And not withstanding my previous comments regarding ORU, it would be difficult to reject outright the possibility of bias.

Well, that I knew what ORU stood for suggests a certain familiarity. Apology accepted.

My comment wasn't intended to be denigrating. Just a matter of fact.

Fair enough.

I am well aware of who Oral Roberts is... Or was. When I first received Jesus in the 70s and joined the AoG Oral Roberts was the bee's knees, along with Kenneth Copeland and a few others, and everyone including myself, had his books and cassette tapes. I am sure that many people came to know...

I come from NZ, now a very left wing led country that seemed to be in a race with the Australian state where I now live, Victoria, as to who would legislate the most extreme liberal policies and how soon. I've never been to America, so everything I know about the US is second hand, through...

That such a study was done at Oral Roberts University doesn't come as a surprise.

Heard this believe it or not in the supermarket the other day...

Revelation. It's exactly that. If you allow scripture to interpret scripture, and avoid interpreting scripture by what you see, then it ceases to be a mystery. Good didn't have John present it in order to confuse. It's in the bible for the sole purpose of encouraging the church and offering His...

Shocking but true. Everything was designed and ordained for life. Hence the tree of life. Death is an enemy. And in the end, it will be destroyed along with sin and sinners. Death is a foreign invader and totally incompatible with God's universe. KJV Genesis 1:29-31 29 And God said, Behold, I...

Because the God I know would create anything that relief on death in order to survive.

Various people over the centuries have written tomes on Revelation, most of them markedly different from each other in numerous aspects, and you ask for a few paragraphs lol? You got a few paragraphs, more or less, and like the tomes of the past, they all differ, perhaps with the exception of...

What do you mean, "are you done now"? Seems a strange response when you don't address the actual point I was making in the post. I guess if you don't have an answer to the principle presented... That death was the result of the sin of Adam... And therefore nothing died, including dinosaurs...

Sorry, but that's a cop out. @marks testified to being miraculously healed. Now either he was, or he wasn't. You either believe him, or you don't. By your response I take it you don't believe him. Why not? Do you think he was lying, mistaken and he's still sick, or his healing was not miraculous...

Ain't that the truth. I've been to one or two of my church's congregations to which I shall never return. Such incongruence however shall never persuade me against the basic Godly foundation my church was built on.

Theistic evolution denigrates God. It has God creating a system that relies on death, suffering, trial and error and chance and human evolving from primitive species to today. Whether we are more or less primitive is debatable. Theistic evolution has God creating a system whereby the animal...

Listen to what I'm saying. Death came as a result of sin. Creation... The whole of creation... Suffered because of of Adams fall. Good created everything perfect wherein there was no disease, death, and food was by the way of plants... Not predatory destruction.

KJV 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor...

That is a terrible translation whereby the verse that says Jesus was ordained, appointed, determined, to fulfill a specific ministry as part of His obedient submission to His Father, is twisted to suggest He was selected as one among many candidates.. And we can only apply ourselves to that one...

In 457 BC, a decree was granted to Ezra by the Persian emperor Artaxerxes Longimanus to go up to Jerusalem with as many of his people as were minded to go with him. The commission granted him an unlimited amount of treasure, to beautify the house of God, to procure offerings for its...
