    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Is murder in your Church a deadly sin? So if Jesus says that a hating person is a murderer at heart, then if you are hating through your comments on the forum, then what does Jesus say about you?

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    If you evaluate your post according to the fruit of the Spirit, how do you rate? Loving? Your post isn't. Joyful? No joy in it. Gentle? Not gentle in your comments. Kind? Very unkind in what you are saying. So, how come you can call yourself a Christian if you have never repented...

    Heresy within Christianity

    I know you didn't mention evolution, but I just wanted to post my thoughts as they came, knowing that I am probably preaching to the choir. But there will be many "silent" ones reading these posts, and I wanted to add my thoughts to the mix without making it appear that I am arguing against...

    Heresy within Christianity

    It is not that evolution itself is to blame, but it is the way people have used evolution to view non-white people as being of an inferior race lower down on the evolutionary scale. One prominent evolutionist stated that the intelligence level of black Africans is equivalent to a European 11...

    Heresy within Christianity

    Viewing our world is like the dentist's hymn: "Change and decay in all around I see!"

    Yep! Is that a short enough post that fits your criteria? :-)

    Heresy within Christianity

    We just take His Word for it. Actually, we can't define perfection, because we have never seen it. We live in a fallen, imperfect world where everything around us has the curse of God on it because of Adam's disobedience. The whole planet is riddled with death and decay. Just to add petrol...

    Heresy within Christianity

    Then you are actually making God out to be a liar, because Adam did not die that very day, but 900 years later. But the Scripture says that God is not a man that He should lie (Numbers 23:19). I think you have painted yourself into a corner, because you have only two alternatives: 1. God did...

    Is Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday.

    All you are doing is shoe-horning your own preconceived dogmatic view into the Scripture which does not say what you are wanting it to say. "But now that you know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you are turning back to those weak and worthless principles? Do you wish to be...

    Is Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday.

    Jesus rose at daybreak on Sunday morning, so Sunday was not one of those days. The third night, if you just read the clear English was Saturday night. 3 days, Thursday to Saturday, and 3 nights, Thursday night to Saturday night. If you calculate 3 days and 3 nights from Friday, you have...

    Is Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday.

    Just read about what happened during Passover week for First Century Jews. That would not contradict the Scripture narrative of events seeing that the Scripture is just reflecting what was happening during that Passover week when Jesus was arrested and crucified. As I said before, after...

    Is Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday.

    I suggest you do some reading about First Century Jewish culture, festivals, Passover, and Sabbath rules, because you are not demonstrating a knowledge of them. Also a bit of study in exegesis and hermeneutics wouldn't go far wrong either, seeing that you think you can cobble verses together...

    Is Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday.

    The Passover day was the day before the Sabbath day. If it was on the Sabbath, they could not have cooked the lamb or served it to their families, because that would have been unauthorised work. The First Century Jews were ultra strict about that. Look what happened when the disciples merely...

    Heresy within Christianity

    True. But it is best assumption that we have, and gives a clue to where your ancestors may have come from and why your skin is a lighter brown than indigenous Australians, who may have originated from one of the other sons of Noah. By the way, it was shocking to me to learn that the early...

    Heresy within Christianity

    It could very well be a god of his own imagination, and not the God of the Bible. That is a violation of the first commandment where he has constructed his mental image of a god replacing the true God who says that there is no other God but Him.

    Heresy within Christianity

    The day speaks of the day that they eat the fruit, not the day in which they will die. You are bending the basic rules of comprehension and language structure as well as adding to the Scripture, putting you right in the path of Proverbs 30:5-6). If what you say is true then God should have...

    Heresy within Christianity

    Whatever happened with the migration, it shows that they migrated from where Noah's sons exited the ark, populated the region, and then migrated as the result of the division of languages. This was not Africa as evolutionist claim but in the region of modern day Turkey.

    Heresy within Christianity

    Splitting hairs. You are trying to make out that God did not create a perfect world. You are saying that God does not do all things well, as the Scripture says. Also the number 7 in Scripture stands for perfection - didn't you know that?

    There is nothing in the Scripture that backs your answer up. You are reading into Scripture that is not there, and you are ignoring Jewish culture and history and what happens in Passover week. Proverbs 30:5-6 is your judge. Not me. You are adding to Scripture to support your own dogmatic...

    Oh come on! I am not even going to respond to that one! That's not even an intelligent answer!
