If anyone has an ear, let him hear: If anyone is to be taken captive, to captivity he goes; if anyone is to be slain with the sword, with the sword must he be slain. Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints. Revelation 13:9-10 We are called to endure faithfully...

There seems to be a general consensus that war is bad, but is it really? Some wars seem to come out of nowhere, their starts making little sense after the fact, but was there a deeper, more spiritual cause? I think war is the only way in which blood polluted land can be redeemed. God cursed...

1 Kings 21:27 And when Ahab heard those words, he tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his flesh and fasted and lay in sackcloth and went about dejectedly. 28 And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 29 “Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has...

1 Kings 14:11 Anyone belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city the dogs shall eat, and anyone who dies in the open country the birds of the heavens shall eat, for the Lord has spoken it.”’ 12 Arise therefore, go to your house. When your feet enter the city, the child shall die. 13 And all...

I have previously suffered persecution for my refusal to participate in eisegesis (though they call it exegesis, I contend that the Scripture does not require explanation because its purpose is explanation), but I was advised that I may post in my style in this forum. Haggai 1:2“Thus says the...

The Lord is a man of war;(Exodus 15:3) My God is a warrior, and warriors follow HIM. I came to this site because I struggle to reconcile certain concepts of the Gospel and epistles(as taught by many churches) with the rest of the Scripture. Many places in the NT show Jesus' return as a warrior...

Have you been looking for the key to unlocking the deep meaning of Scripture? Do you endeavor to conform your theology to the whole of Scripture? The article of the gracious righteousness of God is the key to the Holy Scriptures. (Psalm 118:22, Isaiah 28:16, Matthew 21:42, Mark 12:10, Luke...

Each of us is the protagonist of our own story if we look at our own lives as pieces of a far greater story. When I was younger, I would have cast myself as the hero of my tale, but I have begun to see how I could be the antagonist of someone else's story. That is sobering. Considering the...

Conservatism is very popular in U.S. Christian circles, but can anyone name even one social or political issue in which conservatives in the modern(post WW2) era experienced a long term victory? The people intent on cultural change set the groundwork for it culturally through education and...

I have been struggling with excruciating pain. Please pray for me.

Revelation 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. Revelation 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was...

I request that this discussion be focused on the significance of the separation between the two groups of weeks. Every teaching I have read regarding this subject ignores the separation and refers to the two groups of weeks as 69 weeks. However the prophesy clearly stipulates in verse 26 that...

When on-duty LEOs abuse citizens, there is no justice available. Punishment of the individual is not justice because the officer brings down the full weight of government on the victim, and the government is not held accountable. LEOs should be held to a higher standard, but qualified immunity...

What is the purpose of the Bible? Is there an underlying theme to all of scripture? Is there a particular phrase or idea that is repeated throughout the entirety of scripture? Jeremiah 9:6 Their dwelling place is in the midst of deceit; Through deceit they refuse to know Me, says the Lord...

In order to avoid strife caused by foolish and unlearned questions(2 Timothy 2:23), please allow the Holy Spirit to interpret the context of these verses.(John 14:26) John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: Romans 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind...

There is a Fine Line Between Knowledge and Gnosticism. 1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in...

Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. Matthew 9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Matthew 12:7 But if ye had known...

Psalm 27:9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. Job 13:24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy? Psalm 102:2 Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in...

I will be using excerpts and not quoting everything in context(I expect those who are interested in discussing this subject to familiarize themselves with the context) because my intent is to highlight certain similar phraseology for discussion. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much...

"Be fruitful, and multiply" Is this a blessing or a command? *EDIT* What commandment were the people violating if not Genesis 9:7? Genesis 9:7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. Genesis 11 And the whole earth was of one...
