That's the cost in money, wasted time and resources, misdirected focus, missiapplied effort, to keep two wars going in Afghanistan and Iraq. Since those two wars started in 2001, 114,000 active duty and retired military veterans committed suicide. In other words, we killed more of our own...

That would be the understatement of the year so far.

The official name for a merger or union between religion and business is fascism. ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?

Yes, I mentioned that elsewhere.

So why baptism? Why communion? Aren't they rituals demonstrating redemption? Did you know that the entire population of the new earth will be observing the Sabbath? Why do you think that would be?

But the weekly Sabbath was never about resting from sin. Goodness. God was first to rest... From sin? Adam and Eve's first full day of life was the Sabbath... Did they rest from sin? The weekly Sabbath was instituted before sin. The annual Sabbath's and feast days were instituted because of sin...

Absolutely. Very true. Christ and Christ alone is far better than our empty promises and all our efforts at righteousness. Christ alone has promised that the law will be written in and demonstrated by us through His power and not our own will. It is such a release of the burden when we come to...

Yep. There are as many roads that lead to heaven these days as there are roads that lead to Rome.

That text referred only to the specific law which designated The tribe of Levi as priests. The law that dealt with the sanctuary service. The law had to be changed to accommodate the priesthood of Christ who was born of the tribe of Judah.

Wow. That's really weird. Sounds cultish like. And would lead ultimately to despair and anguish seeing that except we are born again there is absolutely no hope of ever keeping God's laws. The harder one works at obedience the more frustrating and despairing the life. Very sad.

Totally agree with this. Sabbath keeping included. Observing Sabbath can never improve or add to what Christ accomplished on calvary. So when someone says they observe Sabbath, why is it you do an about face and tell them they are working their way to heaven when here you correctly say such a...

Excellent explanation, particularly of Hebrews 4.

I disagree. God Himself identified the church even of these last days. This church would a global organisation. They would be abused and persecuted for righteousness sake. Though this church would grow greatly, it would be unpopular with other churches... Even to the point of being called a...

It's a fact that the innate nature and goal of Catholicism is a union of church and state. Which is why several times I have mentioned that Catholicism cannot abide the constitution which separates church and state in line with biblical principles. The two are never to be mixed and God does not...

How can doing something for us be selfish? Sure He gets pleasure from it, just as I get pleasure from buying a burger for a homeless person. But I don't do it for the pleasure. If that were the case I'd eat the burger myself.

Of course. The church vaunted it's own imaginary status as ruler of the world for a long time before the actual state power conceded and legally conferred upon the Pope civil authority. That was the beginning of what the Catholic Church always identified herself as and is today actively working...

Hi brother. Was reading through this thread for the first time to discover there is good news. Answers to prayer before even praying! Glad you and your wife don't have this to care about. I say care rather than fear or worry because I know God is in ultimate control... Yet we still have concerns...

I firmly believe, for several biblical reasons, there are numerous unfallen worlds in God's creation. They do not know the extent of God's love for man. They don't even know what grace and mercy is. They don't know or understand why the Son of God had to leave His royal throne and become a man...

Justinian's Code laid the legal and prophetic foundation for the rise of the Papacy. AD March 533: Justinian's letter to John reads: "Justinian: victor, pius, fortunate, ever Augustus, to John, the most holy Archbishop and patriarch of the noble city of Rome. Paying honor to the Apostolic See...
