Happy to hear you are doing better!

I'm not entirely sure what your point is with these three commentaries, because they don't seem to agree with each oter. The first one seems to say Jesus only used the whip to drive out the sheep and oxen, and that he didn't cause that big of an uproar. Well, if that's what it is saying I...

Seriously KingJ.... If we are talking about whether God hates anyone what do you think I'm going to do? I'm going to show you the verses that state God hated some people. That's cherry picking? If so what are you doing? You are ignoring them and actually, you are trying to sandwich them and...

John 2:14-15 (KJV) says: "And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting. And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen..." Jesus did not use the whip to drive out the...

KingJ, I understand it can be a daunting task reading every post before responding to one point at the end, but I did address Matt 5:44. To rehash, Jesus' way of showing love was publically insulting the Pharasees, beating them with a whip and at one point he told his disciples not to even...

Is there anywhere in scripture where the preacher/teacher/prophet was trying to get his audience to laugh? Its tough to tell because we are reading it and not hearing it. A lot of times comedy is in the way something is said, not necessarily what was said. Ecc 3:4 says there is a time to...

The Bible doesn't say everyone is your neighbor in that parable. Luk 10:37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

I think it's critically important, and Trekson gave a great verse to show that. However, we must agree on something that is the Truth. Afterall, if we agree on something that isn't the Truth, then it is a lie. And if we agree on a lie, then we have a third party who agrees with us and that's...

Marksman, I've been through this with you before. Meeting in a house does not make it a Church. Furthermore, it is not conclusive. They did not meet solely in houses. Jesus, Peter and Paul off the top of my head taught in temples and synagogues. Furthermore, you should read 1 Cor 11. It...

Ah, but again... It's easy to know who brethen is, but potential brethren? Who's that? Everyone has the opportunity. Everyone is potential brethren. The second thought is pretty good... I'll have to think on that. But are you aware that Christ said to leave folks alone (he was speaking of...

Kinda chuckled at Abeliever's response to justaname and was waiting to see if justaname would address it. It's happened to me before, Abeliever.... It's easy to get mixed up on forums. Moving on, sonofhilkiah said: "If you want to understand the Scriptures you must read it with a Hebrew...

Spirit of grave, huh? Very unfortunate typo! If we have freedom, then we are free. We are the Lord's free man. And the Lord said I am not bound by the Law.

Noah had 7 members in his Church. Moses had millions. Both of them had problems! I think the Church at Ephesus had 12.... Jesus had 11-13 strong followers (the 11 strong disciples, and I suppose Mary M. and Mom....), but at one time he had 5 thousand not counting women and children (could've...

Iforrest, I was thinking of that very verse about an hour ago. This is about the only verse I can think of that really applies and that perhaps they ought to show some restraint. However, realize this is talking about how to act around weak or ignorant Christians. That doesn't make them bad...

Hey, I just answered a post and was going about doing my dishes. A thought came to mind... The "Holy Spirit" spoke to me! I'm not going to sit here and defend a couple of elders (whom I don't even know) over something that really doesn't matter to God. Because IT DOESN'T! But what I do see...

Born Again, there's no need to go down that street. First, he didn't have a problem with Adam and Woman. Second, He didn't have a problem with David. Third, Yea... He actually did tell Isaiah to do it, and fourth.... Aren't we all naked before God? Answer? Yes, we are. Furthermore, how far...

Abeliever, I understand perfectly what you said, and my response still stands. About the only thing you can say I didn't do was get my point across to you. My point is that it is pointless to try to do something that we ourselves cannot achieve. ESPECIALLY when there is a 100% efficient way...

And again you are basing that on their fleshly actions. They don't seem to have a problem with it; you do. As for Titus 1:6.... Read on before using a verse to make your point: Tit 1:6 - 11 (KJV) 6 If any [elders] be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not...

I don't celebrate Christmas. In name only, does it have anything to do with Jesus.

You are looking at the flesh. Terrible way to put it, given the circumstances. But you are looking at your elders in Church and their lifestyle and making a decision to attend or not attend Church based on what their flesh is doing. Are nudist colonies sinful? Don't know.... Never been to...
