Hello Brother (@paul12), I'm worried, since we haven't heard from you since last week. Please check in with us and let us know how you are doing (assuming that you are able to do so). Praying for you! God bless you!! ~Deuteronomy

Hello Vassal, I agree that the Lord Jesus used the Ten Commandments to teach us (quite a few times), and that He deepened our understanding of what they truly meant and of how they are to be obeyed. However, as far as the rich, young ruler goes, what do you make of this part of the Lord's...

Whoops, I meant to add the same passage from the ESV translation above as well, but since I failed to do so, here it is (the bold text was added by me, of course). Genesis 1 (ESV) 14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let...

Hello DJT_47, all of the translations and paraphrases of the Bible that I'm aware of teach that the stars, along with our star (the Sun) and our Moon, were created on Day 4 (see below). Assuming for the moment that you are correct, if God did not create the rest of the stars on Day 4, then when...

Praying.....

Abraham and Sarah married, even though they were brother and sister (half-sister). In America, most of our 50 States allow 2nd cousin marriages (some have certain restrictions that other States do not concerning these marriages), but only 19 States allow 1st cousins to marry.

Hello again WildernessVoice, the clarity that I'm looking for would have to come from you, would it not (as the author of the OP), unless you are saying that God is author of the OP instead? ;) ~Deuteronomy

Hello Memberofthebride, what I had in mind (by using "omnitemporal") is that the Decalogue is for all generations/ages and peoples (not just for the Jews @ Sinai, IOW), not that it exists outside of time like God does (though I suppose that it does in a certain sense, so I don't have a problem...

Hello @jed67, welcome to CChat! We're glad that you found us and joined in the discussions with us :) As far as the study of anthropology goes (Biblical anthropology?), I'll watch for your thread(s) on the topic and join in if I have a question and/or think that I may have something to add...

Hello again @WildernessVoice, I should have also mentioned that I do not believe that keeping the 10 Commandments (or even doing our best to try to keep them) is how we are saved, nor do I believe that keeping them is a necessary part of maintaining our salvation (after all, we are saved by...

Hello @WildernessVoice, I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but I believe that the Decalogue is omnitemporal. I also believe that the Decalogue can be a great help to us in understanding the true character of our heavenly Father (IOW, who He really is/what He is really...

Hello Faith (@Faithy), welcome to CChat! I'm glad that you found us and joined in the discussions with us (y)(y) As far as getting answers to your questions about God, the Bible and the Christian faith goes, that's a BIG part of what this place is all about, so ask away :giggle: God bless...

Hello David (@David71452), welcome to CChat! I'm glad that you found us and joined in the discussions with us, and I look forward to talking with you out on the other boards too :) God bless you!! ~Deuteronomy (David) 1 Thessalonians 5 23 May the God of peace Himself sanctify you...

Hello Lovette, if Eve, Sarah and Rachel were not stay-at-home moms, what did they do instead :unsure: Also, is there any evidence telling us that they were something other than homemakers :unsure: (and if there is, please tell us where it can be found in the Bible, as this idea is one that I...

Praying for your quick and complete recovery!

Hey Zeke, I guess the big question is, what do you think about that :unsure: As far as advice goes, I think that the best way to be clothed with humility (toward God and toward others) as a believer is to keep your focus on the Lord. We do this by continually growing in the knowledge and...

One last thing, you will run into MANY different teachings in your walk, some that may make you think (at first blush anyway) that Christianity must have gotten it wrong, but don't get stressed about any of these things (that may leave you wondering about God/His word/the Christian faith)...

About that, while parts of the Christian faith (particularly becoming a Christian) are simple (easier than most or perhaps all other religions, actually), there are many aspects of the Christian faith that are not so easy/require quite a bit of study/prayer/thought (and sometimes patience), and...
