    conspiracy and corruption...

    In America, those who feel abortion is wrong are now a minority, so you just shot yourself in the foot with that comment. You have sided with the majority. How convenient. You are not going by what the Bible says. If you were, you would not have to continue to paint anyone who disagrees with...

    2020 A better choice?

    Please explain exactly what Trump has done for Christianity.

    2020 A better choice?

    If God did not know, beforehand, exactly what was going to happen with Saul, then God is not omniscient.

    2020 A better choice?

    No, it is not. When confronted with two choices and both are bad, it is only a complete fool that actually chooses one. The secular world has no moral mandate to make a moral choice, since morals are unimportant to them. A Christian doesn't get that pass. SpoonJuly didn't say he voted for no...

    Speaking in Tongues: Its Origins [Ancient and Modern], Purpose, and Power

    You play a race card in the very first post? Really? The Assemblies of God, which is a Pentecostal denomination teaches people about William Seymour in their seminaries and Bible colleges, so your statements are inaccurate, at best. Statements of "then white leadership took over" are always...

    conspiracy and corruption...

    The millstone reference may not be the best you could use, but the one you gave in Jeremiah earlier is. It clearly says God, Himself forms a person, and that He knows them before they even exist. Jeremiah 4:4-5 The word of the LORD came to me, saying, 5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew...

    The problem of being rich

    I don't know if my answer to your questions will make sense or not, depending on your own experience and perspective. Do I believe that the gifts have ceased? No. But there are certain ones that I can simply see no need for in the 21st century, such as tongues. There simply isn't a need for...

    conspiracy and corruption...

    Unless you are a Mormon, no, our souls do not exist before we are born. We are not body-less souls drifting around wait for a "host" body. Our souls come into existence when we are conceived. The fact that abortion is murder in God's eyes, and should be seen as murder by every person who...

    The problem of being rich

    Yes, but the Two Witnesses are specifically defined as special Prophets. There were no such people in that capacity described within the 1st Century Church, and the office of Prophet did not exist. Any time that prophets are being referenced in the New Testament there is always a clear...

    Trickle up economics.

    Side-step. Talk to me about unfunded entitlements.

    conspiracy and corruption...

    Wrong. The Bible says God knows each individual before they are even conceived, so God knows every person as an individual human being, before they are even born. So it is still murder, no matter how you wish to put some secular spin on it. Because that's all an argument like yours even is...

    Why is the end times so important?

    No. Your "doctrine" takes just about every prophecy in Matthew 24 and tosses it in the trash. In verse 34, the generation that Jesus is speaking to is the generation that sees the things He is predicting come true. That couldn't be 70 AD Israel, or you are calling Jesus a liar. Either these...

    The problem of being rich

    There are no "prophets" today, as in being sent directly by God to prophesy to the world. Nor are their any Apostles. Anyone carrying around these titles gave the title to themselves, or some one else pinned it on them. Simply using the title denotes an attitude of pride and superiority. It...

    The problem of being rich

    You should not be slinging mud at all. That's the entire point. I wouldn't place Pentecostalism in the same tub with Charismatics or WOF'ers. Don't forget New Apostolic Reformation false prophets because they take the other two's bad teachings and turn them up to 11. I've seen tongues in...

    Why is the end times so important?

    In the context in which he used the link, no it was decidedely not an appeal to authority. It was simply a link to some information. And the only reason you would continually be whinging about it is that, although you claim not to be a fan of Kingdom Now/Dominion theory, you are defending a...

    Why is the end times so important?

    Ahwatukee was being developed when I was a kid. I was born in Phoenix, and raised in Glendale until I grew up and left home and moved to Kingman in 1982. I lived there until 1992 when I moved to Missouri. I used to work at Mohave Community College. Symbolic/allegorical meanings have always...

    Why is the end times so important?

    I'm not picking and choosing, you are. You confine the word "shortly" to one single meaning, i.e. yours and then try and make your eschatology fit what meaning you give to the word. God does not view time in the same way as we do because He is outside of it, and He does not progress His plan...

    The problem of being rich

    In other words, you find poor and rude behavior acceptable, as long as you are the one doing it. 1 Peter 2:17 Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king. 1 Peter 3:15-16 15 But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to...

    The problem of being rich

    In other words, you have no reply that would contain any substance. You began a thread based on . . . nothing except generalized condemnation. There is plenty you could say on the falseness and danger of the Prosperity Doctrine. We all know who the purveys of those doctrines are and most of...

    The problem of being rich

    When you start posting Internet memes to back up your assertion, there is a problem. If you began this thread to counter Prosperity doctrine, then why do you not actually deal with that, itself, and it's purveyors instead of just tossing out blanket statements that everyone who is "rich,"...
