History is made up of stories about the struggles between good and evil. God ordains governments, leaders and authorities for a purpose. . He restrains evil through our governments and by His Spirit. Still, God requires man to live righteously but now we are are living in an upside down world...

Made in His image, born into sin and now we are sons of God, reflections of His light.

Ignorant of good and evil. Morality wasn't known. The Garden was meant to give us an idea of what heaven will be like. It was physically perfect and so were Adam and Even, but the idea that Satan was allowed in there to tempt them is not what can be considered a perfect environment. God put the...

I personally believe that all former things will pass away as it says at the end of the Bible. This means the physical universe is temporal. God will create a New Heaven and New Earth. It also states that Death and Hades will be cast into the Lake of Fire (Hell) and destroyed. It is essential at...

He made us in His image ... We are sons of God, like God, reflections of the Light - sometimes.

You can study the historical evidence, in which there are fragments of the original books. God's word was protected by God and passed down accurately with few errors. Textual criticism is pretty accurate academic scholarship. They have over 5k manuscripts, copies of the originals and when they...

I have always believed that the entire NT was written within one generation of Christ. Most if the books were written prior to the fall of Jerusalem and then the last book, Revelation around 95 AD. When were the Bible books written?

You are absolutely wrong. The invisible attributes of God that we share can be demonstrated but not put under a microscope. We are made in His image. What does that mean? We have a mind, volition, emotions, creative abilities and a spirit. We also have faith, hope, peace and love. You can't...

The day and the hour of His return was sealed in the scroll that He would receive after He accomplished His mission, death and resurrection. Emptied his spirit into a human vessel, does not mean his mind. I think it is likened to a glass of water being poured into a different container. As for...

Interesting question - Never thought of that one. A child prodigy does amazing things as an infant, starts playing piano at two and writes a concerto at 4. Those are gifted people. They have a new soul (mind, will, emotions and talents). They mhst kearn from scratch and they do, very quickly...

I think war in the Middle East is imminent. We no longer have Israel's back, so it is open season for Iran, Syria, Turkey, Yemen, Egypt, Libya, Pakistan, all surrounding Islamic nations (most likely 10 of them), backed by Russia (which is why they have a base in Syria and have for decades aided...

You are right on a very important principle, God converts the individual. It is a spiritual act that involves lifting that veil of blindness, shedding light on the darkness, there is so much that we are not capable of doing that. But we cooperate with His love and His Word and He works through...

Well, of course many say living by example is the best witness. Shine your light, be a reflection, brotherly love, by your fruit, they will know you. She thinks the world of me, I was a good father to my daughter, good husband, etc., but none of thay proves that Jesus died for our sins and rose...

Lol, sorry, I'm constantly correctly spelling errors due to fat fingers on a small phone keyboard . Dianetics.

You can't remove Jesus from the gospel. The the gospel is that He died for our sins and rose on the third day. Who did? "Sorry I can't tell you his name." Silly hypothetical situation. Faith comes by the word. You remove the Word and he cannot know Him. You couldn't even present yourself as a...

That's one of them. I was almost sucked into that cult when I was 22. I read Diabetics and then took a strange class where people stared at each other without any communication. I could tell people, who were absolute strangers, felt uncomfortable. They couldn't focus for too long. I was good at...

Satan is the source of all false religions and philosophies that lead people away from Christ. Most of them existed in Babylon, then were scattered throughout the world. That is why that city was referred to as a whore, in whom the world committed fornication with.

Well, I think the Apostles were a bit more filled with and empowered by the Holy Spirit than most of us. And also most of them lived with Jesus for three years, while completely giving up any worldly and fleshy things. This certainly made for an environment of unity. They had their...

That is a very good point. It makes me laugh thinking about the unity of Christians sometimes in forums, debating, arguing, calling each other names, even implying the other fella must not be saved since they can't discern the scriptures like they do - lol. And then you have the Catholics on one...

So you didn't go to school to learn Greek and how to execute scriptures? Or you just collected the exegesis morsels over the years? I look stuff up in the Greek, use Strongs Concordance sometimes but mainly rely on spiritual discernment. Anyways that particular post could have been used to...
