- According to God's statements at Gen 1:3-5 and Gen 1:14-18, Day is defined as when the sun is up, and Night is defined as when the sun is down. If people are unable to accept God's statements; then I should think that they would at least be willing to accept Christ's as to the definitions of...

- If I'm reading Rom 1:18-32 correctly: national approval of LGBT marriages is itself a judgment. In other words: when God stands by and does nothing to discourage a nation from approving LGBT marriages, it's an indication that He's given them over to it. Exactly why God decided to give the USA...

- Well; I did like you said and checked with all four gospels. I found that none of them say that the women "arrived" in the dark. It looks to me like they left home during the final moments of morning twilight, and by the time they got out to the cemetery, twilight was over and the sun was up...

- "In God We Trust" became the USA's official motto in 1956 and was printed on American currency beginning in 1957. That motto is way overdue to be removed because I seriously doubt there are enough people in the USA trusting in God anymore to justify its use. I'd even go so far as to say that...

- †. Matt 22:41-46 . . Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question; saying: What do you think about the Christ, whose son is he? They said to him: The son of David. He said to them: Then how does David in the Spirit call him "Lord" saying: The Lord said to my...

- Q: Does the Bible say how to obtain the divine nature about which Peter wrote? A: Yes; actually the New Testament has quite a bit to say about obtaining the divine nature; however it's easy to miss because its described with different words. Human nature is the essence of human life. In like...

- I should probably clarify that statement a little. †. 1Pet 1:22a . . Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit The grammatical tense of the words "have purified" is past rather than future. So it isn't "when" you purify your souls. In other words, the souls...

- Paul's prayer contains a time element. In other words, it only applies up to the time of the rapture; and even then it only applies to people who are alive when the rapture takes place. The folk to whom Paul panned his letter are long gone so his prayer no longer applies to them. According...

- Back in 1968, when I was a young single guy around 24 years old and living in a cheap, one-room basement apartment in Oregon, and working as a welder in a structural shop located in the old Kaiser ship yards across the Columbia river in Vancouver, I had lots of time to myself to think about...

- One of the most common forms of dishonesty is one called dissembling; which can be defined as concealing your true feelings by deliberately giving people the impression that you feel some other way. Other forms of dishonesty are: Deception Side-stepping Denial Guile Half truths Making...

- Q: Can Christians lose their salvation by dishonesty? A: The question cannot be answered as-is because not all Christians are safe from the wrath of God; viz: not all Christians are saved. The short answer is: No; according to John 3:14-18, John 5:24, Rom 5:6 11, 1Thss 1:10, and 1Thss 5:9...

- You shall not deal falsely, nor lie to one another. (Lev 19:11) There are six things Yhvh hates; seven that are detestable to Him: #2 a lying tongue, and #6 a false witness who pours out lies. (Prv 6:16-19) Lie not one to another (Col 3:9) All liars, their part will be in the lake that...

- FYI: "the church" isn't the Roman Catholic Church, nor any other specific denomination. Christ's church is defined by John 5:24. "I assure you: those who listen to my message, and believe in God who sent me, have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have...

- †. 1Pet 3:15 . . Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. If someone were to walk up and ask me how to become a Christian, I would first of all tell them about an incident that occurred in Israel's history many, many years...

- Though Judas was one of Christ's hand-picked followers, he was never one of Christ's believing followers; but was, in point of fact, described as "the son of perdition" (John 17:12). It's sad that you would actually try to invalidate the holy apostle Paul by citing a pre-condemned to hell...
