    Now that is the first post I've seen of yours that wasn't riddled with capitalized words. Sometimes we use them to excentuate/ highlight the word, but your posts are kind of annoying to read sometimes. "While all caps can be used as an alternative to rich-text "bolding" for a single word or...

    That is the world system, Babylon. Remember all the rebelluous pride, false religions, forms of idolatry, mysticism, astrology, humanism, hedonism and the occults came out of that city and spread throughout the world. And the world fornicated with this harlot, a symbolic description used...

    Well, we all know how you feel about Catholism. So, do you practice what you preach online? Do stand outside the Catholic Church on Sunday morning with a warning sign, waiting for the congregation to dismiss so you can warn them, ranting and shouting out to them as you typically do on this...

    Yes, people like Jim Jones, David Koresh, Warren Jeff's, or gay Pastors that lead a liberal flock, are deceived. I agree with the gist of your post. We must be born again by the Spirit and enter through the narrow Gate. Jesus is the Door and our Shepherd. I just don't see Catholics, (it's...

    Sounds like you are backpeddling. You laim lay persons are just fine dandy, just their Pope's, priests, nuns and system are an abomination. That is quite a conflicting and incongruous. They follow the system, worship Jesus, pray (though some of their prayers to saints or Mary are empty and...

    You don't seem to have taken into account the Sovereignty of God. I doubt you know what that means. Catholics believe in Christ, Protestants do. Currently there are 2.7 billion believers (1/3).The Body of Christ is under His control. You are the one looking at their sins and the outside...

    Jesus is the truth, religions that seek after Him are not entirely absolute truth. Otherwise, all Christians would be in agreement. Let's just say religion is man's way of seeking, worshipping, relating to God. Christianity is God's way of seeking a relationship with man. So let's dissect the...

    Where was Jesus between his death and resurrection?

    Paradise. He told the man next to him that "TODAY you will be with Me in Paradise". Hades was divided into two realms separated by a great chasm. One realm, Paradise, for those of faith who would be greeted by OT saints. LUKE 16 explains these two realms. Paradise is now heaven after Jesus...

    Wow this is a long thread. I guess we all have a little pride, prejudiced self righteousness that needs to be knocked down at times.The Bible does give us room to rebuke others, but with a loving hand. Iron sharpens iron. I was taught to love the sinner, hate the sin. The Apostles spread the...

    Chuck Missler Proves The Pre-Trib Rapture

    I lived in Southern California. In the early 90's. As a new Christian, on occasiom I used to visit Tetelestai, (Hal Lindsey's church) and Calvary Chapel, Costa Mesa (Chuck Smith's church). Chuck Misler visited those churches we ever he was in town. I saw him several times. I was fascinated by...

    WOW! If you are hearing it, someone has to be reciting or reading it .... unless you are waiting for God to audibly speak to you. I have to stop here. BYE

    Faith comes by the Word. And it is a gift. You are the one who seems to always have doubts about the Bible. Matthew was written to Christian Jews. It has a Jewish theme, a gospel to the Jews, even starts out with a genealogy. Tha message is to the Jews, how they treated Christians- read the...

    Why I'm NOT a Christian. - Or so they say...

    I have been spending all this time defending the reliability of the Bible, that it has been past down accurately, protected ... it is God's word. Faith comes by the Word. If you doubt it, your faith will be weak. How can you know who Jesus is if you aren't sure the stories are true? And how can...

    Right, the NWT is not accepted by Christianity outside of the JW org. Scholars would say that it is the only Bible translated to conform to a belief system. I am very well aware of JW views, I have many in my family. Glad you brought this example up. The Holy Spirit grows churches that are in...

    Obviously the scribes had numerous methods to text their work. I gave one example of their methods. I trust in the reliability of the Bible, if you don't, that is your problem. I think I'm done here.

    No I am not. Sin has left it's mark on everything. Imperfection, corruption, mutations(defects), we see it everywhere and so not one physical thing is seen as perfect. HIS MESSAGE IS CLEAR, ALL OF IT, JUST NOT TO YOU. You don't trust God with just a minor task as to protect His word, yet believe...

    Why I'm NOT a Christian. - Or so they say...

    See, this statement shows your lack of knowledge and narrow perspective. The Old Testament is the truth, is God's Word and did not lack the preincarnate Jesus/God. He was with the Israelites. The Judeo/Christian faith has the same God in common, only Jews are still blond to Christ. But soon they...

    Minor variations a count for no changes in any doctrine. As I said, in the New Testament, there only 400 words in question. The King James Authorized Bible has 783,137 words.As for the number of letter characters in the Bible, the total count is a staggering 3,116,480. So a misspelled word in...
