Let me first say I a bit taken back by the lack of responses, kinda scary if you think about it. But then again it is a question that smacks you right in the face and can be a bit intimidating. I answered everyday. Is that even possible? How can you do that? Am I just bragging? The simple...

Sounds great thanks you two, I contacted him Angelina, no response yet. NAOT sandals got it! Respect is key, I usually have no problem there, and the Lord has humbled me so I tend to love well. My professor lived there for a while so we should have a good guide, plus he is getting a native...

I am going to Israel in one week, God willing, for the first time. I am going with a group, some fellow students, my professor, and some other people from a church in the US, Tennessee I think. I post this to gain insight from anyone who lives there or has visited in the past. Anything you...

Cheers to the great idea Aussie!

Yes but let us remember Jesus is the word of God, and the scriptures point to Him. By directing using the Bible we are pointing them to Jesus. Also we can give them love, which is how we give them Jesus. Your point is well received, let us not miss it. :)

Shall we search for a purpose driven life when our purpose is already spelled out? Shall we continue to look for the will of God when He has already told us? Go to the highest mountain top, flip every stone along the way. Dive to the deepest depths asking every creature you see. Trek through...

Chapter 13 The Excellence of Love 1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove...

Apparently we are at an impasse because I see no division in the Law as you do. From Jewish tradition, evident in how it is still treated today, there never was only 10 always 613 commandments. If any emphasis was ever made at all it was on the Great Shemah, they even post on their entrances...

So you mean I can just say this one statement :huh: and all of a sudden I have a genie in a bottle? :D Oh let me think I need some new shoes, a new car, and my boss just keeps treating me so bad... B) Hey wait a minute it has been three weeks since I said that little magic spell you told me to...

So which one of the ten commandments points to the sin of partiality? None. But in Lev 19:18, which is not a part of the 10 but is apportioned to the Royal Law, which we as Christians are under, you can find it. The new covenant and new standard to which we are held are both greater in...

So where does Noah fit in all of this?

I think Galatians 5:24-26 is the best explanation. 24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. 26 Let us not become boastful, challenging one another...

I am confused sorry, why do you say "we do not breathe"?

Thank you for your post, and let me say I do agree with most of what you said. Please don't think I am attempting to antagonize you by my questions and prodding, I am not. I honestly appreciate your stance, and personally I hold one very similar to yours myself. Let me inform you of where I...

I was only posting this to give some perspective of the other side of the argument, again I do not condone the practice of homosexuality nor can I speak against the judgment of God. Yes homosexuals will be judged by God, and so will murdering Christians. Any attempt to hold a Gentile though...

So are you saying Paul didn't know Jesus? Totally unrelated to my response to you mjrhealth, I found this while researching for a different thread and found it most interesting. I should make the disclaimer that I do not condone homosexual activity and I side with traditional marriage, but I...

Here is something interesting for you to chew on when it comes to forgiveness. Unforgiving is a demon that consumes you from the inside out, but forgiving is not the same as acceptance. You can forgive someone without condoning their actions. Sometimes it is not possible to restore a...

I was answering your question. And I would have to disagree with your underlined portion He holds all who sin accountable. Luke 12:47-48 You might have missed this in my first post. Let me speak a bit to your acceptance portion. This may be the most difficult thing a church body has to face...

Chapter 2 The Sin of Partiality 1 My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. 2 For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man in dirty...

Psalm 119:67-68 67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, But now I keep Your word. 68 You are good and do good; Teach me Your statutes. Psalm 119:71 71 It is good for me that I was afflicted, That I may learn Your statutes. Again I see forgiveness as a one...
