Alice in Wonderland is a beautiful book. Perhaps that should be added also. There are so many other 'good' books we could add to the Bible. If we just added all of the Apocryphal books both Old and New Testament it would be wonderful. Because, the more the merrier. Plus, we should add...

Who came up with that rule? Stranger

Thanks Stranger

Yes. In a time when America was Christian. Stranger

Of course. Stranger

"White Christmas" 'Im dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones I used to know.....' Great song. Stranger

Why do you give quotes and don't give the reference where you got them from? Just saying someone said something means nothing. You are covering a time period 200 and 300 years after the Americans formed their laws to live by. America was founded as a Christian nation. The corruption and...

How to study the Bible is actually a pretty important matter. Everyone is affected by the Bible preaching or teaching they have grown up with. A Bible teacher not only teaches the Bible, but he also, whether he knows it or not, is teaching a method of Bible study. His method is understood by...

Again, that is not what I said. Salvation begins with being born-again. Salvation is not always the act of being born-again. Salvation entails ones walk after he is born-again. Salvation includes ones glorification which is yet future. (Acts 8:12-13) is clear. Belief was first. Then...

I didn't say one can be saved without being born-again. Oh!...is that what this thread is about? Obedience? Obey and be saved for the forgiveness of sins. That whosoever obeys Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. He that obeys Him is not condemned. See (John 3:16-18) Don't...

Scripture is clear that Abraham was declared righteous in (Gen. 15:6) Abraham's obedience in the sacrifice of Isaac was a fulfillment of that. That doesn't change the fact that Abraham was declared righteous by God in (Gen. 15:6). That is the whole point of imputation. You are declared what...

I believe it goes back to the prophecies concerning Noah's sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Gen. 9:24-29) The European people are from Japheth. God has blessed Japheth in that he dwells in the tents of Shem. And God has enlarged him all over the world. Christianity, Christendom, is...

Not lately. Anything special you are wanting to address? Stranger

I don't deny (1 Peter 3:21). It speaks to water baptism. Which "in a figure" saves us. Remember too what I said about salvation. It is not always the act of being born-again. Water baptism in a figure saves us, giving us a good conscience toward God. It is important in our walk of...

It doesn't matter if it is mentioned in (Gen. 15). (Gal. 3:16) is clear that it is speaking to Christ. And, (Gen. 15:6) is clear that righteousness is imputed to Abraham when he could do nothing but believe. God is the One Who imputes. He does it when He wants to. All the other...

No. You do not need to be water baptized to be born-again. I have explained already that water baptism is important in our salvation, but salvation does not always speak to just being born-again. You need to make those distinctions. And, just because the word 'wash' or 'cleanse' is...

To understand America's religious origin, you have to understand Puritanism. The Puritans in England were not a denomination of Protestants. Puritanism was to the Anglican Church of England what the Reformation was to the Roman Church. Much of what I say here comes from the books I have...

You're quite welcome. If and when that day should come in our time, I'm sure the Holy Spirit will give us what is needed. Stranger

What else do you think we will experience in a kingdom ruled by satan? Yes it is painful and can last for a lifetime, even have eternal effects upon us. How? Because God uses these things to shape us. We experience the things Christ experienced. Christians love to read and tell stories of...

I agree. It will be used as leverage against the church. Eventually, if you don't let women be pastors, or homosexuals be pastors, it will be threatened against them. Worse, if the church preaches hate, it will be used against them. And of course the enlightened liberal atheist will determine...
