I guess I'll put my three cents in. I'm against UH simply because healthcare isn't the governments business. Neither are the education systems or food stamps or interfering with state rights. Nor is it funding other countries war plans or supporting them with food and necessities in a...

For a better understanding I suggest re-reading post #10 by veteran.

Hi Butch, Your words: "If we look at the whole of Scripture we find that, the dead know nothing, that the dead cannot praise God, that the dead have no memory, and so on." If one ignores Ecc. as being at best unreliable on this topic, what are the rest of the "whole" that proclaim what you say...

Hi Butch, Your words: "Went is a Greek participle, preached is the verb, that's not an opinion that is the grammar. That's just the way language is, it doesn't change based on what we think about it. You can look up what I said in a Greek grammar and see that that is the case with participles."...

It’s been said that the “best offense is a good defense” and that brings us to step 2: Understanding the Armor of God and how to use it. Let’s read Eph. 6:10-18 “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11) Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against...

Hi Here, Sorry it's taken so long to reply but things have been hectic around my house lately. To answer your first question: "has satan ever deceived you in anyway at anytime?" My answer would be yes and in the category of faith vs. feelings. I was raised in a Pentecostal christian home and...

Hi Butch, I don't really care for the YLT. In the KJV it reads like this: 1 Pet. 3:18-21 - "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 19 By which also he went and preached...

Hi Phoneman, Your words: "Pre-Trib and Mid-Trib scenarios fail to incorporate one important revelation of Scripture: a completely destroyed Earth devoid of human activity. I don't see this description anywhere in the scrips, especially in Rev. Could you post some? Hi Born Again, Your words: "I...

Hi Phoneman, Regarding your conclusions, #1 BEFORE - “Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive. Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.” (Ecclesiastes 4:2-3 KJV)...

Hi Butch, Your words: "This is the only interpretation allowed by the Greek grammar." There is hardly ever only one interpretation for anything in the Greek. The same words are used for multiple meanings and usually the translators just gave it their "best guess" depending on the context before...

Sorry Butch, But your words: "If Peter is giving this in order the it would seem that the "messengers who sinned," the disobedient angles, are those of Noah's day. I believe these are the angles in prison that Jesus went and made the proclamation to." don't ring true. There is nothing in...

Hi Retro, Your words: “I was reading in Joshua chapters 13 through 21 about all the land that was promised to each of the tribes of Israel. The Land of Israel does NOT “belong” to them; all the Land belongs to YHWH! However, control over these territories was “leased,” so to speak, to each of...

Hi Axe, Okay, thanks for clarifying.

Hi Axehead, Excellent post and you brought up areas of interest that I didn't include in the OP, so thanks for the "back-up", so to speak. There was one area with which I am of a different opinion. Your words: "I submit unto you that when God gave this law and it was perpetual, the penalty was...

Good post!

phoneman, Your words: ") the fact that, as in the numerous cases in Scripture which declare the Spirit returns to God at death, Jesus' Spirit returned to God UPWARD while His Soul went DOWNWARD to the grave." prove this by scripture please

Phoneman, you addressed me but quoted someone else, which is it?

Hi Rocky, Your words: "If a preacher preaches a message on a passage and you have not heard it preached that way do you discount the preacher as being in error?" If it doesn't line up with rest of scripture, then yes!

Hi Retro, Regarding Heb. 11:1 – “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” Your words: “Faith is NOT hoping for things or not seeing things; it’s SUBSTANCE and EVIDENCE! What “substance?” Simply the actual parchment, vellum, papyri, paper or electronic...

Hi rjp, I know it's not yours, but personally, I really hate this saying: IF GOD DOES NOT JUDGE AMERICA, HE WILL HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO SODOM AND GOMORRAH. - Shanghai curse August 1937 As a veteran, I find it judgmental, arrogant and an absolute lie! I doubt the stated origin because at the...
