So God in His infinite wisdom chose a psychopath as His choice to rule?

Mike,What do you believe this scriptures means then? Psalm 115:16 (NIV) 16 The highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth he has given to mankind.Blessings brother – Wm

If satan has dominion then why did he have to get permission to touch Job. Are you advocating that the permission he got to attack Job was a blanket permission for the next few thousand years to all of man?Wm

I take it literally that Jesus died on what to us is Wed. evening near sunset,(the very time that the lamb was slain for Passover). For the Israelites one day changed to another at sunset, so Jesus was dead starting with 24 hours of Thursday (annual Sabbath), 24 hours of Friday (prepared the spices and waited for the 3 day “seal” to expire), and…[Read more]

Mike,Your questioning on Psalm 133:2 I assume was in my response of “nearly 100% apply to me” Verse 2 is a comparison of how wonderful, how pleasing it is when God’s people all come together as one! (verse 1) which I do have some application within me. But just to be honest I did not go down the list verifying each item.Psalm 133:1 Oh, how w…[Read more]

Mike,Still kicking, just hard to focus on issues.Wm

I think nearly 100% apply to me one way or another.

Sure makes you realize how much we take having God's word for granted.Wm

terraricca,What scripture tells us that God took back the control He gave to man?Wm

Genesis 1:28Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
