    It is foolish...

    ... To think that in a time so critical to mankind and a sleeping worldly unthinking church attempting to use politics as an answer to the immorality and lack of concern and love for their fellow man, that God would not be pleading to His people to repent through prophets. The church for the...

    You really think God was angry throughout the OT?

    The Basis of Salvation

    If folk would study the OT sanctuary and recognise how it was a type of the gospel, more would understand how Israel was never in a position to celebrate after the altar of sacrifice. Thus we should never consider the cross as the only component of the gospel package. That was only the...

    For The 9999th Time, OSAS (Albeit Testimony Time)

    Agree. When God said 'if man sees my face he'll die' does not mean 'I will kill you'.

    Aussie and Kiwi politics and events

    Yep, the ground shook in anticipation of my coming... Seriously though, about a third of what is now Napier was once lagoon. The land rose about 12 feet in places and drained the swamp. Maybe that's what Trump needs.

    For The 9999th Time, OSAS (Albeit Testimony Time)

    Be a good topic. Jesus came to save us from our sins. If we view sin as the scripture desctibes it, something that separates us from God, them to be saved is to be brought back into God's favor, although that is a very general statement and there is a great deal could be added. Another word for...

    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    For you, almost surely is living dangerously close to an absolute truth. Each of the above lines may answer I think separate questions and contextually different subjects.

    Here's a little of Kiwi history... My hometown 20 years before I was born.

    If You Believe Your Denomination Is...

    That church loses its authority the moment she plays the harlot. God then raises up others to carry the mantle. Such has been the case all the way down through history. All the while the scriptures remain constant and are the final authority regardless of the ecclesiastical pedigree of those...

    If You Believe Your Denomination Is...

    I will offer you one tradition that is not even close to the bottom of any barrel. In fact it is at the very forefront of Catholic tradition and it completely contradicts all scripture from Genesis to Revelation. This false tradition is as Enoch said, an early heresy that was incorporated into...

    For The 9999th Time, OSAS (Albeit Testimony Time)

    When I first came to Christ 43 years ago my understanding of scripture and the process of salvation could have been written in bold capital letters on the back of a napkin and left enough space for the Declaration of Independence. I knew nothing of the concept of OSAS until Christian forums...

    Dare I ask this...

    This is interesting... "Arthur Firstenberg - August 11, 2020 As a person who went to medical school, I was shocked when I read Neil Orr’s study, published in 1981 in the Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. Dr. Orr was a surgeon in the Severalls Surgical Unit in Colchester. And...

    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    Really? What about Revelation 22:7,12,20? When does that take place? So all that are outside are Gentiles? And all the Gentiles are dogs, whoremongers, murderers, idolaters and liars?

    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    Okay, then you and I would agree then that now is the time we allow God to perfect His saints, and not wait for...which begs the question... "Almost surely" not what is meant... you are being uncharacteristically assertive here? I'm surprised so many Christians deny a literal second coming...

    The Basis of Salvation

    The salvation of man isn't the primary goal of God's plan. Sorry to have to break it to you, but our salvation is a side effect. There are more important issues going on other than our selfish desire to escape the result of sin.
