When we get to heaven, and if God says there were VCR DVD or Digital records :) of all of the events recorded in the bible, playable from any angle and vantage point, which of the Bible stories would you choose to play first with your heavenly issued VR headset?

I am posting this topic because of the chatroom question raised over Jonah in the belly of the fish, and all of the surrounding debate around this. I believe the bible can be taken literally in terms of what transpired. Lets analyse these verses: Jonah 1 17 Now the Lord had prepared a great...

Hebrews 10 26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. >Willfully living and continuing in sin is seen as...

APOSTASY Galatians 5 1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. 2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. 3 And I testify again to every man who becomes...

I see there is a lot of debate about faith (your faith, or God's faith, etc). So let's open the topic. Faith: Who is responsible for exercising it?

1 Corinthians 15 34 Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame. This verse should settle the whole matter of these endless debates in the Church. There should be no doubt that this is addressed to the Church. Not unbelievers...

My personal position is that I don’t follow any TULIP acronym. In fact I refuse to put biblical principles into a nice neat box of easy to understand principles. Reason: I think that many have been led astray by a Fast-Food version of the scriptures, and the risk to a person seeking out the Lord...

Romans 7 7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.” 8 But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all...
