    Is The Birds and the Bees a "fraud?"

    Are parents lying to their children with deceitful stories about the stork coming and the birds and the bees??? Just KIDDING! :D You all need to lighten up on the fairy tales. Nothing better to do than go after loving parents who have no intention of misleading their children away from God...

    There is NO proof text in scripture.

    God has confused all language at Babel--even all scripture...which has not been rescinded. Most of the debates here and many of the differences of belief and division among so-called Christians, are over the various translations of original languages that have been confused by God to make it...

    Death of the High Priest

    Joshua 20 The Cities of Refuge "20 The Lord also spoke to Joshua, saying, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Appoint for yourselves cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you through Moses, 3 that the slayer who kills a person accidentally or unintentionally may flee there; and they...

    Are you quoting scripture like Satan quotes scripture?

    If you are quoting scripture to debate a point against others quoting other scriptures, without reconciling the two scriptures -- you are quoting scripture just like Satan! If so, you are also documenting your own failure of the testing of every spirit (1 John 4:1), for God is not against...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Acts 1:11 "Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing...

    What is meant by "rightly dividing the word of truth?"

    2 Timothy 2:15 "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." I might just come right out and say what is meant, but perhaps we could hear what others say. What say you?

    "Doing" Church.

    Church is not a verb. I guess that is the reason I have a dislike for "doing" it--I love it, but "doing" or "playing" church, just rubs me the wrong way. Sometimes, it's so boring! But today I have a new appreciation for it. We're starting a study in First Thessalonians and Paul is winding up...

    Three (3) Advents?

    How absurd! Sorry if you have been mislead, but three "advents" by definition would be impossible. First the flesh, then the spirit--that's all. There is no third element or arrival.

    Just for....those who, well, not just for some, but for all who would love God.

    And there you have it from the Catholics...or some...of whom are "led by fallen, fallible humans" instead of the Holy Spirit sent by Jesus according to His promise. And that is the rift. That is what the Spirit has led men of faith and good conscience to break away from throughout the history...

    Has Jesus come in the spirit?

    Can I get a witness? Is He in you? Is Jesus in anyone? ...And, if Yes...do you know what the next question is?

    "We fight not against flesh and blood" is strictly New Testament!

    The point being... Why are so many during this day and age not on board with these spiritual times? Ephesians 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." Jesus was the Last of the...

    God "manifests" EVERYTHING.

    In direct contrast to God spiritualizing everything, God first manifests (makes externally known) everything. As it is written: Isaiah 42:9 "Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them.” Matthew 20:16 "So the last will be...

    God "spiritualizes" EVERYTHING.

    God is spirit. He is in the process of spiritualizing everything. Why then, is "spiritualizing" a bad thing for so many would-be christians? (Rhetorical) ...But hey, go for it. Try to rationalize for us why one would go against the very makeup of God. Let's hear it. God already knows who you...

    Christian Kooks - OMG!

    I suppose, no, scratch that. I am sure there are those who consider me a kook wearing the banner of Christian. But then again, even the people of God down through the ages thought the same of the legitimate prophets/messengers sent by God...and even killed them. So...as history has proven...

    Got your ears on?

    Much of the New Testament was not meant for all people, but only for “He who has an ear” to hear “what the Spirit says to the churches.” In other words, even that which is written was not to be heard or understood by everyone who reads it. But rather, that we have entered that time foretold of...

    "Why do you stand gazing up into heaven?"

    This passage comes up so often, and is so, so, misunderstood: Acts 1:9-11 NKJV Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in...

    Non-Biblical Religious Nonsense

    I guess this would be a "Buyer Beware!" message/discussion. Everyone has an opinion, everyone has the idea of equal access to information and all that is considered "fair" according to our modern society, and indeed these are the times of which it is written that God would pour out His spirit...

    "Another" Helper

    When you read of Christ sending "another" Helper...what comes to mind? "Another", in addition to whom? Most would automatically think Jesus meant another Helper in addition to Himself. After all...isn't Jesus an absolutely great helper? Well, of course! But He was not sent to "help" the world...
