    New Zealand Mountain Gains Personhood

    A Christian does not have to like all people who claim to be a Republican for they are still thieves, fornicate, commit adultery, cheat on their taxes, do drugs, love money, love material things, love worldliness, cuss, brawlers, and such things. But they still are more moral than Democrats in...

    Initial faith and ongoing faith, is a distinction needed between the two to interpret Scripture accurately?

    We are saved by faith and not by works when we first confess Christ for that is all we can do for we are in the flesh and have not received the Spirit yet.

    Ouestion of the day

    It was not for punishment at that early in the history of the Hebrews. It was Canaan where they dwelt and was not Israel yet when they went to Egypt.

    How has science impacted your perspective on the Hebrew Bible?
