Quote The man who had the greatest faith that Jesus had seen (to date) was a centurion.He was a centurion when he accepted the Christian message. And don't forget sergius paulus. We know nothing of them after that accpeting Christianity. The Scriptures do not tell us what Cornelius and others did after their conversion. No doubt Sergius Paulus,…[Read more]

Quote Hi david,Christ was apolitical.But you would give political advice to people of the world? Look a little closer nick. I'm doing exactly the opposite. My “political advice” as you put it is to suggest that Christians should be for God's government and not fighting sides in man's wars. Nick, I find that you misrepresent what I say more than…[Read more]

Quote I know that God determines the outcome of earthly warsWhile I believe the U.S. is playing it's role in prophecy, I don't believe that God cheers for soccar games or human wars. I believe he knew what would happen and prophesied certain things regarding nations, but I dont' believe God is on the battlefield. It is Satan that is on the…[Read more]

Have you seen the things the human heart has lead to?

Jesus once said something about fruits and how many would produce rotten fruitage and how these are false.I believe the Bible points to one particular bad fruitage:“The children of God and the children of the Devil are evident by this fact: Everyone who does not carry on righteousness does not originate with God, neither does he who does not l…[Read more]

Quote God determines the out come of earthly wars….If Jesus 3 times called Satan the “ruler of the world” and the book of Revelation says that Satan is “misleading the entire inhabited earth” and if 2 Cors called Satan the “god of this world” then I would say Satan is behind the horrific terror of war that we see and not God. Also, Satan…[Read more]

Hi Theodorej.I'm not actually quite sure what you are apologizing for. Or why you would be apologizing to ME. It's not really a “nerve” that you hit, it's just something that seems so obvious to me. And I don't know your exact situation, but when I see a priest on one side blessing his troups and a bishop on the other side blessing his side of…[Read more]

Quote Jesus, it seems, was neither a king nor a priest,Melchizidek, it seems, was neither a king nor a priest, that is, if one needs to be from a royal family and a line of priests to be a king or a priest. Yet, he was.”And Mel·chiz′e·dek king of Sa′lem brought out bread and wine, and he was priest of the Most High God.”The Bible does not give t…[Read more]

Quote Jesus, it seems, was neither a king nor a priest, so I'm not certain where that leaves him. The Bible book of Hebrews points out that Jesus Christ, since his resurrection and entry into heaven, is “a high priest according to the manner of Melchizedek forever.” (Heb 6:20; 7:17, 21) The first priest mentioned in the Bible is Melchizedek, who…[Read more]

So…the Ron people are gone then?

Quote So, how can we understand these since the New Testament says that circumcision andSabbaths (Rom. 14:5-6; Gal. 4:9-11; Col. 2:16-17) are no longer necessary?We can understand it by understanding the meaning of that Hebrew word and translating it a little more accurately as “time indefinite” rather than “forever” as many Bibles do.david

Quote Hello all,I'm jumping in here and wanted to add some thoughts so here goes:Does Exodus 31 say that the Sabbath is “forever?” Yes“forever” is an english word. Exodus 31 does not say “forever.” While it is true that the word that is often translated “forever” does frequently mean that, it is not the actual meaning of the word nor does the…[Read more]

I'm deleting this post because I posted it twice.

And for those that don't like reading:“Christ is the end of the Law.” (Rom. 10:4; 6:14, 15) Hence, are no longer bound to make animal sacrifices, pay tithes, be circumcised or keep the Sabbath. The apostle Paul wrote: “By means of his flesh he abolished . . . the Law of commandments.”—Eph. 2:15.The phrase “the Law and the Prophets” refers to the…[Read more]
