    RE: The Relationship between the Old and New Testament!

    The Old Testament is Christ concealed The New Testament is Christ revealed. Everything in the OT is for teaching, alluding to, predicting or paving the way for Christ. The Torah was given so that when Christ came, the Jews would recognize him.

    joel osteen is a good man

    God wanting us to prosper is different then the "Prosperiety Gospel". The Prosperiety Gospel says the we can manipulate God by praying for things in Jesus' name. The focus isn't on God's will, but on ours. While owning expensive things isn't, of itself, a bad thing, the wanton need for...

    joel osteen is a good man

    Because that is not why Jesus came. If that were so, He would have told us we could all go to heaven because we are "good" people and that whatever we believe is Ok with him. He didn't. He told us to be watchful for false prophets in the end times. Osteen does not preach the Gospel of Jesus...

    Would y'all mind if I hung around?

    Thanks guys! I will jump in, ask questions and participate! In fact..I'll shoot with my first question. What was the difference between the Saducees, the Pharisees and the Sanhedrin? I know they were religious leaders, but what was their specific roles? I know the Sanhedrin had something...

    God underestimated the Nazis??

    Just because he knows the end from the beginning doesn't imply that he is forcing anyone to do anything. He knows what your choices are going to be before you were even created. He knows every point in your life when He will send someone into your life to make that decision for Christ, and he...

    Would y'all mind if I hung around?

    You have such vivid color and perspective on scripture that I just cant get. I see so much more clearly when I see scripture through a Jewish perspective. God's plays on words, deeper meanings in oral traditions...so much in the text that I just miss not knowing the culture. I find when I come...

    God underestimated the Nazis??

    Is she right? Not in the least bit. That would imply that God did not know anything from the foundation of the world. If he knows our thoughts, hearts, and everything we will do our say, before we were even created, why would he not have known what Hitler was going to do? He planned Christ's...

    Does reading the Bible in its original language

    For the sake of reading it in the original languages, no, it does not automatically make you more knowledgeable. However, if read with understanding and depth, yes. There are many parts of language, culture and...whats the word I am looking for...that are missed in translation. Plays on words...

    Dreamcatcher split a church.

    I am by no means saying that Spiritual warfare does not exist. Oh, just the opposite. What I said was that the attack of the enemy is not because of the piece of string and wicker, no more then a gold medal with a picture of a saint can protect you. The attack comes from Satan himself, the...

    Dreamcatcher split a church.

    Anything that replaces God in your life is an Idol and God hates idols and is a jealous God. There are no other gods besides Him. I don't believe that a thing will have power over you in the demonic sense. If you have Christ, by power of the Spirit, you are naturally going to gravitate away...

    Greg Laurie

    I love Greg Laurie. I love how he is so down to earth. He makes you feel like you are just chatting about the bible in your den with him. He goes verse by verse and explains it all in plain engish and then talks about how that relates to today. He never sounds "preachy"....just like you're...

    Is love enough??

    How do you know that a seed wasn't planted long ago in this girl by someone and it is your son that is going to nurture it and watch it grow? God always puts people and events in our path to make decision points in our lives to follow or not. Perhaps the love for your son is the one thing...

    Women in Matthew Genealogy

    None but Mary are a Jew. More significantly, Mary isn't only mentioned for "obvious" reason, but to prove the curse of Jeconiah did not flow through Jesus because both Joseph and Mary's lineage were of David. Josephs through Solomon and Marys through Nathan. By Mary being through Nathan, this...

    Why God didn't stop Adam and Eve from sinning

    The answer is simple... ...free will Here is an example Lets say you are a parent and you kneel down next to your small toddler child and keep requesting them to say "I love you" over and over until they respond in the same. Now lets say you are that same parent, but you never ask them...
