    All Of Israel, Or Just A Remnant?

    This concept has bothered me for quite some time. Does anyone have any ideas of how we justify the two below, and apparently opposing concepts? Romans 9:27 NLT – “And concerning Israel, Isaiah the prophet cried out, "Though the people of Israel are as numerous as the sand of the seashore, only...

    Poll Regarding Paul & Romans 7

    Hello friends, I'm doing a bit of writing on the true character of Paul and would like to get a feel of the percentage of what Christians think about what Paul said of himself in the unbelievable Romans Chapter 7. Thanks!!

    God Abandoned The Gentiles?

    The below passage struck me as never before: Romans 1:24 NLT - "So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other's bodies." If I said that I abandoned my wife and my children, wouldn't this indicate that...

    I wrote a Letter to my Free Will

    Dear Free Will. I just wanted to let you know how much I am thankful for you. If not for you, God would be in control of me. And that would, well, just be awful, in fact, it would be hateful of Him if He took you away from me. I don’t know what I’d do without you. I mean, I wouldn’t be allowed...

    If the Law Protected the Jews . . .

    If the Law Protected the Jews . . . What then, happened to Gentiles if they committed the same sin that would require the death of the Jew? The Law was given so that when the Jews sinned, they could sacrifice an animal. Thus the animal died to spare the sinner's life. So again, what about the...

    Why Must Saul Suffer?

    Below, we will read that Saul, later named Paul, must suffer, though we are not given a specific reason for why. Would his suffering be, because of his persecutions that included the murder of Stephen? Or, will his suffering be a result of simply establishing the Christian Faith? Or, are there...

    Peter's Vision - Kill & Eat

    Is it possible that Peter's Vision also served as a purpose to get Peter to realize that he and the Jewish believers no longer need to follow the Jewish customs regarding what is and is not considered clean. He even stated that he had continued, to that day, following the customs of Moses since...

    When Was Jesus Sent To Earth?

    Was Jesus sent to Earth as a baby 2000 years ago? Or, has He been here since the world began, notably as the Tree of Life? John 17:5 NLT - "Now, Father, bring me into the glory we shared before the world began." I have never realized this passage until the last day or two. Unbelievable.

    "You will be held responsible for the murder of all godly people . . ."

    All opinions welcome . . . rude people, not so much. I'm not one for turning to commentaries, but would rather turn to people whom I can ask questions and clarify. Therefore, in the Scripture below, why will Jesus hold the current body of Jewish rulers and authorities responsible for the deaths...

    If Jesus Joined This Forum . . .

    When He began talking to you, would He find you to be more like His Disciple or like a Pharisee, Sadducee, and teacher of the Law?

    Free Will - A More Exhaustive Look

    As I have read through the Bible several times, I have logged the many passages that clearly show that God caused people and groups of people to think, act, and speak against their own will. And while a person may not change their view once I have offered all passages collected, a new...

    Were the Sons of God Responsible For This? - #2

    So, the last thread that I posted on this topic had an amazing video with evidence of mighty works performed on earth a long, long time ago. The below link to this next video is even more astonishing. After about 30 minutes, the host begins showing photos of ancient work that simply could NOT be...

    Come To Me

    This incredibly beautiful song was written by my former Worship Leader. Incredibly, I just re-united with him today through Facebook. Tears are gracing my cheeks as I write. This song is incredibly important. And I am so thankful that he wasn't angry for my uploading his music to my youtube...

    Were the Sons of God Responsible For This?

    If you're interested in Ancient Technology, this video will likely blow your mind. I love this stuff, and this video seems to be the best I've ever seen regarding ancient stone architecture. I would think that this technology falls in line with the days of the Sons of God mentioned in Genesis...

    An Example of the True Gospel of Jesus Christ

    Can you pinpoint the verses that have been combined to tell of this incredible story? "For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to...

    He Who Spares His Rod Hates His Son

    Proverbs 13:24 NKJV - "He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly." Surely, I can't be the only one here who is mystified by this passage. Is there a Biblical example of a child being beaten into Righteousness? I've read the Bible several times and I...

    Watching The UFC - Is It Wrong?

    Romans 12:18 NKJV - "If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men." There is one "rule" in this thread, and it is that we would come together and offer our ideas. We do not belittle or berate. In this thread, we must talk to one another with the Love of Christ...

    Ask In The Name Of Jesus And It Will Be Given

    John 14:13-14 NLT - "You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!" Friends, I'm wondering what you might think of Paul when he prayed that the Lord would remove the "thorn" in his...

    Sheol

    It is essential (to me) that I understand this concept (Sheol) and how it relates to the below text/Scriptures. So much of what I know about the Gospel revolves around the idea that I am trying to get to the bottom of below. If I am wrong, my bones will shudder out of false teaching. And it is...
