Where is the scripture on that? I can't find any scripture that clearly says that all angels have never had the ability to choose. It just doesn't make sense that Satan and a third of the angels were always evil, and God knew it, yet He acted like they were just like all the other angels, and...

I was hoping you were using the real definition of "catholic" church, and not the generally understood meaning of the Roman Catholic Church.

...and all of our lives are not really real, but we're just a dream within the mind of Charles Darwin's cryogenically frozen head. :) Meanwhile, for those of us who believe the Bible is literal...

Yeah, I don't really know how to explain that. I guess there have to be exceptions to the Hebrews 9:27 rule. Heb 9:27 And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, There have to be exceptions in the case of the miraculous, because of all of the people in...

Well I'm done arguing with you. But I do want to point out that you put words in my mouth. Not once did I say "church". I said "the Body of Christ". If you equate the Body of Christ with church membership, then that's your problem. The Body of Christ is made up of everyone who is born again. Why...

Coveting is not rebellion, but planning to usurp the throne of God is rebellion. That's a lot more like a rebellion than deception. You can't cry "bad theology" when there are obviously different viable interpretations. The devil was already a deceiver, which means he was already evil. The devil...

Me too. I came here hoping to find some fellowship and encouragement, and found a big fight. I'm kind of feeling like God is calling out to His people to begin to desire unity because we're getting closer to the end. Unity in the Body of Christ is kind of like a "camel walking through the eye of...

In my opinion, there is more evidence for Moses than Enoch. It's true that Enoch didn't die, and that it's appointed once to die and then the judgment. But then there are the facts that Moses was at the transfiguration, and the Witness's power was to turn water into blood. It just looks more...

I also believe in the Gap Theory. In verse 1, God created the heavens and the earth. In verse 2, the word "was" is also translated "became" a lot of times, which would say, "The earth became formless and void". The gap between verses 1 and 2 could be millions or billions of years, with the rest...

Whatever He said, He definitely meant, even if we don't fully understand it. The Greek word means "cut off". It's possible He could have meant that if it was left open ended, no one would survive, so for the sake of the elect, God is going to cut it off before it gets to that point, the 7 years...

Not at all. Someone said, "You can't expect a dog not to bark, and you can't expect a sinner not to sin." I just find it disturbing that we're being railroaded into accepting this garbage. The thing that really upsets me about this particular session is that a lot of those people are probably...

That's why we need to work all the harder to love each other and not fight doctrine in an unhealthy way. It's ok to discuss your beliefs, but when feelings get in the way, it's gone too far. The only real thing that matters is: John 14:6 Jesus *said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the...

Did you notice that every time it talks about predestination and foreknowing, it speaks in plural terms and never individual, and it's done "in Christ"? It's talking about the body of Christ, not individuals. Also, it says we're predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, not that we're...

What do you mean by that. Are you implying that bestiality, incest, and prostitution are acceptable?

One glaring thing the study didn't take into account is how many of those people are ashamed of what they have done, and how many of them did things out of desperation (especially being paid for sex). This study assumes that everyone who participates in deviant sex thinks that it is ok, and that...

AMEN! We need to be able to look past our theological differences and truly love our brothers and sisters in Christ. John 13:35 "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." It's a lot more important that God's children start acting like His body...

Rom 5:6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. Rom 5:7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. Rom 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners...

Or just to be safe, just celebrate Passion Week. ;)

Wow. That's really stretching it to try to prove a man made tradition. I suppose you could be right. I suppose as long as the Bible is true, it doesn't matter if my interpretation of which day Jesus was crucified is right or if yours is. I make a motion, just to be safe, that we all get...

I agree with almost everything you said. But the difference is that I believe that the serpent was a beautiful creature before it was cursed. I don't think the serpent was detestable in appearance at all, until it was cursed. I also think that it must not have been abnormal for animals, at least...
