    TRUMP WINS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION!

    Most of them are losing their broadcast license this next year. Most are under heavy litigation for libel and slander. Then there's the fees which will be increased drastically too. They will not be able to afford to remain MSM. Only a few will remain.

    Why do the wise virgins not share their oil with the foolish virgins?

    Shalom unto you, The light/oil is not for the torch bearer but for others to light their way unto salvation. But the Bridegroom is only interested in those helping others finding their way and are busy still helping others. "It is good for those the Master of the House finds still...

    Is the Bible the word of God?

    Remember, God doesn't change....He is immutable. Meaning that your revelation of God has to line up with what the scriptures teach. So long as that is going on you will have no problem at all with anything I say. Now granted, a LOT of people interpret the scriptures in a LOT of different way...

    Is the Bible the word of God?

    Because of the plethora of consistent copies and recitations of scriptures in literature outside of scriptures themselves. There have been so many quotes of scriptures in various writings and letters and books we could reconstruct the entirety of scriptures without a copy of an intact Bible...

    Is the Bible the word of God?

    Well we can get into apologetics....but that's not what was asked. But you can read the "Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy" by Googleing it and reading it in its entirely. Then get back to me. Wouldn't want you to come to battle of wits unarmed.

    Is the Bible the word of God?

    1Peter 1: 23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. 24 For, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, 25 but the word of the...

    Instagram-famous squirrel euthanized after it was taken from owners in New York

    They took it simply because it brought someone joy and happiness but happened to be from the "wrong" political persuasion. Meaning.... It's getting really scary to be a voice in the process anymore.

    Is the Bible the word of God?

    Right....I lost you from the first words I said obviously. The essence of scriptures is the essence of God. You want to know God? Then know the scriptures. Ignorance of scriptures, that you have full access to, can kill you not in mortal life but your immortality is gonna be real iffy...

    Is the Bible the word of God?

    I would not say "loosely speaking". The standard Protestant English Bibles ARE the Wörd of God. Not just the words but God's essence in EVERY language. The Gospel of John, chapter 1 verse 14 explains that Jesus is the Wörd made flesh. So while you might have your excuses and point at...

    Why doesn't your "whole Bible view" include Universalism?

    Why? Why would God think such a thing? Think of a programmer deleting a line of code he wrote that didn't work appropriately.

    Why doesn't your "whole Bible view" include Universalism?

    Because you are not applying one of the most important hermeneutics to the scriptures you have listed here. The originalist viewpoint. In our world today it is considered not only uncouth to label someone as a racist or hold prejudices against others outside of your "group" it is a charge...

    Running The Race

    And that story....I love it. Abraham is 99 years old in the story. His running is not going to be the same as a 30-somethings speed or agility. He is heavy set and old. But that the scriptures said that he ran is completely outside the box to get Sarah (and her servants) to knead up 60-75...

    Running The Race

    This one is also especially interesting. It was considered a complete disgrace to lose all your money to the Gentiles. And a son taking his share of family money also is shameful. So...in this instance... It is as if ALL propriety had been lost at this point for the family....a little...

    Running The Race

    Paul talks about "running the race towards Christ" But running in the Ancient Near East was completely undignified. No respectable Adult ran ever...they walked. The most famous instance of "running" was when Peter ran to the Tomb of Jesus. But... This is the Bible Study forum...

    Biden Judge forces VA to put 1600 self attested non citizens back on the voter rolls

    First off... The 1600 are a joke. That's a drop in the bucket of the illegal voters on the roles of voters in Virginia. They removed 1600 but not the hundreds of thousand of ineligible voters on the roles. So where they are arguing over 1600...it's a joke. We need Federal involvement in...

    Run AWAY from Calvinism!

    This question of Arminianism v Calvinism is at least as old as the New Testament itself. The story of the man born blind in John's Gospel details this argument. Which Jesus said "BOTH SIDES ARE WRONG". And the arguing about this is especially wrong. The parable of soils is the truth...
