    Saints meet your opposition

    Blaaa.....Blaaa.....Blaaa. Same old naturalist assertions that have been made since the day after Christ's resurrection. This man says nothing new. If the gospel accounts were all identical, this clown would be the first to then claim they were then proven to be manufactured. And of...

    I had a serious case of "withdrawal".

    I could not find any references to a church or religious movement called Mazarine.

    Thanks, I followed the link. I don't think there is any connection.

    Amazing Story

    Thank you (I think) for the link. I found it fascinating and enlightening. I have spent very little time studying Rabbinic Judaism but find it fascinating and a little confusing. It adds much nuance to biblical study.

    Amazing Story

    Its really interesting. When you look at the genealogy of the 12 tribes it is pretty much impossible to trace DNA. Historically there was much mixing between the tribes. I have thought that God did this to prevent us from being prideful, thus ensuring we understand faith alone for salvation.

    Amazing Story

    Numbers 5:11-3 deals with a rather strange test of fidelity for a married woman. It sounds very pagan and reminds one of water and fire torture tests used against believers. Apparently, adultery was a major problem among God’s People after they left Egypt so he issued these special...

    Spouse Sanctified? Children Holy?

    It's one of my favorites and you ask a great question. I tend to take the Bible as written and try to avoid too much interpretation. The verse you mention is in the context of an believer who finds themselves married to an unbeliever. Paul says in his opinion the believer should not divorce...

    VP Pence announced just hours ago he's running for president

    I m not defending Trump!!!! I don't like asking for forgiveness either, although I find the necessity more and more common as I grown in YHWH's word. Somehow, I thing He would prefer it too.

    VP Pence announced just hours ago he's running for president

    "Trump supporters are mad because he wouldn't help Trump try to commit insurrection" Really? I didn't know that.

    Pope Benedict has passed on

    There are other interpretations of Revelation 17. Your point of not repeating past errors is valid for all church organizations. They are all, in the end, human institutions.

    VP Pence announced just hours ago he's running for president

    I did the same thing for a long time...forced to declare one poor choice or another, just for the privilege of voting. Lately I have changed. I find no party and no candidate trustworthy enough to place faith. The entire process is corrupt and evil, it is Babylon. It pains me to withdraw and...

    A Few Quite Notes

    “When I look at this place, He is not here; and when I look at myself naturally I am not fit for Him. How happy then to know that I belong to the place where He is; and that in Him, through grace, I am made suited to Him in that new place above.” —J B Stoney Great Post!

    VP Pence announced just hours ago he's running for president

    I'm from Indiana and was shocked when Trump chose him for VP. He was a turn-coat then and is still one now. Mike P will do anything to get himself elected. He endangered the public safety of every Hoosier to get himself in the Governors chair by making back-room deals for votes against the...

    Savage God

    I too have struggled with that a little. Sometimes it seems like the consequences don't match the crime. One that I struggled with lately was the incineration death of the two sons of Aaron for presenting incense to the lord at the tabernacle entrance. Only when I came to realized the two...

    Savage God

    One of the issues skeptics raise about Christianity involves the perceived savagery and violence of the First Testament. How can this be from a god of love and kindness? Part of this confusion rests on a lack of understanding of the political and cultural environment of that time. It is...

    Christ kept the Law of Moses, so....

    Just a little clarification... I believe "The Law" Jesus spoke about were the laws God gave visually, audibly and physically to all his people gathered below him. In thunder, earthquake and lightning he gave 10 laws that are inviolate. This must be the basis for all Christian faith. Through...
