"If that were true?" You see what I did, I got you to admit your errors. You don't believe He was born without sin and did not sin, nor do you believe in the deity of Christ. Jesus didn't tell us how He created the universe either because we couldn't grasp that concept, Einstein couldn't. See, I...

John's water baptism prepared people for Christ's arrival, a symbolic act that represented the forgiveness of sins that would later come from Jesus. None of their sins were forgiven at that moment. No one was regenerated, born again. Water baptism does not save anyone. JESUS SAVES. HE CLEANSES...

It wasn't a charade. Jesus needed no remission of sins. This act validated John's work and John in turn presented the Messiah, Lord and Savior. This marked the beginning of Jesus' ministry. He was anointed and became the Messiah, the heavens opened, the Holy Spirit descended on Him like a...

The key distinction that John the Baptist made between his water baptism and a more powerful baptism is this: I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and...

That is a good point. However, John introduced Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Jesus was baptized but what accomplied that baptism? The Holy Spirit appeared and the Father spoke from Heaven. Just a water baptism by itself wouldn't mean much, wouldn't prove much to...

Well, the Body of Christ is composed of 2.65+ billion believers. We respond collectively concerning the fundamentals in the Bible. Then there are the doctrines that are blurry at best, mysterious, things we typically debate over. So things we can be certain about, we usually unite. Catholics and...

Those are good starting points. 4. Pray Some have the spiritual gift to discern evil spirits. I think I have that one. But not Christians do. We are all given certain spiritual gifts, need to know what they are, and need to use and share them. As long as you pray daily, and include specific...

There are many valid and worthy questions that need to be answered. I had hundreds and God answered them in due time. My brother is smart, accomplished, a millionaire. I would say he has lots of common sense, but he is an atheist and has these huge obstacles secured firmly, preventing him to see...

This was your list of topics that you frequently post about: 1) Universalism (UR) 2) The law, the Law, God's law, Christ's law (four different things) 3) LGBT issues and the church People with common sense have a problem with those topics, can't seem to sort them out as to what is truth and...

That was the point I was trying to make. Common sense varies and then doesn't really amount to much when you are talking about God and the Bible. You would think Stephen Hawking had this common sense you are talking about, but he turned out to be a fool, confounded by the Biblic concepts that a...

The question I have is, Is there such a thing as common sense beyond our five senses? Everyone is coming from different levels of education, knowledge, experience, age. Kids sense things differently than adults do. It is said that children can't distinguish between what is real and what is...

2 Peter 3:10 event happens after the Millennial Kingdom. 144k is not symbolic. Specific names of tribes and people are never used in parables or symbolism. People will survive the Great Tribulation/ Second Coming of Christ in wrath. Those with the mark of the Beast will not. Those with the mark...

"Thou shalt not kill". Wait a minute, that is not correct. The correct translation should be, "Thou shalt not murder!" There is a difference. The Hamas murdered people for selfish, religious, ideological or finacial reasons that were grounded in hate. Israel is killing people, not for selfish...

I don't, they aren't attacking me. I'm at peace, retired, walking my dog, loving my wife and family ... life is good. But soon terrorists will bring their Jihad over here. Then we must defend oursleves. They will meet the wrath of Americans, gun owners, militia who have been waiting and training...

AntiSemitism is certainly spreading throughout world ... a sign of the times.

That's a good point. Are they civil? Define that. Living amongst Hamas, more than half voting for and approving of their actions. Most of the young men are unemployed, therefore producing nothing, offering nothing to the world, following a false religion that promotes Jihad and hate towards...

I thought it looked funny seeing someone repeat the word apartment as many times as you did to make apoint, so I pretended to be amazed and joked about it, a wise crack. Well when Jesus returns and decimates billions, what will yiu say to Him?

Here is an interesting perspective I heard from a soldier/ Navy Seal who battled in several wars. He said, during WWII, there were no humanitarian cries, protests nor aid to the German civilians. Peace and aid comes after war. A war is war and there are casualties, that's a given. Innocent...

You should not let the age of the earth become a factor in your understanding of Genesis, nor its literal and explicit descriptions given -- that God made everything finished and perfect. I think its close to 6000 years and that dinosaurs and humans coexisted. Since they became too large and...

What, you can't perceive that God's Kingdom, which as you say and we all agree, exists in Heaven, won't exist physically _ on earth, where everyone _ on earth _ worships Christ _ Who will rule on earth? "Therefore pray in this way: Our Father, who is in Heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your...
