Another Scripture passage comes to mind: 2 Samuel 1. In that passage, an Amalekite comes to David and tells him that he killed King Saul. But actually, Saul had fallen on his own sword when the Philistines were closing in. By the way, Saul's armor bearer took his own life as well. The...

Creating doubts about the consistency between Jesus' and Paul's teachings is one of Satan's biggest schemes. And I believe that God Himself knows the spiritual reason(s) for that.

Date-setting fits the definition of insanity: doing something over and over and expecting a different result each time. I know it's not wise to take Scripture verses out of context and read them in isolation, but Jesus said that no one knows the day or hour of His return. This is...

Always, and I mean always, pray to Jesus and ask Him to fight your spiritual battles for you. Never engage Satan or other evil spirits directly. cf. Job 1, Ephesians 6, Luke 10, James 4, 1 Peter 5, Jude 9, Revelation 12. Put on the whole armor of God. By submitting to God, we can resist...

This thought just occurred to me: Not excusing the scribes and Pharisees, but maybe one of their reasons for claiming that Jesus cast out demons by Satan was that they (Pharisees) knew about Pharaoh's magicians and how they duplicated Moses' miracles. It sounds as if the scribes & Pharisees...

Serpent seed doctrine?

Semper Fi!

Welcome aboard, Philip!

It's really quite simple: "Then the serpent said to the woman, 'You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil'. So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the...

One must consider the context in which Jesus said that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit would be unforgivable (cf. Matthew 12 and Mark 3). In those cases, the scribes and Pharisees who saw Jesus heal the blind and mute man attributed His miracle to Satan (Beelzebub). The Jewish leaders'...

I use the KJV, NKJV, (original) NIV and the ESV. James White is a good source with regard to Biblical manuscripts and which ones were used to create the various Bible translations/versions we have today.

I want to be buried first with simplicity and have a memorial service be held afterward. The service can be held at the church I attended as a kid, at the funeral home or at the cemetery, depending on circumstances. Ideally, I'd want my relatives/guests to put on a dinner consisting of: Fried...

I think another big elephant in the room regarding sexual purity is the ideal that ALL male sexuality is inherently "dirty" and "harmful to women". Some of this comes from the idea of asceticism, which teaches that all physical needs/pleasures are bad and that one should always avoid such if...

"And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ” - Exodus 3:14 NKJV "Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” - John 8:58 NKJV Christ Jesus is God in the flesh, the Alpha and...

My mom used to say this (which made me laugh): "Along came a spider And sat down beside her And she ate him too!" :ROFL:

Welp, the inevitable happened..............
