I do believe this about Islam. I pray for Muslims for I know the Islamic penalty for apostasy is death. As a history buff, I know the 1400 year history of Islam qualifies it truly as the scourge of mankind. I believe the angel who came to Muhammad and told him to recite, write the Koran, is not...

Well honey, I aint talking about surpluses or deficits. I am talking about debt - the accumulation of all past deficits. I believe the last time we had a surplus, Teddy Roosevelt was President.

No. I did not fail a test because there was none. Both are true. Just because you did not say something, does not mean it is not true. No one will deny that Scripture must be rightly divided. I deny your implied claim that you - and only you - rightly divide Scripture.

I've stopped you from deflecting and stay on point. Big difference. You are the one who wouldn't let it go, who kept asserting an evil ideology is the same as an ideology that is not evil. Rather than concede, you are the one who kept deflecting. How all this connects to the OP is that if you...

Agreed. Not permitting a woman assume authority over a man probably already has more than one thread. They are not one in the way you want. That's why what Scripture actually says here sounds like they are not one. They are not one in the way you want. If they were one in the way you want...

@RLT63, can you field this one? God invented sex and animals are unrestrained. Moral humans are supposed to be monogamous, i.e., one man and one woman.

Agreed. Because we don't have a parlimentary system, but winner take all, it forces a polarizing 2-party system. In truth, there is one party, with a D-wing and an R-wing of the party. Proof is seen in the singular political issues I've had for nearly 4 decades, the debt. No matter who holds...

Yet, you make post after post, proving your interest. Capitalism & National Debt have nothing to do with the topic at hand. (Sounds like a good topic for another thread).

When reading with the wrong eyes? The verse of the sword is unqualified. There is no comparable unqualified verse in the NT. Waging war was in the OT - directed at peoples who no longer exist. The Koran is remarkably void of context. Like Psalms or Proverbs, one chapter really has nothing to...

There is no verse of the sword in Christianity. As a civlized nation, we must be more capable of violence than barbarians. However, you are comparing nation States to ideology AS IF it were equivalent. Not too many kill IN THE NAME OF JESUS. And this brings us to Godless States. Communism has...

Not to hijack the thread ... One of the most common errors with this is to confuse Muslims, who are people, with Islam, the evil ideology they have been indoctrinated into. A Muslim who is good is not a good Muslim. The more a person practices Christianity, the more peaceful they will be. The...

We all deserve hell. Why should atheists be any different? One of the most foolish things I've ever heard anyone say is that they are not at war with Islam. It doesn't change the fact that Islam is at war with you. Just because you do not believe in a certain part of reality, does not make it...

Perhaps but God sees. God made this world and although it is a fallen world, it is still beautiful and good in many ways. Sure, atheists can be good as far as the world is concerned. However, Jesus said only God is good. In addition, your concept of justice does not fully square with God's plan...

I recently came across this translation from Names of God Bible (NOG) - Version Information - BibleGateway.com VERSIONS / NAMES OF GOD BIBLE (NOG) Publisher: Baker Books Version Information The Names of God Bible (NOG) accurately translates the meaning of the original texts into clear...

Except he also called him his God. John 20:17, Rev 3:2 and in verse 12, Jesus referred to his God 4 times! To refer to your God 4 times in one verse is really saying something. It’s interesting that Jesus repeatedly referred to his God.

Says you. See @RLT63 post. Wonder where he got that or you already have your answer - in denying the verse AFTER he said he exists, where he explicitly identified his name. But our Creator did not end there. He went on to say this is the name he is to be remembered for all generations. It...

Not only are you taking it out of contex, you are adding words to Scripture. Jesus statement is unqualified. You are adding the qualifier, 'while He was on earth.' In addition, 1 COR 11:3 clearly says that God - in his entirety, in his unitarian nature - is the head of Christ. There is no...

Symbol v Metaphor?! Really! A common tactic of mystics, of those who over-spiritualize Scripture, is to parse synonyms. What does Scripture say about this? Avoid such foolish fights over words! 14 Remind everyone about these things, and command them in God’s presence to stop fighting over...

Hmmm. Not quite. 1st, he differentiated himself from other gods in being eternal. 2nd, the nature of the Creator’s existence, eternal, is not merely a label but a defining characteristic. This means, this is how the Creator is different from his creation. 3rd, we are not talking about the...

I asked a positive question; what is God’s name and what verse is it in? Your reply is negative; telling me what his name is NOT. I will say again that some translations do use the letter you deny. Odd to pile denial on top of denial.
