A lot of it is true observation from an outside perspective. Boy, how things can go wrong with that. Some of it is true and has been going on for several centuries.....and here we are still alive and kicking. Glad you do not look at Christ's return as gloom and doom. After all He went through...

Hidden Agenda's can be referred to as hidden history. The behind the scenes activities that has been going on ever since the first organized government. Which means that the words covert and conspiracy are near synonyms. I am interested in conspiracy theories for several reasons. One of them is...

↑ You and I are going to sin, Not necessarily. btw, the doctrine of the inevitability of sin is a false doctrine and heresy. lol Not sure where you are going with this, but I will play along. If you remain sinless long enough we can build you an altar. Do you want it up on the mountain and do...

@Willie T @epostle Willie T, I think you understand but you're just are not telling. But there is no mystery. It is natural to look back on history and criticize. Polygamy was part of the Israelite culture. Mosaic Law governed it. God took credit for David's wives. The number of sons that a man...

Kool beans....hope all is well with you. The point of my little questionnaire there...As they say, "keep it simple."

Hey there JBF, excellent points! The sinner friends of Christ we are. lol You and I, and everyone on this forum "committeth sin" should we plan a barbecue? Should we give up! Is all lost? "He that committeth sin is of the devil" Are we friends of Christ or friends of the devil? What is the...

Thanks for responding. There are a few on the forum that dabble with ancient languages. You should spend a little time up at The Center for Hellenic Studies. Depending on the timing they have some pretty interesting guest speakers. I am saying this with a smile on my face and humor...the whole...

Our judgment is just because the Father and Christ are with us in the judgment. Thanks JBF...You probably need to expand upon that, but you know what, I think that might be an interesting thread. Any Christian concept, belief, or doctrine should be put in motion to see if it makes any sense. Is...
