    Wool and linen

    There are many laws that are symbolic of some truth meant for the Church.

    How important is it to agree with other Christians?

    When I see the "Body of Christ," I consider that to be the true Church The bride of Christ consisting of the redeemed. There is certanly a distinction between her and the religious establishments we call church. I've no doubt that a large number of church goers will fail to enter the Kingdom...

    I love Jesus but..

    I grow tired of the spiritual abuse in the church. But I think of the spiritual battle lines and where it makes since for them to be drawn. The world is lost, so the main battle must be in and around the church.

    Fear is the root of all violence

    It appears to all be tied together. I'm sure God hates it when people put the fear of men ahead of him. When people don't love the truth enough to oppose the influences of this world. How many will be condemned because of their own unbelieving father and mother?

    Fear is the root of all violence

    Yes, this is the verse. The KJV uses 'fearful' but other translations use 'cowardly.'.

    Fear is the root of all violence

    Fearful is not the same as cowardly. These are the ones consigned to the lake of fire.

    Spiritual timeline.

    I'm curious how others view the spiritual timeline of history. It appears to be asynchronous with with what happens in this world. Spiritual timeline may be a misnomer, as it assumes there is time in the spirit. However there do seem to be distinct ages. Such as before and after the...

    Homosexuality/sodomy legalized by the Supreme court

    If God revoked all his blessings, I doubt anyone would survive a single day.

    Fear is the root of all violence

    I can see abuse as coming from redirected anger. It doesn't have to be rational, anger can be directed at something other than the fear which provokes it. I still can't imagine God having fear, as that involves uncertainty. God can get frustrated... Therefore I propose it is loss of control...

    Fear is the root of all violence

    Since God can get angry, does that come from fear? Somehow I think not, and this is an overgeneralization.

    Same sex marriage nation wide

    Judgement comes today because of the denial of the eternal gospel, because people refuse to fear God and give him Glory? It makes sense, because the last day judgement is for those who deny the Lordship of Jesus. (John 12:48)

    Our Daily Pursuit

    He is given a gift to preach, and does so in season through the leading of the Holy Spirit. I have seen quite a few of these speaking into a present situation of mine, and some not. I'm sure each one is helpful to at least somebody if not myself. Blessings!

    A list of some present day Disputable Matters

    It is a good list: I would take issue with Law vs Grace being on there though. That is the main subject of Paul's letter to the of Galatians. By extension we should also not be subject to the ten commandments. The two greatest commandments are sufficient as they are the underlying spirit of...

    Same sex marriage nation wide

    Not that I know of, yet... It could be illegal for a clerk of the court to deny a marriage license, as they would be accused of denying a clvil liberty to someone. What is concerning is that some politicians are calling on the states to defy the supreme court's ruling. That is a lose, lose...

    Mark of the Beast

    Is the mark of the beast literal or spiritual? I think it is spiritual, notice how the same reference is used concerning the commandments. Did the Jews tie scrolls of the torah around their heads and strap them to their wrist? The command in Deut. 6:8 must have been symbolic. Revelation...

    Just a sign of how Lawlessness is becoming prevalent.

    Moratorium on New Gay Marriage Threads Lifted

    No doubt someone will want to discuss the latest SCOTUS ruling that has been made today in favor of gay marriage.
