I normally tell people we do not know whom God saves or does not. If you believe in Christ you can know for sure you have eternal life. Some of the worst enter heaven before some of the best according to Jesus.

I believe this alone proves the promises to Abraham were symbolic and only literal and temporal for the duration of the Old Covenant. The promises far exceed the land's, even the earth's capacity to fulfill it.

Thanks CM for helping to perk this thread up a bit. My understanding is that today's Israel is not biblical Israel. But is comprised mainly from the broken off Jews and Pharisees who escaped the destruction of 70AD.
Circumcisio…

That would be great! I use a rocking chair but I think it is only a slight improvement.

Thanks for calling attention to this. I think when Paul said "if a person doesn't work neither shall he eat", he inadvertently shows the need for physical work. The harder the better. Hard physical work was a blessing God gave us to endure the cu…

Thanks!

I no doubt upset many but not as an end in itself. But it will place the fear of God in your heart if I'm right.

I felt the same when Oprah called attention to the murder of thousands of innocent African Americans with the lynching article I posted earlier. It is easier for me to deal with the Holocaust because God placed the broken off unbelievi…

One step in the right direction is to direct Christians away from the sword and towards the cross. A clear principle all should understand is, any doctrine that results in the death or destruction of life or of the family is from the D…

I think Luther got it right on some things, but Jesus had to open the OT Scriptures to the disciples before they could understand them.
Jesus said unless a person is born again, they cannot see the Kingdom of God. And the most popular mil…

We need to do as Jesus said, remove the log from our own eye before we can see clearly enough to remove the splinter from our foreign neighbor's eye. This is why I think good Nazis would have made good Americans and visa versa had their cradles b…

I think if people would vote "the least amount of innocent bloodshed" instead of voting their "ticket". America might move in the right direction. Back in the day, I would always vote "pro-life". But this also meant the least amount of death over…

“For you know quite well that the day of the Lord [end of the world] will come in the same way as a thief in the night.” (1 Thessalonians 5:2) (NET)
“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice …

I think one way we can contribute to lessening this evil is to continue speaking out against "Christian" involvement in violence.
There is an entire segment in "Evangelical Christendom" that craves nuclear war in the Middle Eas…

What will they call this one? "Fornigate"?

If all standard translations include "baptize them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit", and the Apostles baptized in Jesus' name, then Jesus Christ is not only the name of the triune God, it also proves Jesus IS God.

I think it depends on whether or not they find more sex payoffs. But the most unsettling issue to me is how the "Evangelicals" are identifying with Trump, helping to finish off once and for all the already tarnished image of the Church in America…

But, Jesus commanded them to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And they baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Which means Jesus Christ is the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
"in the name of the Lord" = Jes…

You cannot throw out scripture on hearsay. If you can throw out any, you can throw it all away. The fact that all reliable translations include Matthew 28:19 in exactly the same phrasing, shows it is part of scripture. And the fact that every men…

You cannot produce one shred of scripture that says the Apostles baptized in the names Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Of the baptisms mentioned, all were in the name of Jesus Christ. Or they were mentioned in passing without name details given.

Peter did exactly what Jesus told him to do. Where do you see anyone baptizing the the names (plural) of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in the NT? It is not there. You must agree with the catholics and others who ignore Peter and baptize in the…

If we cannot trust Peter to interpret Jesus for us, who can we trust? If we deny baptism in Jesus' name as fulfilling his command to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, why not deny all of the bible and move on to something e…

"rather Peter changed Jesus' words."
No, Wolfgang changed Peter's and Jesus' words. If Jesus told the disciples to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and Peter and the others baptized in the name of Jesus …

I think any Us vs Them pride is sin. “And [God] hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;” (Acts 17:26) (KJV 1900)

I'm using the term showing the "narrator" often used anthropomorphisms in revealing God's mind at a human level.
Anthropomorphism. Representation of God in the form of a human being in speech or writing. “Anthropomorphism,” der…
