brakelite Really? Why must it be said? Constantine also provided the freedom to preach and present the Gospel throughout the Roman Empire. Which is why the Gospel took root throughout Europe. Just because the Church doesn't know how to handle freedom, is no reason to question...

I don't know what you think is not 'factual', or confusing. It was your question...that concerning the 'greater evil'. Not mine. I never indicated that slavery was evil. In other words, you continue to want to build on the myth. I think what really concerns you is that you see that...

What a cop out. Stranger

I am all for faith in God in fulfilling His Old Testament promises of the Kingdom to come. I am all for praying for our President and that God would once again establish His rule over the land of America, and I do pray for that. But, my opinion is that for this country, America, there is...

VictoryinJesus Yes, I believe God is in control. And his sovereignty reaches all the way it needs to in order for His will to be done. Because God gave us a will, then our will comes into play. But, our will does not overpower God's will. It does make us accountable to God however. Of...

I did make my case with facts. See your post #61. And, again, I did answer your question. Your question is not legitimate because the South could never defeat the north with a total military victory. And they didn't want to. I don't want to build on your 'myth'. So, if you want to make a...

Howdy, Look forward to your participation also. Stranger

Heb.10:26 "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins," The book of Hebrews is written to Jewish believers in Christ. They were Christian but were wanting to go back to their traditional activities in keeping the...

waterlilyoflife Howdy, welcome to the forum. Sounds as though you have a bent toward fantasy and fairytales, which is fine. Glad to see you have gotten grounded into the reality of God and Jesus Christ. Stranger

You implied that a Southern victory meant that the South took over the north. So, yes you did insinuate total military victory by the South. Which was never the goal of the South. The South just wanted to be left alone. Secede peacefully. Instead the north made war against us, with the...

I believe that God knew us before He formed us and before we were ever born, just like with Jeremiah. I don't believe we had any existence prior to our birth here on earth other than in the mind of God. But that alone is a mind bender. For God has always existed and to be always in the mind...

VictoryinJesus Your testimony and understanding of our God and Christ is very encouraging. Suffering is indeed the way we learn of Him. Stranger

You end by saying God refuses to answer your prayers. Are you a Christian...as you never indicated? Have you accepted Christ as your Lord and Saviour and are born-again? If you haven't then that is where you need to start. You seem to have a very superficial faith. If you don't get what...

Too bad you are unwilling to take your place before God as a slave. Or you are unwilling to own it. The truth is if you haven't been bought and paid for by Him, then you don't belong to Him. This definitely always offends the 'righteous'. It never offends those who recognize the slavery...

Sounds like you don't know your history very well. The South was never able to have a total military victory over the north. At best we could make it so that the north tired of the war and let us secede. Which is all we wanted anyway. The South never intended to take over the north...

Read the Scriptures I gave. Paul was returning a runaway slave to his master. Read (Lev. 25:35-46), It is clear. God instituted slavery. Are you a slave of God? Or are you to proud for that? Saint Bathilde, Anskar, William the Conqueror, Aquinas, the Pope, etc. etc., are not God...

It's hard to say what would be different now, 156 years later. What it would have meant then is that the South would be it's own nation and have it's own interests decided without the constant interference and agitations of the Northern Federal Govt. Why wouldn't I wish the South had won...

Read Paul's letter to Philemon. You will see Paul returning a runaway slave back to his master. Same as was required by our Constitution under the fugitive slave law. Indeed, there is no institution of slavery existing in the U.S. and it is illegal. And I have no desire to start it...

God supported it. Are you better than He? Was He wrong? The South seceded. The North went to war to bring the South back. God supported it. I agree with Him. Stranger

Sure they do. But, as I said, (Eph. 6) doesn't need to match at all any writing of the Old Testament or any apocryphal books. Whoever wrote the apocryphal book of Wisdom probably got his ideas from Isaiah. Stranger
