Maybe it's the fact you quoted me, but was much of what you said directly focused toward me? Because I never said polygamy was a straight up sin. I don't think it's what God intended, at all. Just as he didn't intend for Saul to be King. Or intend for Adam to fall. Or intend for Sampson to go...

Yes. It was absolutely a real place then.... But Jesus says hear what the Lord has to say to the churchES.

My comment on taking the Bible literally, was not meaning take the ENTIRE Bible literally. Hence why I talked about several ways we need to take the Bible.... We need to take it literally, metaphorically, prescription, and description. These are 4 different ways, there are probably more. I had...

Right before he sets up his kingdom. I dunno if I'd use that commentary anymore... It says New Jerusalem comes down first, and the white throne judgment is second... It's reverse in the Bible

Hmm... Can you show me where you're getting that from? There's countless pointing in the Bible to Messiah being on the earth reigning. Psalm 2 comes to mind. But even in line with this topic... Revelation 20:9, Satan is bound in a bottomless pit (which some say is the center of the earth. The...

Jesus is coming to reign and rule on the earth. The scroll with the seven seals is a title deed of the land... The physical earth will be as it should have been before the fall of man. Instead of the first Adam ruling, it'll be the second Adam. Fulfilling the promises to Israel of the Messiah's...

I'm glad. I saw you talked about finding a church... And the worry of being hurt is a real one in one sense. But in another sense, just ask God to give you a church that brings you closer to Him. You'll never find a perfect church that won't hurt you... But you will find a church that is perfect...

Jesus said tribulation is a time of testing. Revelation 3:10 It's also called the time of Jacob's trouble. Not the world's trouble, but Jacob's. It's never called Israel's trouble. The Jacob/Israel usages aren't as interchangeable as people make it out to be... Jacob is always used to refer...

What a difficult situation!... I'll be praying for you all. I'm 32, and my testimony sounds similar to your son's. I didn't grow up in a church home, but a strict, loving father. I turned to new age around the same time as him. I got saved about 2012/2013, so 7-8 years ago (it was a long...

Pray. If you're mad at God, then tell him. It won't be a surprise to him. Tell him why you're bitter at him, and if you want to hold onto it, tell him that, too. If you want to let it go, tell him so. It was the beginning of me letting go of myself. And if you tell him how you feel, ask him to...

This was the verse that came to my mind as well. It is singularly clear in these verses what marriage is... And in Ephesians when Paul talks of marriage, he says he is not speaking of marriage, though it is a great mystery, but the marriage of the single body of Christ married to Christ. He...

The Man of Perdition is described as someone much more suave than Trump. No, I don't think he's revealed, yet. 2 Thessalonians points to the fact that the Holy Spirit would have to no longer be restraining evil for the Man of Sin to be revealed. Some say that when the Holy Spirit no longer...

If we're to look at the flood as an example of the end... There were some who were carried through, and one who was caught up (raptured). Noah's family was carried through the flood. Enoch was raptured before the flood. No one knows for sure. The Bible doesn't say to know. It says to be ready...

I don't think I'm understanding... Are you saying what they said isn't for today? Paul is speaking to them and us. Jesus said the kingdom is at hand, the kingdom is now, and the kingdom is in us. Then he says to pray for His kingdom to come (but I thought it was here and now and in us??????)...

All I know is I have unbelieving friends on my Facebook saying this is the end times, and others saying this is not normal. And when I witness to people, they're not saying yes, but they're not stopping me either. We may see the last great revival! I'm praying :)

I agree this isn't something he chose to punish sexual immorality... In fact end of Romans 1, it seems to say that sexual immorality is a consequence of a society that doesn't believe God created all things. Verse 20 to the end. It's funny people are saying COVID-19 is punishment for sexual...

Galatians has quite a bit to say on the topic of outward circumcision. Chapters 2 (Titus was not circumcised), 5, and 6. There were a lot of Jews who were going out of their way to make sure gentiles must be brought under the law... I feel like a huge part of Paul's ministry deals with that...

It was to make sharing the gospel more effective. Because of their blindedness about the Law they didn't need any unnecessary distractions, or immediate closed doors.

Paul was so great. These kinds of things are done with such a balance and love for the whole body. Just like we will protect our own hand so readily from being hurt... Because it affects the individual hand as well as our whole body. Paul was so quick to confront Peter for the same reason... So...

I like the amplified, because the verses you're mentioning that NIV removes, the amplified keeps it in but makes a note that those verses are not in the earliest manuscripts we have. And NIV just removes them... I don't like it either, and I tell new believers this, but the main thing that's...
