Context is clear in Hebrew, I believe. yatsar : I form owr : the light, bara' : and create choshek : darkness: `asah : I make shalowm : peace, bara' : and create ra` : evil: Yĕhovah : I the LORD `asah : do (imp) : all these [things]. and the word 'evil' itself : noun masculine 2) evil...

The meaning of life is self evident: Cognizant awareness of existence. The purpose of life is summed up best by Oswald Chambers: Destined To Be Holy . . it is written, ’Be holy, for I am holy’ —1 Peter 1:16 We must continually remind ourselves of the purpose of life. We are not destined...

Amen. Thank you for replying rationally to an emotional issue in the body of Christ.

Salvation is a process. Many times we see an evangelist making an 'altar call' and people responding to the call by coming to the front of the assembly, and we call these 'salvations'. I would call these DECISIONS, a very necessary beginning. If we read Romans 8, we see the struggle between...

An all-powerful omniscient Creator who transcend time and space has 'fore-knowledge' of His creatures with self-apparent freewill. "He knows the end from the beginning." [Rev 1:8] That is why He says in Genesis, "Jacob have I loved, and Esau I have hated."

I think this indicates bondage to something. Do you meet the criteria of Romans 10:9,10? if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with...

Creation dot com is one of, if not THE best source of scientific evidence that bows its knee to the Creator.

I believe the Corinthian reference makes no mention of a worship service - it refers to placing first fruits in reserve for the offering. John's reference to 'the Lord's day" (gr. kyriakos) refers to the proclamation of Emperor Domitian that he (the emperor) be worshiped on the first day of...

Yes indeed. Notice the IF in the clause. IF (this is should be true) THEN "what is that to you?". This does not prove the if clause. Similarly, in Jesus’ statement in Matthew 12:27: And IF I drive out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your...

The gift of the Holy Spirit is promised to all believers. His manifestation within believers, although initially is speaking in tongues, is for the benefit of the church as Corinthians explains by way of Paul. Sounds like God is welshed on His promise then, eh? (Pardon me, all those of...

Thank God for Pharisee Paul who wrote under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit! I beg to differ. Tongues are a gift to the church according to Peter, and more importantly, Jesus through Mark's gospel. Acts 2:38,39 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in...

Resurrection had nothing to do with the thief. "Today, [in the spiritual dimension] you will be with Me in paradise." -as all who die in Christ are.

Jeremiah 31:31-34 is a beautiful promise to Israel and Judah of spiritual restoration, presumably in the future. Grace gives us the power to overcome. (Titus 2:11-14) "Us" being overcomers, not everyone including unbelievers. Only those who are obedient and are righteous through the grace...

Grace gives us the power to overcome. For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our...

From the prophecy of Isaiah 66:22-24 “For just as the new heavens and the new earth Which I make will endure before Me,” declares the LORD, “So your offspring and your name will endure. And it shall be from new moon to new moon And from sabbath to sabbath...

It's not about you. It is about two candidates, each a certifiable liar. Do you vote on their platform which reflects what the "Party" supports but they by their record in office obviously doesn't reflect, what suddenly when influencing voters they "see the light" and promise support, which...

The brother should never have been chosen for preaching or teaching. An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, peaceable, free from the love of money. He must...

Misinformation! From wikipedia, born in Houston, Texas, Osteen is one of five children of John Osteen and Dolores ("Dodie") Pilgrim. His father, a former Southern Baptist pastor, founded Lakewood Church. The weakest reply to a direct question from Larry King, shame on Joel.

I am amused by your stance. This is a book of FICTION. It was originally written for grandchildren and wasn't a book that was going to make the author money. (Not that that justifies it's existence.) It raises questions concerning true vs. delusional faith, relationships, and dealing with...
