I didn't vote for or against any of them (not being an American citizen). I am glad, however, that Harris/Walz did not win. America and the world are preserved from that Stephen King novel... for now, at least.

Another patently ignorant meme. When you're in a moving vehicle, it is not moving relative to you. It "feels" stationary. You don't feel like you're moving relative to the vehicle because you aren't, yet when you look outside you realize you are moving, and will normally feel the...

The commandment is to remember the Sabbath. We remember the Sabbath by glorifying Jesus Christ. As Hebrews 4:3 states, "Now we who have believed enter that rest." Verses 9-11 add, "There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their...

That verse tells you nothing about either "interest" or "usury". Since you choose to be ignorant on the matter, I see no reason to attempt to enlighten you.

Scripture is quite clear in refuting your baseless belief: Deuteronomy 14:26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God...

This claim has absolutely no scriptural support; it is eisegesis and has no evidentiary power in this discussion. More eisegesis. There isn't any Scripture that says "fermented wine... symbolizes a process of decay".

What "scripture" are you reading? The Bible tells me that he is correct. Ah... you think that either someone is under the Law or they are a profligate sinner. Yeah... I've seen your error many times, and always from people who don't understand the Bible's message to believers in Christ.

No, it is your misinterpretation of "Bible". Nor did I, but it states in Hebrews that the Law is obsolete. The Law requires perfection, and you cannot "love" perfectly in your own strength.

Your stubborn unwillingness to learn isn't going to serve you well in life.

"Usury" is generally understood to mean "lending money at an interest rate that is considered unreasonably high or that is higher than the rate permitted by law." (source: What Is Usury? Definition, How It Works, Legality, and Example ). In the parable of the talents, the master criticized the...

It appears that you're referring to 2 Peter 1:21. I invite you to consider my thoughts on the subject in the BDF, posts 3 and 12 of the following: Did Some Illumination of Scripture only appear 1800 years after the Revelation? - Christian Chat Rooms & Forums No pressure. Just for discussion. :)

With respect, that's ridiculous. Paul and Jesus are in perfect alignment. What you propose is rank heresy. During Jesus' lifetime, the Law was still in effect, and Jesus reiterated the Law to Jews, not to gentiles. At no time did He teach gentiles to follow the Law. He revealed the full gospel...

Those who have the Spirit of God within have no need for external regulations. Those without the Spirit have nothing but their own willpower to restrain their sin and so they need the Law. Romans 8:9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed...

And all this to say... what, exactly? That you still refuse to concede the point?

When someone is asking for a passage to be explained, they might see it as a bit unhelpful to state that the language is "pretty plain". Does "nature" (not Scripture, but nature by itself) teach you that long hair on a man is wrong? It doesn't teach me that. ;)

You have free will to remain a slave to weak and miserable principles that do nothing to suppress your fleshly inclinations. You have free will to believe that your adherence to obsolete ordinances makes you acceptable in God's sight, or "more" acceptable, or whatever, instead of trusting fully...

Um... what? This is ridiculous and borders on heresy. Firstly, where in Scripture does it say that Jesus had long hair? It doesn't! So don't make doctrinal statements with that as a foundation. This idea of "spiritual female" has absolutely no foundation in Scripture, regarding Jesus or anyone...

It was inappropriate of you to complain about an issue in a Bible Discussion Forum thread in a different forum, in a thread intended to share humorous stories and memes. If you have an issue with someone, deal with them in that thread. It's that simple. If they persist in inappropriate behaviour...

Methinks you're missing the point of "Post something funny".

Why would anyone dilute unfermented "wine"? That's silly. Do you think they found the grape juice a bit strong for their liking? Do you think there wasn't enough so they mixed it to make it "go farther"? You can believe whatever you like, but inventing beliefs about what Scripture says is not...
