similar symptoms have a natural explanation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnopompia

I've noticed that those who are the most vitriolic about Trump are also anti Israel. There seems to be a big divide between liberal Christians and conservative Christians in these matters. Conservative Christians are more likely to accept the Bible as the divinely inspired Word of God. I think...

I live in a retirement village and many are wondering what "straight" means ... I told them to ignore it and write in "normal". I am not going to accept a label that lgbt activists invented.

From my online forum experience, I would say that most regard the temple in 2 Thes 2:4 as literal.

One lesson of the last several months may be that being too open about an ever changing military situatiuon will attract hostile criticism.

I would like to suggest a little word study that I found helpful ... look up the Greek word translated "temple" (naos) and see how Paul consistently uses this word, especially in the expressioin "the temple of God".

Interesting to consider the difference between "not to lie for no reason" and "not to lie for any reason". I acn think of plenty of reasons to lie ... mostly to do with protecting other people.

I think it would be ok for a police officer to question someone carrying a baseball bat in a city street so he could determine the legitimacy of the situation. It seems as if the officer went straight for physical action rather than polite, respectful conversation.

I am always dismayed by those who use religious belief as a cloak for antisemitism.

You are explicitly supporting the genocide of Israel by denying them the right to destroy Hamas who have threatened to repeat the Oct 7th massacre. Those who use religious belief to cloak their antisemitism, are the most ardent in their defence of terrorists.

The problem I see with identifying the 'beast' as Islam, is that very few in the West will be deceived into 'worshiping' (Rev 14:9) Islam or an Islamic leader.

So then, a literal mark would be irrelevant to whether one is saved or lost. Perhaps you are going to the wrong church. :clmSmlx

So you think the video was about church history ... LOL And obviously you know nothing about the development of Catholic doctrine & liturgy as it evolved in the medieval period.
