The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed, and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed. It’s one book. And it's the same God of both the Old and New Testament, and He is still the same God today, yesterday, and forever (Heb 13:8). The only difference between the old and new...

The last time that happened, there was a civil war. States have a high degree of sovereignty, but it does have limits. Federal laws trump state laws, and immigration is under the purview of the federal government.

It's a lengthy post for sure, but I wanted to leave no stone unturned.

Then what you're essentially saying is you don't believe the Bible. To deny that the Israelites were used by God as a form of judgment against the Canaanite nations would also be to deny God flooded the world and destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Your views are inconsistent with the New Testament...

If Israel’s true goal was "genocide", they could have done so a long time ago and without much difficulty. The numbers, however, do not support that narrative. According to The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, Gaza's population in 2015 was 1.76 million. As of mid-2025, Gaza's population...

First and foremost, it’s not God’s will that anyone should perish (2Pe 3:9), and hell was not originally created for humans but for Satan and his fallen angels (Matt 25:41). If it’s not God’s will for anyone to perish, then whose will is it? This is where human free will comes into play. As...

The existence of hell is a concept that some find difficult or unwilling to grasp. They are unable to reconcile the seeming paradox of such a place existing alongside a loving God who wants the best for us. Alternate explanations have existed to explain it away. However, I believe that not only...

It seems self-apparent to me, Mark. Isaiah prophesied they would be born in a day (Isa 66:8), and that happened. Jeremiah and Ezekiel prophesied Israel would be regathered from the nations (Jer 31:10, Eze 11:17). Well, that happened too. Deuteronomy 29:23 says the land would flourish again...

Paul said ALL Israel will be saved. “All” doesn’t mean a few or a remnant; it means all. Have Jews today accepted Jesus as the Messiah? Maybe a few Jews have, but by and large, they have not. They have remained blinded for the past 2,000 years. No, I’m just interpreting differently than you...

Romans 11 speaks of a spiritual restoration of Israel, and he makes a distinction between Gentile believers and Israel. He clearly says we gentiles do not support the root (Israel), but the root supports us. We were grafted in, but we do not replace Israel. We stand as a placeholder of sorts...

How so?

So, you think it only applied to Abraham? That's a lot to get into, but I believe it does: Rom 11:1- 4 Paul clearly states that God is not done with the nation of Israel, making a distinction between the Church and Israel. Rom 11:5-10 God chose a remnant from Israel; the rest he hardened...

Ever since the October 7th massacre that killed 1,200 people in Israel, mostly civilians, there has been a marked increase in online anti-Israel rhetoric. No longer is such rhetoric relegated to the left, but it has infected the right side of the isle as well. It has now become fashionable to...

There wasn't just one covenant in the Bible; there are at least seven "distinct" covenants. Some were conditional and temporal, and others were not. The covenant with Abraham was unconditional and everlasting (Gen 17:7-8). I don't know about you, but to me, everlasting means everlasting. It's...

Because it's spiritual in nature. There is no other explanation why a tiny ethnic minority have been the most persecuted people in history or why the world is so focused on a tiny country the size of New Jersey. Ukraine is a secular state too, as are most of the governments in the world. So...

I think he does. He's just became a lowly mayor with very limited political experience and radical policies. I give it a year or two before buyer's remorse kicks in.

That seems like a convenient way to pick and choose the things you like while disregarding the rest.

I don't think it does. God in his omnipotence can choose where His presence is or is not. I disagree. There's plenty of scriptural support for it.

I can think of several reasons, but the erroneous assumption is that Jesus is the one causing it. Hell is not a terrible place because God made it a terrible place. It's a terrible place because He isn't there. Just as cold is merely the absence of heat and darkness is the absence of light, hell...

If what is real is what we can see, then reality is just light waves bouncing off objects, entering our eyes, and being interpreted by our brains via electrical signals. That means that even colors are not real. The reality is, we can't perceive 99.99% of the world around us. We can only see a...
