    When the Pulpit Becomes a Paycheck

    It's USA TODAY....a MSM. Main Stream Media outlet. Of course it's going to say those things. But this story covers a real incident that happened. Televangelist have been hauled before congress and undergone Congressional investigations because they are fleecing our nation's citizens and...

    When the Pulpit Becomes a Paycheck

    Several, including one you mentioned, were hauled before congress to explain themselves and their vast monetary and assets accumulations. These are actually the group of people who are the largest holders of antique furniture and artwork of anyone. All tax free donations and tax free...

    understanding the time frames fit in Revelation

    Hypothetical question here.... If you somehow figured out the day and hour of God's "Return".....knew it with all certainty. What difference would it make? What would you do differently? Do you somehow think that you are going to be able to say "Told you so" in Heaven and gain satisfaction...

    Are We in the End Times? How Long Do We Have?

    It's tomorrow.... You are out of time.

    When the Pulpit Becomes a Paycheck

    Do not muzzle the ox while treading out the grain. The workman deserves his wages. Now when the salary is exorbitantly high....that might be a problem.

    JOHN 3:1 ISRAEL MUST BE BORN AGAIN

    Nowhere in John 3 does Jesus use the aramaic word for "become". He does not tell Nicodemus that he needs to become something or transform his life....it's not there in any fashion. You either treasure EVERY word or you don't.

    Lukewarm as Indifference Toward God - He prefers Cold to Indifferent

    Ummmm I hate to be a killjoy here. But let's look at a map. It WILL help. See the Lycus river....see the white on the mountains. That means snow melt. COLD water in the river for farms....meaning nourishing. The hot springs at Hierapolis were not only breathtaking to see but...

    Is sex only for procreation?

    We have a baby shortage in the entire English speaking world and many other countries. South Korea is facing a complete societal collapse soon because their age demographics of their nation is an inverted pyramid. Not a rectangle or upside down trapezoid....an inverted pyramid. There are no...

    Why did God gave me ADHD?

    There is a story in John about a man born blind. And there at the time was a huge debate along the same lines of Calvinism and arminianism. The debate was framed by "Who Sinned to make this man be born blind" Was it corporate sin or individual sin that caused this. The answer was: "No...

    Why did God gave me ADHD?

    Apparently HE thought you needed it and the attributes it can cause for some reason....from hyperfocus to flying from topic to topic.... I dunno....but I am not you. And God deals with each of us on an individual basis. Beer laha roi.....the God who sees me is what that means and is a name...

    WHAT IS THE WATER IN JOHN 3:5?

    That's hilarious.... That is a "whole cloth" concept. Meaning not in the tapestry of Judeo Christianity.

    JOHN 3:1 ISRAEL MUST BE BORN AGAIN

    Nope.... Ummmm Hate to break it to you but you don't rate that high on my list of things to ponder or think about. I'm much more focused on stripping paint, the new airless sprayer I got a wonderful deal on, and how good my life has been these past several years. Then there's assisting my...

    JOHN 3:1 ISRAEL MUST BE BORN AGAIN

    Oh yeah? Prove it! What am I thinking about now?

    JOHN 3:1 ISRAEL MUST BE BORN AGAIN

    Nope, wrong again. You really know less than nothing about me. But we will know who is saved by their fruits.

    WHAT IS THE WATER IN JOHN 3:5?

    There's a huge disparity between what you are claiming to be true and what the Scriptures say. In fact it's polar opposite.

    JOHN 3:1 ISRAEL MUST BE BORN AGAIN

    Nope. That's not what scripture/God said in the passage you are quoting. Yoḥanan (John) 3:3 TS2009 [3] יהושע answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born from above, he is unable to see the reign of Elohim.” https://bible.com/bible/316/jhn.3.3.TS2009 This...

    Are Ouija boards (also called “spirit boards”) harmless?

    Under Torah law.... Israel does not make weapons for sale. They can and do design and build defensive munitions....for sale. (Missile defense and etc). All their munitions are made elsewhere and purchased. The pagers were unique....it sucked to be hamas that day. The Palestinians are...

    Are Ouija boards (also called “spirit boards”) harmless?

    The Hinom valley or gehenna was the trash pit in Israel. Where everyone threw garbage. Occasionally it would be lit on fire with lamp oil. A slow smoldering fire due to the moisture content. The poor were also usually placed there instead of buried. The "worm" is the maggots that would...
