    Ask me anything.

    Ask any woman if there is something wrong. If she says, "Nothing", it's definitely "something". It's all in interpreting based on context, flow of thought, flow of discussion surrounding the question. I'm doing my post graduate work in being married now. I still don't have a clue as to what...

    can you guys post something funny please?

    Three strings were walking down the main street in Phoenix in the summer time. One turns to the other two and says, "I'm parched. What say I get us a couple of Cokes from the next restaurant we pass. They agreed, and at the next restaurant he entered, walked up to the bar and asked for three...

    can you guys post something funny please?

    So, a small church decided the church and the buildings needed painting. A budget was set, and 4 bids received and a contractor was chosen. However, the youth pastor spoke up and asked why he couldn't be the one who painted the buildings. His salary was small, and he needed extra work to make...

    Can a Christian marry someone they are not physically attracted to if they are spiritually compatible?

    Paul says, it is better to remain single as long as you can control your lusts... 1Co. 7:7, 20-24, 27, 28, 32-35, 36 but it is NOT commanded. 1Co. 7:1-2, 25-26 And, if they do, they must have sex anytime either one of them desires. Even if you want to take time to pray, unless your partner...

    Jesus' Methodology for verifying beliefs, responses, doctrines, ... are "Incorrect"

    I see the parable of the talents to be about what God has given to each man with regards to knowledge, ability, ... and what those who are faithful do with them. All of those entering into the joy of their Master utilize those things for the kingdom that He put in their possession for the...

    The Gate to Life

    What passage says hell is temporary. I gave you passages that state rewards in heaven last exactly as long as punishment in hell. God's word says different "degrees" of punishment are dealt out, but that it lasts forever. I get that you say something different. Joh. 17:12 Is about Jesus only...

    Hermeneutics: Interpreting Scripture

    Mormon's, Jehovah's Witnesses, Roman Catholics, Christian Science, ... all the vast masses of people in the 45,000 different Christian belief groups, all trust that the Holy Spirit is guiding every last one of them into truth. Yet Jesus says the vast masses of these believe lies are truth and...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    Well, sin, in the church age is three things. The first is knowing what to do and not doing it. The second is knowing what not to do and doing it anyway. The third is not knowing what to do or not to do and just doing what you want. All 3 are "Nevertheless, Lord, not Your will be done, my will...

    Jesus' Methodology for verifying beliefs, responses, doctrines, ... are "Incorrect"

    Oddly, you would think Jesus' brothers and sisters, raised in the same home with Jesus, would be most likely to become His followers early on. But they actually were in a group mocking him in one passage John 7:1-10 I believe. Are you familiar with the PK designation? "Preachers Kids"? Guess who...

    The Gate to Life

    I balk because the punishment lasts forever, just like heaven lasts forever. That's what it "says". Hmmm. How is it unjust? Giving Eve consequences for disobeying a command not even for her at all ... that would be unjust. How is eternal punishment unjust and eternal rewards are just? If...

    Hermeneutics: Interpreting Scripture

    If we receive a love of the truth and thus possess the ongoing fruits of those who are doing absolutely everything they can to discover their incorrect beliefs and alter them to fit what is being proven good/true, THEN, and only THEN is God seeking you and will guide you into the truth ...

    Jesus' Methodology for verifying beliefs, responses, doctrines, ... are "Incorrect"

    This took a while to think through... but ... those who receive a love of the truth are continuously in the process of seeking, knocking, asking, proving all things over, and over, and over again, and are always altering their beliefs to fit what is being proven good/true. And God promises to...

    The Gate to Life

    Mat 25:46 "These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." The same exact words are used in the same exact sentence, and you are saying they have a completely different meaning. "Eternity" means something different, in the same sentence. Really...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    Eve was told complete lies, and no commands were give to her by God except to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. That's it. Nothing at all further from God. If you disagree, prove it. Also, Eve was never commanded to obey Adam till as a consequence of the fall, thus she...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    Yes, and that was the serpents lie or deception. Eve wasn't promised this outcome if she ate at all. Not a single thing in God's command to Adam alone, applied to her. Again, if a command to one individual makes anyone else responsible to obey that command, show me where that is true. There are...

    Eve did not sin by eating of the tree.

    Gen 2:16 The LORD God commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die." True or False: This command is ONLY for Adam. If it's...

    Jesus' Methodology for verifying beliefs, responses, doctrines, ... are "Incorrect"

    We have been given enough to receive a love of the truth which always results in ongoing seeking, knocking, asking, proving all things over and over always holding fast to what is being proven good/true, ... which eventually will result in salvation and receiving the Holy Spirit. Luk...

    The Gate to Life

    I said, since eternity in hell, and eternity in heaven use the exact same words, both last for the same time. There is no "annihilation" after a particular period in time unless those receiving heaven also are annihilated at the same time. Scripture says both last the same time period...

    Hermeneutics: Interpreting Scripture

    "The Spirit of God teaches us concerning all things: 26 These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. 27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning...
