How do you suppose Christianity would have spread without the Bible? Through word of mouth alone? That doesn't seem likey. There is a saying: The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed; the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed. It's been said that one-third of the New Testament...

I believe that is God's intent but sometimes it doesn't work out that way. Is it? We are taught that sex outside of the sacrament is evil, not sex itself. How so?

Just to answer your direction question, I don't believe so. If anything, they work for Satan. But can God use demons and fallen angels for a greater good? I think so. God allowed Satan to attack Job to prove a point. It's not that Satan was working for God per se, but God can used his own evil...

Weak men.

He's too stubborn to quit on his own, plus he feels protected in the president's seat. He will have to be forced out and Dems will be the ones doing it.

Hugh Ross believes in micro evolution but not in macro evolution, which is Darwinian evolution.

Hello, a few thoughts... That is a contradiction in terms. An agnostic doesn't know if there is a God or not. A deist believes there is a God but doesn't believe He is involved in human affairs. I would ask her, If we came from monkeys, then why didn't monkeys evolve? For all the supposed...

Carbon-14 dating seems less reliable the further back you go. It presumes that the rate of decay has always been constant, which we don't know for certain. Regardless, there are environmental factors that can throw off the results.

This is just part of the trials and tribulations of this life. In other words, stuff happens.

I didn't think he would, either. I was wrong on that. I looked back at the 2020 debate, and Biden's decline is evident in just four years. There's a pretty big consensus on both sides that Biden did poorly, although I think they are setting the stage for a switcheroo. Every time I start to...

I've heard this argument before. A large degree depends on how God judges those who have died in ignorance, which is largely obscure. There's only two things God can judge someone on who died in ignorance: how much they knew and how they responded to it. Paul teaches that God is revealed in...

I don't think it's that. Even Jesus referred to God as the Father. Either we take Jesus' words at face value or we don't. True, a spirit is genderless, but for whatever reason, God has chosen to embody the masculine form.

There's a reason why he never left D.C. Obama has been conducting a shadow government since Trump came into office, and he's still at it.

This might be a little out there, even by unorthodox doctrine standards, but it's just something I've been musing over lately. There's a heavy dose of speculation involved, and I don't claim any of it to be emphatically true. It's more of a thought experiment than anything. I hold to the...

I am the ultimate example of it's never too late. I didn't do anything with my life until I was around aged 40. It was the perfect storm of anxiety, no direction, and lack of confidence that made me fearful of doing anything. So, I just shut down and gave up for nearly two decades. I had no job...

Isaiah 14:3 begins by talking about the fall of the king of Babylon, but then the narrative shifts to Lucifer in Isaiah 14:12, who is the real power behind the king of Babylon. The fact that he is called a "man" is missleading. The Hebrew word used here for "man" is not "'āḏām" but "'îš". This...

Polygamy was permitted, but I don't believe it was ever God's intent as evidenced by Adam and Eve. It was common during Old Testament times, but by the time of the New Testament, it seems to have lost favor. Several couples are mentioned in the New Testament, and they only had one wife. Jesus...

I speculate that there "may" be a pathway for some, not all, who died in ignorance to go to heaven, but I don't know what I don't know. And I wouldn't call it merit, but grace. God isn't fair, but he is just. We can only trust that he deals with everyone justly. Of course, because our choices...

Maybe they did. There are three groups of people who have ever lived: Those who have heard the gospel and responded to it. Only their works are judged, but not their salvation. Those who have heard the gospel and rejected it. They are judged and condemned to eternally atone for their own sins...

"that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (Rom 10:9) It's pretty cut and dry. Without accepting Jesus, there is no way to get into heaven. It's not about us; it's about Jesus. We are not more deserving...
