    Biblical Taxation

    This OT section of the Hebrew Bible gets interesting. "We want a king." "I gave you judges." "We want a king." It's a little like when they wanted a gold cow. King David was not a very good person. What Commandments didn't he break? The only thing Jesus said about governments is we should...

    I’m struggling

    What is required is faith. The most difficult thing for me was to accept that I was forgiven. Once that happens, everything else falls into place.

    The Church started in the wilderness

    Moses is credited with writing the first five books. Genesis was a collection that was passed down for Generations verbally. Some of the events may have been written out, but no signs exist that they were. I do not hold a literal view of the Bible. Errors do exist with scripture. Time, as we...

    WHO IS BABYLON/HARLOT IN REVELATION?

    What does Jesus have to say about your concern with the end of time? Do not concern yourself! I question whether Revelation should be in the Bible.

    Ye Olde Republican Safe House

    If you are like-minded it would be impossible to have a debate.

    President Biden mocks our Catholic faith (Catholics & Trinitarians Only)

    If Biden put Christianity into a blender, what has Trump done, run the entire Bible through a shredder? I wonder how many commandments the people making these statements are breaking? The only correct applicant the USA complies with is putting "In God we Trust," on currency.

    What is pulling America Apart?

    Here is where we need an immigration lawyer. We have two different groups of illegals: those we know and those we don't know. Decades ago immigration laws were not enforced. A new term was introduced, WOP. (With Out Papers) You would be amazed by the number of illegals who came into the US...

    What is pulling America Apart?

    I don't think a Christian Forum is the place for discussing Christian matters, but I will attempt to answer your post. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit" (John 3:6). Governments are earthly and, as such, have nothing to do with...

    A willingness to save as many as will believe

    Salvation is by Faith, but we need to define Faith. Faith is far more than an acknowledgment. Paul tells us: "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1 Verses 2-38 provide many examples of the Faith that is necessary and closes with...

    A willingness to save as many as will believe

    Rather than using verses, which didn’t exist until 1550 AD, we need to read all that applies on the subject, a teaching. Teaching in the Villages Luke 13:22-35 And He was passing through from one city and village to another, teaching, and proceeding on His way to Jerusalem. And someone said to...

    Bible Version

    Bibles exist in different forms: Word-for-Word, Meaning-for-Meanings, Thought-for-Thought, and Paraphrase. A chart exists that rates different versions by the accuracy of translation into English. The American Standard Bible. I use the New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB1995). It was...

    Disciples of Christ - The first non denominational church?

    While searching for a study, I found an article from the Reformation Bible College; Early Denials of Christ’s Deity. The Council of Nicaea in 325 declared the deity of Jesus. I believe it was Jerome that wrote the definition. It did not cure the problem. A significant decline appears to have...

    Thoughts on faith or works based salvation?

    Salvation is by Faith, but we need to define faith, realizing your state and Repentance are necessary. Jesus tells us we must be born again and the gift is a different attitude that allows you to respond to the things some call works or Good deeds, Conversion brings about a change. “If you...

    Thoughts on faith or works based salvation?

    I have five questions I would like to have answered? 1 What is a Christian? 2 What position should God hold in your life? 3 What is the faith a Christian should hold in Jesus? 4 What ie re-birth? 1 What is a Christian? The word Christian appears in the Bible three times, A Acts 11:26 “and...

    Is the Old Testament relevant to the modern-day Christian?

    Most references to the Old Testament appear to be directed to the Jews to offer them a bridge to follow Jesus. It is necessary to know the how and why, and to whom the writing is directed. Matthew's Gospel was written to Jews and used Old Testament events and beliefs to provide aid in...

    God hates me and I hate proof

    This is a limit you put on Jesus. “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." I know a person that made the FBI list at the age of 19. Jesus paid the price for Him, just as He has for all of us. The Bible Study I'm putting together is titled: Excuse...

    God hates me and I hate proof

    A problem with many churches is that they are so busy trying to attract or hold members and forget the needs of new members. I had found myself asking, What now? I believe this is where you are now. May I ask what you were expecting to happen? Read John 3:1-15 You may be experiencing the...
