Not sure I follow that whirlwind. Sounds like you might be speaking of the ancient concept some called the 'andronyn' (one body with both sexual organs). The Hebrew between Gen.1:26-27 and Gen.2:7 with the word for 'aadam' is specific. In Gen.1:26-27, two cases for 'man' appear. One is eth ha...

Fine, and I'll give a set of counter-statements to yours with a letter, to show conclusions I've reached about your proposed theories. God blessed even those not of His chosen that did righteousness. But He passed judgment upon peoples that rebelled against Him, especially those who tried to...

I got your original point alright, that of your trying to 'insert' an idea (end jusfifies the means) into the reading of God's Word that is not there, the very... thing you accuse me of doing in one of your later statements below. [/font][/size] Yes, it is serious. Now you sound like you...

I disagree totally with your premise from the outset. And I base that especially upon that list of OT event interpretations you gave in a previous post. They don't show comprehension from a "surface reading" of those events, simply because the Scripture includes what led to the events and why...

In reality, the monarchs already existed. And some of them were bad leaders and some of them good. Afterall, God warned His people long ago of what would happen for their wanting a flesh king when He is their King. They would be oppressed, and so it has been. But not all monarchies have been...

Aspen, that's all a very seemingly logical explanation, but a major component is missing. And that is with those who follow doctrines outside The Bible that cannot be derived from exegesis using common sense. For example, how can God be seen as blessing David for a sin like murder which you...

Well, the Protestant Reformation was about a lot more than disagreeing with ritual practice by the Catholic Church. Those in Rome were feeding theirselves very well while many of the people were starving. And still, the people were prey by the authorities in Rome who wanted to erect more great...

Sounds like the exact principles Leftist-Socialists use. When they are proven wrong, they resort to name calling and slander, like little children who will do anything to get their way. And the Leftist-Socialists do make some really wild and outrageous claims while disregarding the facts. And...

I don't think you are advocating any such idea, but based on your understanding of Old Testament history further below, how can we be sure? Yet others that may not have understood how it is used by Christ's enemies, now are made aware. God's Word does not teach the principle of 'the end...

I'm not so sure about some of that reasoning. If we follow The Father and His Son the best we can, that's still not going to change prophecy of what God shows for the latter days. Why would He take time to forewarn us what will happen in the latter days? So we would know, and prepare for it, and...

I apologize then. Thanks for clarifying. I agree, our Lord did show us 'how' to plough the soil in prep for the seed (see end of Isaiah 28). Isa 28:23-29 23 Give ye ear, and hear My voice; hearken, and hear My speech. 24 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods...

Realize what you're saying, but the idea of 'the ends justifies the means' is a dangerous idealism that can destroy one's soul. I'll use a Biblical principle our Lord Jesus taught to show what I mean. Our Lord Jesus commanded His servants to let their light shine before men, so they may see...

God's Word reveals there's only two dimensions of existence, this earthly one, and the heavenly one. We also know from God's Word that angels have appeared on earth to flesh people (the two angels at Sodom and Gomorrah for example; the sodomites saw them as young men). So if one believes...

So this question is not about events in the lives of God's elect showing at times He intervened with His Will upon them? What about Jonah who tried to kill himself so as to not do God's Will of preaching to the city of Nineveh? God caused a great fish to spit Jonah upon the shores of Nineveh...

Sorry Aspen, I've still got to challenge you on that idea. The doctrines of Christianity are NOT from the Jew's religion of Judaism. The Jew's religiion persecuted Christ's disciples. Why? Because the Jew's religion (Judaism) is against The Gospel of Jesus Christ. How can one claim to be a...

It's amazing what Quigley revealed in his book Tragedy and Hope. That's why he said later his book must have said something the "establishment" didn't want known, since he had to sue his publisher to find out why they quit publishing his book. His book revealed answers to questions I think many...

I'll scrap you're first statement... now back to the point... Supposing Rev.12:12 is about a 'rapture' of the saints changes the whole Message of those given events, which is not how to understand Truth from God's Word. Rev 12:9-13 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent...

I prefer the western European account that Jesus may have visited Britain with His uncle Joseph of Arimathea. There's an ancient legend in Britain that called him Joseph the Tin Man, because Joseph was a trader in ores, and Britain was reknown in that time for its ores. That makes more sense...

Hepburn, so you are not a Christian, it would appear. True Christians are some of the most forgiving and peace-loving peoples on the earth. Problem is, how many true Christians are there? And how often are they unmercily attacked by non-Christians? Am I now being "pushy" because I say these...

I don't know where you've gotten such an idea from, that the Old Testament is full of examples of God's people having "duped" anyone. That type of thinking does not come from The Bible examples themselves, but from man's thinking, even pagan thought. The OT show examples of unjust men and women...
