I appreciate your clarifying your statements. Thanks. I would think you can see there is a big difference between the example you used (Jesus reporting what the pharisee said) and claiming that there is an error in translation. If not, let me show you the difference. What is written in Luke...

KingJ: If you look closer you will see He hates those who disobey Him. He did not hate Cain until Cain mocked Him by disobeying Him with his sacrifice. It is no more a case of giving a cookie to a good child and a hiding to the naughty one. Favouritism is keeping some children in a room for 10...

It is not only my opinion, but my opinion based on what God said. When Paul advised Timothy to study, he was talking about studying the scriptures and stated (as you mentioned) rightly dividing the word of Truth". As for your quoting Paul as saying, "Not everything stated in the the Bible is a...

Well, again 101G, it wouldn't matter to me either way. Society may have the stigma, but I don't. I live in a pretty tough neighborhood (maybe not like Watts or Comptom, but certainly it's no Beverly Hills), and many of the members of my Church have had difficult pasts... When the Bible says...

What do I believe? Personally, I don't look down on Rehab if she was a harlot. Rehab in mentioned in Hebrews 11 which is called a "roll call of OT folks who had faith". She's called a harlot there too. She's also mentioned in James 2 as being a harlot. I looked at the greek definition of...

You tell me Aspen.... Are you condemning some witches and not others? Christ can do all things, yet we give glory to Santa? And the Easter Bunny? Yet we pick on Harry Potter. The Truth about Christ and God has enough supernatural things.... True Christians don't need some fat jerk in a red...

Look, don't talk to me about Witchcraft if you tell your children about Santa Claus. Don't preach against it if you do easter eggs and promote the easter bunny. And if you like Valentines day, don't bother me.... Don't dye my beer green and talk about leprechans on St. Patricks day. I am...

I see what you are saying Aspen.... I think. Problem is that while I live in this world I am not a citizen of it. I'd rather it all be good, but sometimes I don't care... Let it all go to hell and let's shut it down!

Personally, I look at the Bible and look at the Catholic Doctrine and see some major problems. But I don't hate Catholics and don't hate all Catholic Doctrine. Now if Nancy Pelosi is going to claim to be a practicing and respectful Catholic, then she should act like one. Does the Catholic...

I'd like to take a minute to get slightly off topic for a moment. It is related, but it doesn't apply to any one post. I do not like the terms Calvinism/Calvinist, OSAS or TULIP (or any terms within the acronym). Here's the simple reason: Calvin would be rolling over in his grave if he knew...

1. Being partial is not showing favoritism??? Well God said there were some people he delighted in and some he flat out hated. Whatever you'd like to call it, it is what is written in the Bible. 2. I don't see your point in Romans 8:1. You are however, skipping over many verses to connect...

Well, my God is good and no respector of persons.... That is true. In context, being no respector of persons means that it no longer matters if you are Jew or Gentile. God is partial though... He only accepts those that fear him and work righteousness. In Romans 9 we find a pretty...

Arunangelo, I don't mean to criticize your post so quickly, but it irks me when people talk about keeping his commandments by loving one another. I do realize he said that.... I'm not saying "don't love one another". However, many times I read read posts like this and see people utterly fail...

Well, don't get upset.... There are plenty of times he said "you" (2006 times), "is" (5474 times) and "shall" (6061 times).... So if those words are more to your suiting.... They're there! :) He'd probably say, "It is written...."

If by that you mean that reading the Bible isn't enough, but it must be implimented into our lives, I would agree. Otherwise I can't agree with this belief. The Bible is God's Word. God said he was the Word. The physical book itself is paper and leather and ink. However, when you read the...

Predestination is in the Bible. Eph 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, Eph 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all...

Yea..... Ever read Revelations? I'm not wanted here on this board, am I?

I don't know... I'm stupid... Nothing I say matters! Duh!

John, if you want to question me on the importance of love, you are going to lose that battle or we are going to come to an aggreance. I'm not downplaying the importance of Love. I do understand it. I have studied Romans 8 to the extent that I can quote it verse by verse... Can you do the...

I'm just wondering... You folks realize that the next time Christ returns in the flesh that it isn't going to be a good thing for most of mankind, don't you? For you folks that believe in the rapture theory, fine... But what will happen after that? When he comes, he's coming for war.
