I’ll stick with the Bible!

‘eres H776, same word as Gen. 1:2 [Gen 1:2 KJV] 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. I checked further by entering the quoted verse in several different versions, they also use the...

Did you read the last part? This text does not say Jerusalem and Judah, it says the Earth. Jerusalem represents God's people through all ages. Where else will this prophecy fit except after the second coming of Jesus? [Jer 4:23-27 KJV] 23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, [it was] without form...

Paul said a bit about that, here are a few of my favorites: [2Ti 2:15 KJV] 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. [Heb 4:12 KJV] 12 For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged...

“Ye are the light of the world.”—Matthew 5:14. Christ's followers are to be more than a light in the midst of men. They are the light of the world. Jesus says to all who have named His name, You have given yourselves to Me, and I have given you to the world as My representatives. As the Father...

Nor read less into it: Jerusalem has always represented the kingdom of God, Babylon the satanic counterfeit beginning at the tower of babel and ending in Revelation: [Rev 18:1-24 KJV] 1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was...

The wicked will be dead during the 1000 years and when they are resurrected to face the final judgement they will face the second death. The scripture quoted below is self explanatory: [Jer 4:19-31 KJV] 19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I...

“Ye are the light of the world.”—Matthew 5:14. As Jesus taught the people, He made His lessons interesting and held the attention of His hearers by frequent illustrations from the scenes of nature about them. The people had come together while it was yet morning. The glorious sun, climbing...

All of the research I have done leads me to believe that these are just labels of very similar characteristics that allow people to define a person’s current status in terms of their personal ideology. This may be helpful in choosing a church or a spouse but would be woefully inadequate in...

I don’t disagree with your statement as it relates to abortion, however I have often wondered “How about the death penalty?” My thought is that execution may stop a person who is responding to the guidance of the Holy Spirit before they have fully repented.

Ah, the origin at last. The pope is not qualified to criticize a Bible believing Christian. I choose to follow Jesus.

“Ye are the salt of the earth.”—Matthew 5:13. Salt is valued for its preservative properties; and when God calls His children salt, He would teach them that His purpose in making them the subjects of His grace is that they may become agents in saving others. The object of God in choosing a...

These are the the characteristics of the church of Laodicea: [Rev 3:14-22 KJV] 14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot...

Don’t leave, you added to the discussion.

Can you supply further information about you conversation? I am interested in the origin of the idea, when I think about it there could be several unique ideas. 1). Stationary as in letters and the exchange of letters is the first type of Christian activity I thought of, the letters of Paul...

That’s atheism, idolatry in one of its many forms.

“Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you.”—Matthew 5:11. Ever since his fall, Satan has worked by means of deception. As he has misrepresented God, so, through his agents, he misrepresents the children of God. The Saviour says, “The reproaches of them that reproached Thee are fallen upon Me.”...

I would hope that the two lumps of coal list is very small.

“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”—Matthew 5:10. Jesus does not present to His followers the hope of attaining earthly glory and riches, and of having a life free from trial, but He presents to them the privilege of walking...
