  • I think this forum is as good as it gets. You have more free speech than any other forum I know of. That said, I think the ideal is when a person presents their view. And those who disagree present their view, leaving the view they oppose lay. Fo…

    What are your thoughts on this? It looks odd but I am not too well read on alternative theories.

    If you look at abortion biblically, it most certainly removes potentially millions of future generations from ever existing. Study Traducianism, the biblical view that we are personally the sum total of our ancestors, and woul…

    Here are a few verses showing widespread rituals of burning children alive. Possibly these were hardcore literalists. But God took the Levites in trade for all of Israel's first born that belonged to him since the original Passover.

  • CM, I'm showing generational curses in the bible. But I think we see this today as well where the parents' sins affect generations. Babies born with aids etc. Drunk drivers kill their families along with themselves. Abortion permanently removes e…

    How is this? I'm only showing that God curses (reprobates) entire families for generations to come. Simple Calvinism shows this whether you are infra - or supra lapsarian.

    Condemning children for the sins of the fathers. If God reprobates entire families, Esau and Edom.

    Thanks for your interest in this.

    God did not fail in his plan. He works all things after the council of his will.

    In the Greek translation, kyrios was used to render the divine name Yahweh (יהוה, yhwh). Thus it became possible to transfer to Jesus statements that were attributed in the Old Testament to God.

    If Peter got it wrong, throw away your bibles folks. You cannot trust one word as being true.

    Nonetheless, it happens.

    To say this is to ignore Peter and his authority. Jesus Christ is the triune God's personal name. “Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, aft…

    Most of what I've experienced has been in the workplace. And if war includes laying siege to a city, cutting off food and water, we have this in miniature every day of the year when taking a stand for Christ. Demotions, threats of dism…

    The Old Testament is rife with God visiting the sins of the fathers to the children. Adam for instants. Granted he was our representative, but nonetheless it did happen.

    If we preach the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ for our sins, the Holy Spirit does the rest. He opens even the hardest heart. And then we follow through with the message of repentance and baptism for all who believe. This is…

    Also, thank you for stopping by and sharing your blessings. We hope to see more of you. This is one of the best and most fairly moderated Christian forums on the net.

    Thanks for adding to the discussion. All of the detailed instances of Baptism in Acts took place by baptizing in Jesus' name. Not one instance of baptizing in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. So it appears Peter interprete…

    Thanks for joining in. Welcome to the forum! I like much of what I've read from Mike Heiser. And also use his site Miqlat every so often to check myself against. https://www.miqlat.org/<…

    Yes, excellent point. I'm aware of racism in the News. But we have zero tolerance for racism locally with few exceptions.

    Thanks Mitchell, very informative and a good quick reference to check ourselves against before saying too much on these topics.

  • I can see how Ali would want a spiritual identity apart from the white folk who made life so miserable for blacks. And had the church been more Christ like he and others might not have felt so alienated from Christ by them. It's the same today wh…

    Under "News & Current Events seems most logical. Possibly all posts invisible, only the categories visible with highlighting or a fly over or a side panel showing new activity.

  • “Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.” (Acts 10:34–35) (KJV 1900)

    This is a touchy pass…

    That would be great. Possibly hid behind a link so it isn't in your face as soon as you enter the site.

    Thanks for a great site and privilege to share with others.

    Thanks for the post. It helps clear up a few things for me. I was always confused hearing what appeared to be double message from Muslims. I remember Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) being a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War. So…
