    Separation of Church and State a Red Herring.

    Yes, it became the Holy Roman empire and persecutions of Christians stopped and Christianity became accepted in the world today.

    Separation of Church and State a Red Herring.

    There are Christians in the Federal, State, County, and local governments, always have been, as well as all military branches. Its a good thing to have honestly and integrity for the most part in our all areas of governments. I've seen it in action, because I worked in governments and saw...

    The Deception of Tithing and Paid Pastors

    True, I was just starting with the costs of utilities alone. Yes, I've worked with food pantry's too. It took donations and volunteers to distribute it. In a half way house in S. Carolina that had a church and soup kitchen for the inmates, I helped out there too. They took up an offering to fund...

    The Deception of Tithing and Paid Pastors

    The way I see it. Would you go to a church that doesn't have AC and Heat, and bathrooms? The church needs funds for that. Maybe in a small church you can show up in spring and not use the bathrooms. But I've been to close to 100 different church's and all had AC and Heat, and bathrooms. Even the...

    Biblical Archaeology

    The visions of Ezekiel's and John's Revelation are symbolic with imagery. Actually, Ezekiel's vision can be figured out more because of out of vision statements.

    Biblical Archaeology

    That's a different kind of vision from the Lord. In the old testament the Lord came upon the prophet and caused a scene to be seen while in a trance like state. I've seen visions but not like Ezekiel. I know what Ananias's vision was like.

    The cherubim were in the vision, of course.

    Ezekiel 1:1 says specifically these are visions of God.

    Receive the HS, how today ?

    Acts 2:38 is Peter's version of John the Baptist's baptism with the added '"receive the gift of the Holy Spirit". Acts 8:14-18 is the Apostles only gift to lay hands on and Ephesians 1:13 is correct for today.

    Lesbian bishop Yvette Flunder draws backlash for saying Bible needs a third testament

    Any Church that has a woman Pastor, doesn't have a Pastor. The bible spells it out plainly. I was working in a church and the Holy Spirit told me too leave quickly, I put in two weeks notice and left. It was a conservative church. 3 months later, they had a woman pastor and they love her.

    Receive the HS, how today ?

    I don't know where you got your information. My 1977 NASB does not say Holy Ghost, its always Holy Spirit. When Jesus walked on water, the apostles thought it was a ghost or apparition, not the Holy Spirit. I haven't read the original Tyndale copy, but the KJV is 90% Tyndale copy. So that's not...

    Receive the HS, how today ?

    In the for a couple of hundred years spirits were called ghosts. In the later 1700's and into the 1800's ghost stories were common at Christmas. The 1611 KJV and the 1769 had Holy Ghost and Holy Spirit and the NT did to from translations from Tyndale and Geneva bibles. It was just the culture...

    I checked the AKJV and Holy Ghost is mentioned 41 times in the book of Acts.

    Receive the HS, how today ?

    Acts 2:4. I don't use the KJV. I use the 1977 NASB. The 1995 NASB has Holy Spirit 10 times in the OT and 95 times in the NT.

    A BLATANT ERROR IN THE NEW BIBLES

    Think of it this way, "Mankind shall not live by bread alone" The reference is to Mankind. OF course it doesn't exclude women.

    A BLATANT ERROR IN THE NEW BIBLES

    In Genesis Adam is translated as both man and mankind. God does not change, Malachi 3:6. Jesus always referred to man and mankind also. Do not forget, Christ is the head of man, man the head of women. That was put forth in the garden of Eden. God does not change. It is a male dominated society...

    A BLATANT ERROR IN THE NEW BIBLES

    Yes, my main bible is the only bible translation that started as a non profit ministry. The currently unavailable 1977 NASB. The 1971 in rarer, but you can still find one by AMG for 25 bucks new. I use that as well as one I bought new in the box that's 40 years old. That's the one the Lord told...

    Pure religion

    You keep circling around words without scripture. Start using a scripture instead of applying word salad and rambling.

    Pure religion

    Reading through the posts, I kept reading the reference to "Judaism" as a religion. I'll just point out that there is no such thing. It was Mosaic law to the Jews. Today, pure religion is the worship of God through our High Priest, Christ Jesus.
