    Tell me why...

    I don't think most Christians condemn homosexuals, they just believe homosexuality is a sin. Not endorsing a life style is not condemnation. I personally tell people to read the bible and interpret it for themselves, because what I think doesn't matter, what God said is all they ought to be...

    JOKE!!

    I went to see my Imam for some domestic counseling on marital discord. He gave me a bucket of rocks!!. Seems a little backward--but--Very Effective!! A young Muslim kid can't find his mother in the supermarket. The store attendant says 'What does your mother look like? The kid says "How the...

    Why did you start believing?

    I personally don't believe Noah's flood was worldwide, but a regional flood which affected all the earth relating to Noah's people, those of the adamic seedline. It was a huge deluge, but the entire world was not submerged in water. Therefore, Noah did not collect every animal known, but only...

    The One World Religion

    The one world religion will likely consist of the sea of people who support the beast. Muslims will worship who they believe to be Allah, Atheist will be convince by the beast, and Christians will worship who they presume is the return of Christ. All will whore after the beast, the great...

    Why did you start believing?

    Prophecy, it was a convincing factor that helped me to believe. Prophecy presented evidence that the bible was true and not just a bunch of concocted ancient fairy tales.

    The "HE" of Daniel 9:27

    I believe Daniel 9:27 is referring to the anti-christ. In verse 26, "prince" is not capitalized as it is in vs 25 where its referring to Christ (Messiah the Prince). The anti-christ (prince) will pretend to be Christ, confirming the new testament covenant, but mid-tribulation, he will cause the...

    is the Door for the rapture about to close before 2020-Vision

    The gospels were written by the apostles for us, Matthew 24:34 is the summation of the subject, which began in Matthew 24:3. Thus, the generation being referenced has not passed because its the generation that proceeds Christ's second coming.

    The end of the world? Not so fast.

    It doesn't say that everyone will hear the gospel, just that it will be proclaimed throughout the world. I believe it has, nearly everyone on earth knows who Jesus Christ was. Consider how technology has perforated nearly every country via satellite, internet, etc. Even Muslims are familiar with...

    Christ preaching to spirits in days of Noah.

    Thanks, that makes sense and is how I understood it. Some think the spirits in prison were fallen angels, but it doesn't make sense that he would waste time proclaiming victory to those who have already been condemned to perish. That verse in 1 Peter 4:6 seems to cement what was being addressed...

    Christ preaching to spirits in days of Noah.

    But doesn't his victory over the devil entail saving grace? If the spirits in prison were lost, why would Christ proclaim his victory over sin to them unless he had a specific purpose? I suspect it involved more than bragging, I think these 'disobedient' were presented an opportunity that wasn't...

    Mitt Romney

    I don't think Obama stole it, I think he bought it :) I think Romney was right about his comment; "47% aren't going to vote for me no matter what". Old Proverb: Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. 2012 Updated Revision: Give a...

    Christ preaching to spirits in days of Noah.

    As mentioned in the parable of Lazarus and the rich man (Luke 16:19-31), I believe the spirits in prison are the ones in Hades, on the other side of paradise. These lost souls (spirits in prison) were the disobedient from the beginning until the time of Christ, they never knew or had an...

    Sin?

    I think its important to distinguish the difference between sin and evil. God did not create sin, it originated with us. Imo, evil is the direct or indirect consequence of sin. A&E sinned when they were disobedient to God, evil was experienced as a result of eating from the Tree of Knowledge of...

    Is masturbation wrong?

    Guilt comes in many forms, its not necessarily generated from sin or the result of sin. A Catholic might feel guilty for not eating fish on Fridays, but I doubt God considers it a sin? Yes, but adultery is yet another subject. A person who masturbates is not necessarily lusting after a...

    Is masturbation wrong?

    Pornography was not the issue either. And I respectfully disagree with your interpretation of masturbation as idolatry. Fornication is sex outside of marriage, its a sin of the flesh for a physical act. Desiring sex is neither a sin or idolatry, its a normal instinct that God gave to everyone...

    Is masturbation wrong?

    God created sex, it isn't sin, but a natural impulse, attraction, and biological function. Adultery and fornication are sin, but sex and sexual attraction are normal. I think comparing normal sexual desires to idolatry, sin, or a dirty deed, scares young people away from the Truth. Telling...

    Some anxiety questions concerning Christianity

    No, God doesn't punish people prior to judgement, however we inevitably reap what we sow. God does correct those he loves; "For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth" (Proverbs 3:12)

    Is masturbation wrong?

    The bible doesn't say anything against it. I think its a natural way to release sexual tension. Its normal to have sexual desires, especially when hormones begin running wild, so imo its nothing sinful or anything to feel guilty about. God created us with natural attraction toward the opposite...
