I took it literally....

The Truth is Christ, not religion. Many denominations spin the truth, add to the truth, create their own books, their own prophets, and their own interpretation. Then they convince themselves that they alone possess the truth, but their 'truths' were derived through their own traditions. In the...

So your saying that anyone who believes in their constitutional right to own a gun is anti-Christian? I'm not a big fan of the NRA, but I'm relatively certain that they have members who are Christian. In a perfect world, we wouldn't need guns, but we don't live in a world where no bad people...

I'd agree, people don't lose their religion, their religion loses them. I'm convinced that if churches taught the bible, Christians wouldn't abandon their church. I also don't believe a person needs to attend a church or play religious to be a Christian.

Can I surmise that neither of you feel that David had any right to have a sling-shot? Self-defense is not non-Christian, there is nothing in the bible that forbids it. Jesus asked his disciples to get a couple swords, and what David did with a weapon was an act of faith, not a lack of faith. If...

I agreed with the juries verdict... "Stand Your Ground' doesn't legalize murder, it simply gives a person like Zimmerman the right to use deadly force to defend themselves when their own life is in danger. . When Trayvon Martin was slamming Zimmerman's head onto a cement sidewalk, he used deadly...

Satan rebelled, he wasn't always bad; Ezekiel 28:14-19, Isaiah 14:12-15

So your saying that when Eve ate of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, it was not her choice? If we are not allowed free choice, then we are all innocent and sin cannot be our fault. Therefore, I cannot be held accountable for sin, because I never had the freedom to sin. Sounds great, but...

Show me a bible verse that says God created sin? He did not create sin, there's a big difference between sin and evil. God created evil in the form of hardship, calamity, suffering, etc., but all of those evil things are ramifications of sin. Originally, everything God created was good, but...

Evil in that verse is the Hebrew 'ra', which the Strong's concordance defines as "adversity, affliction, bad, calamity". So God creates calamity in the sense that God created tornado's, hurricanes, tsunami's, etc.

No offense, but that sounds like nonsense to me. John is dead, there is no immortality in our flesh bodies, which is why none of us have ever seen any 2000 year old men. If it were true, perhaps a couple of the original disciples might stumble across this forum and be kind enough to answer a few...

"Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done" (Mark13:30 kjv). 'This generation' must be interpreted in the context of the subject, which was the generation that witnessed all the signs that would eventually come to pass. The disciples did not...

Well, I think your reading more into it than what's there, and interpreting it to say what you want it to say. The order of things are simple, it all happens at once. Unless there's an eight trump, the seventh trump has got to be the last one. It's when "you see the abomination of desolation...

It seems to me that Paul made it very clear with what he reiterated in his second letter to the Thessalonians; "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit...

Thanks, that makes sense and I understand that God doesn't need the sun to emanate light. I plan to relay that point to them. They are somewhat disgruntled with answers they've gotten because there's no biblical clarification. I believe they can be persuaded to be Christian, especially if they...

Many people believe the parable of the fig tree is also a prophecy (Mark 13:28, Matthew 24:32, Luke 21:29). Time will tell :)

I skimmed through 3 pages and found nothing helpful with regards to light on that thread. Some opinions saying that the sun and moon already existed, but just weren't giving off light yet? But Gen 1:16 clearly states that God made 2 great lights on day 4, so I'm assuming that the light mentioned...

I'm wondering if anyone knows where the light came from in Genesis 1:3? Actually, someone asked me about this today and I didn't have an answer, but I told them I'd try to find out. The folks asking are not Christian, but are thinking (searching) for answers in the bible, so I'd like to give...

From my pov, the first beast described in Revelation 13:1 rises from the sea. This sea represents multitudes of people (Rev 17:15). The 7 heads are mountains (Rev 17:9) which are symbolic of large nations. So where verse 3 states that one of the heads of the beast suffered a deadly wound, this...

I guess I don't interpret Zechariah 11:17 the same way, as being the resurrection of the antiChrist. This is John Gill's explanation; http://www.biblestudytools.com/commentaries/gills-exposition-of-the-bible/zechariah-11-17.html I simply believe the antiChrist will be Satan, and no, I don't...
