Sound's just like Judaism to me.

I'll do better than that. Here's our Lord Jesus... John 2:13-16 13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, 14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: 15 And when He had made a scourge of small cords, He...

It's the duty of those whom our LORD calls in that office by The Holy Spirit. Not all believers are called for that duty. Apostle Paul was called to fill the offices of a pastor (teacher) and evangelist (preach The Gospel), as he was overseer of the Churches. But today most evangelists and...

The problem with the Greek words in the NT for soul and spirit, is that the context of their usage at times overlaps, revealing the translators often weren't sure how the difference between pneuma and psuche was really meant. Yet Hebrews 4:12 makes a distinction between the two revealing at the...

In reality, the dogmatists are those who hold to ideas like we literally sleep in the dust, when that's an expression for death of our flesh body. Our soul continues after flesh death, even as written... Matt 10:28 28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but...

You don't realize how wrong you are in looking at the USA in that way; same with any of the western Christian nations. Just because Christ's enemies have crept in and God has allowed it for His greater Purpose doesn't mean we are not still His people. Even for Christ's disciples when He told...

Because they believed that, that apparently was why Jesus tried to show them about the reality of life after death. Luke 20:37-38 37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38 For...

I certainly won't attack you for it! I believe The Holy Spirit is still... active in Christ's Body today, and healings by The Holy Spirit still happen too. What I don't believe is from The Spirit though, are things like the laughing Church, confusion that some claim is of The Holy Spirit. And I...

I voted no, the reason being that we should vote our conscious, and be careful of joining cults of politicians. Lot of the time politicians ride the fence with the idealism they claim to stand for. Giving blind support for any political party often means accepting whatever the party platform is...

Have any of you received a new form from you medical insurance provider mentioning changes put into effect per Obama's health care plan instituted March 2010? I got a form that gives specifics of how a dependent on my insurance cannot be taken off it until they are 26 years old.

Yes, I agree, the U.N. often operate against... Israel, even in Lebanon a couple of years ago, right, remember? Israel had to move back to their borders. Why? Because of the U.N. agreements made a long time ago establishing Israel's borders. 28 member nations of the U.N. participated in the Gulf...

You're guilty of Absolutism, treating every occurance in the Old Testament of 'mashiyach' (anointed; Messiah in Dan.9) to mean only someone other than Jesus Christ. Your whole crazy basis is to treat that word to mean all others except Christ, disregarding Scripture context. When God called...

Sometimes God punishes our enemies through war, and it's usually after the attack of Christ's enemies upon His people. Or do you think we should have sat back and done nothing after radical Islamic terrorists attacked the twin towers twice, killing many with their second attack? When our Lord...

Sorry if I step on feelings of others who hold to a Pre-trib rapture, but that's actually the basis of the doctrine Richard is coming from. Folks like C.R. Stam in the 1940's started the Hyper-Dispensationalist ideas of twin Gospels and only Paul's Epistles as support for the Pre-trib rapture...

James, Paul, Peter, and especially our Lord Jesus, all kept the ideas of 'grace by faith' and 'works' as separate things, with bearing 'fruit' as a product of grace by Faith. It's how like Rach said in post #25. Looking carefully at what James was teaching was how as Christian believers that...

First and foremost, The House of God is for worshipping Him and learning His Word with understanding. A lot of things done in some Churches get away from that. It was the priests duty to stand up and read the meaning of The Word of God to the congregation. The people then didn't have the...

Now, now Logabe, you know that's not true what you say about me. You're bearing false witness when you suggest that I ever condemned anyone to hell, regardless of whether they agree with me or not. None of us have the authority to sentence anyone to hell. But we can... warn if someone is in...

The Pharisees tried to entrap Jesus with asking whether we are to pay taxes or not. Christ said to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what belongs to God. So it means yes, we as Christians are to pay taxes.

I think you are a true Christian Josant, that is if you believe on The Father through His Son Jesus Christ as written. Otherwise you would not have had the humility to admit that you didn't really feel that you are a true Christian. A true Christian is always in a state of striving to follow...

So let's look at the skewed reasoning in that article... Pretty clear that the guy treats war as those other things in his comparison, but is that really true about God's people per history? No sane Christian believer wants war. But it's sometimes necessary, otherwise Christ's enemies...
