well when the miracles needed are offered overtime and an old friend... and at the very last minute both appear out of nowhere... Your statements seem rather crass and heartless.

Yeah...several times... Why God decides to wait till the last minute is always a bit of a mystery to me...although sometimes He does things in advance... Not often though. And all for good reasons.

Well...considering the spiritual state of Brazil at the moment...I'm OK with it. The thing isn't going to be a real Jewish temple in any fashion. Not with radio and television studios inside the place. Parking lot OK...fine... Classrooms and storerooms and sleeping quarters are OK too. The...

Security is an illusion... But mostly it is for harassment issues and an illusion for those that would break into cars while everyone is in class or listening to the sermon. Also as an example: We have had transvestites come into Sunday School classes and try to be the "teacher/preacher for...

Just a lovin and prayin for ya Elaine.

Uh oh...my turn. This is the problem with reading commentaries...most are wrong. This is one of many parables in a series in Luke...They cover the types of sins that God forgives and the order of least severe to greatest severety. Lost Sheep....sins of ignorance Lost coin.......sins of...

OK...time for me to step in.... This church in Laodocea that is "Lukewarm" It was on a plateau that was next to a steep ravine and valley that had a river flowing through it full of snow melt on its way to water a bunch of farms...a bread basket of crops. On the Plateau next to it was a small...

Look and see the low hanging fruit that you have missed. You have done a great example of discussing the light that we are supposed to represent but...(I know you hate the "but") Lets look at what the "Salt" is about...Jesus, when speaking to the newly commissioned apostles claims that they...

Something else to notice specifically is the manner in which God created man versus all of his other creations. God simply spoke the rest of creation into existence...and that was sufficient. The creation of mankind was a lot more personally involved and intimate for God than a mere...

Besides...Eve's name wasn't Eve. That is just the Latin pronunciation of her name. It was Hawwa. Meaning "Mother of all living" and a bit of "Hubba hubba....WOW" all at the same time. Adam thought that Eve was PHAT. (pretty, hot and tasty)

I think that this lady Jezebel had a line of higher theology a mile long... and those who bought into it were duped... and because of this...they were to be kicked out of Christiandom...by God's command. And I think that this is a great warning against such reasonings of mankind...that when...

I like the poem... the story of Akin's sin and the story of Annanias and Saphira are definitely in my mind because of this poem. In both cases they introduced sin...in both cases they "took" something that wasn't theirs...something devoted and belonging to God..the same thing that Adam and Eve...

I believe it is usually something akin to what is known commonly as the "finer points" of theology. IOW something other than the basics that we are absolutely confident of. Things that are plainly expressed in scripture. During the time that Jesus was on his tour the Jews had many higher...

He didn't say it to the "woman at the well".

But that is another issue. What we are looking at here is the proclamation that Homosexuality or some other kind of sexual immorality such as "shacking up" is "OK" with God. That is what this woman Jezebel was promoting obviously. Granted...God apparently gave both the Samaritan woman time...

Ahhh... Now that does seem to begin to make some sense here. Repentance means to turn completely away...to do a 180 degree turn around from the actions of old and into a new direction. Instead of self-centered and self-pleasing turn around to become God-centered and Jesus Pleasing... But...

On one hand Jesus is condemning this church in Thyatira for not condemning this woman named Jezebel...especially for sexual immorality. But we also have two very explicit cases of Jesus showing Grace to these two specific individuals for their sexual immorality. That to me shows a paradox...

I'm sorry...I haven't the foggiest clue as to what it is that you are trying to say here. Grace has been dispensed to mankind ever since Adam and Eve ate the fruit from the wrong tree. They were forgiven even though they were promised death. Same goes for Cain. Sampson also looked like a...

There are divisions within the Lutheran header such as LCMS Wells and all kinds of divisions...and I don't even pretend to understand them all. Also there are divisions under the heading of Methodist...And I can't remember them either. LOL Apparently there seems to be as many brands of...

Consider this scripture... Rev 2:20 Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. Now weigh carefully the issues at hand. There...
