Yes, home school, because so many parents are not adequately qualified, can be a two-edged sword cutting either good or bad. And the parent would need to arrange ways as a part of their curriculum to assure the child is able to develop healthy social interaction skills. So it goes beyond mere...

Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of...

Wrong. You are rationalizing rather than accepting what God's word has said. What you speak of is as follows: Proverbs 21:18 "The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright." Not that a policeman can't be a Christian and then he is giving his life as...

But you are trying to solve the worlds problems which they created by their disobedience to God. That will never work, for God is letting the world reap what it has sown. And you have the choice of waking up and refusing to continuing sowing with them in their futile eforts, learning to live...

I can understand why you think it is not the issue. You don't yet know all you yet need to know to be able to really see what the big picture is. I used to be just as you are on that until I learned those missing pieces of knowledge that at that time I had no clue I was even missing. I will do...

2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace...

If I were living in another country, I would not desire to become an American citizen because I would be unwilling to take that oath which requires that I be willing to bear arms. No matter what country I live in, I am 100% owned by Christ in whom "there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision...

Which is more practical: Your Bible or your gun?

The real threat of military style weapons like the AR-15 semi-automatic is that with a good scope the shooter can stand far enough away that you would already be dead before you even knew he was there. It would not matter how well armed you are for you would most usually not even know it was...

In my younger days I stepped in and stopped the rape of two different women from happening on two different occasions. In the second case the man was armed with a knife. Both times I managed to get the rape stopped using no weapon other than a bit of brute strength combined with words of...

It is all a part of the following: Luke 21:25 "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring.." Isaiah 57:20-21 "But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest...

I think I was pressing my brain into tiredness and confusion. I have sure done a lot of sleeping since then. :) Those who oppose the truths of God which I have been speaking are falsely judging my words, goading, and threatening me in private mail with warnings and threatening to ban me from...

Yes, that is it in a nutshell. :) Saved to his death that we might be saved by his life. :) Excellent thought!

That is a very good point. That is exactly what is happening. Many are confusing justification and sanctification as if they are the same thing.

I am not certain if by "rather" you mean "whether" as in "whether or not"? I do not believe we can be in Christ and have no works. For to have no works would be as not just spiritually dead, but completely dead. Christ is life and life is inseparable from works. No man can do nothing at all...

Yes, I think the saved we first experience is the same as Noah, because he had a faith which believed God, being able to be given (in a way he was really willing to receive and understand) the plans as to how to build the Ark. I had read one post a while back where the poster was arguing that...

That is the one track, that which you are advocating. For that is how it has always been done. Instead of really addressing the root cause they have always revamped and just skirted around the real causes due to unwillingness to accept that their NRA and military ideas are a part of that root...

What I like about the following text: Romans 6:22 "But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life." Is that it shows that being enslaved to God is a necessary part of our being saved and thus lets us...

When the wider context is considered, I think we are safe to see Romans 4:5 as saying, "But to him who doesn't work [with a mindset as if to try to earn salvation], but [instead] believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness." For if that were not true then...

Some of those studies were quoted in this thread. If you need more, they are easy to find by searching on the Internet. I am not going to do your work of finding them for you only to have that effort be for not when you choose to rationalize it away. No offense intended, but we all must...
