I didn't say anything about "moral depravity (evil)", I just quoted the scriptures. But it is obvious, since you mention it, that it is you who have imagined the words to mean something more than is written. But you are not allowing for God to be in control of all things, even evil: "Then...

Your reaction was pretty telltale. No one wants to think that of God, that he would give his power to evil men also. But whether you look at the news or the scriptures, it is obvious that he does: Isaiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do...

I know, I know...it doesn't set well, but see post #56 And... Isaiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things."

Nice, thanks for that!

Watering will cause both a good plant or a poisonous plant to grow. Likewise, power (or spirit) supercharging evil or good in ("all") the world, is all the more evil or good.

Your emotions apparently have you blinded from being able to perceive that "all" means all. For the context is both good and evil, it is judgement both for Israel, as well as against those who are against her.

God is no respecter of persons...but that does not mean we should not be. On the contrary, we are to honor mother and father, and those in authority. I should think it begins at home...parents not respecting each other, and showing little or no respect for bosses and public figures. Kids pick...

There is only one right agenda for education...and it should be unbiased. Students should not be lead or taught to lean one way or the other, but rather to be able to formulate their own questions, and answer them for themselves.

1“These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble. 2 They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. 3 And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me. 4...

By these questions, you have entered the area of spiritual nuance and the tertiary things of God. "A house divided will fall." If the Son divides a house...or cuts the temple of a man "in two"...it/he will fall. But the greatest thing to understand about these passages, is that the Lord has...

Yes..., No in that context. But the context is misunderstood. In the context that Christ was speaking...not the world, but the Jews specifically, would not see Him again until they would see Him "coming in the clouds of heaven" - meaning, in the spirit. This is what is meant by "coming in the...

Your comment has the stench of rivalry or disdain. Nonetheless, the fact that these things were always so, was not my point - but thanks for raising the bar. My point - and then hopefully, there will be time for yours - was "However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward...

The point being... Why are so many during this day and age not on board with these spiritual times? Ephesians 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." Jesus was the Last of the...

Exactly. What I have been telling you, I do not "believe", but know for a fact. You have refused the hand of help with a conditional attitude not becoming of someone in need. Do you really think that refusing God on his own terms, is not an offense? It is. Again...I am not not tolerating...

I have never told you what I "believe." You had questions. I gave you the facts from God. If you have not figured out His M.O., that's it: Individuals of His choosing declare the truth when it is given. No, it is disrespect, and rejection, that is "not tolerated long." We don't need it or want...

"Doctrine" is wrong too. The point is, you are lumping all claims into the same category, not because there is not enough evidence, but because you have made your own terms for God like a tail expecting to way the dog. Those are self-imposed limitations. You are cheating yourself. And you are...

If one cannot reconcile BOTH of these verses...there is no point to be made. To claim only one of them as fact, is not a statement of fact, but an admitted lack of knowledge. There is an answer...but pointing to would-be contradictions from God, as if that were even possible...is not a good...

This seems to be the pet issue of many atheists. But for you it is a cop out, because you have heard the answer. But for the sake of others I will elaborate: If you ask the same question of 100 different people who witnessed the same event, you [know] you will get 100 different answers. The...

No...that would only be true if I did not explain. But I did explain. No..."theology" is theory. What I just explained is not theory. But you have a prejudice. You "believe" that just because there is a great amount of untruth in the world, that the truth is just another "different" theory or...

You "expect" what you don't understand. God is the greatest most complex master of creation, design, and development...and little old you are judging Him on his methods. I will say it again - things don't work that way. How many times do you need to be told? Nonetheless, I will also explain...
