It could even be that pastors who refuse to marry the homosexual or businesses that don’t bow to them could be fined or eventually imprisoned.

Let us pray it doesn’t come to this! it means our religious freedom is being taken away.

@Grasshopper
Do you think it is a sin to have the habit of smoking? If not, how does it help your body?

@Grasshopper
Denominations are going to be dispelled when the truth is clear but until then, there are going to be different understandings on particular doctrines such as baptism. Is baptism for the believer of for the believer and their infants, for example. Sometimes we just aren’t sure on the specifics. All that will be cleared up in time. Let…[Read more]

My pleasure 🙂

Prayering for your Liam!

@GeneBalthrop
You have probably realized it by now, but your post that you addressed to me was meant for @Grasshopper. I’m glad that your son was given the victory!

I have 5 children and today my youngest turned 18 so, in a sense my husband and I have “graduated” to another chapter…no more young children! The LORD has richly blessed us and has…[Read more]

@Grasshopper

I will pray for your situation and will ask my family to pray too.

🙂

@Grasshopper
I pray that you and your family, especially Sebastian, will find a peaceful and affective solution to those very difficult matters. I can’t even imagine what you must be going through. May God direct your paths and shed light on your situation in the powerful name of Jesus.

@Grasshopper,

Read the WHOLE STATEMENT I made AGAIN (tsk tsk tsk) .. and you will see the word LEARNT mentioned several times!!

We did not LEARN SCRIPTURE from Google searches, DVD’S, churches etc etc etc.

WE did not LEARN that way .. LEARN .. LEARN .. LEARN.

SO now I have honestly answered you, please honestly answer me ..

Do prophecies only…[Read more]

@Grasshopper,

Read the exact wording in my statements before I asked that question to you and you will see that there is no hypocrisy at all .. and that you only saw what you wanted to see whilst burning in your hatred.

What does it say about opening one’s mouth before hearing (understanding) a matter?

THEN, if you are competent enough to HEAR…[Read more]

@Grasshopper

Do prophecies only occur in the minds of men or do they occur in the real world?

@Grasshopper

Read Jeremiah chapter 44

Notice how as soon as the message is not to their liking, the accusations spew forth .. again!!

And look at you all .. scriptural enemies (because none of you agree with each other anyway) banding together to resist a message that not only none of you can discredit / disprove, but a message that none of you…[Read more]

John 1
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5The Light shines in the darkness, and the…[Read more]

Glad you are following along but this is a private debate…you aren’t supposed to post in a private debate unless you are one of the two who are debating, sorry. Thanks for respecting that 🙂

@Grasshopper
This is a private debate, sorry. Thanks for respecting that.

@Grasshopper

Thank you. Yes touching..seeing that homeless man cry because a stranger showed him compassion when he didn’t even ask for it.

@Grasshopper

You asked me to give you reason as to why I believe that the church is the bride of Christ. Here is a passage from Isaiah that it is a group of people that is the bride, that which YHWH marries. YHWH here is the YHWH of hosts from Isa 8 that 2 Peter identifies as Jesus.
Isaiah 62
1For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for…[Read more]

@Grasshopper
you said:

How exactly do you think that we are going to attend the wedding feast as invited guests and ALSO be the bride? How do you, personally, explain that phenomenon?

If you are referring to Matthew 22, this passage is about becoming part of the kingdom of heaven. The Jews were invited first, many rejected the gospel-refusing…[Read more]

@grasshopper
In this passage we see that the church is presented to Christ after being washed of water by the word, sanctified and cleansed. The church and Christ become one body like a man and wife become one flesh. The man does, in that sense marry his own body.

Eph 5:25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave…[Read more]
