Excellent response Charlesj. God not only called you but He also has filled you with wisdom. I expect a rich and full ministry for you. "Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the...

I guess it depends upon what kind of church you belong to. Are you describing your church?

Kevin, I was so glad to read your message on David and Goliath. That story is something that I am currently working on myself. I am constantly encouraged and excited by the historical account of David and Goliath. What really thrills me about what God did here is that Israel had been duped...

The Bible says in Galatians 2:10 "...we should continue to remember the poor". Perhaps you have heard the stories of people who have put on the guise of being poor. They ask for money holding signs, "will work for food" and all the while they are not in the least bit interested in working...

As far as I can tell there are several options before me on giving, I can either: 1) Refuse to give to the ministry 2) I can wait until "the Spirit moves me" 3) I can give an Old Testament tithe 4) I can follow the example of my heavenly Father and give generously Luke 6:38 "Give, and it...

On Tuesday I met a man in the inner city of Minneapolis. He asked me for some money. I told him I won't give you any money but I will give you an address for a job. He said, "I'll go there tomorrow, but I need some money for something to eat tonight". I told him no. Now I am having some...

Billhabing, Please explain exactly what it is you disagree with. I sincerely would like to know what you are thinking. :confused:

John, just answer this question, What exactly constitutes an "apostate Bible" ?

John, you don't see the parallel here? It's easy to see, I'll point it out to you. The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew (MT). Then along came the Septuagint (LXX), a new translation of the Old Testament into Greek. Consequently there were two readings of the Old Testament, one...

FFX, I have just had a conversation with a friend of mine over the same concerns you have. David and I are both seminary graduates neither of us are in full time ministry. I shared with Dave that we be obedient to God in the place where he has us right now. Because if we obedient in the place...

The problem of KJV only is that they begin with an erroneous presumption, that the King James Version is the best translation. Thereby they make the KJV the standard of Truth, other translations that don't measure up are immediately suspect. What I would like a KJV'er to answer me is this...

The questions I have yet to have answered by someone who holds to a "KJV only" stance is this: True or False, is the KJV a transliteration ? Also, did the Apostle Paul quote only from the Hebrew or did he also quote from the LXX ? Also, does the LXX have any variances with the Masoretic Text ?

I am glad your post came up with this discussion on wealth. I know I need to learn to be content with my income and not use credit cards. I heard on a Christian radio where a Christian financial counselor stated that covteousness is causing more and more of God's people to stand away from the...

Very very good

Ok, Goodnewsinc. I looked at your website and left with more questions than answers. First of all, are you teaching that there is no hell? You chastise the hell, fire and brimestone preachers, well then how are you going to explain the many many references Jesus makes to hell ? It is...
