    Personal Prophecy

    Well, I think we are in the Great Tribulation, and the the Four Horsement are out of the barn, so what's next? Famine, death, pestilence. I have not received dreams or visions; I just feel something big is coming this year. That said, in the USA, we have an important election coming up and I do...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    My mistake. I misread post 115 sec. 3. It is impossible for man to mess up God's plan. Just one free willed person theoretically could certainly disrupt the sovereignty of God. Every detail, with many persons involved in a synchronized series of events, orchestrated for hundreds and thousands...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    You don't understand that our choice cost something, they are not free. There is a penalty for sin. If there was no law, there would be no sin, nor slave to God, nor slave to the Devil and then you would have total free will. Power? "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    Simply, free implies no cost, no consequences, no judgment. You are free to do God's will within His law and He has forgiven you the bad choices you made. It cost Him suffering and death on the cross.

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    You are conflating two different things, the will and a belief. The will/volition is an act or action to perform or attain something. A belief is an acceptance of something, true or false. It is static, doesn't have to move, it's just there, it's not a bunch of choices, it is an thought or...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    We are able to choose good and evil but we aren't free to, there is a cost to our evil choices, so they we aren't free, God's law is there that bumps up against our will. It's like a barrier. Don't break this law, or that law or that law ... you aren't free to. There are many insignificant...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    Very analytical. I agree jn part except that God's plan was not interupted. I'll put it more simply. Man does not have free will. If it was free than he could do anything he wanted without judgment and penalties. We are either a slave to God or a slave to Satan. Furthermore if we were free...

    Economic tsunami, possibly this year - A cashless society, digital currency

    Source: Banking Dive, Sept. 16, 2022 [The Biden administration is calling for more regulation of cryptocurrencies, and wants agencies to step up enforcement actions against digital asset firms that harm consumers, according to a series of reports published Friday. In the reports, the...

    Economic tsunami, possibly this year - A cashless society, digital currency

    How did you get so smart? You seem to have a way to put my mind at ease. I wonder though with a CBDC created, will it be the same one for all governments (OWG) and by this act, will all other digital currencies be squeezed out of business and fail? I don't expect you to know the answer, just...

    Economic tsunami, possibly this year - A cashless society, digital currency

    Good, someone suggested it was going to happen tomorrow. It seems like that would take time, a gradual transition to change over; otherwise panic, confusion, a run on the banks ... where's George Baily when you need him? They tested this partially in other countries like India, jist tonsee...

    Thoughts on this paper? The overestimation of the uneducated when disagreeing with actual experts.

    I think it was a good secular, philosophical, general view of people chasing after the wind, that is to say, everything under the sun. However, the other side of the coin states that if you don't have a relationship with God, then it doesn't matter who you follow, experts, scientists or Jiminy...

    Economic tsunami, possibly this year - A cashless society, digital currency

    Biden signed an Executive Order in March 2022 requiring a long list of government agencies: the FED, Treasury, Banks and numerous government officials, etc., to examine all aspects of digital currencies, strategies and plans, effects, the creation of our own digital currency CBDC (which would...

    Any other Christians in here interested in evolution? I mean genuinely wants to understand it.

    You'd be talking about myth, concerning Hercules, not truth. Your "progressive", liberal approach to the Bible is irresponsibly reckless. I do believe one can have a faith in Christ without qualifying it with an accurate understanding of our origins. Heck, you can read the New Testament only...

    Any other Christians in here interested in evolution? I mean genuinely wants to understand it.

    We do have over 5300 Greek manuscripts of the New Testament that confirm the reliability of the Bible. Fragments date back from 20-30 years after Jesus death and resurrection and complete copies from 325 AD. The Dead scrolls contain fragments and even a completw copy of Isaiah dating back to...

    Any other Christians in here interested in evolution? I mean genuinely wants to understand it.

    As an infant understands the love of his parents, truth is received in such simplicity that it escapes some. So the child grows up, reads and studies a handful of books about love and can't find it. He goes off analyzing the ingredients like a science experience and still remains confounded...

    Any other Christians in here interested in evolution? I mean genuinely wants to understand it.

    Hermeneutics? A young child can understand Gen. 1 & 2. It's straight forward, put in simple everyday language. Day 1 - And God said, “Let there be light,” >>The earth spinning around on its axis with light shining from one direction obviously separates the light from the darkness on one side...

    Any other Christians in here interested in evolution? I mean genuinely wants to understand it.

    "In the beginning God made the heavens and the earth." This is a foundational concept. The major questions of life: Who we are; where did we come from; how did life begin; what is our purpose; where are we going; what happens after death; is there a God and if so, what does He expect from us...

    Proclaiming the Word Means?

    I told already, the entire NT ( the WORD) proclaims who Jesus is. You are stuck. You are in denial that Jesus is God. 3056 [e] logō λόγῳ word Logo/logos appears 330 times in 316 verses.

    Proclaiming the Word Means?

    Paul's proclaiming (preaching, testifying, devoted to) the word (the truth, the gospel, the exact expression and illumination of God who is Jesus, the good news, the solution to the world's penalty of death, our salvation ), was what his mission was everywhere he traveled and all that he wrote _...
