Thank you! It is always dangerous to base a doctrine on a single verse or parable. That's the reason I give so many verses backing my words. Let me ask you some questions... 1) Where else, throughout the entirety of the bible, is Abraham's Bosum mentioned? For if the several scriptures I...

I suspect we’re pretty much all adults here. And I know we’re all familiar with the ‘Facts of Life’, right? But what do we know about the “Facts of Death”? Well then, let’s see what the Bible can tell about these things. And first among all those things, the Number one, topmost thing with...

If then, we as Christians are actually being participants, being active parties to and in the death of our Lord on the cross; Are we any the less participants in His burial and resurrection? That just as the Lord's supper is effective, efficacious and active in us (being as real as our faith...

At first blush, one would think the answer to the OP's question would be "The Holy Spirit"...should always be the arbitrator between differing views of scripture (or anything else for that matter). But there is a very definite problem here, for it is a truth that, "And the spirits of the...

I find in my own life (as does my Wife), that God is faithful to fulfill His Word. However, we've learned, over the course of a 45 year marriage, to meet God halfway. In other words, we don't expect God to provide for us financially...unless we give. So while God supports, we both work jobs. We...
