Yes, I have an exhaustive one, but it is stored a few hundred miles away at the moment. I miss it. I have a phone app for searching the Bible, and there is of course the internet, but none of those give all the ways a word was translated, which is an important tool for spotting translational...

Yes, indeed, but it matters a lot to those of us who are living here now.

A good, concise summary of the situation. I would add that even when God needs a Pharaoh or a Judas, their role might be needed for God's purposes, but they are still morally responsible for their poor choices. If only no one was willing to play the role of Pharaoh or Judas, maybe we wouldn't...

I do. People feared Romney's Mormonism. I don't know why McCain would be in such a conversation, though, because he wrote a book called Faith of My Fathers, and exemplified godliness in trying to find common ground on both sides, and standing against his own party when his conscience took him...

What was it he said that you found stunning? You aren't the only one to have that reaction and I'm curious to understand what hit others that way when my household felt very differently.

Thank you, though, as my mom pointed out, he didn't really get into his background much. I know what you wrote about more from articles I read about him rather than from his own sharing.

There was no substance, no insight, no real solutions. I think the spirit of it was very humanistic and had a lot of appeals to the flesh rather than being rooted in humbly walking with God, or even just looking hard for the truth. It felt like his faith was more in Trump and the Republican...

Yeh - vah

Okay, Adrian Monk.

One of my church friends was studying the language of the Bible in regard to this topic and reportedly found that the Bible is talking about using spankings for more like rebellious teenagers rather than little kids. Sadly our society seems to have that backwards. Little kids still need good...

So my mom and I decided to catch up on the intro speech for Trump's VP pick and were very unimpressed, finding it had little substance. To my surprise, though, most of the comments on YouTube were surprisingly positive. It made me wonder who the audience was on YouTube, and how a survey of...

For me, I am on the line between voting for Trump and writing in "America Repents." After hearing his VP pick talk, I'm leaning more towards the latter than I was before.

You need to read those passages you cite again more carefully since the answers are in there. Be sure to do so humbly and with God since He can connect the dots for you if you really want the truth.

I agree on the first part and was actually here to give you a thumbs up till I read the second part and had some concerns. The word 'feelings' causes a lot of trouble in spiritual discussions because it has a wide range of meanings that get jumbled together. You can feel happy. You can feel...

How dare you! I am prophetic, so I rarely use tongues, but when I have had occasion to speak in tongues with interpretation I was utterly shocked at how completely my heart was laid bare even to myself. You are judging harshly things of God, things of Holy Spirit, that you do not understand...

You have some good comments in there, but when it comes to your statement that you are flat wrong. God went out of His way to show my family that these gifts still exist. And I studied the passage you quote as many in your camp have, and was shocked to realize it actually says the opposite of...

I think you would enjoy reading Pagan Christianity by Frank Viola and George Barna. That is if you haven't already, since you seem to be noting a lot of the same things they get into. Basically Christianity as we know it can trace much of its modern form to influences of Paganism, Judaism, and...

So my parents once built their dream home on land they owned on the Indian Reservation that was the top spot in the state to buy fireworks. Before they built there, some of the neighbors caught their garage on fire with their fireworks and decided to just let it burn. I guess that must have been...

In particular you asked: You are making it too black and white. No, preaching alone won't save those who are perishing, but preaching and miracles both have a necessary role in God calling those who are to be saved. Also, don't assume that because someone hasn't become a believer yet they...

Incorrect, whoever wants to know the truth for him/herself is responsible to prove it. It simply doesn't work the other way practically or morally. To expect the someone else to prove it to you is a "the world owes me a living" kind of logic that demands others give what they don't have enough...
