Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin. We can anticipate divine judgment coming, as in the example of ancient Sodom; yet it doesn't seem fair that a state like Texas (which has resisted both baby-murder and men-lying-with-men) should share in the punishment of the nation & those particularly...

(No, this is not the great song by Eddie James.) There is this gorgeous song by Dan R. Edwards, "You Are Worthy" -- the name of which may belong to 100 other songs. But this tune is sublime; great praise to our Lord. I have been unable to find much of the lyrics (only a short part), and I...

Possibly cooperation of Turkey with the "Islamic State" began when the USA was also promoting IS (ISIS / ISIL) as a way to overthrow the Assad government of Syria. The current relationship of Turkey to the "Islamic State" is a significant question, IS being now in power about 100 miles (3-4...

Please help me out in understanding the practical value of Ps 22 FIRST COMPARE PS 22 WITH ISAIAH 52-53 Often this passage is called Isaiah 53, but it actually starts in 52. Some of the ideas are quite similar & also complementary. Parallel passages from Isaiah were inserted into parallel...

How much "free will" do men actually have? Did the LORD violate Rebekah's "free will" in granting Eliezer's prayer? 10 And the servant took ten camels, of the camels of his master, and departed, 1having all goodly things of his master’s in his hand: and he arose, and went to 2Mesopotamia...

A relentless Water/Works Heretic has posted in the Eternal Security Debate an off-topic distraction alleging the when Scripture says that the Spirit dwells in a Christian, it is a figure of speech for influence, alleging that IN is not literal. But his influence theory is weaker than what...

The Question is asked in Acts 16: Sirs, what MUST-I-DO to be saved? This question refers to the must-I-do. You can be saved by doing the must-I-do and innumerable other nice things (which are unnecessary for salvation). The question concerns salvation, not just getting a chance at it. The...

Spokesman Todd Starowitz of Tyndale House, a leading Christian publisher, confirmed Friday that Alex Malarkey's The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven: A Remarkable Account of Miracles, Angels, and Life Beyond This World was being withdrawn. Earlier this week, Malarkey acknowledged in an open letter...

HIZIKYAH POSTED [slightly edited by myself] AT 1848926 in the Denial of Eternal Security is satanic thread the following: I brought it here in a new thread: Hizi, I start a new thread for you on your topic: My response: You will find some light on your circumcision gambit by checking out...

We have seen the republic element of our government diminished with the rise of oligarchical tyranny from the SCOTUS. They have discovered that the Consitution is the final authority & that it only means what they say it means. We have seen the republic element of our government diminished...

Completely off topic where we were discussing Ephraem or pseuo-Ephraem's sermon(s) -- are they pretrib in early middle ages??? -- highwayman decided to jump in off topic & start accusing me of teaching one can lose salvation & that I teach salvation by works. For crying outloud! No, salvation...

EPHRAEM'S SERMON, WITH DISPUTED DATE IN THE RANGE IV-VIII AD, & some claim it is a pseudo-Ephraem But it is not really important who gave the sermon, but the earliness of the document tosses out the dogmatic dismissal of pre-trib rapture as invented by some Jesuit or crazy Scottish girl late...

As I recall there are 9 Raptures in the Bible. Can you name them? By rapture I mean a catching up as in 1 Thes 4:17 (harpagēsometha = rapiemur = we shall be raptured (caught up). You might say that Jacob was in rapture when he first saw Rachel, a figurative rapture, which is the common way of...

You can apply that question to your own country. Me, I am a citizen of the USA. How should we pray for our country? Now suppose that everyone repented of the current moral decline, slouching towards Sodom, & our baby-murder holocaust. So then the majority became church members going to church...

Of the Father's Love Begotten: I came across this quaint, very old, Christmas Carol today. It is on YouTube. As it is a translation / adaptation of an old Latin hymn, there is quite a variation in the lines for singing in English. I think this is a hymn for theologians in particular. As to...

The Father Who spared not His own, can freely give us all things (Rom 8). The Lord Jesus is the Savior, Who can give eternal life. (I give them eternal life, & they shall never perish). The Holy Spirit can fill and lead you with love, joy, & peace -- etc. ( just scratch the surface.) Let's...

Would we be in the ungodly mess we are in now in the USA had we Christians prayed faithfully for our leaders? A great deal of mischief has been wrought in our land by ungodly decisions of the SCOTUS, striking down good laws, substituting their own legislation-from-the-bench for voter &...

The whole idea of canon involves a fallacy which is obvious upon consideration of John 10 "My sheep hear my voice," and the prophetic dynamic in the Bible. Also "sacred tradition" is a bogus concept. That is an example of a rather famous RCC apologetic: The claim seems to be that the Bible...

A typical RCC apologetic appears to be the argument that the only reason to accept the Bible as God's Word is that the RCC says the Bible is God's Word; for the RCC determined the canon. Thus there is this fallacy of circular reasoning if the papist then tries to prove that the RCC is true...
