I think references to Heaven, Jesus, and God--even if lighthearted--are better than no references at all. It gets people to thinking about those things more than if you just blot it out of your mind altogether.

The greatest injustice that ever occurred: the Cross. Thousands, millions of people get forgiven their sin and go to Heaven. Meanwhile, the one sinless person is allowed to die on the cross at the hands of sinners. I would say this is all a test to see what you do when the Master goes...

This study actually gained more traction than I expected. I guess it's because I put in more homework than most people do for a Sunday School type study (normally the teacher might read a book for an hour-and-a-half the night before). Since the study turned more into a study of How to Read...

Jacob = Ya'akov = "he who deceives." Not a very good name to have. Israel = "wrestles with God". A better name. And besides, he did.

Just keep this Black Lives Matter = terrorists garbage off the Bible forum. I realize you guys want to keep repeating the same thing over and over again, everywhere you can, until eventually people believe it. But some people on this Bible forum are actually interested in the Bible -- not...

You know, BLM also supports full equality of lizards and aliens. The other day they raided Area 51 with AR-15's in an attempt to free all the aliens. They support equal rights to the airspace above the United States for UFO's. In fact, they're secretly plotting to get ahold of SAM missiles...

This is ridiculous. BLM is neither a terrorist organization, nor does it have anything whatsoever remotely to do with Baal worship. PLUS: this THREAD has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the Bible.

Black Lives Matter posts their own mission statement: https://blacklivesmatter.com/what-we-believe/ But good thing we have all those white supremacists out there who know BLM's "terrorist" ties. You know...what BLM *says* their *OWN* mission is...you can't trust that. Oh no, these guys...

I have heard enough words from black people directly who support the movement and for exactly the reason advertised: because black people are disproportionately targeted by police brutality. I have heard enough already that I don't need to hear any more "links". It's slander stemming from...

I don't think Americans will learn anything from the Bolshevik Revolution, because I don't think Americans will learn anything from history.

That's why Democrats need to uphold the Second Amendment. Because if they disarm themselves, then only the bad guys will have guns.

I don't think black lives matter is a terrorist organization. I think it is your slanderous words about them that are white supremacist.

Happy Canada Day

Absolutely it is. So...children of unsaved parents are all just going to mysteriously vanish, and the world is just going to go on, unbelieving, as if nothing ever happened? All those children were never given a free will and are somehow immune to the whole point of even living on earth...

There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying black lives matter, and supporting an end to policy brutality. No one ever said that ONLY black lives matter. Black people clearly feel they are being targeted disproportionately by police brutality, and so far all I have ever heard are...

In this particular context, I think it is fair to say that Jesus was pronouncing new Law. It is hard to argue the opposite.

Christianity is about the worship of JESUS. So what if Josephus' allegiance was more to Rome than to the Jews. It's not like one was any better than the other. The early Church, too, often showed more allegiance to Rome, just as Rome often persecuted Christians less than the Jews did...

When I think of a heavenly city, Jerusalem doesn't exactly come to mind, anyway. Flam, Norway: now THAT is heavenly. Haifa is nicer than Jerusalem.

I volunteered to teach on Revelation. Which is basically teaching a room full of people who think they either know nothing or know everything (I think we comprise about 60% self-described know-nothings and 40% know-everythings). Since the spiritual well-being of multiple people other than...

Do note, just because I lean toward preterist/idealist does not mean I don't believe in a future world-wide great tribulation. Tribulation is what this life is all about. The world will end one day. Even way back in the days of Noah, while that was not the end of the world, that was still...
