@GodsGrace you have been asking the same question, where did evil come from, for at least 4 years. My answer then... And you agree with me. I'm wondering why you keep asking the question when you know there's no answer? What are you trying to accomplish?

There was no evil within the tree itself. There was nothing inherently evil in the tree. The evil was in the act of disobedience. The tree: the choice to partake off its fruit, was a test. A&E had a choice. Trust God or trust the serpent. The believed the serpent. And here we are.

What are the parameters of religious liberty, if any? What are the biblical foundations of religion liberty, if any?

Times have changed. Today we have technology and air travel to support missions. God will work with the tools available to His people. It was necessary at the time that they met house to house. It didn't mean they neglected the synagogue, but they spent far more time together then than we...

Here is a fascinating interview. It deals with some of what we have discussed here, but from an occult perspective. It is also unashamedly adventist, and refers here and there to adventist understanding of biblical teaching. I believe @TLHKAJ you would likely find some of this disturbing...

God certainly created Lucifer, knowing that eventually he would rebel. Yet that rebellion wasn't inevitable, God placing Lucifer in an exalted position right next to His throne as one of 2 covering cherubs. He could have skipped creating Lucifer, and no-one would have known. Lucifer had...

Have you ever been accused of dividing Christianity? I find it interesting that truth does divide. In fact, Babylon falls partly because it unites through error. We are called to diviide from her. Just as God divided the light from the darkness at creation. In context of our times...

Another one seeking to escape his responsibility for his own choices to sin, blaming it all on God.

That's a nice convenient way to escape responsibility for your sin. "God made me do it".

How do people get around ignoring the plain declarations of Truth from the word of God? How clearer can it be? Which is easier to believe? The word from Satan... you shalt not surely die, or the word from the prophet, the soul that sins shall die?  Do they realisethat who they believe, is the...

The pendulum has been swinging from one extreme to another for several hundred years, and such has been the plan of Satan all along. It is s political paradigm based on the philosophy of Hegel, whereby order is brought out of chaos. Hence why most political contests are between just 2 sides...

Sorry about the two replies above saying much the same thing. I didn't see the first one, and thought it didn't get posted.

Absolutely. Less than 50 years ago the general populace would have been horrified at the angst and vitriol thrown against Christians specifically and Christianity in general by anti Christians today. And government policies, particularly in the areas of marriage, gay pride, abortion, and...

A Western hemisphere issue on a massive scale. As above, yes. A threat in two ways. First, to the true gospel. The church is now joining with political power to establish its own righteousness upon society. The true gospel however teaches us that the only righteousness worth having is...

Mmm. The exact same mindset that resulted in the genocidal murder of millions throughout the temporal reign of the papacy during the dark ages. As I stood previously. You do not know Jesus, and you have a serious misapprehension regarding His character.

The church today is rightly disturbed regarding social issues. Marriage. Abortion. Gay rights. The secularisation of society. But those things are mere symptoms of a far greater threat to the gospel. The secularisation of the church.

If you think that God doesn't love you, individually, personally, despite your sin and past, then you haven't met Him. “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me". Revelation 3:20 “1...

Wow. I have seldom read such astonishing ignorance of God's character on a Christian forum. Do you not understand that love (God is love 1 John 4:8) and selfishness (God only loves Himself... Christian Soldier) cannot exist together as they are completely contradictory to one another? As for...

Doesn't answer my question. Is your salvation (I am not suggesting God doesn't love you, but His love alone doesn't save you) workout conditions? Yes, God's love is unconditional, which means He still loves those who hate Him and are lost. But is your salvation unconditional? Is it secure if...

No one is claiming that obedience to the ten commandments is a means to salvation.
