    It's talking about the literal renewal of the heavens and the earth. They will be restored physically.

    How Can Christians Be So Quick To Shut You Out?

    I applaud your efforts my friend. I believe the reason you get banned or your questions go unanswered is because they probably don't know the answers. It's kind funny, it seems every single Christian totally understands what a Christian is so if one doesn't agree with them then that person...

    Is it ok for a Christian to kill people?

    I'm sorry Thomas but Jesus does not allow the Christian to kill period. Christians live from the NT until it comes to this issue of War, then they head to the OT to attempt to support claim that war or self defense is OK. That, however, doesn't work. You see God foretold through Isaiah of a time...

    Is it ok for a Christian to kill people?

    But the Christan's country is the kingdom of God, which does not war in the physical realm. Jesus dosen't allow the Christian to kill for any reason.

    Christianity and the Death Penalty in America

    Well said my friend! The question isn't whether or not governments can use the death penalty, the question is, is it compatible with Christianity?

    Is it ok for a Christian to kill people?

    eesh? My friend, Jesus said, my kingdom is not of this world. You can't be a citizen of both. When Jesus prayed in John 17 he said of his disciples, they are in the world but not of if. Paul said that God had translated them out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of His Son. Yes...

    Is it ok for a Christian to kill people?

    But the judge say you are not to kill. How does that answer the question? Interesting, I wasn't aware the kingdom of God had helicopters. I read the entire Bible and it clearly shows that Christians are not to use violence. It's funny how Christians are all about the NT until it comes to...

    What Eph 1:10 means ??

    Dan, there is no need to back off, that is not what I meant. I asked why you were asking me for evidence because you are the one who said that Paul preached a different message than the 12 and you haven't given the evidence of this. There is no need for me to supply evidence since you haven't...

    Is it ok for a Christian to kill people?

    Actually it was a large knife/ small sword. They had to prepare food to eat, they needed to cut things rope etc. so they would have need for a knife or small sword. That is the way the early Christians also believed. They would not use violence for any reason, not even to protect life. They...

    Is it ok for a Christian to kill people?

    You obey God's command, Just as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, did. Daniel 3:16-18 ( KJV ) Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the...

    What Eph 1:10 means ??

    Dan, why are asking me for evidence? You made the claim that the mystery was given only to Paul. The evidence that you have given doesn't say that. I have however, given you the evidence you seek. The passage from acts clearly shows that Paul was preaching the same gospel, that of the Jews...

    What Eph 1:10 means ??

    Dan, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but what are you talking about? The uncircumcission and the Circumcission are not the same thing. You keep saying cased closed, but as I said, you haven't made a case. You've claimed that the mystery was only given to Paul and yet you have not produced any...

    What Eph 1:10 means ??

    Case closed??? Dan, you haven't even made a case to close. What I said was flawed was your reasoning not the Scripture. I don't need Scripture to show that your reasoning is flawed. You have not given any Scripture that states that the mystery was given only to Paul. You've not shown that the...

    Christianity and the Death Penalty in America

    Actually Bill, while God did institute it, it is not the place of the Christians to deal with it, it is God's. Jesus has made clear the commands that are to be followed under the New Covenant.

    What Eph 1:10 means ??

    There's the flaw in your reasoning Dan. The passages you have given "DO NOT" say that the mystery was only given to Paul, you are assuming that. If I say the government gave me money back on my tax return that doesn't mean I am the only one who got money back on their tax return. That's flawed...

    What Eph 1:10 means ??

    Please show me where Scripture teaches that it was "ONLY" given to Paul.
