What illegal act? What Law was violated? You are a poor mind reader, constantly stating what I think and getting it wrong. I told you what I think: The arrest of a terrorist dictator to face charges in the United States of America was LEGAL under US Law The ILLEGAL-under-International-Law...

I am not a particular fan of "End Times" details (more heat than light in most discussions), however, from the perspective of an overarching narrative ... Satan bound at the cross (diminished power over mankind) and released at the last day "just in time" to be cast into the "Lake of Fire"...

Maybe some Egyptian ... he lived there as a child for a time and children pick up language quickly.

You are the only one claiming "might makes right" (and you claim it over and over). I just claimed the arrest of a terrorist dictator to face charges in the United States of America was LEGAL under US Law (and that International Law does not really exist since there is no "enforcement mechanism"...

OK, let us accept that as you propose and do the math [just because I like math] ... 1 day = 1000 years. The devil is bound for 1000 years. The devil is bound for 1000 x 365 = 365,000 days ... which is really 365,000,000 years! Assuming the Devil was bound at the Crucifixion and that was in AD...

I am under the impression that ... "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who...

Having visited Miami, FL ... I suspect Jesus spoke the language of his immediate audience. Aramaic in Samaria, Hebrew in synagogue and Jerusalem, perhaps Greek in the Decapolis and Latin in the Courts. Jesus primary goal was to reach his audience.

How many US soldiers are presently in Venezuela? invasion (noun) 1: an act of invading : incursion of an army for conquest or plunder

Was it illegal for Russia to invade Ukraine? Under Russian Law, no. So if you ask a Russian then the correct answer is "No, the invasion was not illegal". Under Ukrainian Law, yes. So if you ask a Ukrainian then the correct answer is "Yes, the invasion was illegal". Under "International Law"...

God says: Ezekiel 18:20, 32 [ESV] "The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself. ... For I...

That is NOT the OP, this is: ... to which the answer is "No." murder (noun) 1: the crime of unlawfully and unjustifiably killing a person : such a crime committed under circumstances defined by statute 2: something very difficult or dangerous 3: a flock of...

I embrace the concept of "multiplication by division" (like 'any True Baptist') as demonstrated in our willingness to split over "Pastor" vs "Overseer" vs "Elder" as the CORRECT BAPTIST title. ;)

Is "driving a speedboat full of drugs" and "being Jewish, gay or mentally ill in Germany" (both grounds to be killed by the military) really a reasonable equivalence? I think "genocide" is "Jumping the Shark".

You may be correct, but the number of churches shrinking rather than growing suggests I may have a valid observation: people come, are unable to find purpose or connection within the body, and leave. Let me ask another question: At a Church Social (anything with food), do the same people...

"an elder" = one among several "monarchical pastor" = the ONLY elder (a council of 1) Got Questions: Proverbs 15:22 says, “Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counselors they are established” (KJV). Proverbs 11:14 and 24:6 also mention the value of a “multitude of...

I will have to let Martin answer for Martin (I already stated what I thought his objection was to). I am qualified to answer for ME (no mind-reading required) ;) Church government form is almost irrelevant. All forms have inherent strengths and weaknesses. In my experience, the "weak link"...

I don't think so. Having been in more than a few churches and been under more than a few church Government Structures, Martin seems to have a problem with the "GOD - PASTOR - congregation" model of Church hierarchy that too often manifests as an "Imperial Pastor" who functions like the Pope of...

I took an online test that told me I was a Baptist. ;) ... seriously! [From Atheism] After attending the RCC, Church of God (Anderson Indiana), Evangelical Free Church, Pentecostal Church (independent with Moravian leanings) ... and reading a lot of Bible, I took an extensive online quiz that...

If you had been standing on the Road to Damascus as Saul was being saved ... what would you have seen? A flash and thunder? What would that have convinced you of? "The proof of the pudding is in the eating" is an old English proverb meaning that the EVIDENCE is in the RESULT. The...

It should be comparable to “Joining a gang” … a lifetime commitment to a “family” … “blood in, blood out” … the prospective member should run a gauntlet of existing members and take their beating (proving they really WANT to be part of the family and that they have earned their place). ”That...
