    Biblical AUTHORITY

    Those are the terms placed by God that can only be revealed as true or false by the same Spirit which inspired the scriptures and those sent. So, only by the Spirit can we come to know what is true and what is not--which, if embraced, eliminates the "flesh and blood" component which Christ...

    Stepping into God's Purpose For Your Life

    It is a good word, but the days are coming when what is now looked at as destiny, was and is (already) as the words of a book already written. Meaning that, yes, for our here and now perspective, destiny not yet fully realized or revealed to us, does not mean that it is not already so, but...

    Biblical AUTHORITY

    It is certainly good to be skeptical and not believe everyone....so long as we leave room for God to squeeze in the likes of a shepherd boy...or a donkey. It is also good to remember that although the scriptures are indeed a great tool and reference regarding all matters of God, the mistake and...

    Trump is dangerous - a Messianic Complex

    That's just prejudice bologna. When in office Trump surrounded himself with Christians and Christian spiritual counsel, defended and helped Israel, acted against abortion, and for regular people and the family. And I say that as one who has met, looked him in the eye, spoken with him, and found...

    Biblical AUTHORITY

    In preface, this is a word to the wise...and those not so wise. Which I am commenting on because over the these times of the gentiles and the church, the perspective toward biblical authority has changed; and when I say "biblical authority"--I do not mean authority according to what one may...

    Trump is dangerous - a Messianic Complex

    Even so, Jesus now reigns and this is all just the enactment of evidences before the Judgment. Don't be surprised if the Judgement is not also first enacted in the events of this world, as it is written, "Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring...

    Trump is dangerous - a Messianic Complex

    Campaigning on one's prior, proven record...is not "narcissism." It's what it takes to win. Even if Trump is a modern day Nebuchadnezzar--why throw your vote away to the benefit of the Democrats, greater of two evils? Best to put your feelings aside. Nebuchadnezzar: The Jews thereafter...

    Be Warned: Revelation 20 Is Not... A Current Reality

    But you haven't answered the question (How do you reconcile (or even rationalize) such events of God--as being "future", with the fact that He "is the same yesterday, today, and forever" and "says, “I am the Lord, I change not?”). In other words, acts of God are according to His unchanging...

    The Origins of Christmas ~PART 2

    Oh good! The fact that many of the present traditions have nothing to do with Christ, is not to the discredit of the church fathers, but should be considered a well intended attempt to expose pagans to Christianity--not the other way around. Those pagan traditions speak rather of the pagans not...

    Peter the Rock?

    Yes, you gave the answer already...because: Jesus never used the term, because He "was speaking Aramaic." But that is not the real reason Jesus called him "Peter", changing his name. Nor does changing his name make it all about him (except in his own life and service, as chosen by God). No acts...

    The Origins of Christmas ~PART 1

    That was nauseating! Those accounts of tradition origins may be good to know--but, was it ever stated In that painful exhortation why Christians and the church celebrate the birth of Jesus on December 25th? The point is...those are not the reasons Christians and the church celebrate on December...

    the Urantia Book and the Bible

    It would appear to be philosophy-based, which in the greater reality of God, would mean that it comes forth as from the clay rather than from the Potter. Thus, not advisable. The point being, that there is but One way of going beyond our eventual death unto life everlasting...and side trips of...

    Peter the Rock?

    And you can pretend you "did NO such thing"--but I quoted you. The above is also quotable (as fruit).

    Peter the Rock?

    Great work, good point! I might suggest that your findings indicate a hole in the so-called "apostolic succession" doctrine. Except, that would assume that the matter were actually left in the hands of men. But no, if there is a hole--it was left by God.

    Peter the Rock?

    Hmmm, you acknowledge what I said and quoted as the truth--but then reply: "WRONG." That explains a lot of replies from you. Unfortunately. I now see the problem and will not trouble or torment you further.

    Uzzah and the Arc of the Covenant

    Your question is not unlike this one: Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. 2And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” John 9:1-2 To which Jesus answered, saying: “Neither this man nor his parents sinned...
