Often it is a mistake to take the literal word of God literally as there is a context that is not meant to have universal applicability. This is one of those times as I demonstrated. Said differently, IF this world is controlled by the devil, how do you reconcile that fact with the existence...

Incorrect. If this were true, Jesus would not have come OR have any effect. Yes, there is evil in this world and it is generally under the control of worldly considerations but this does not negate that God is now and always has acted powerfully in this world. See this very forum as evidence...

The best apology to that is the enemies of God have arguments, whereas God's children have experiences. This is always the experience; the ego blocks spiritual growth and connection with God. It is the Original Sin. Humans want to be their own God. It takes genuine humility to realize: (1). We...

A fact free post.

No, I don’t want to modify my statement one little bit. Trump is a genius and your TDS prevents you from seeing wonderful, miraculous results.

Welcome to the forums, BTW. I used to go to a fellowship in Sarnia, Ontario. I must have missed your intro thread. Could you tell us about your spiritual journey?

Not that this is a salvation issue, it may be held against you. 2 Chronicles 15:7 But you, be strong, and don’t slack off; for your work will be rewarded.” Matthew 12:36 And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak.

For months, I’ve thought about starting a thread entitled, “The Forbidden Virtue: Loyalty.” The adage is true, “A friend in need is a friend, indeed.” Few weddings would be attended if the guests presence certified 100% agreement with everything the bride and groom ever did. I‘ve been told many...

It must gall you that more Americans voted for Trump than any candidate in American history.

It all depends on the relationship with your brother. A great friend has me in both wedding parties. His twin brother was the best man in the first wedding. In the 2nd wedding, where there was adultery, the twin "had to work." I don't think there relationship was ever the same.

Not sure what kind of pacifist angle you are working. Satan is spirit and he's destined for the Lake of Fire. Putting aside your false spiritual/carnal dichotomy, that is the righteous use of violence.

That there is such a thing as righteous violence.

Nope. The great Persian culture will continue, hopefully without the oppressive Islamic contagion.

So that’s why Christians can’t support Israel - cuz my lack of love.

LOL. Disgruntled at IDOLATRY perhaps. There aren't too many threads trying to keep the hope alive for other translations. The IDOLATRY of this question is maddening. KJVO folks always act like others have to proof their IDOL is false. What an absurd question! I can read and instantly tell the...

I would not trouble the almighty with that prayer! if someone wants t o study archaic books, knock yourself out. I have ZERO interest and only antipathy for Spending my time.

Not sure why you’re trying to make this personal. The Bible is one of the most violent books ever written, violence commanded by God, violence not condemned by God as I cited, violence done by Jesus in his life, violence Jesus implied by taking out our own eye and buying a sword, and the...

Begin in gratitude. I like to state my concerns, pray for specific worldly solutions and allow for his Providence to expand. Example: Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for this day and the weekend I had to Sabbath. I'm grateful for the doctors and nurses who were able to treat my wife in the ER...

Brother I'm trying to agree with you. Don't make it hard! LOL The example of Jesus emotions from Mark 3 were directed at people not abstract concepts like "truth." If you don't think there is a difference, then bless your heart and make a blessed day.
