First that is the OT. Second it is a nation not an individual. Time for the "Ignore Tab". Yep, time for the "Ignore Tab". There's no such thing as back-sliding. No way! Oh, well that refers to a nation...., not an individual. Yep, time for the "Ignore Tab".

Hosea 4:16 For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.

JesusFan, it does appear to me that using the word "practice" as it's applied here is a result of "Scripture Religion". Every morning when I wake up I consume several cups of coffee. As I like coffee in the morning it has become a hobby? A habit? A practice? I drink coffee every morning...

I said I was confused? No, I just don't need to know it all. If I knew it all, why then would there be a need for faith?

FAL, I am almost of the opinion that you shine so brightly that someone needs to put a tub over your head so the sun can shine in the morning. I have only run across one other man in my life that knew it all. In fact, this guy knows more than you do when you get right down to it. Can you...

The prodigal son was lost. That "specific" prodigal son probably never existed. The point that I glean from the parable is that the Father took him back after his son's fruitless adventures in the way of the world. His Father was his Father prior too, during and after. ...duh.

AmyG..., no down to earth logic on their part I suppose. Depends IF you see him as being a christian , or else apostate Judaism or some other exotic stuff! Gotcha'. Our Lord ought to be ashamed of himself for deciding to use this specific example is His Word. Especially if His...

Prodigal Son anyone? ...or does that scripture not count?

Included in each and every prayer I offer up whether personally or in Church, I always ask the Lord to forgive me of my sins or ask for forgiveness of sins collectively. To me, only the self-righteous are totally and completely without sin..., exception being FAL. Think of the man in the...

I don't think anything. I know Whosoever is born of God doth not commit (practice) sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot (practice) sin, because he is born of God. ...wow. :rolleyes:

12Strings, unless one is caught up in the addiction of kinky s-e-x the looking twice at a pretty young heifer in her mini-skirt and bubbling over the top of her blouse, is hardly the same as being addicted to alcohol. But then again, it certainly can be. Yes, it's all sinful and contrary to...

12strings..., have you ever gazed at a beautiful young woman..., twice? More so than "once" I would imagine. Would this "sin" of eyeballing that beautiful young woman be worse than the "sin" of taking that one drink..., not of faith? Prior to my salvation I had no problem with...

A Christian addicted to alcohol is not a sinner because of said addiction.

During the Old Testament era our Lord's presence was on the earth speaking through his Prophets and Priests. The Lord's presence was on the earth in the form of man to be followed by the presence of the Holy Spirit which is in each of us. Yes, Satan is around every corner but the presence...

Yes, I am quite distraught right now. Angry.

John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. HankD ...in the meantime families heap coals of fire upon their heads. Offering up scripture is fine but does this...

I think FAL was speaking TIC. But sometimes it is hard to tell. ...you mean like, speaking in tongues?

Remember no one is perfect, no one can keep from sinning, and God accepts you like you are. Just ask most anyone who claims to be a Christian today. So all must be well. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. Right over your head, huh? Well, unlike many, my world just isn't as perfect as some...

The issue here, as I see it, is not the mental or physical condition of the victim. Think victim. Victim, like in the one having been harmed. The issue appears to be the cold blooded, heartless individual lacking a moral compass and otherwise obsessed with causing harm to another and/or...

I was reading the news this morning (worldnetdaily.com) and just sat here shaking my head. The Air Force Academy has begun erecting pagan worship centers so as to accommodate those who demand their rights to worship such. (How can a pagan have the clarity of mind to command others when it...
