I am called only to point people to the truth. It is up to each person to decide if they want it badly enough to go after it. Did I possibly misspeak very slightly? Yes, I have already acknowledged as much. Tripping-up on the technicalities of a minor miscommunication, though, suggests someone...

Yes, but I'm not castigating you. You did hit one of my pet peeves but mostly I'm razzing you because I think you are a cool person and I think you are mature enough to take it. Now shall we fight to the death on whether or not pineapple belongs on pizza? 🍕 I'm anti, though in truth I'm much...

In truth, do to your own as you see fit, but it does hurt my heart for a few reasons. First, I have no visible path to ever owning my own place, though I don't dismiss God's divine intervention to do the impossible. Therefore it is painfully frustrating to watch those who are blessed with such...

You didn't listen at all to what I said, especially about how I came to my conclusions, and you certainly aren't listening to God on this since, as I previously noted, He has spoken things contrary to your understanding. Yet you stubbornly and arrogantly insist that your interpretation and...

Thank you for sharing. Obviously I see it differently than you, and I was reading to learn. I trust Holy Spirit to be there to correct what is really needed when we do. I'm glad you agree on not mocking anyone's beliefs. Some of those things said of gap theorists were quite inappropriate, and...

If you want to know, look it up yourself. My point is that there are good reasons for people to have varied opinions on the matter. Although I will clarify and acknowledge that while there are many KJV translations (if there weren't, it would be indecipherable to modern English speakers), I do...

Sounds like your experience is notably different than mine since I have seen so much of the new construction have barely any if any yard. In my last town, they built a row of new houses across from the library. The lots were so small they had barely any yard, especially on the plans where the...

Jesus was a heretic. And while I a cannot speak for all gap theorists, no, it doesn't imply that one is adding to the word of God to believe there was a period of time between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. It is simply an alternate interpretation of scripture from your own and that of some Christian...

Pardon me if I have misunderstood you, but you seem to be dismissing gap theorists as simply following false or errant teachers. For me, I basically became a gap theorist because when I read my Bible, I saw no indication that the events of the first few scriptures were at the same time, and...

Look for the spirit of what he was getting at. However a clue that it wasn't literal is the fact that cutting out one eye wouldn't keep you from seeing whatever the offending image was.

Our core being is determined by God at our conception when He makes our soul. He then reveals it to us as we walk with Him. It is revealed by what comes out of us, just like you might recognize that an animal is a dog because it barks. For example, I discovered I was a teacher in part because...

For me, reading it straight through didn't work very well since I would get bogged down in like Leviticus or Numbers, feeling board and starved for something more appropriate to where my current needs were. Instead I printed an online worksheet that had a little box for every chapter of the...

The sin wasn't in wanting knowledge. The sin was in disobeying God to get it. Satan can't offer you anything good that wasn't created by God, so he offers it in inappropriate ways, inappropriate times, or convinces you that God is trying to keep something good from you so you will try to get it...

I'm not worried about it, nor convinced in even the slightest. If there was such a thing, God would be speaking of it. He isn't. The only exception is that there are angels, fallen and otherwise. But fallen angels can't appear as humans, and faithful angels can but only under special...

So you are one of THOSE. It drives me nuts when people have ruined all that lovely lawn and garden space by putting down gravel. Its like saying, "I didn't really want a lot this big even though I paid tens of thousands of dollars extra to get it, so I will just destroy it." Oh, and I LOVE...

For me, I have done extensive study on the subject and found the Bible is more in line with your friend that is an annihilationist. This was later echoed through prophecy by someone at my fellowship. In fact it was noted there that the first lie in Genesis was that eating of the fruit wouldn't...

I think I just discovered Trump's favorite statue.

Apparently there hasn't been much going on in the world of science for a while.

I don't know what exactly is going on with your dreams of your friend but I have a few notes for you. First off, on the dead knowing nothing, realize that things changed when Jesus died on the cross, so that isn't still true. Second, there are times that God gives people visions of the deceased...

Yeah, too bad Robert Stack isn't still around to seek for tips from the public on the case of the missing granola bars, cause yeah, I did pay good money for them and it was indeed quite the bummer when they disappeared.
