It is instructed that we should do so: 1 Timothy 2:1 I would also refer to the parable of the persistent widow: Luke 18:1-8. Then think about how much more annoying a bunch of people can be. There is also the humility and faith that comes from asking. It is possible that God wishes to first...

If these ideals define a classical liberal, by what perversion do we arrive at modern liberalism? 1. Liberty -> Entitlement 2. Individualism -> Collectivism 3. Skepticism About Power -> Hypocrisy about Power 4. Rule of Law -> Popular Opinion 5. Civil Society -> Nanny state 6. Spontaneous Order...

The commandments were meant for a people without the indwelling Spirit of God. I don't see it as profitable to delve into this topic legalistically. However I would go as far as to categorize some of them. Many of the commandments had spiritual undertones, such as those against murder...

I had assumed this meant being able to tell the motives behind someone's actions or words to see if they were from God, and therefore truthful. Then I heard from one of the Pentecostal types that the gift of discerning of spirits is the ability to see manifestations of spiritual beings, such as...

I'm thinking that the Holy Spirit did choose a good leader that day, but perhaps not the apostle they were asking for. They wouldn't have expected that the candidates should include a witness to Jesus after the resurrection, whom was persecuting them at the time. God isn't obligated to correct...

Thank you for the responses. Interesting point. I saw Paul as a great man because we hear so much of his exploits, but Barnabas was there with him through much of it. Greatness does not always require fame where God is concerned. Jesus would speak against Pharisees who sought recognition...

I also believe trust is also the same as faith. Trust is also a very important part of any relationship.

I would likely study what I viewed as incorrect theories and devote much time to debunking it. If I found something I would publish papers attacking these theories in the hope that it would shake the faith of the naturalists. Much the same way that Samson brought down the philistine temple...

So this topic concerns the persecution of creationists in the academic community? Careful when you don't give directions, the driver may take a detour :P Some people look at science as a sort of one stop shop for the truth concerning all things. When science doesn't have an answer the...

This is my first post here, so I’ll make it something thought provoking as a first impression. My question is based on the idea that God is eternal and timeless. I think the following scriptures support this concept: Psalm 90:4; 2 Peter 3:8; Psalm 102:12; Psalm 102:24-27; Isaiah 57:15; Psalm...
