In Matt 11:7 Jesus spoke of John the Baptist and said, "What did you go to see? A reed shaking in the wind?" [paraphrasing]. Eph 4:14 also goes along with this. I understand what you are getting at, but I think I may be the type of person you are talking about. I have never claimed to be...

Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; be zealous therefore, and repent. If you want to say we experience pain because of our sins, I can see that. However, if you've ever been rebuked by God (and I a serious rebuke and not something trivial) you know that it can hurt. Yes, God...

Sorry.... Guess I'm a bit grumpy! :rolleyes:

...and sometimes that means a big kick i the rear end that hurts real bad, Angelina. Don't sugar coat it. When you sugar coat it it makes it look good. Sometimes it hurts and that is good. There is pain with God....

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth. Sometimes the Truth hurts, and um.... It's meant to hurt. God knows how to inflict pain. I get real tired of all these pansy people who continously tell you God doesn't want you to have pain... He's a God of love, and sometimes that involves dragging...

Good post Niki.... I agree. To tell you the truth, I could have tickets to a NASCAR event once a year, but I don't take it. I haven't missed a Sunday service in over 10 years and I ain't about to start now! I like sports, but it is just tarrying until I'm done here on earth. Suhar, it seems...

What you said is true, Suhar, but you do realize that could be said about almost everything else in the world of entertainment and leisure, if not everything in the world altogether. If sports didn't exist, it'd be something else, wouldn't it. I do agree that sports is the big kid on the...

I won't talk about the OSAS doctrine.... In fact, I never was into it and if any think I was, I renounce it. But I stand by what the Bible says about predestination. Frankly, I think this has more to do with grace through faith than it does OSAS, but that is just my opinion. If you go over to...

well Suhar, I'd have to say no, sports don't have anything to do with God. That doesn't make them bad. Some people use them as a profession (a small percentage, of course.... But don't just count baseball, football, basketball and hockey.... Think globally!) and a few more use them as...

Yep... The invention of photoshopping and the advancements it's made worried me right away when I saw what could be done. The only news we can trust is the gospel!

I'm pretty much done, 101G. Thanks for an interesting discussion.

I've provided that information already.... Please read post number 26 and look at the links.

With the exception of your accusations that I added to the Bible (I did no such thing!), I stand by my conclusions. I am not indispute with the Bible or the Tanakh, but rather am in agreeance. Every single Bible and Tanakh (including yours) I have found notes her as being either a harlot or a...

The question is whether Rahab was a harlot or an innkeeper. If she were a harlot, I am not going to question why she had this title. However, the choices are clear: 1. she was formally married and committed adultery, 2. she was a fornicator, or 3. she was a prostitute. There is no background...

101G, your post is a bit all over the place, so it's a bit difficult to continue to quote you and post a response. I'm going to have to make general comments on what I read from you. Rahab was not the only one who knew the Israelites were coming, and wasn't the only one who knew of their...

FHII: #1. She was not a spy before the two Israelites came to Jericho. 101G: are we sure about that. I have to jump ahead to another quote of yours, because this one by itself comes of as pure "conspiracy theory": 101G: HOW DID THIS SUPPOSE HARLOT KNEW THAT THE LORD HATH GIVEN, NOTICE THE...

"what is the whole purpose of Spying?, that's right, for YOU not to know one true IDENTITY. if you will, notice Joshua 2:1 "And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab...

Wormwood, I understand the point of Romans 9, but what you seem to be missing is that it is clear that it started with two individuals who were predestined before they were even born. Paul also uses the example of Pharoah (not all pharoahs, but one in particular) to make his point. So yes I...

I did read your post and understood it... However, by you asking that question I'm not sure you are understanding what I'm getting at. In any sense, persuing it would be getting off topic. I do have a question. You had stated twice that you believe her title as harlot was a cover up. I...

I am aware that Paul was quoting Malachi, but in Paul's discussion he noted that he chose Jacob the individual over Esau the individual when they were still in their mother's womb. Regardless, even if we acknowledge your assertation, even better.... God hated a whole bunch of people (at least...
