    The Fear of the Lord

    Upon the appearance of an angel the shepherds in Matthew were " sore afraid". Moses was afraid along with the Exodus generation upont receiving the law. Couples with the fact that God is the final judge in the outcome of our soul I fear the Lord.

    God's Original Act of Creation

    A thought I did have is on the idea of a sovereign God needing to reconcile His first creation with a second creation that again fell by the hands of Satan seems absurd.

    God's Original Act of Creation

    Interesting to say the least. The Isaiah passage being the most difficult portion to reconcile, it is the only matter I will address here. Either we are to assume when speaking about the earths creation to be at the end of the 7 days or the beginning of the second day, being the reshaping of a...

    God's Original Act of Creation

    Thanks for posting this Vet, I now have a greater understanding of the gap theory. Although I am not sure I agree as I see how everything you have correlated together can be explained with a literal view, vanity being imposed by the fall, and accepting Peter's account as the occasion of the...

    The Mid Ocean Ridge

    A world wide flood can account for fossil remains. It is not believed that the present land masses as we know it today are the same land masses of the primordial time.

    The Mid Ocean Ridge

    1 Corinthians 1:19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the cleverness of the clever I will set aside.” 1 Corinthians 3:18-20 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise...

    To Judge

    I thought it relevant to post this 1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men’s hearts; and then each man’s praise will come to him from God.

    I now agree with the Augustinian View of Predestination/Election

    <p>Let me rephrase this. I think we both understand the idea of Jacob and Esau. God foreknew who was going to reign over the other, even in the womb. I think where we might view things differently is for the subject manner of Romans 9. The idea comes to focus at the 6th verse.</p> <p> </p>...

    Everlasting Life

    "that our spiritual welfare is far more important than our physical welfare." This is why Jesus taught to hate this world in agreement with love your neighbor as yourself, love your enemy, and above all love God. With so many the focus is on the pursuit of happiness as opposed to the pursuit...

    Loving the Law

    Romans 2:12-16 For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law; 13 for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles who do...

    Loving the Law

    <p>I agree that the same God that rose Jesus from the dead, gives us power to overcome sin.</p> <p>Romans 2:12-16</p> <p> </p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 27.0px; text-indent: -27.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><b>12</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>For all...

    Loving the Law

    So you saying part of the law is done away with as other parts are not? So can we pick and chose what parts we are in agreement with and what parts we are not? Do you not see the corner you are painting yourself into? Again righteousness is by faith not works. As for lawlessness John 3:18...

    Loving the Law

    So do you still sacrifice at the temple? How about your clothes, are they all of the same thread? What about the dietary laws, do you abide in them? Shall we do the brotherly duty of the widowed sister-in-law? Matther 5:18 “For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the...

    I now agree with the Augustinian View of Predestination/Election

    Genesis 27:40 "By the sword you shall live, and your brother you shall serve; and it will come about when you become restless, that you will break his yoke from around your neck." This is the second mention of this. Genesis 25:23 The Lord said to her, "Two nations are in your womb; and two...
