 I looked that up in the King James bible and it calls God's kingdom an actual government. I guess that makes sense, there has to be some form of govenment over those in Mathew 5:5 However, there must be some complicated explanation from some greek or hebrew scholar, to make this simple...

I understand your point, but if God is going to bless America in general, the government and people "in general" would have to be working hard to please him and as far as soldiers are concerned [ and I truely feel for those poor men and woman ] all soldiers on both sides of any war feel they are...

Thankyou! I have been thinking the same thing about why few people have had anything to say- not even my constant attacker[ wont name his name or this will be deleted, but by now, everyone must recognize what he's doing ] this subject seems to scare most everyone. This is the best country in the...

I'm glad you recognize the valuelessness of your post, that you would expect it to be removed. You apparantly have no counter arguement for his fine post. :confused:

 {{{ VERY WELL PUT! How could anyone read your post, look up the scriptures and still believe  in an immortal soul? Well thought out post and just scriptures too, not a bunch of quotes from historians, scholars, etc. The bible is very clear, if a persons mind is not already made up...

 Well, for saying the above quote, I was fined another 1000 points and given another warning. I'm not disagreeing with the moderator of course, thats against the rules so i'll just say- Job well done! I agree with you!!! I thank you for your christian welcome to this site too! Hmmmm, maybe...

O.K. thankyou, Maybe I wont get thrown out for not agreeing with Old Shepherd, I dont know. Maybe he thinks i'm a J.W. L.D.S. or some other religion he has prejudged to hell! I'm just a person looking for truth who has not belonged to a church in many years, but I do read and study my bible!

:scratch: Does America in general [ Americans ] obey God? If they do, they deserve his blessing.My 2nd question for everyone is: Will God bless the soldiers in war, not for their own protection, but for the ability to kill their enemies? I'm curious as to how a group of very religious minded...

Thankyou Jon and Lilangelheart. That helps a lot! I've only used a computer for a very short time and have much to learn! :)

Wow! So much was said! I will just use 1 scripture as to what the soul is- Genesis 2:7 says the organic material god formed from the ground [ dust ] BECAME a living soul- it didnt get one. Simple huh?

After all the figuring, making of opinions and decipherring of the way Jesus worded this or that- who did Jesus flat out clearly say he was,over and over again? Did he say straight out "I AM GOD ALMIGHTY"?? No, he said he was the son of God, not God the son EVER. The fact that Thomas said "MY...

Once again, i'm new here. The "old shepherd" appears to be a rude know it all, from what I see here. Noones opinion or proof is worth anything but his! There's one in every group, I hope others are more Christlike- some I see are!

I am new at the use of a computer. How do I navigate this website? I would like to find replies to my previous posts [ I have made a few and cant find them ] and i'd like to be able to go back and forth from my replies to a multi bible translation site I know of, for references and back here...

Well, i'll say this. People dont get up on Christmas morning and say "happy birthday Jesus" and then spend the day thinking about him, do they? It's about presents for people,parades,drinking and is totally commercial as I see it. You see more Santa Clauses and Snowmen, than you do nativity...

Once again, Franklin makes sense! It was long accepted that the world was flat too, but it was wrong. 1 Corinthians 15:24 sure dont make Jesus sound like God to me! And this scripture was after Jesus was resurrected to heaven to be "at the right hand of God" not to BE GOD. Franklin, I would like...

DRMMJR makes good solid points [ I dont know anyone here, i'm new, so i'm not siding with a person ] The words Hades,Sheol and Gehenna certainly dont insinuate in any way HELLFIRE AND TORMENT. Hades[greek] and Sheol [hebrew] mean the same thing. The grave.At Gen 37:35 the righteous man Jacob...

Drmmjr made excellent points! Add this to that=Numbers, 31:28 And levy a tribute unto the Lord of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:A "soul" is a living breathing thing. Thus Adam...
