    Caucasian Americans: A Dying Race?

    There's plenty of places where Caucasian culture is still dominate, such as everywhere outside major cities and in wealthy areas.

    Tefillin, the Command to Bind the Words of God on the Forehead and Hand

    Writing God's Word on paper and strapping it to your forehead does not make you holy. The Word of God must be living in your heart, and you must obey it. This is why God put the tablets of stone in the Ark of the Covenant. It was a picture of how God's Word would come to live in our hearts...

    Jesus Missing in Revelation

    I've never read so much English that made such little sense.

    THE APOSTLES DID NOT ALL PREACH THE SAME GOSPEL

    I don't understand why people want to make Paul's Gospel unique to Paul. Jesus Christ and Peter taught the same Gospel as Paul. Even Christ in the Gentiles was first revealed to Peter, not Paul. There is only One Faith and it's in the only Gospel that exists.... namely Christ died for sins...

    What are your thoughts on end times fiction?

    I've never read either series, but if you like Christian fiction, especially Christian fantasy, you should check out The Circle by Ted Dekker. It's a series of 4 books (Black, Red, White, Green) that can be purchased in a single volume (https://www.amazon.com/Circle-Ted-Dekker/dp/1595547924)...

    Tefillin, the Command to Bind the Words of God on the Forehead and Hand

    I'm glad I'm in the New Covenant, where the Holy Spirit writes God's Words directly on my heart.

    A Simple Overview of Revelation

    The same Spirit that speaks the Word, also gives the Vision.

    A Simple Overview of Revelation

    A sword has two sides, just like the tongue. When possessed by the Holy Spirit, it flicks around with power, like a flame of fire or a expert swordsman. Jesus' Tongue will slay the Multitudes of the Beast. It's more powerful than a literal sword. It's the literal Sword of the Spirit.

    The Fulfillment of the Seven Seals of Revelation

    Thanks for sharing. I recently wondered how far we are into the 7 seals/7 Trumpets/7 bowls because God opened my eyes once and I saw the white horses of the 1st seal trampling the clouds, heading from east to west across the sky, so I have since believed that at least Seal #1 has already been...

    A Simple Overview of Revelation

    When His Tongue comes out of His mouth as a sword and kills all the followers of the Anti-Christ, you will understand the Sword of the Spirit.

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    Don't you know that not every baby who was circumcised was Born from Above? Not everyone who passed thru the Red Sea was a Child of God. Or do you think as the Pharisees of Paul's day that anyone who has their foreskin removed has been circumcised in the heart and has God as their Father? No...

    A Simple Overview of Revelation

    It's not really whatever I say at all. It's whatever the Scriptures say. And the Scriptures say the Prophets and Apostles saw the Throne and saw God seated on it. To say God is seated on His throne is not limiting God.... a spirit can be seated in Heaven and in our hearts on earth at the same...

    A Simple Overview of Revelation

    I disagree. Ezekiel, Daniel, and John the Revelator all saw the Throne of God and saw God SEATED on it. If they saw it, it's not merely symbolic. Revelation 4:2-10 Isaiah 6:1-5 Daniel 7:9-10 Ezekiel 1:26 Revelation 5:1

    How do we attain unity?

    Unity is a spiritual state of mutual maturity and agreement. When we all preach the same Gospel, we can all have the same One Faith in that Gospel. Then we can all receive the One Spirit from the One Lord and all be members of One Body, having received the One Baptism from Jesus Christ. Then...

    BEFORE OR AFTER THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD

    You're trying to make 2 Gospels out of 1. The Gospel of the Kingdom and the Gospel of the Grace of God are the same Gospel.... the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If there are 2 Gospels, there are also 2 Faiths of believing those Gospels. But we know the Spirit expressly says there is only "One...

    TWO GOSPELS PREACHED

    No. Peter is not preaching another Gospel (one of baptism). By the time Peter preached the words in Acts 2:38, he had ALREADY preached the Cross of Jesus Christ to them in Acts 2:23-24. Peter was preaching the same Gospel Jesus Christ and Paul preached.... Faith in the Death, burial, and...

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    The problem with most who are debating Onesess vs Trinitarianism vs Tritheism is that the Godhead is like a 3-dimentional God trying to be described by a 2-dimensional man. Unless God open their eyes to His Nature, they can only take 2D slices of the 3D God. And depending on how you slice...

    Gods Standard is...

    Just to add to this thread's practicality, God's standard is Jesus Christ. God's Perfection, Holiness, Righteousness.... these are all seen clearly in Jesus Christ. If we want to meet God's Standard, we must walk in God's Way (Jesus Christ). And to do that, we must be a member of Christ's...

    Memorize, but how?

    When I was a child, my mother forced me to memorize over 600 bible verses in a kids program known as AWANA (Approved Workman Are Not Ashamed). As I continued reading the Bible, certain phrases and ideas sunk in my memory. Now when I'm in conversation with people, I hear key words and phrases...

    Two particular problems with dispensationalism...

    To get the right Eschatology, you have to rightly divide "Tribulation". There is tribulation from Satan and evil men/spirits, and Tribulation from God. When we're talking about the Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls of God's Wrath in Revelation, we're talking about Tribulation from God. Persecution...
