(Jackie D;42924) what is that? and why have you spoken to me this way, zail? What a very rude thing to say, and I have been nothing but forthright and polite to you...we all have a right to speak here, and that is all I was doing. If you are having an issue with someone finding that what you...

(Jackie D;42904) First and foremost, Christ said that there will BE division. This division could not happen without God's hand in it...secondly Christ states He did NOT come to bring peace but a sword...a sword to divide and separate Just because there will be division doesn't mean preaching...

(Letsgofishing;42901) This is how i think that the antichrist will appear at first, before the persecution of christians starts, nothing will be wrong about him, except for his fruits. However, what you originally said did have good fruits, regardless of the following arguments and your...

(Aleks_Kravchuk;42809) There was a song I heard (with music) about "HOLY HOLY THE LAMB OF GOD IS HOLY HOLY" Boy I have never heard a song that great! with music and words. It was like it came straight from God's throne. NOW THATS Christian music. ...BEWARE OF EVIL MUSIC! You know, there's a...

Thanks for responding Saint, I think I already agreed though... that the law no longer has anything to do with atonement, salvation, entering the Kingdom, justification, covering of sin, peace with God or any of "those terms" to describe what Christ fulfilled. Those debts have all been paid. I...

D.A., Hey bud. I'm sorry you've got so much pain in spite of what's been happening in your life. I've been through some similar situations. The Lord loves us beyond what we can comprehend and wants what's best for us. Maybe you know that, but sometimes He does things we don't like that keep us...

(Aleks_Kravchuk;42797) ...Lets put it with metal music. Look from the standpoint of God. Did He send it to you? or someone else? If it is someone else other than God, who is it? Metal music in itself is evil because it is sent not from God, but from the devil from hell itself. The reason of God...

Yeah, I have to agree with the "friends" approach. It IS awkward if you try to date someone at church and things don't work out. I have always regret doing that in the past. My wife and I now go to a chirch where a girl that I tried to date back in high school goes. Awkward. That was years...

(Keith;42655) I do agree, "Metal" itself is NOT evil. I apologize if that is how my post looked If you're referencing my post... I know you didn't imply metal is evil. I was writing because our buddy Aleks did.

How is metal music "evil?" Any music can have evil lyrics. Doesn't that make all music like "oil" just the same? So maybe there shouldn't be any "Christian" music... Ya know, there can be evil books too. Let's get rid of the written Bible. Otherwise we're just letting God's Word be another book...

(marksman;42507) the reason that we have the new is because we cannot keep the old bearng in mind that if you transgress one part of the law you transgress all of it. But the verse following the one you referenced, says that we should still "speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by...

Again, thanks Iam, for letting the Lord lead you to speak. I know that the words of God were spoken into my life through you, dispite what you confessed is "unpure". He uses whom He chooses to use. Thankfully He likes to use the weak to shame the strong... or somthing to that effect. The...

Good stuff. Thanks for being a vessel.

Wow, poor fella. I'll try to remember Billy when I pray again.

I know it's just fun to figure stuff out through Bible study, but I just want to make a point in case anyone involved in this thread is worried that they'll loose their salvation: I think the important question we each have to ask is: "How can I make sure that I get to be a part of God's Kingdom...

I'm amazed at God's creative powers. He built creation around the contrast of different features: light and dark, day and night, oceans and the atmosphere, dry earth and the watery seas, the moon and the sun, creatures in the sea and in the sky and on land, lesser beings and dominant mankind...

(forgivenWretch;41922) It really bothers me to see Christ removed from anything. We are to praise His name and i fail to see replacing His name with anything... Yeah... but "Christ" isn't His name, it's a title. Technically (as far as I know), using the hellenized Greek translations "Jesus...

I'm sorry. I guess I've just been raised in a culture that uses it casually. I didn't even think about it. The word only means "not good" to me. I don't know about other meanings or origins. Just an expression like "cool" to me. Sorry that it greatly bothers you. I won't use the word anymore...

I agree about salvation and grace. This isn't about that. I don't think there's any way around what Christ said: that if we break the Old Testament laws and teach that they should be broken, we're least in the kingdom and if we keep and teach them, we're great in the kingdom. Regardless of grace...

I totally agree with your concepts, just not your decisions. I guess it's okay though. Like you said, it's not really my business. However, I think scripture remains firm on us following the law... whatever the law actually is. But I'm just a broken record at this point. At any rate, when I...
