    2023 Federation of American Immigration Reform Report- key facts: At the start of 2023, the net cost of illegal immigration for the United States – at the federal, state, and local levels – was at least $150.7 billion. FAIR arrived at this number by subtracting the tax revenue paid by illegal...

    What is the difference between a Jew and a Christian?

    The truth is you rip Jesus out of all those scriptures.

    What is the battle of Gog and Magog in Revelation 20:8?

    Beelzabub and Abaddon are mentioned in the Bible, demon princes. I have heard of Asteroth and Vishnu but not the others. Since Revelation implies that 200 million demons (locked up in Tartarus) are released during the Great Tribulation, that does not mean there aren't any roaming the world now...

    Salvation by own faith alone: Man saving himself by own will

    It means you are deceived and doomed. You can do nothing good without God. The wages of sin is death, that is the judgment, physical and spiritual death. Can you will yourself to live eternally? Let's see how that fantasy would play out. When you die _ according to you _ you can will your...

    Sabbath or Sunday? What did Jesus teach & show in scripture?

    Nice angle and shift towards your view but context is important. He is the Creator and He did make the point to the Pharisees that He was greater then the Temple, so that was part and partial to His point, to make a statement of His deity and authority, to put the Pharisees off, denouncing their...

    What is the battle of Gog and Magog in Revelation 20:8?

    Rebellious enemies yes. Gog and Magog are principalities, demon generals of Satan - if you will, sent out to the four corners of the world. Satan, throughout time and currently, has demons in charge of certain areas of the world More prevalent and obvious are areas where evil reigns like...

    Donald Trump says he will be a 'dictator'...

    10 million have come over the border in 3 years. That is more than the population of 41 states. So Biden just added another state filled with people who we don't know, don't speak the language, are breaking the law so we can expect that any law means little them, with their hands out for a free...

    ...

    The Bible clearly teaches two destinations, eternal life and death -destruction of both body and soul in tue Lake of Fire. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life". John 3:16 He who believes in the Son has...

    FOR - YOU - WHO - CLAIM - GOD IS YOUR FATHER

    Beware of newcomers, some who are trolls, joining the forum a few days before Christmas _ causing dissension _ attacking your faith _ argumentative ... posting dancing and laughing emojis purposely to mock. Two of them left abruptly and deleted their posts. A Rabbi ... really, using such...

    FOR - YOU - WHO - CLAIM - GOD IS YOUR FATHER

    The Apostle John (being inspired by the Holy Spirit) wrote that book. Jesus was speaking to the Disciples, who were followers, believers, Christians ( a term that came much later). The message goes also out to the world as part of the gospel. Yes the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost, but that does...

    FOR - YOU - WHO - CLAIM - GOD IS YOUR FATHER

    The majority of John 14 is speaking to Christians. Vs. 5, Thomas asks a question, vs. 6 Jesus answers him but the message is also to the rest of us. Vs. 8 Philip asks a question, Jesus answers him and the message goes out to all. Vs. 22 Judas asks a question. Vs. 23-31 is a message to all...

    FOR - YOU - WHO - CLAIM - GOD IS YOUR FATHER

    I'm being derogatory, facetious ... that was tongue in cheek comment. Just having some fun. What did Jesus mean by saying pick up your cross and follow me? They knew what the cross represented during the Roman rule. It meant shame and death, suffering. So He told the disciples if you are going...

    FOR - YOU - WHO - CLAIM - GOD IS YOUR FATHER

    He told them they would all die. Most of them were martyred. They were beaten, jailed, stoned to death ... Didn't Peter ask to be hung on a cross upside down? Physically we all suffer and die, to the glory of God. We run the race, carry our cross (persecutions of the world in the name of...

    FOR - YOU - WHO - CLAIM - GOD IS YOUR FATHER

    Meant to say my sins were atoned for by Christ. The spell check is wrong sometimes.

    FOR - YOU - WHO - CLAIM - GOD IS YOUR FATHER

    We hate sin and the world, but we also have this inner peace knowing that God is sovereign and has everything moving along as it should. Judgment Day is coming. The Messiah you've been waiting for will soon be revealed to you. "Every eye will see Him". You will mourn on that day realizing that...

    FOR - YOU - WHO - CLAIM - GOD IS YOUR FATHER

    True, He came the first time as a suffering servant, which Isaiah 53 describes Him as. He came with a sword ( the Word of God) which divides people. But we also hear these words: Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be...

    FOR - YOU - WHO - CLAIM - GOD IS YOUR FATHER

    Thankfully my sins are atoned for by Christ's once and for all sacrifice. How are your sins atoned for?

    FOR - YOU - WHO - CLAIM - GOD IS YOUR FATHER

    Yes, you don't have a relationship with God. If you dishonor the Son then you dishonor the Father. Since the Father, Son and Holy are One, you do not have a relationship with God. I had aj interesting experience with seven rabbis once. I transported them from LAX airport to the Fairfax...

    Sugar coating hell - the bitter pill

    Yes, that is one way of looking at it. The other would be that the word has variable meanings determined by the realm it is applied to. Earth and everything in it is temporal; God, His domain and our salvation is not. Notice in this verse everlasting (owlam in Hebrew) cannot mean eternal/...
