    How old is the earth?

    I have also asked this question. But God is a master illusionist, and if He wanted to trick us, He certainly could. And if He succeeds (which He always does) and we are fooled, that would only glorify Him, and we would have to praise Him for the success. But the question remains, why would He do...

    How Does Dismantling LBJ's Great Society Make America Great Again? (Ans. It doesn't.)

    I think people are genuinely concerned that young people (and their parents) are being hoodwinked into buying very expensive/useless degrees that lead to no job. Then, there is a move to ask taxpayers to pay off these unemployed college graduates' loans. The gullibility comes when students are...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    I think one of the biggest problems along these lines is the notion that Jesus and the gospel saved us from Hell and that was it. We need to recognize that the Gospel and the work of God in the resurrection of Jesus was to enable us to overcome sin due to the new birth. We are now able to do...

    How Does Dismantling LBJ's Great Society Make America Great Again? (Ans. It doesn't.)

    Please note that I never used the word "lazy," which you have in quotes, implying you are quoting me as saying that. I did say that many people enter a phase of hopelessness. I think the progress that can be seen may have involved factors other than the welfare state. Thank you for your response.

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    I understand what you are saying A112. But those people were never born again. They merely assented to His teaching as long as it benefited them. The first time something came up that they did not like, they hit the road. As John said: "They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if...

    How Does Dismantling LBJ's Great Society Make America Great Again? (Ans. It doesn't.)

    At some point, these programs, designed to assist people and get them back on their feet, did nothing but create ruts where people would rest and make a life of it. They were not designed to become a lifestyle. I heard a black man just the other day state that there is a growing consensus among...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    And no man leaves unless he was never part of us to start with. 1 John 2:19 KJV 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 2...

    New Here

    We used to have a prophetic section, which was pretty popular. I think people abused it with personal prophecies and such. Too bad. I thought it could be useful with certain rules set in place. I would like to see it start back up with rules in place. I have a certain gift in this area, and I...

    Does your bible form your theology or is it the other way around?

    Nice little test about your theology. In Hebrews 6, we see a list of "fundamental," "elementary," and "first principles of the oracles of God." These are the starting points. The section starts in 5:12 Hebrews 5:12-14 KJV 12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that...

    Most Christians say they would never vote for a Democrat, poll finds

    As long as they support the slaughter of the unborn and promote sodomy... There is no way I could ever vote for a democrat.

    I fear I will lose God forever

    That is pretty much par for the course hp777. We all struggle all our lives. I am 71 and have been a believer since 1971, 54 years. I still fight against sin. 1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV 13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer...

    New SCOTUS ruling on injunctions

    The decision was not about birthrights. It concerned a district court setting the law for the whole country. We do not have 677 Supreme Courts with the power to overrule the Federal government. These judges exceeded their reach, and the SCOTUS smacked them down for trying to do it.

    I fear I will lose God forever

    The question is: Do we think our sins are more powerful than the blood of our Lord Jesus, who died for us? Yes, strive to be better. But we are all in the same boat as you. We are hopeless without Jesus. He is our only hope.

    Unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you.

    Some fail to see that the lamb's body was also given for our physical healing. Some churches put it like this. "Healing is included in the atonement." A couple verses come to mind. 1 Peter 2:24 KJV 24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins...

    Hopeless

    I love this song... Amy Grant - Don't try so hard. It does not mean to give up. It means realizing and coming to grips with your human limitations and how God has chosen to deal with them. You have to endure the slings and arrows of your own imperfections and failings. But He has taken steps...

    You’re not a monkey's uncle

    Concerning the "monkey's uncle" emotional poke, as it would seem to seek to tempt the ego. Who wants to be the son of a monkey? Yet on the other hand, we know Adam was crafted from clay, dirt, mud, ashes. Is being a dirtbag any better than being an ape baby? Appealing to such emotional and...

    The Stone God Couldn't Lift: A Paradox

    I think the notion that "God can sin, but chooses not to" springs from a prevailing belief that sin (as well as righteousness) is a matter of free will, rather than divine nature. He does not sin, as you state, because it is not in His nature. Some see this as a weakness; that is, to say God...

    The Stone God Couldn't Lift: A Paradox

    This is a debate we have had with atheists. Hebrews 6:18 KJV 18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Not even possible. It is not in His nature. Also, when...
