It is quite a mixed bag of jelly beans isn't it. The more important issue is will you support the present state, that is presently called Israel or rally against her, like these foolish anti-semites? Ten nations will join forces to attack her soon, mostly Muslim. Jesus will return and destroy...

1, 2, 5 & 6 are correct. But you fail to see the distinction between Jews and Gentiles ON EARTH in Romans 11. Paul even identifies himself as an Israelite. "IN CHRIST" there is no distinction but Israel is a chosen nation, separate from the Gentiles and still is recognized as such. It's there...

We don't bet against God's Word. We don't judge God's Word nor test it by some scientific formula. We are to be obedient. As we have seen in other threads, you wrestle with this concept (along with several others). Your game is cheap and stupid!

No, Romans 9:11 doesn't say that. Jacob and Esau were chosen for a purpose. Judas was chosen long before he was born to betray Jesus with 30 pieces of silver ( Zech. 11:12-13) It is God's prerogative, His purpose that some are used in ways that are painful and destitute, apparently void of love...

Psalm 51:5 ( among many other verses) serves the purpose of disproving YOUR VIEW: that we are not born in sin and innocent. It is a fundamental Christian doctrine that we are born in sin! You don't understand some basic Christian doctrines ... and so we won't continue on your road. Bye.

When Adam and Eve sinned, their spirit died ( the part of them that was pure and connected to God). Their bodies also started to die. Cells died that day, corruption and distortion entered into all life. Diseases, illnesses, bacteria and viruses began to emerge on that day. Mutations are...

No we are born that way. Babies sin before anyone teaches them. Before they can talk they are lying manipulating and selfish. "Did you knock over that lamp , no, he did it - pointing to his brother." You haven't experienced a child in the terrible twos stage? Who taught them to get on the...

The sin nature is the carnal mind. You fail to understand what sarx means. Everyone is born with a physical body, (but this is not entirely the complete definition of sarx). The carnal mind is not the brain. God has a mind with thoughts, feelings and will, but no physical body. The mind uses...

True, you said "What inspires people to get married, I'm not sure of". Inspiration is fueled by desire. Desire motivates a person to achieve or acquire something. Woman motivate men to move, achieve, be the best they can be. Like a dancing male bird tries to impress the female bird, man will...

Wow. A 70 year old male who has never been married, nor has had a desire? I don't think I ever met anyone like that except a priest. There are a wide range of reasons this could happen and I wrote down a list but then erased them because they were all sad. At this point in life, why would be...

Women can Pastor girls even younger boys, which they are used to doing as a mother. But this guidance comes alongside a male role model that guides and teaches as well. But once a kid reaches their teens they should be pastored by a male. A woman cannot teach a boy how to be a man. A problem...

God is sovereign! That means He has been in control of all history. What do we see in history? Men ruling over women. Kings, governors, authorities, chiefs, generals, priests, the Prophets, the Apostles, husbands, ... Wherever you look, in whatever culture, men have ruled over women. Exceptions...

I think the concept that "salvation can be lost" is not only a contextual problem but it's deeper, it's tied to the misunderstanding of the Doctrine of Election. The elect are chosen by God. He is sovereign and doesn't change His mind. Some could say branches were cut off the Vine, yes, but they...

Well the writer is discussing the LAW of Moses, which he references in vs. 28. So he is discussing the Old Testament sacrifices, then contrasts that with Christ's final sacrifice in vs. 29: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son...

Then your faith is filled with doubts. We are justified by faith, not by works. It is a gift. You don't earn the gift. But we do respond by being obedient. That obedience is flawed. If you think your obedience isn't flawed, you are deceived. God makes us holy. Matt. 24:13 is a distinctive...

You need to start looking at the good in everyone. Have a little mercy, forgiveness, kindness, Jesus did with us. No one is perfect, everyone makes errors. But if we just focus on their errors, we won't receive any of them. We'll end up alone, clanging our own cymbal, beating our own drum into...

Bible time is good for all. But there you go again with "many men ... many churches rant" ... I asked for specifics and you paint a broad brush stroke as if the majority of Christians are so corrupt. I think most of us here do. In the beginning of my walk ( 33 years ago) I did attend a good...

Bible time is good for all. But there you go again with "many men ... many churches" ... I asked for specifics and you paint a brosd brush stroke as if the majority of Christians are so corrupt. I think most of us here do. In the beginning of my walk, I did attend a good church with a great...

Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm. Prov. 13:20 Take one twin child who is adopted by some simple minded, godless, Hillbilly patents in Mississippi and the other adopted by two Christian professors, how do you think they will turn out? One...

Well the Bible says that God draws all men to Himself. That implies that some must resist and reject Him. By chance I meant opportunity. Every knee will bow means all who believed, all who were saved. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already...
