Sounds a little close to outright rejection of scripture there for my taste. And FYI, the verse didn't speak categorically, for there certainly is the conspiracy of Satan. Let me encourage you to seek God for the fullness of His meaning, though, and its application.

No, I didn't miss it. He gave his reasons and they didn't include testing. Rather he cited his own logic and interpretation of scriptures. It would be illogical and strange to have tested and not mentioned it in rebuttal. In trying to come to peace, he also later acknowledged that he had his...

Please continue this list of Bible Verses that modern Christians often miss. As always keep it loving. Ideally post verses that caught you off guard yourself.

No, Satan can't read minds but he has been around a very long time to know how to manipulate us. He will even play multiple sides against us at once. For example, I've had him get me into a vulnerable state on one front and then use someone else to say the hurtful thing on another, without them...

Problem is there are other factors. Washington has a monopoly on my nieces and nephew. I get "sunburned" by my laptop and can't take the heat, so Texas and Florida are out anyway. I've toyed with the idea of Idaho but I don't know if racists are any better than liberals. And they would likely...

I'm with you there. I might vote for Trump. I did the 3rd party thing the first time he ran though I haven't really thought of doing it again. I might just write in "America Repents." My state is so liberal my vote isn't likely to make any difference in the physical anyway, but taking a stand in...

I can't say I exactly understand what you have experienced but I can tell you what I know. First off, God is absolutely real, cares very much about us, and answers prayers. I have had hundreds of encounters with Him to know this, many unexplainable by anything else. As to why you have not...

There are some good verses given by others showing Jesus is God, but the Holy Spirit seemed not to be getting as much attention. Therefore I asked the search engine Brave. Here is what it's AI brought up. It repeats the verse in Acts, but I think that is the best one.

1) As another has noted, you need to stand on knowing the goodness of God's character whether you understand why He does something or not. 2) Realize that murder is basically theft of a life from God. Our lives belong in His hands, not someone else's. God cannot steal from Himself. 3) Realize...

I can appreciate your perspective, but you are missing some context. First off, these are Old Testament passages where God was talking to people under the Old Covenant. Today a person can put themself under the Old Covenant, but a newer and better covenant is now available. The Old Covenant...

My beef initiating discussion here is with JD Vance's speech. Whether he is a good pick is a separate, though related question. My shock was that people were gaga for his speech that my household found to be void of any real depth or insight.

Maybe you missed it but I didn't assume he rejected it; @tedincarolina said as much: Calling something a "totally false statement" is about as clear of a statement of outright rejection as I can imagine.

Sounds like some people from not too terribly far from my corner of the globe. I'm on the dry side of the state now after living in the wet half most of my life, but I was just visiting not far from there, more around Longview.

Obviously I disagree. God's interpretation is the only one that really matters. Prophecy must be vetted - I don't expect you to take my word for it, but who are you to reject it outright without testing?

Actually this gets into quantum physics but have you never heard that as you approach the speed of light, time slows down? But then I have long been a student of the sciences, though in college I studied Biology, not Physics. I can't say I can wrap my head around it fully either, but the two are...

I read 1984 like twenty years ago. As I recall, one of the themes was the meaningless elections where neither candidate would really make a difference. We're there. I'm a teacher and the way I look at it is if student Democrat has a 30% in the class, and student Republican has a 40% in the...

Friend, my source is a prophetic elder that was initially asking God about a scientific article he'd read about evidence that the speed of light (and thus time) had changed. Whether then or later, God indicated that the age of the universe is a meaningless question since time didn't exist. My...

First off, I'm setting aside any possible contentions over some of your statements (which I addressed above). What changed for me? Hmm....It's complicated. I guess I became aware of my selfishness and sin-proneness and wanted help to be better, and forgiveness for my failures. It wasn't one...

While some of these statements are on shaky ground that is probably based in traditions from questionable logic (ex. Extrapolating an individual case to all), some conceptually look to be in the Bible, whether or not they are point blank stated. Example: And unless something was edited, you...
