I am not jumping on the bandwagon as if to accuse Jesus of something bad.I have always wondered why we said that He was sinless.If anyone else in those times had broken even the least of the laws of God,they would have been cast as a sinner. And probably stoned to death to boot.But Jesus worked on the sabbath, He refused to follow the law of…[Read more]

Hi stu,The KJV is the version that I use the most.The KJV translates thou shalt not kill in every instance except one in Mathew.In that verse the same word that was always translated as kill was changed to murder.There is another word, ratsakh, that is translated murder in most of the rest of the NT.That word is not used in the “thou shalt nots”.Tim

Quote (theodorej @ Aug. 30 2008,02:15)Stoning was the means available in biblical days,we have the means to meet out justice in a much more humane fashion today….In the OT God gives instruction on adminstrating justice….(eg. eye for an eye,any one who wantedly murders will give up his life in return,etc…..)Hi Theodore.I think you have got it…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ Aug. 29 2008,22:03)With regards to slavery the scriptures talk of conduct of slaves and masters.Has anyone who condemns the bible because they think it is promoting slavery actually thought for one minute that the God is realistic as to what is happening on earth and offers advice given the circumstances that are actually mans…[Read more]

Quote (kejonn @ Aug. 28 2008,23:01)Anyone here know why the Southern Baptists were formed?The Northern Baptists from Michigan moved to Florida.Tim

Quote (seekingtruth @ Aug. 28 2008,12:38)I believe that God establishes guidlines for how to handle items which He Himself is against, He knows due to the hardness of heartsmen will do these things.Why didn't God just make law 614, thou shalt not have slaves?Tim

Quote (Stu @ Aug. 26 2008,20:28) If it really is a gift, why should there be clauses attached?StuartHi Stu,Only to insure that the gift is really being used for it's intended purpose. Not to support the ruling class or army.Tim

Quote (Stu @ Aug. 24 2008,16:03)Not3 you might like to list some of the non-religious ones so we can know that the money is not being wasted on spreading 'the word' but is going as efficiently as possible to actually helping people in need.StuartHi Stu,I have to partially agree with you.When someone gives money to a church, 90%of the money goes to…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ Aug. 22 2008,23:05)Jesus settled it when he replied “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I am!”Hi T8,Actually the word born was added.What he actually said was “before Abraham was I am”Which is poor sentence structure to say the least.Wasn't God called the great I am?What if the comma was put after Abraham.Could Jesus have…[Read more]

I am curious.Does being allowed in the believers place mean that you believe in God and Jesus, or that you believe in the bible?Tim

I am afraid that I tend to agree with kejohn.I too was a dumb happy CHristian for most of my life.I sat and listened to what the preacher had to tell me and wassatisfied. About two years ago I started to really study the bible from cover to cover.I was dissolutioned and dissapointed. The God that I was readingabout did not sound anything like the…[Read more]

Just look at the debates on pre-existence and the Trinity.How can so many Jesus loving, God fearing Christians be ledin to different beliefs by the Spirit.Which ones are being led astray by the spirit?And more importantly, how do they know, if they truly believe they are being taught by the Spirit?Tim
