    Prayer for marriage and family troubles

    Yes, and amen. Thank you for asking, though. Many people just resign to "irreconcilable differences," and immediately go for the divorce. No, I committed to the long haul regardless to circumstances. If I never get to go back home, I will be her husband just as I am their Daddy. I read...

    Can Baptism save us?

    Here's a good quote to remember: "Every mention of baptism does not always mean water, and all mentions of water do not always mean baptism."

    Can Baptism save us?

    Bro. 1Watman said LilLamds reply was, Since we can (I hope) agree that scripture DOES NOT contradict itself, let's look ahead in Acts and let Peter give us a REAL LIFE sequencing. Acts 10 [42] And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of...

    Which New Testament Text has been kept pure?

    Try this one on for the "original autographs" issue. It is where I stand: "For ever, O LORD, thyword is settled in heaven." Psalm 119:89 Heaven is where the REAL "original autographs" are kept. God knew he couldn't entrust them to "scholars," so he gave his word to the common people...

    Prayer for marriage and family troubles

    My wife and I have struggled for years, we both come from broken families and had no good example. I lost my job last year and was around home A LOT more this last year and it only exaggerated our arguments. To add to that my two oldest daughters (still at home,) "sided" w/ their mother so it...

    Eternal Security believers: do these verses suggest otherwise?

    Read this article, I think it will be very liberating. I come from a typical Baptist background of unconditional eternal security and currently fellowship where most of the believers are more Arminian. I brother at church shared this with me in a little booklet. Here's the same article...

    I'm KJB Only

    A perspective to consider as to why someone would be "KJV only" is not based on superior manuscripts from "man's" point of view, but superior manuscripts from "God's" point of view. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. Psalm 119:89 What if the "original" were not dependent upon...

    Is gardening Christian?

    This is not as easy to prove with scripture as the question: Who is supposed to make the coffee in the morning, the husband or the wife? It's easy, ready????? He-brews! :P

    Secret Rapture Theory Debunked

    Paul makes the sequence of events clear if one has ears to hear: 1 Cor. 15 [22] For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. [23] But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. [24] Then cometh the end, when he...

    KJV Only?

    Bro. Oz, this has been addresses by some. Here is a link, (too long to post,) that is worth considering: Isn't “Easter” in Acts 12:4 a mistranslation? By Dr. Samuel C. Gipp, Th.D.

    Secret Rapture Theory Debunked

    Yes, we do have amply evidence to "rethink" our theology, and for that reason, it is "our theology." We should never be so proud as to think we might be wrong, including myself. There are some things I believe differently now as compared to when I began my pilgrimage. No, not major doctrines...

    KJV Only?

    I would never tell anyone the KJV is the "easiest" to read. However, readability does not a pure Bible make. NIRV, NIV, TEV, etc. are dynamic equivalents. They attempt to capture the "spirit" of what is being said as opposed to the KJV's attempt to be a word-for-word translation. This can...

    Jack Schaap Dismissed From Hammond Baptist Church

    If this is indeed true, it is sad, but remember how David handled the news about Saul, we are to hold God's men up in prayer in good times and bad. They're just men. Some fall, some don't. I realize it is grievous, but put his shoes on for a moment. . . how would you want to be treated?

    Yahwehists, The Sacred Name Movement, and a pagan god

    I have not done extensive study on this, but it is of significant interest to look into the possibility that the name, "Yahweh," is not only God's name, or God's "Sacred Name," (for those of the sacred name movement,) but it has shown up in ancient text as the name of a couple of different pagan...

    Are we growing in grace or frustrating it?

    There was a documentary about some monkeys in a cage. The researchers put a banana on a stool in the middle of the room, but the only hitch was, the stool and the floor immediately around it had a (harmless but painful) electrical charge. When the monkeys tried for the banana, they soon found...

    Question about bibles?

    Rob, Have you ever read or heard of the book, 'God's Secretaries: The Making of the King James Version?' It is excellent from a secular viewpoint.

    Question about the rapture

    Wow! Just imagine, what if the Rapture was later in the Tribulation, even near the end. We could be in the tribulation and not know it!
