    The heavenly bodies were created for the purpose of ministering to the earth: And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of...

    The Kerygma - God's Requirement for Salvation

    Keeping in mind that God is Jesus and Jesus is God, no one (BC & AD) has ever not heard of Him. One thing I know from Scripture is that God never willed for me to be saved one iota more than for every other human who ever lived to be saved. And that He's taken all the initiative necessary for...

    5 minutes in hell, with no hope for eternity, would clear that "unconditional" election myth right up for you. God set his affections upon all wretched worms. He didn't want them to go to hell. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him...

    In your opinion do you believe world is about 6000 years old

    Evidence would say that Adam was once a baby and that the egg came before the chicken. You have to allow for miracles and trust Scripture's account of earth's history.

    Rebuke my corrupt mind please.

    It may have been that after the rain started to fall, that some of the people turned to the Lord in repentance before they drowned - and then died and went to heaven. The period of time between the rain starting to fall and the final drowning could possibly be the "prison" Peter mentions: ...

    Gods will vs mans free will

    Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Psalms 37:4 (KJV) I think that delighting yourself in the Lord includes staying within the bounds of Scripture (as you currently know them to be). Then do whatever you want - which would be the desires of your...

    I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of...

    What Does "Born of Water" Mean?

    By that reckoning, the fluid flowing in the Jordan River wasn't water either. But the Bible calls it water, so that's good enough for me. Amniotic fluid wasn't known by men back then and Jesus was talking to a man so that the man could understand.

    Gods will vs mans free will

    I agree. The LORD hath made known his salvation ... all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Psalms 98:2-3 ... thy salvation, 31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; Luke 2:30-31 ... the gospel ... Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all...
