Well, if you can cheery pick verses from Ezekiel to completely miss the point that God was making in that chapter, then you must be right. :rolleyes:

Yup. :) All just meaningless words on a page until God removes the blinders. 1 Corinthians 2:14 [NKJV] But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

When confronted with such questions, I rely on [Proverbs 11:14] "Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety." and consult as many translations as possible. :)

[thumbs up emoji] One of my all time favorite verses on money is Ephesians 4:28 [NIV] "Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need." Unlike so many "Law" verses that...

Perhaps, but one lesson from Job is that EVIL, like the ocean, may go "this far and no further" by the restraining command of God. So if God is moving the shore, it must be for our good and HIS glory. [Job 42:10-17] and [Romans 8:28-39]

Matthew 22:21 [NKJV] 21 They said to Him, "Caesar's." And He said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." Mark 12:17 [NKJV] 17 And Jesus answered and said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the...

You cannot chastise me for Ecclesiastes and refuse to address it by rejecting all of the OT and then selectively ask me to view only YOUR FAVORITE OT verses. You set the NEW TESTAMENT ONLY ground rules. Isaiah and Micah are as irrelevant at Ecclesiastes.

:rolleyes: Let's just see for ourselves if that statement is true: 2 Corinthians 10:1-6 [NKJV] 1 Now I, Paul, myself am pleading with you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ--who in presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you. 2 But I beg you that when I am present I...

Were there any carts driven by Christians? You are making an argument from silence fallacy.

OSAS is a sloppy phrase. I believe in Perseverance of the Saints, explained in this quote from R.C. Sproul as follows: "Writing to the Philippians, Paul says, “He who has begun a good work in you will perfect it to the end” (Phil. 1:6). Therein is the promise of God that what He starts in our...

Ad Hominem is not a legitimate refutation, but an informal logical fallacy. You have demonstrated the art of "waiting to speak" rather than "listening" since your conclusions are non-sequitur to the actual statements that I made in my post. I invite you to go back and actually READ what I...

Not "US" ... My ancestors were inventing stories about THOR and nailing Christ to a tree. The OT was NEVER given to ME. Christ offered me the real "good news" that "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved...

Respectfully, I am not here to convince you of anything. Reread the OP. I responded to your offer of guidance in a new thread to avoid pushing another thread deeply off topic. I requested you offer SOME scripture to support your emphatic statement that the Bible clearly teaches something. I...

Charging is what we “bulls in a China shop” do best. :)

:( guilty as charged. His position was as emphatic as it was vague about its Biblical support. So it needed challenging. I do not think that scripture clearly states that Christians are never to fight in a national war. To suggest that it was the duty of Messianic Jews to quietly lay down...

Physical or Spiritual or both? If I give $100 to the church, can I really count on a $1000 return on my investment like some preach? Just looking for clarification of understanding for anyone that might be reading along.

That is what I asked you. Since you want me to start, I offer this lesson from scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 1 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: 2 A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted; 3 A time to kill...

. No, just Saturday and Sunday. ;)

Do you have a verse in mind that states that God needs my money? I have checked out the NT and don’t remember seeing that in it … but the memory isn’t what it once was.

God can probably survive without my money. However, I am sort of fond of having LIGHTS and AIR CONDITIONING at the building where we gather (Florida is hot and humid), so I don't mind chipping in to pay for it. I like Pastor Less (short for Lester) and his wife. He works hard coming up with...
