    Should Christians Celebrate Christmas?

    I did a quick search and according to wikianswers, this seems to be correct. However, checking the Bible Satan is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 21, as well as Job (as you mentioned), but also Psalms 109 (Which was a psalm written by David) and Zecheriah.

    wHY DO cHRISTIANS CONTINUE TO INCLUDE THE WISEMEN (Magi) IN THE NATIVITY DISPLAYS?

    Well it seems we are in agreement. The truth about the subject indeed is confined to the Bible, as it is the only source we have.

    wHY DO cHRISTIANS CONTINUE TO INCLUDE THE WISEMEN (Magi) IN THE NATIVITY DISPLAYS?

    You said that the details have been lost in history and aren't important. However, the details are in Matthew and Luke, so they haven't been lost and they are important. So If they are lost in history other than the Bible, then I'd have to answer yes. Do you have another written reliable...

    wHY DO cHRISTIANS CONTINUE TO INCLUDE THE WISEMEN (Magi) IN THE NATIVITY DISPLAYS?

    I find this statement to be a bit befuddling, because the details have not been lost in history. They are in 2 of the 4 gospels, with Luke being pretty descriptive. Furthermore, I would say it is important, because it was written about. I am also unaware that most dwellings had an indoor...

    Should Christians Celebrate Christmas?

    What I said was all there is to it. I knew someone who questioned whether Jesus was real after learning Santa wasn't.

    What do you wanna thank God for today?

    Well, I'm taken back a little by the holiday reasoning. I do celebrate Thanksgiving Day, and it is a day to be thankful, but so is every day. However, that being said, and believing we should be thankful every day: 1. Grace 2. Truth 3. Food 4. Rainment 5. All the other things I've...

    Should Christians Celebrate Christmas?

    Nope! I won't be and haven't for about 10 years. The main reason is what Pegg brought out when she quoted John 4:23 (I usually go with v. 24, but it says basically the same thing). The verse you gave Duckybill is pretty good too (Jer 10), but that is a side reason. The whole arguement about...

    Very weird very weird subject!!!

    Well, I'm going to kind of buck the norm here and say a few things... First, it is a sin, and is mentioned in the Bible. I did give verses as being Lev 15:16-17. Truth is, this verse is talking about any act of copulation, so it isn't masturbation itself, but it is included. Second, setting...

    Very weird very weird subject!!!

    The answer is yes. you are correct that the desire to fulfill the flesh leads to it. Most commentaries I've read focus on a plethora of NT verses as well as OT verses that condemn "lustful thoughts". Those commentaries often go to the OT and bring up Gen 38:9, which isn't talking about...

    Another fun subject to bring up.

    You can find the armor in Eph 6. More specifically verses 10 through 18. Very powerful chapter! People tend to take it and apply it to fleshly battles, and on a minor level, that's ok. But this is talking about spiritual warfare.

    Another fun subject to bring up.

    The verse you are thinking of is Matthew 5:39. It is also in Luke 6:29. Mat 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. Luk 6:29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him...

    There Are No Church Ages

    Rockytopva, "Branham searched for other ways to make his mark. He began teaching from his visions rather than from the Word of God. Not called to be a teacher, Branham began to veer off in extreme directions regarding his interpretation of truth. Disturbing doctrines were taught and emphasized...

    Can we "demand" something from God?

    I agree 100%. Joel Osteen ain't the worst of them in the prosperity thing. I think he's the last fella who should be preaching the Word, but he isn't the worst at preaching the teaching of prosperity gospel of seed-faith giving. Let's face it, when Benny Hinn can take you to town, you ain't...

    There Are No Church Ages

    Veteran, I appreciate your comments, and thank you for your efforts. However, unless I missed it, there are two important questions I didn't see answered in your posts. 1. Have you read the full written works of William Brahnam or anyone else who preached this? I admit I have not read...

    Can we "demand" something from God?

    I believe you will do well, Mrs. Mopar! If it is his will, may God bless you in his time! Rockytopva.... It sounds like you have been truly blessed! 50K a year isn't a lot, yet you've seemed to do much with it. Our overall income is more than that, and we aren't doing as much with it, so I...

    Can we "demand" something from God?

    Romans 8:28 says, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Matthew 6:10 is part of that famous prayer most people know, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." I can't think of...

    King James Wordings Found In Early Greek Papyri New Testament Manuscripts

    Hey look.... I don't have time to look at all the different original versions. Though I'm a young guy of 42, I doubt I can ever understand it all without a big sacrifice. But what I do understand is this.... If all Bible versions agree that if God declared the end from the beginning, and that...

    The Gospel

    Prentis wrote: "Does it make any sense that the 'unmerited favor' of God was on Jesus?" Ok.... Let's go that route. You also said: "It is true that we receive grace not according to works, and so the grace is unmerited like a gift is, but the gift itself is not unmerited favor, but...
