The absurdity of the legalistic position is obvious, except to the legalists. The temple no longer exists. So there is no way to obey the 613 commandments. Who burns their house down if there is a contagious illness in the family? That would have been interesting in the COVID pandemic period!

I do not understand why people can't grasp God's word that is so clearly stated. God's written law, as given to Moses, no longer applies to a born again Christian. That is so clearly stated that there should be no confusion. Tell me what laws apply to dead people? Who takes a corpse to court? I...

There is a difference between the physical nation of Israel and the people. That's all I'm saying. Jews will be saved just the same way as any other person becomes born again. I've said my bit about Israel as a nation.

Welcome

There needs to be a distinction between Israel as a nation and the Jewish religion. God foretold that Israel would be scattered and then restored as a nation. This happened in 1948, as prophesied. Israel is the nation born in one day, for example. Israel is silent testimony to God's mighty power...

The Law has its place still. While there are sinners, the Law has a role to play (1 Timothy 1:8). However, the Law has no more application to those who are born again.

Revival is wonderful, but must be followed by establishing new believers in Christ. This is where it falls over. Too many church leaders are trying to establish believers in their denomination. God's blessing is where there is unity (Psalm 133). Few pastors are prepared to follow the principle...

Sure, I read the news and try to sort out lies from truth. Not easy. It's good to know what to pray about.

What do you want? No amount of mea culpa is going to change history one iota. Do you not know that God is in control? God judges all things impartially and righteously. We have our own indignant indigenous people here. They wallow in self pity, drink themselves into early graves, the men treat...

Judging the past by the standards of today is ridiculous and pointless. All kinds of evil has been done in God's name and still is being done. All kinds of great things were done and are being done in God's name also.

Wrong premise. Water does not cleanse the soul. Baptism is symbolic, (1 Peter 3:21) the blood of Christ is not. I take everything to do with God's word seriously, sorry if that's not what you were after.

It was normal practice in those days. Indigenous people were entrenched in witchcraft and tribal warfare was commonplace. America was not some kind of utopia. If it had not been the British, it would have been the Spanish, French, Dutch or Portuguese. Pick your colonial power. One thing is...

It's a win for millions of believers who want the right not to whitewash sin. There are other bakers who would happily bake a cake for anyone.

God's word is described as being like a seed. Not much is said about the sower but much is said about the conditions required for the seed to sprout and bear fruit. I used to think that this was purely about evangelism. I was wrong. Evangelism is purely the beginning of the work of God's word in...

That's how I saw it. I note that Israel's critics still have no positive and workable solution to the problem.
