    What do you know about the history of Satan?

    I see the red color as being very significant later on with the red suited devil with the long barbed and red tail. Anyway, thank you for your comments and if you could offer references to support your comments, I would be grateful as I am not familiar, as I said, with some of them. Thanks...

    Martin Luther on Reason

    Hi Dannager!:wave: Yes, reasoning is reasoning and I think the caution is in how it is used and respected. Faith is not always supported by reason. If someone asks you about the Virgin Birth does reason apply here more than faith? If someone asks you to using reasoning to explain how people...

    Why do you believe in your specific God but no others?

    Umaro---There have been thousands of Gods throughout history, and more than I care to list currently in the world's view. How then can you just pick one God as true and existing, and deny all others exist entirely? From what I've seen, every God has about the same qualifications. A Holy Text, a...

    We're all animals; define morality.

    Hi Ymeg! Moral codes are nothing new. Christians did not invent morality. Ever hear of the Code of Hammurabi or the 42 purifications of the Ancient Egyptians, or Confucius, and of course the 613 laws or commandments of Judaism. There have been and are many moral codes, religious and...

    Martin Luther on Reason

    :wave: Hi all, The other day I read a post that someone was offended by my use of the following quote. Martin Luther: "Reason is the devil's harlot". They seemed to feel the need to defend reason. I would like to explore that more on this thread as I believe that there are those who have...

    What do you know about the history of Satan?

    Hi all! This is a really interesting topic. I was just discussing this with someone on another off site forum I am told by a Jew that the word Satan means (Hinderer). As God created all, he also created Satan. Even the Ancient Egyptians understood that there was one creator God who created...

    What's Your Opinion On Messianic Judaism?

    Hi Guitar, I read the Wiki link. Are you speaking of strictly Messianic Jews and not Jews for Jesus? Apparently, according to some editors on Wiki all Jews may be considered Messianic as they are waiting for the Messiah. I understand that there are several types of groups comprised of Jews...

    Why am I going to Hell in your eyes?

    Sorry to have been away for so long the better half was hogging the computer :sigh: Just a couple of points: 1-Before I gave myself over to the Lord, blessings were evading my life. Now they are a part of my every day living. All our needs (and many of our wants) are being sent our way due...

    Anna Nicole Smith has died

    I hope that all of us can say a prayer for this troubled and tragic life. She must have suffered terribly at the loss of her son and now she is gone. Let's also pray for that sweet child who will never know her mother. May the Lord bless you and keep you Anna Nicole.

    Why am I going to Hell in your eyes?

    I would be happy to elaborate. First of all, my better half has been plagued by psoriasis, a bad skin disease since the early 80's. This is a particularly distressing disease because the skin thickens, turns chalky and itches horribly. He was miserable because he had it over 80% of his body...

    Celebrating Passover

    :wave: As a former pagan recently converted to Christ, I think it is wonderful to have some remnants of the world's pagan history. We kept the best of the old ideas. The Eucharist, the incense, the holy meals, even our prayers have roots in some pagan (non-Christian) group. Some were...
