My children are adults. My daughter has four of the most spoiled brats you would not want to meet. They are all autistic. Her idea of "discipline" is time out. The eldest boy is more or less OK. He really is autistic. The younger son is utterly rebellious. I saw the look on his face when he...

He lawyer gave her some bad advice. It was something to the effect of do not show emotion in case it looked insincere. She looked a bit dowdy, not glamorous. The police case was based on appalling forensic analysis of a stain in the boot of the Chamberlain's car. It was claimed to be dried...

My point is that God's covenant with the nation of Israel still stands. It is also that Israel exists according to God's will and purpose, that is yet to be completed.

The scriptures you claim to research so diligently say that Lord Jesus placed gifts in the church to bring believers to maturity. Derek Prince is one of them. Sure, by all means check what he has to to say. I don't agree 100% with every word he's ever said. But he has insight and knowledge that...

Welcome. Jesus promised that if you seek Him, you will find Him. What hinders us from knowing Jesus is sin. We imagine that we are basically good people. But we are nowhere near good enough. God's standard is absolute perfection. And the wages of sin is death, not physical but spiritual. And we...

I don't know if I responded to this. Lindy Chamberlain was stitched up. Yes, I was living here. People took a dislike to her and that was the end of her hope of a fair trial. Even some Christians I knew (women, of course) judged her without facts and before the trial was over. The retrial showed...

Confusing? I have no idea what you are talking about. So I am confused about the point you are trying to make.

I missed this. Discipline begins at home. If rules are not enforced there, the child has no boundaries and will not obey anywhere else. The Bible has the answer, as always. Give the disobedient child a spanking. Works a treat.

I don't know. It does not get a mention at my church. I would include that suggestion in any information package aimed at new believers.

Believe what you like, Israel exists, like it or not. It is there according to God's promises. It will remain until there is a new heaven and new earth. Maybe it bugs you that a nation of sinners and rebels should be shown mercy and grace by God. Paul warns believers against such an attitude...

Try reading Romans 11. You can make the Bible say almost anything if you are selective enough and ensure that you ignore anything that contradicts your specious reasoning.

Thanks for the information. It's just as well that we have the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth. I use Bible Hub, which has around 30 versions. I'm not educated enough in Biblical studies to try and rip God's word to shreds. My view is that it's God's Word and He is well able to ensure that...

Paul judged believers. He rebuked the Galatians, called out the sin of the Corinthian adulterer and rebuked the Corinthians for tolerating the evil. You need to learn the difference between being judgemental and judging as in the sense of discernment. If we are no called to judge, how come...

The only truly reliable scriptures are the original languages. KJV is confusing and misleading at times, better than most at others. The meaning of words has changed since the KJV. The KJV was based on previous translations anyway. It has no more authority than any other version. If you want to...

Your statement that no one was saved while Jesus was on earth is not true. Salvation in the Bible is not only forgiveness of sin. It includes healing and deliverance from evil spirits. Are you trying to say that Abraham, Moses, Jacob and David were not saved? That is patently false. Each of...

I use Bible Hub. There are 30 or more translations. I've not seen any suggestion that Genesis is considered symbolism. I'd be interested to know which translators subscribe to the "symbolism" point of view. A number of people on the forum reject the literal interpretation of Genesis. I'm not...

When I was first saved, there was a good deal of emphasis on time with God and studying His Word. I don't hear this preached as much. Some churches no longer preach, preferring to offer Christian entertainment masquerading as worship. Has the church become so spiritual that it no longer needs...

Your point is well made and exactly why The Living Waters approach is the way to go. I've watched a number of the short youtubes of Ray and his fellow evangelists street witnessing. Some people know almost nothing about Jesus, salvation, God's word or sin. Others have some idea. How much did...

Welcome

There are two kinds of judging. The first is in the sense of a court of law. That is entirely God's domain. But there is a place for judging behaviour that is unacceptable to God. For example, Paul told the Corinthians to excommunicate the man sleeping with his "father's wife, probably his...
