    Major Distrust of Pentecostal and/or Charismatic Churches

    Major Distrust of Pentecostal and/or Charismatic Churches

    A purely personal observation. I have lived in the same county since 1989. In the 1990’s, I attended a Church of God of Anderson Indiana with a middle class, middle aged all white congregation many of which traced their families back to the covered wagons crossing the Great Plains to spread...

    Are babies sinners?

    They are not MY COMMANDMENTS. The baby has not violated MY Law. They are GOD’s Commandments and EVERYONE that does not obey them has violated GOD’s Law. I accuse them of nothing and YOU did not answer the questions. If the unborn obey God’s Law, then they are guiltless and if the unborn do...

    Are babies sinners?

    There are only two commands that need to be examined. 1. Does the unborn (and new born) child “LOVE THE LORD [HIS] GOD WITH ALL [HIS] HEART, AND WITH ALL [HIS] SOUL, AND WITH ALL [HIS] STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL [HIS] MIND”? 2. Does the unborn (and new born) child “LOVE [HIS] NEIGHBOR AS...

    Missing church to sleep in

    If you choose the right church, you can both attend and get a little extra sleep in at the service. ;)

    If paedobaptism were taught...

    Technically, Peter invented it in Acts 2 when he instructed them to REPENT and BE BAPTIZED. (I made the word joining Repent with Baptism as small as I could because I know that is a big deal to you ... but they are still linked together.)

    [Mat 5:19 NASB] 19 "Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others [to do] the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches [them,] he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Both are “in the kingdom of heaven”.

    TOBIT -by NathanH83

    1. That was just one of several points raised. 2. The grammar suggests that it was actually written in Aramaic and translated into other languages. Aramaic was the common language in the 2nd Century BC but not in the 8th Century BC. 3. Tobit quotes other scripture written after the 8th...

    TOBIT -by NathanH83

    Tobit was written in Aramaic in the 2nd Century BC and later translated into both Greek and Hebrew. Until the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the only copies of Tobit were in Greek. Now we have fragments of the Aramaic and Hebrew translation that confirm the general accuracy of the Greek...

    John the Baptist beheaded

    [Matthew 5:10-12 NASB] "Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are you when [people] insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. "Rejoice and be glad, for your...

    TOBIT -by NathanH83

    Sure ... Tobit was written in the 2nd Century BC describing events in Nineveh shortly after 722 B.C. That means that Tobit was not written by Tobit, but by someone living 500 years later. Would you trust a brand new book written by Martin Luther himself in the year 2000? Tobit 1:15 states...

    Sexual Orientation: Nature or Nurture?

    But people are not holding a “Drunk Pride Day” or an “Alcoholic, Smoker and Drug User Parade” with anyone suggesting that drunkenness or drug abuse might be wrong being charged with hate speech and sued out of business for failing to support drunkenness in your business. So SOCIETY has made the...

    The distinct persons of the Trinity

    [Luk 3:21-22 NASB] 21 Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus was also baptized, and while He was praying, heaven was opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came out of heaven, "You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased." All three...

    Not many identify the name of Jesus with forgiveness

    Meaningless for the reprobate. Not meaningless for the elect. The alternative is to deny the revelation of the Holy Spirit to our conscience and agree that the Cross was impotent for some and our salvation depends on Human choices rather than a Sovereign God’s ability to keep His promise.

    Not many identify the name of Jesus with forgiveness

    Let’s also be honest that a lot of people have reason to not feel forgiven ... a lot of people choose not to repent and some make excuses why it is not a sin needing repentance. The Pharisees didn’t associate Jesus with the forgiveness of their sins either. Should the two women married to...

    What do you think?

    Friedrich Nietzsche pursued that approach and ended up in madness while laying the foundation for most of the modern “anything but Christianity” cultural polytheism. So I hope you have better luck than your predecessors down that path.

    What do you think?

    The Scientific Method is useful for culling opinions on the Physical Universe based on empirical observation and data. One cannot gather empirical evidence of the Metaphysical to test theological opinions. So applying the Scientific Method to God is folly.

    Sexual Orientation: Nature or Nurture?

    I note that almost every homosexual, man or woman, sooner or later seems to come forward with a story of abuse at a young age. Lesbians report past rapes and gay men report some sort of dysfunctional home. Strictly from a Darwinistic Evolutionary perspective, homosexuality is a significant...

    The loss of virginity.

    “In your opinion, would you consider a rape victim a virgin if he or she was a virgin before the rape occurred?“ If she became pregnant, would you view it as an immaculate conception?
