Without spending the time to analyze & address every scripture, I'm going to kinda go with option C in this order: A2/B2) Believe the gospel of the kingdom & have faith toward The LORD Jesus Christ and trust/believe the Gospel of The Grace Of God: His Death, Burial, And Resurrection, According...

I would say as you read through the new testament and a text tells you to do something then it is a commandment of Jesus. I also believe that we should obey old testament moral laws (laws ref justice, respect, and sexual conduct) individuals are told to follow including the 10 commandments. I...

Also - 1 John 2:3-6 “And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in...

I agree but I think Col 3:10 more than "encourages us" but rather commands us to become a new man as cross referenced in the scriptures below as well as others. Ephesians 4:23-24 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in...

Here's how I see it: And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth did pass away - This is after this earth and heaven has been destroyed. and the sea is not any more - all sin is gone. The sea typifies the sinful world (we are fishers of men pulling them...

Jesus identifies the problem in Matt 15:9 "But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men". Most traditions of men are not "bad"; it's probably a good idea to wash your hands before you eat, but if you were to teach that it is service to God you'd be lying...

Actually we are "saved" from nothing during life here. "Saved" refers to being saved from the future judgement of God that the world will incur, so if you are "saved" you really mean you "will be saved" on judgement day. Eternal life is rewarded for our works (Romans 2:6 - 2:10...

Deuteronomy 32:32 refers to "the vine of Sodom" which I believe is like the vine in Revelations 14. If I can soapbox a little: God is talking about Israel in Deuteronomy 32:32. Israel were God's people, so I think its a good warning for today's Christians to make sure we are part of the...

Revelation 1:1 "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:" The word "signified" is the key - signified means that Revelations is expressed by signs...

What did Jesus mean in John 17:9 "I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine." (read it in context here if you want) By your understanding, shouldn't he have prayed for the whole world?

What you're describing is the Contemporary Preaching Model which most churches have adopted. The external church, which is supposed to represent the bride of Christ, is now fornicating with the world. I believe Revelations talks about this time as explained in the end time study...

"All" does not always mean everyone. For example 1 Corinthians 15:22 , one verse with 2 "all"s: "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." in Adam all die (all people) in Christ shall all be made alive (all the saved - not all people) Which of the "All"...

The antichrist is Satan establishing his rule over the churches which have abandoned their marriage to Christ and have fornicated with the world. Satan's ministers were already active ~2000 years ago (1 John 2:18) and advance to a complete conquering of the churches in the end times. Some...

So I been doing some guitar fingerpicking of hymns, one of which is a plainchant that sounds awesome. I started looking at the earliest Christian hymns known to see what else is out there and learned of Ordo Virtutum, by Hildegard of Bingen, from about 1511. It's more of a concert than a song...

I think the Bible taken as it is written shows Saul wanting to kill David is out of jealousy and knowing that he can take the kingdom: 1 Samuel 18:8-9 And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have...

Love the story & a good reminder for us to remember what's important. 2 fundamental Christians in San Francisco...that's hilarious. (just kidding:))

I’ve never heard of “Israel’s kingdom program” or “the twelve in and the twelve-out positions” and didn’t read the external links so I may not be grasping your theology, butI believe that the Bible is clear that ALL believers are the “body of Christ”, so those apostles that were believers were...

I was watching a PG-13 movie the other day and heard the swear word “G.. D…” several times (as well as other cursing). I twinged inside a little bit because personally I’m careful about the 3rd commandment “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain”, and avoid terms like OMG, etc. but it...

You hear it all the time, people saying “God Loves You” to sinners and the cliché “God loves the sinner and hates the sin” but is it supported by the Bible? Yes, WE are commanded to “love our enemies” (Matt 5:44 & others), so WE should be loving towards sinners, but we read in Psalms 5:5 that...

Thank you for the insight, I took it to heart. It doesn’t change the validity of you point but the word “unseemly” in 1Co 13:5 & Rom 1:27 is not the same Greek word. The Corinthians term appears to be more general acting improper wherein the Romans term is more of shameful indecency. In 1Co...
