Oh, you think we‘re not currently at war. Interesting.

Right?! I mean, they say crazy things just like that! :D Who were you quoting?

Since we've all concluded that there will be no pre-trib rapture, because the Lord is able to keep His own safe even within fire and the worst of circumstances, can we move on now? And we are absolutely correct: it's silly to suggest that the Lord will withdraw the troops just prior to victory...

I meant to type: By their doctrine, living people, not ”principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” became their enemies.

Eternal judgement, an elementary doctrine, is seeing things from an eternal perspective: God’s. Eternal judgement tells us that Christ, through His people, conquered the Roman Empire from within even under extreme and sanctioned persecution. They did this not by fighting the Romans but by...

Sandwiches.

Wow, I need a better editor. What I meant to write: Be wary of the "gun and rights cult" that has emerged from the American church. Like the Romans, they've mixed men's traditions with religious teachings. All kinds of abominable ideas have been born from that joining.

If the church properly taught eternal judgement (judgement from an eternal perspective) the answers to questions like these would be easy to ascertain. Killing people in the name of Christ was never done, by either Christ or His disciples. For the people who think otherwise, they are on the...

People don’t get it. There is lawful, lawless, and then a third way: being led by the Spirit. And you are so right, sis: the law was a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ. Now we are in Christ and follow the Spirit of God. When we hear people say “Well, now that I am in Christ I can follow the...

We haven’t even started on Hobbes. Oh you just wait, Hobbes’ll get his comeuppance.

“Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh.“ Okay, but like, we should still say Christ was a Jew, right? “Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.” Dang it!

Jesus Christ baptizes us WITH the Spirit. He accomplishes this from heaven. The Spirit baptizes us into the one Body of Christ. This also occurred AFTER Jesus ascended to heaven as there was no body of Christ into which anyone could be immersed until after He arose as the life-giving Spirit...
