    Testing a word from God, with the bible.

    Well, you are absolutely correct in that prophesy should be tested by scriptures. Good Job!!!!! And the only way to do that is by knowing the prophesies in scriptures completely in context. Meaning you have to know scriptures, the history, and the anthropology of the day, the formulaic...

    So.... For whatever poor mental health reasons on your part you thought to post something about your physical health that has zero relevance or support for the subject at hand? I hear they have psychological assistance online now. Maybe consult one of them.

    WHAT A DEBACLE THAT MEETING WAS, HUH?

    On one hand Russia is a villain towards Ukraine. And We have a treaty with Ukraine that directly addresses Russian aggression to Ukraine. The other side: Ukraine is a piece of the American Deep State with every vile thing imaginable being perpetrated there from underage child sex slaves to...

    Systematic Bible Study

    Because at SWBTS that's the ONLY theology they consider legitimate anymore. They once did not....but it changed about 30 some years ago to complete calvinism albeit somewhat cloaked and coded by euphemisms. There were some theological "dust ups" (disagreements) over the shift as they once were...

    Could Jesus forgive sins because he is the "Lamb slain from the foundation of the world"?

    On the first day of creation God said "Let there be Light". Now if somehow you missed the passage in Peter that said "the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water " We need for you to find it and read it again so you know what I am saying is accurate. So, the only...

    Systematic Bible Study

    I understand what YOU might intend by the word "Systematic" but those with some knowledge of various theologies will believe you are looking to entrench them into Calvinism. Just saying.

    Are there deep pains and hurts that no amount of physical healing will ever cover and can only be healed once in eternity?

    In John's Gospel chapter 5 Jesus asks a lame man a strange question....at least to us "normals" it appears to be strange. "Do you want to be well?" And most of us would say, "DUH, why are you asking such a dumb question? " But thats for a healing that costs nothing.... But is a healing...

    Jesus is God, so what did He mean in…

    Watch the video above with St Patrick and the two little guys. It should explain things very well. It's humorous as well. It literally is the BEST explanation for the Trinity and the various wrong descriptions of the Trinity. It's under 5 minutes long too.

    Jesus is God, so what did He mean in…

    When discussing the Trinity there is only a very narrow way to do so without going beyond what is written. BUT We have a LOT of people who wish to describe it in some new fashion. (Including St Patrick) And by doing so go beyond what is written.
