    Islamic community NOT allowed!

    And rather that religion be a Christian church established by the king of england. Or by local leadership trying to establish Islamic government, it would not be allowed under the constitution.

    The Four Stages of Mankind's Redemption:

    Ezekiel 37:26 KJV "Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore." Peace with who, first and foremost peace with God. Romans 5:1 Multiply...

    Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

    If I am "commanded" to love you (brother/sister), what is it you think my love is commanded to be? (dreaming?)

    How we want to be loved doesn't change as a result of becoming a believer. How and why we love others changes. Loving in a self sacrificing way, giving of ourselves without expecting something in return. This is the love of the believer, a love like God's love for us.

    More on the deity of Christ

    Jesus wasn't dead yet when he called out: "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" But even though you misunderstood my point, going of on a tangent about the afterlife.

    Zelenskyy wants nuclear bombs and NATO membership, remains defiant and says he does not owe an apology to the US and Trump

    I'm not sure if Ukraine would have had the technical ability to maintain them. Wouldn't be able to count on Russia to keep them from becoming duds over the years.

    CALEXIT, California wants to leave US

    The south wasn't permitted to leave the union, neither would California be permitted.

    More on the deity of Christ

    I believe Psalm 103:12 "As far as the east is from the west, So far hath he removed our transgressions from us." So we have a God who can forgive and forget sins yet he is omniscient. Its a variation of the old paradox, can an omnipotent God make a rock so big he can't lift it? Can God who...

    More on the deity of Christ

    Yes Habakkuk 1:13 that sounds right. I also see no conflict with Spurgeon position. It could be explained by selective awareness, like God has his back turned.

    No more slave to sin

    The entire Bible is the inspired word of God. Meaning it came from the Spirit of God. The red letters showing the words from Jesus' mouth are not any more true.

    Islamic community NOT allowed!

    I don't know how a local government could uphold religious law without violating the the separation of church and state in the establishment and free exercise clauses of the constitution.

    You shouldn't have a problem with the word if you hear from God.

    No more slave to sin

    Matters are established by two or three witnesses. If what you hear is from God it will agree with the word. If the new you is born of the Spirit it needs spiritual sustinemce. The manna from heaven, the word of God. Your obsession would be to consume every word of the bible. How does it...

    More on the deity of Christ

    Jesus had a special relationship with the Father, it was that relationship which was temporarily severed on the cross when Jesus took on our sins. The father can not look on sin. Jesus' nature was unchanged, he was still divine. For we who are evil it may not seem alarming when God is silent.

    No more slave to sin

    Christians do not often disagree about what scriptures are from God. But people can look at the same scripture and see different meanings to the same words.

    How many worlds filled with people has God made?

    The descendants of the serpent refer to all people who are spiritual descendents of Satan. They are all who have not been born again of the Spirit of God. Those born again are God's spiritual descendants. There are only two sides to this war. Most are not possessed by Satan, but are more...

    How many worlds filled with people has God made?

    Satan is more intelligent and crafty than any of us humans. He knows the scriptures and he knows his days are numbered. There is no reason to teach him. You will not change him, and his fate is sealed. To think otherwise is pure arrogance. It should be clear that the scriptures were speaking...

    No more slave to sin

    I believe Jesus was born with the Holy Spirit. Jesus was baptized not for the forgiveness of sins because he had none. Rather It was necessary to fulfill this rite to make him a priest. As all priests took a ceremonial dip.

    If I am "commanded" to love you (brother/sister), what is it you think my love is commanded to be? (dreaming?)

    Think about what is beneficial to someone in the long term. And what you can do to help them to grow. This can be very nuanced. People are three part beings and the best thing we can do is lead them to Jesus Christ so that they may be born again spiritually. There are physical needs...
