Re: Milk vs. Meat

I fail to see how Celestial flesh teachings provoke murder, strife, and wickedness. Many Christians are falling into a trap that Jesus Christ was not from the lineage of Mary, that his flesh was not linked to hers. This would be a deep deep heresy. I was speaking more towards the early church histo...

Re: Milk vs. Meat

Jesus did command this, after His resurrection, in His instructions to His followers: "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you alwa...

Re: When are we lying ?

Then there is Jesus with the two disciples, when He knew He was going to stay a while with them: And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further . [Luk 24:28 KJV] But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and ...

Re: Anabaptist

A Baptist friend once told me that they claim lineage to the Anabaptists. I don’t remember much detail, and I doubt it is widespread in those circles. I just remember him saying that. I believe it is widespread - every Baptist I know claims that. It doesn’t mean they know what that means but they c...

Re: When are we lying ?

And then there's Rahab who actually did lie which saved Jews and made her noteworthy. As in a hero so to speak. ...in the case of Rahab, it seems it is looked upon as it was the right thing to do and saved her as well- She made the faith chapter, proving her faith by her works, when great people yo...

Re: Evangelism, Empathy, and Christian Nationalism...

Sure, if you limit the frame of reference to one's own lifetime you can paint a different picture than if you take into account a broader scope. Things change over time, but history tends to be cyclical. Right, to quote a Bible college professor from my academic days--"the pendulumic propensit...

Maybe God allowed polygamy to show us that it does not work. Remember Abram's wife Hagar.

Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman Gal. 4:30

You can't blame the deaths of millions of people who died in the Flood on humans. Almighty God, the Creator did that. Surely you aren't calling Him a mass murderer?

Re: Today ...

My friend Carlos in Pennsylvania is asking for prayer for his parole hearing tomorrow. He admits to being a horrible person back at the time of his crime before he came to the Lord. He writes, "I did get to see pre parole and that was something. It was really hard for me to speak about my crime...
