    America--a Boiling Cauldron

    For a long time now, centuries, the friction and conflict between two warring parties, the extreme right and the extreme left, whose names may be variously known as fascism, socialism, communism, despotism, capitalism, liberal, conservative, Democrat, Republican... A man made contrived conflict...

    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    Because if the one you are following isn't able to keep you from sinning... Today... Then he isn't Jesus.

    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    So church is Babylon? Even where two or three are gathered... That's Babylon? But not where one person is gathered... You... That's not Babylon? How do you know you're not in Babylon, and the one you believe to be Christ whom you are following isn't a pretender?

    The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

    The little horn of Daniel 7 is prophetically the same entity. This power/individual grows out of a beast we recognise as pagan Rome, at a time when pagan Rome had already been subject to division. That event, the fall of pagan Rome and it's divisions had not yet taken place at the time of Nero...

    Well It looks As If Our Covid 19 Levels Have Changed Again

    Yeah, half way to mount Buller. That's metro Melbourne? Wow. Healesville is a long way out as is Warburton, but Matlock... That is wop-wops on steroids. The question I keep asking though with all this chaos, are there more people dying of covid than a bad flu year? We keep hearing these...

    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    There was a time about 15 years ago when a book was first released by a well known minister that became somewhat of a sensation. ( Although at the moment I can't for the life of me remember either the name of the book or it's author). Little Bible study groups appeared everywhere and I was...

    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    So tell us. You certainly have some animosity against what you call religion, and you also have that same animosity against denominations, and in particular, seventh Day Adventist. So, please explain the basis upon which you conflate the two, and specifically why they are so objectionable. Oh...

    Well It looks As If Our Covid 19 Levels Have Changed Again

    The current lockdown is supposed to be only for a few days. I don't see any madness a such in that while attempting to trace a source and follow the positives. I get that. At least from a fear perspective of you believe covid is as legal as the black plague, which it isn't, do the hysteria on...

    The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

    Nancy. The word/title Antichrist has a specific meaning, which essentially means instead of, or in place of Christ. In other words whatever power, whether individual or corporate (another discussion), that power is a counterfeit of Christ. If you're interested i can post a study from Revelation...

    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    Before one is converted, he/she chooses to sin for it's his natural inclination. Being inclined in that direction however doesn't mean that choice is inevitable. Unbelievers choose not to commit crime, steal, covet etc every day. The difference for the Christian though is that the old man is...

    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    I'm now 68 and am at present participating in my first ever formal Bible course. I enrolled because a. It's lockdown and b. There's always something new to discover about God and c. There's always deeper things to understand about why we believe what we do. And finally d. I wanted to be able to...

    Take heed that you don't covet the higher seats etc.

    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    I dunno but that sounds like passing the buck again...I sin cos I can't help it... It's in my nature. It's seems to be there a sense of wanting to evade responsibility.

    Cremation

    I can think of another application where you, among numerous others, out of convenience set aside specific biblical directives and strive in order to justify it while accepting something in it's place that is not even implied at all, and is decidedly pagan in origin. Before going hard line on...

    Cremation

    "God doesn't need a rotting corpse to create a new body". After 6000 years, there's a few people in the ground I would suggest the best scientists in the world would struggle to differentiate between them and dirt. At the Resurrection, if Jesus does need that dirt, He'll find it.

    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    That sounds like that would be the kind of thing Eve would have said. The devil made me do it. While the Lord didn't disagree with Eve, he still held her responsible for making s bad choice. As will we. Things will only get better in life when we start making right choices. We are not forced to...

    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    The problem I see in your post is that you seem to be taking choice out of the discussion. We sin because we choose to. For some reason, in heaven we will choose not to. Barney is asking why. Why will we choose not to in heaven? Same reason I believe we choose not to now. We have a progressively...
