my thoughts: Paul was a human being led by the Spirit. However, he was NOT the only human being led by the Spirit. He was warned by other Christians what would happen if he went. I can understand...

Dave..... We SOO do have little text. AND yet....I'm sure it's for a reason. Perhaps for discussions like this? ( a personal note: hope all is well with you and your family)

Dave,

In regards to him fudging the principle I guess I agree with you. These two individuals were gentiles but in BOTH instances the Lord was moved by their faith. In fact, these are the only...

I have pondered this and pondered this. We know that He came for the lost house of Israel. Mathew 15:24 Could He have been implying he had nothing to talk to them about until AFTER his death,...

True! But his motivation was his tummy. That is how I read it, anyway.

Interesting, but I don't personally believe the younger son actually thought he was no longer "worthy". The younger son was just starving....it never says he felt unworthy, or that he even felt bad...

..Who knows? The Father was so very happy to have his son home he started getting ready to party. He knew the elder son would be back to enjoy the festivities. OR perhaps the Father was very much...

There is no one good enough. That's why we need a savior. The Lord Jesus died on the cross and rose again the third day. All that call on his name receives eternal life. A divine exchanged took...

Yes! I'm sure the Lord has a great sense of humor... we see it throughout the entire Bible. Sarah lying to the Lord and saying she didn't laugh... her sons name is Isaac which means laughter... Also...

Ok. I figured I had to. It has nothing to do with receiving assistance. It’s just a giant mess. There were 5 beneficiaries and it was split 5 ways. For some reason Merrill Lynch messed the 1099...

I don't know if I am asking this on the correct forum but I'm giving it a whirl. Do I have to report to the IRS an inherited Roth IRA I received last year? I did receive a 1099 form. I'd prefer...

Because as WG pointed out... it means to correctly teach. How in the world can you "correctly teach" if you don't know the difference? Mixing law with grace does not work. Jesus himself stated you...

Ma0641-

The entire bible is for us today. I didn't say it was wrong. I said the LAW was fulfilled by Jesus. That's a fact. I didn't understand the other stuff. Not sure what your point was. ...

WG

Rightly divide... means to know the difference between law and grace. What is written to the Jewish people under the law, what is written for the church today. The bible is written for ALL of...

We must rightly divide the word of truth, which is why most people do not understand the bible. I agree with WG, Paul was correcting a specific assembly. If it is true that woman cannot teach or...

I don't really understand your question. Taking your own life for the sake of others is not just goofy, it's not truth. Your own death will not determine whether other people will have happy...

Well it's ridiculous and I certainly don't believe someone goes to hell because they are on the wrong side of me politically. Sadly, the church really has no clue as to what sends a person to hell. ...

Fun fact... out of 89 chapters in all four gospels only 4 chapters are devoted to the birth of Christ and 27 chapters the death, burial and resurrection of The Lord. So I think I can tell you what...

Dave,

Trust me... your political views are sending you to hell. Ha ha I'm so funny. NO. I am in totally agreement with you, Grace is Grace! It has NOTHING to do with our performance. Having...

Out of curiosity, why can't you be a Christian and still be involved in homosexual activity? You can be a Christian and steal, lie, fornicate... I mean that isn't what God wants for us but it...

I'm still not over the fact that Trump is the candidate! What? It's depressing! I don't know how it happened. I loathe both of them. I want a redo!

So if Paul knew NOTHING about orientation, it stands to reason when he wasn't implying some people were born naturally attracted to the same gender. I have really tried hard to see this from the...

WG

I did read the article. Sigh... I don't believe for one minute Paul was talking about how one was naturally born. Didn't Dave state over and over there were no homosexuals or at least they...

To answer your question about natural... it is because of the word translated use or function after it. So even if the greek word was translated wrong and should have been normal... it wouldn't...

Because the Holy Spirit didn't feel the need to add that little tid bit to the text. Having said that, if the act itself is sin , then by stating it shouldn't be done covers everyone.. the ones...

Dave,

Sorry, I used the wrong quote when I said I wouldn't address your last statement. I meant to use the post where you said that the Lord could have married. That is the one I thought was...

Romans 1 lays it out there. It isn't even a little gray. The only people who think there is some wiggle room are the people who want to believe same sex relations are not sin. I have read up on...

Because the Lord Jesus wasn't here to have those types of relationships. He was here to redeem mankind, to show the world what the Father is really like, to fulfill the law and bring in the age of...

They didn't marry in his day. Therefore Paul was speaking about homosexuality in Romans 1. I know it is not popular but it is what it is, I didn't write it.

Well, I disagree... He was clear in Romans 1. Paul spoke against sex outside of marriage. He was clear. There is no way around it. Yes, I know. He could have been gay and I have heard that...

Because of how strongly Paul wrote about sex outside of marriage. 1 Corinthians 6:19 Flee fornication! Every other sin a person commits is OUTSIDE the body, but the sexually immoral person sins...

Well I think I answered it to some degree. But think about it. The apostle Paul was a man living most of his life under the law, so he believed that homosexual behavior was wrong because like or...

NeedKarma,

All scripture is written for our learning, but no we don't. According to the NT we are no longer under the law, Jesus fulfilled it.

Dave,

First of all I really resent the "clobber passages" remark. In NO way do I run around clobbering or even judging people who are gay. I have my own issues, my own pet sins. I believe...

You are a condescending JackA$$ ! Your excuses for not answering my question are becoming downright embarrassing. You can't answer it, Dave. It's NOT too much for this site, it's too much for YOU. ...

Dave.

This is a quote from Carol in this thread... "I'd never heard of dispensationalism and the rapture until I saw them mentioned on this site years ago." I'm curious as to why you weren't...

I'm just seeing this little jewel. Really? Well you have one thing correct, I am naïve. I had the audacity to think we were friends. My mistake. I don't think anyone has ever personally attacked...

You know, it's OK for me to disagree. I wasn't rude to you and I never once said I was "enlightend". I'm not sure what your problem is, but I hope you feel better now. Geesh



Oh good grief,...

Ma0641,

I disagree. It would appear there are contradictions but if the word is rightly divided, ( put in context, know who it is written TO, know what covenant it is under, the bible does NOT...

Dave,

No answer? Come on! You have to have one...

Wow! Dave you don't understand GRACE at all nor what Jesus has done for us. Listen, I know that it was Jesus who saved everyone from Adam until now, but you are wrong about them being under grace. ...

Hebrews 8:7 I didn't say it the writer of Hebrews did! For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. For finding fault with them, he saith,...

Ok. I am not disputing that Moses had Faith. I know that, I get it and I get the blood of bulls and goats were a type and it only covered their sin until the true Lamb came to die. I disagree with...

WG,

Wow. So if you have faith, you are automatically under God's Grace. I don't think you understand what Jesus died to give us.

Wait a minute, OK. Let me see if I got this right, you believe moses lived during Grace because of his faith? I will agree that Joseph, Abraham... the ones who lived before the law, lived under...

Dave,


Exactly if anyone preaches a different gospel let him be cursed! That is for right now! You bet it is! But Dave, there is coming a time when the church is raptured, there will be no...

Dave,

Please show me the post where I EVER said there was two ways of salvation! I never said that. NEVER EVER. You know this and you are just having fun. I said there was only ONE way...

Why do people argue politics? I argue with Dwashbur and WG because it's fun. I never knew people believed some of the things they believe. I thought all Christians believed in different...

WG,


Disagree. The present truth in the garden of Eden was don't eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil... they did! Their answer is the same as my answer : Jesus! ( Genesis 3:15)...

Ok how many ways can I say this... I already said everyone was saved the same way!! That's why I didn't get WG post... don't make me come through this computer and smack you sideways. EVERYONE...
