    So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

    I am surprised at your previous sharp reply to Enoch, hb. I must also add that i do not consider Enoch a fool.

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    A sacrifice for sin was not just once but was repeated at different times. It was to keep the horror of sin constantly before their eyes.....and yes Nancy, A&E were clothed in skins (covering) God provided......another pointer to the Redeemer to come. Much can be learnt from a study of the...

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    BG, Yes, Cain and Able brought a offering or a sacrifice for sin. The greater unfolding of the plan of redemption in types and figures was given to Moses some time later. This included various feasts and offerings, first fruits included. Once A&E had transgressed the command not to eat of the...

    Why Was Cain’s Sacrifice Rejected by God?

    It was God who instituted the sacrificial practice. 'without the shedding of blood their is no remission of sin'. It was to bring to the consciousness the horrific nature and the consequences of sin. It also prefigured the lamb of God, Jesus. They looked forward in faith, we look backwards...

    Has anyone changed their mind...?

    Has anyone changed their mind? .... yeah, from time to time in my journey. In my 47 years as a Christian I have let things go as a result of allowing points of view to percolate. I've had to knock out bricks in the building to replace them with better ones, some were quiet structurally unsound...

    Seventh day Adventism

    yes, it's very primary. It cannot get more primary.....the soul that sins will die. Did God need to qualify his words? I don't think so but he did add from dust you came, to dust you will return. Adam knew he was a living soul and what he was composed of, so did the entire watching universe...

    So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

    Thank you historyb for your straightforward note. We all no doubt have views that we are persuaded are correct. I have not been banned nor my posts deleted because of my particular angle as I have found on other sites even pay sites. The fact that some of the participants can be cantankerous is...

    When is 'Speaking in Tongues', true versus false.

    in the last days demonic spirits will masquerade as God's Spirit. It is not blasphemy nor is it bordering on it to identify them.

    When is 'Speaking in Tongues', true versus false.

    like I said, I knew it wasn't real. The scripture that says, 'the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets' confirms this. One of the great deceptions of the last days is and will be is what is deemed spiritual phenomena. Understanding what comes from where has been laid out clearly...

    When is 'Speaking in Tongues', true versus false.

    My experiences and view concur with what you're saying Zephanyahu. In fact at one juncture in my journey I tried the babbling words without any encouragement to see what would happen. Sure enough, within a short period it just flowed as if automatic. I was quiet surprised but in myself I knew it...

    42. Are We Free to Ignore God's Law if We are "Under Grace"?

    ByGrace, a lot of fancy footwork is done when it comes to the law, particularly God's Law. To cut to the chase, The Law of Christ and the Ten Commandments are the same thing. If what is meant by the law of Moses is the Ten Commandments (and I'm assuming that's what you mean) there is a problem...

    Poll: Best age for first tattoo?

    C'mon guys, surely a question of this nature being asked betrays spiritual immaturity if not a complete lack of spiritual growth!

    Deception

    LOL ... Ok, i won't buy that tub of ice cream and I'll walk straight by the confectionary isle. That'll ensure at least a couple less exposures to deception. :)

    42. Are We Free to Ignore God's Law if We are "Under Grace"?

    Yes, we are free to ignore God's Law .....even if we think we are under Grace. If you want to covet, go right ahead, isn't it the general consensus!.....if you want to break faith and be friendly with that honey next door, why not, doesn't God want us to enjoy life?..... if you want to lie...

    Upping the ante

    I think that those who have genuinely repented and taken the yoke of Jesus are not burdened. They rejoice when they see justice and righteousness. If there is any burden it is seeing the self sabotaging activity of both the world and hypocrites. As for herding cats, that may well be the case...
