Here I thought this was going to be a thread on eating Kosher! ;)

Hey.... I wrote this!!!!

Countries invade other countries for their own self-interest.

Homosexuality is brought about by a conditioning and negative reinforcement at an early age. Babies are not sexually awakened at birth. The root of the sin of homosexuality is the sin of those who condition the child....a violent father could cause a young girl to see women as a refuge from the...

There is a teaching going around in Messianic circles that the New Jerusalem is for the Jewish bride of Christ. The Gentiles are also married to Jesus...but the bible is silent about this. The important thing is that the Israel of God is Jewish! :) ;(

Ignatius as well as Polycarp were disciples of John the apostle. We can benefit by their writings as this gives us a clearer view of a more "developed" Christianity. Where Overseers were being instituted in the NT writings...here we have these functions clearly entrenched...although assailed by...

The 12 thrones are for the twelve apostles. They are all Jewish in origin. So is the New Jerusalem with it's 12 gates. This is the Bride of Christ. The saints rule over the nations during the millenium. This is per their learning to rule with Christ throughout eternity. Those same nations will...

You haven't heard that there are now 2 different brides of Christ? ;)

You are not answering my posts and the scriptures you asked me for. You ignore what doesn't fit into your scheme. Is conversation with you pointless? It is usual for people to accuse others of what they do themselves... We are to keep ourselves pure from sins of spirit, soul and body. If I...

The truth is contained in ALL the scriptures not just he ones we make "our" doctrine on. The bible is meant to be understood as a whole...not just cobble together a theory based on a few verses taken out of context. The tax collector went home justified THAT day because he was humble. Richard...

In a war it's not who's right who wins but who's left! ;)

Sanctification is instantaneous since He is faithful to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness...not just a persentage of untighteousness. What takes time is to learn to fix our affections on the thinks of God...not this world. So we need to learn character. This character refuses to seek the...

I'm just asking. It is our attitude that is important. The New Testament is in the heart not the head. :)

LOL I thought that was a syndorme!! :) Agreed! God fits into no man's straitjacket!

Vashti, you said... This is unfortunate because the Christian walk IS this "magical power" that flows from God to the child of God. It is important to not try to interpret the bible by what we have experienced up to this time. The bible is not a "do it yourself" book of things you can try in...

Unless you are talking about kayaking or some other pastime...biblically one is born again from above by the will of the Father. Are we born again by our own choice or by being accepted into the family of God through HIS intervention? Terminology apart....they are biblically the same. One is...

How is sin avoided...human effort? Does Christianity have to do with our best efforts?

Every way of man is right in his own eyes.

One can only be born anew after a death. Death means separation from what we once were. It is not a reform of the old nature like we see in " a Christmas carol". That is certainly a repentance and a change....but this was the type of conversion we see in the OT. It certainly makes one turn from...

Rather than say how you read the words of the bible you just say rubbish? Saying things like that both avoids a real conversation and puts a bad light on you being able to comment on the bible at all.
