    The white Jesus

    Jesus' race was Arab. Palestinian. I mean He was literally in the Roman province of Palestina. Which doesn't sit well with many Christians; 'cause they're terrorists, you know..... Although the argument that at least 50% of Jesus' blood was divine and thus had no race in the traditional...

    We are all false teachers

    Even Jesus was a false teacher, according to many Pharisees. He would have gotten stoned for it, but because the Jews were subject to the Roman occupation, they settled for crucifixion. The Biblical admonishments about false teaching need to be taken seriously--especially if you are...

    Today’s church’s misunderstandings

    Before the Covid crisis even came, these Sabbath debates just went constantly round-and-round, in circles. Then when Covid came and the Church hit a little bit of adversity, it was the Pentecostals who shined--not the Seventh Day Adventists. It was the Pentecostals who boldly continued to...

    Today’s church’s misunderstandings

    What is the Scriptural justification for Seventh Day Adventist not meeting for church at all on Saturdays during the covid crisis? If God ordained it so strictly that it absolutely has to be Saturday, then surely no man can undo that God ordained that you actually meet for worship on Saturday...

    The seeker sensitive movement

    If there is any seeker-sensitive "movement," that is news to me. Churches have been trying to be seeker-sensitive for as long as I can remember. Some can be seeker-sensitive to a fault--as in watering down the Gospel--but others, they're just trying to focus on lowering the sermon down to a...

    Attacks on the Rapture: a popular pastime among some Christians

    I believe post-millennial actually leans a-trib. Whereas amillennial believes we are presently living in the millennium, post-millennial believes we are presently living in the Tribulation. Then, when the entire world is reached with the Gospel, Christ comes. It's actually the most...

    Attacks on the Rapture: a popular pastime among some Christians

    There is a LOT of chatter on this thread, so it's easy to miss stuff. I don't know which verses you are referring to, but I was referring to the entirety of Matthew 13.

    Today’s church’s misunderstandings

    I believe that unless you were meeting in church and worshipping on Saturday all throughout the Covid crisis, then you need to take the log out of your own eye before taking out the speck of people who observed it on a Sunday instead of a Saturday. And that you also forfeit your right to log...

    What does the Bible mean about the role of women?

    I Timothy doesn't, but I Corinthians 14, NLT: 34 Women should be silent during the church meetings. It is not proper for them to speak. They should be submissive, just as the law says.

    Protest for equality

    I can say firsthand that moving to Canada DOES constitute an escape, but it can be hard. Especially with the border closing due to Covid.

    Crime DEFINITELY pays: imagine no police in any American city!

    In its original form, defunding the police was a way around the labor unions and the fraternal order of police destroying the country. People had no problem recognizing the problems labor unions were causing in Michigan and Wisconsin--especially when government employees were unionizing. For...

    On The Road To Emmaus: Luke 24:32

    One detail that I believe happened on the road to Emmaus, but this does not hold Scriptural authority: Jesus was unrecognizable because of his physical injuries. I lost a family member to a car accident, and you could not have recognized her, either, at the very end. His voice may have gotten...

    Attacks on the Rapture: a popular pastime among some Christians

    I am more-or-less replying to you and cv5 both here. I don't allegorize either Enoch or Lot. I don't see either as a "type". Lot and Enoch are men. The point is, Lot was delivered from God's wrath--by God taking Lot out of SODOM. Not off the planet. Enoch I suppose was taken off the...

    Attacks on the Rapture: a popular pastime among some Christians

    Firstly, whatever it is you are refuting, it is a straw man. I never said anything to the contrary. Second, anyone on this board can read Matthew 13 for themselves and clearly read that the parables of the weeds and the net are Jesus conveying the same message using two different word pictures.

    Attacks on the Rapture: a popular pastime among some Christians

    Being raptured (or dead...) is *A* way Christians can be spared God's wrath, but not the only way. As you illustrated, Lot was not raptured.

    Attacks on the Rapture: a popular pastime among some Christians

    In Matthew 13, Jesus gives TWO parables, both of which carry the same message: the parable of the weeds (24-30, 36-43), and the parable of the net (47-52). That is nice--and indeed, it is probably why Jesus needed to illustrate His point with TWO word pictures, not one--because if the meaning...

    What does the Bible mean about the role of women?

    What I frequently hate in these kind of discussions is when men self-deprecate. I'm just not sold on the idea that the evil men have been oppressing the innocent women for thousands of years. The Bible says what it says. The Old Testament has the books of Ruth and Esther--not the books of...

    Attacks on the Rapture: a popular pastime among some Christians

    Tribulation is never mentioned in Matthew 13. Of course the sheep will be separated from the goats, the wheat from the chaff, what have you. That matches Revelation 20:11 onward. The means or order of doing it are never mentioned--except perhaps that it says Jesus will send angels to do...

    Foreign Wives

    I was posting in agreement with you, by the way. (I know how the internet can be...) Of course Ruth was a foreigner, but a believer. And King David's great-grandmother.
