As I understand the gap theory, it is not about taking more than six days to create all things. The gap theory is about a gap of time in which the earth was formless and void.. then God created all things. The gap of time was between the creation of the earth that had full complete life, then...

There is a difference between sending to hell and putting in hell. God sent Jesus to be Savior of the world. God sent because Jesus was willing to do God's will. But God putting sinners in hell where the wicked belong is because men cannot do it. As the police must capture criminals and put...

You are talking about the believer making a choice then. That in a time of increased lawlessness the believer is low on ability to endure, so they give up before the end.. therefore he does not reach that moment of being saved. Has it been established yet what "the end" is.. and what "being...

Even so, all that it takes is to be willing to keep the two great commandments, to love God, and love our neighbors as ourselves. That takes a willingness to be disciplined, to change one's former behavior patterns and way of thinking. And that takes indepth time in God's word in order to be and...

I agree that these things would apply concerning the OSAS argument. It's important for every believer to be rooted and grounded in the love of God, it's important to keep God's word and thereby the love of God is perfected in that person.. being so established in faith so as to not be moved away...

Daniel 12:11-12 (11) And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. (12) Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. The...

Sure, no problem. :)

You haven't clearly identified the problem that you see. I am Christian so of course I'd say what I said, using quotes from the Judeo-Christian Bible. Those of other religions can say what they believe. I actually wouldn't see any problem either way. I said that God is found by believing the...

I don't know McArthur. There are a number of scriptures that indicate that the church/present body of Christ will not go through the tribulation. Here are a few. The apostle Paul wrote in 2 Thes.2:6-8 that the restrainer must be taken out of the way before the lawless one/antichrist is...

The scripture states, To those who seek Me, they shall find me. I'd suggest that a seeker start with having settled the issue before they begin. Seeking requires the exercise of faith. To genuinely seek, they'd have to be believing what they read of the Bible. If it helps, have them read of...

And, of course, the experiment also fails because they had to manipulate the genes in order to try to prove their point, which violates the whole idea of them being born that way without manipulation. Their trust in science (manipulated) to support their theories is another example of their...

For such reasons I am glad that updated versions of the Bible had been printed to reflect the contemporary language changes. :) While I'm at it, here's another case of wrong thinking that also occurred in Psalm 23 where it says, "He makes me to lie down in green pastures." I thought that it was...

The hummingbird is an interesting bird. In some similarity to the bees with their fast moving wings.. making honey out of regurgitated flower pollen..yummy.

This is not meant to offend, if it does then I apologize. I have read it for myself. The conclusions that you came to are not like mine. The early church of the new testament, before Catholics came to power, taught and practiced church attendance on the first day of the week. So your statements...

When I was a kid hearing that in church, I thought that it was saying that I shall not want the LORD my Shepherd. Interesting how the choice of words can cause a misunderstanding like that for a kid who knows what "I shall not want" means.. like, a bite of shrimp I shall not want. It took a...

The question is misleading. Homosexuality is not from birth in that there are those who've discovered that they are gay, or that they decide that they want to be. However, in a hypothetical world that was void of homosexual behavior.. would anyone have that inclination to behave that way? Would...

The atheist is emotion based when they speak in an academic manner to express why they don't believe that there is a God. The agnostic is more relaxed with their unbelief, willing to admit that they don't know everything. The atheist is convinced that they do know everything. Yet, if they did...

This matter of arresting a store owner because they have a policy on what to provide for who, is the injustice of government dictating business policies. And the injustice of the Constitution that guarantees freedom of practicing religion. What would happen to the policies of businesses that do...

You said, "Now if God never changes they should all be exactly the same word for word, no chance of argument, wouldn't you think, but like I said, show me a christian that believes God." If God never changes, then everyone in the world would be speaking only Hebrew.. the only existing language...

Thank you both for a wonderful welcome! :D I was looking around a bit and I didn't see, so I'm asking.. Where is the best place to ask for understanding of scriptures.. what a particular verse might mean? Is "the Bible study forum" the place? Thanks for those who read and give answer to this...
