Antiquity. Nobody in the Bible, including angels, allowed anybody to worship them BUT Christ. Why do you suppose the Catholic church took a foundational Biblical concept, that of Christ being our Savior, and twisted it to being Mary, who was supposedly born perfect, immaculate, making her...

Great comment, and leads into other very important, yet controversial, concepts. Because Mary was a virgin, there is a measure of sin there that was not conveyed to Christ, BUT I believe we all, including Jesus, were born into sinful flesh. That is flesh that contains original sin and the...

... is the terminology that was given to the hijacked concept of Christ's miraculous conception. The only immaculate conception is the conception by God of Jesus Christ. So why did the Catholic church take that concept, remove the emphasis upon the one and only immaculate being that's ever...

That's funny you say that. Very likely possible. So much of that going on all over the internet these days.

Jesus was worshiped by more than the wise men ... ... and He also declared Himself to be THE Almighty. Amen.

Jesus shouldn't be worshiped? confused Are you aware you identify as Christian? Christians worship Jesus Christ. News?

Yes, I've heard a bit about him. The 'read more' link you posted doesn't work for me. (shocker) Must be some good information there. There are apparently a great many Americans who have discovered, and proclaimed, some version of an Anglo-Israel doctrine over the past couple centuries or so...

... an historical timeline overlap between the Anglo-Saxon race and the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel. The lost tribes went through a series of racial identities after leaving Assyria. They became the Gimri (Cimmerrians) and eventually the Scythians. While modern official archeological and...

I certainly didn't mean to break it. :doldrums:

Yes. I've actually seen that one before. Very similar.

Agree, I think it worked about as well as it possibly could under the circumstances of existing within a fallen world that has the variable of evil spirits constantly seeking cracks and weak points in the chain of individuals that made up the society. I think Israel at that time was in the best...

Chat-GPT is an A.I. program that can carry on rather intellectual conversations. While very intelligent, and educated, it is very interesting to note the profound biases programmed into this A.I. While discussing many controversial religious topics, the A.I. began to argue in favor of...

Ignoring the fact that your opinion of the 10 Commandments is debatable, this is a hypothetical scenario considering the effect that making the 10 Commandments the Law of the Land might have on society. In this scenario, the 10 Commandments would be a rule of Law that would be punishable by the...

Those who do not abide would be dealt with according to the punishments of Scripture. There was no government-run police force in the OT and that minority that "rebelled" were dealt with "by the people." Isn't that interesting? Where have we heard that phrase before? How is that going for...

I have had some interesting discussions with Chat-GPT, a free online A.I. chat program. It is impressively intelligent and well-educated on all topics. Not too shockingly, I have found it to be strongly biased against all things Christianity. Just for fun, I discussed this scenario with it...

If the 10 Commandments, and the punishments listed in the OT for crimes, were made the Law of the land, all of our problems in society would disappear. They wouldn't allow for dishonest business practices. They wouldn't allow for crimes of any kind against our fellow man. They would not only...

the catholic church has for a long time. not sure how Christianity has. but 'Christianity' is a very hijacked term. 'Churchianity' is what most see today as the modern mainstream "Faith" that you see in all the big churches and all over TV and radio, etc. It is not Biblical at all. true...

well, it's certainly a spiritual thing. all sin is. there were definitely harmful spirits around long before modern pornography. and I would also add that pornography could easily have been around, in one form or another, in ancient times. and probably was. especially since the spiritual...

not sure what you think will happen on the Last Day, but what God does to the devil, and those who have embraced the evil ways of his fallen world, may not seem very merciful to you. there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. it will be well-deserved and I hope I'm there to see it.

seriously? that's what you got outta this: "... I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven." Mt. 8:11
