Would you consider television the "image of the beast" as foretold in Revelations? Because I do. I have believed this since I was 18 years old- even though after a brief period of trying to convince my family and friends of this I drifted off to sleep and universalism. It was easy to do, ...

Judas Maccabeus wrote:Could someone explain to me why this person HAD a gun in the first place. He was clearly mentally ill, and a danger to himself and society.

J.M.

That is an extremely good question...

I don't have anything intelligent to say about this other than the fact that I have owned various firearms in my life and have never once felt compelled to carry one into church and would not want to live anyplace where I felt that was necessary. Same thing for schools and restaurants and every oth...

George, something for us to think and discuss. Moved it here so it could be discussed a little better. I also, while naming the new thread had to designate which church shooting in Texas.

Long hair in that culture was referring to the waist length hair that women wore. What men wore in those days, t...

When we live under the law we can't have the forbidden thing. When we are dead to the law and live in the Spirit we learn to not want the forbidden thing. Christian liberty sets us free from the bondage of self and sin so that we can obey God because we love Him and want to obey because of that lov...

Sounds like a good discussion. Lead on O fearless leader...

I agree, if I understand you correctly, that our actions need to come from a 'want to' that is the result of a new heart and the on-going renewing of our mind. Jesus said - “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am g...
